RELEASE DATE
6/5/2007
Emerging from the studio with perfect timing, Tectonic delivers the debut opus from UK-based
Random Trio
's
Cyrus
, one of the scene's most dangerously underrated talents. Since last year's
Random Trio
EP, Cyrus has been working on his studio tan, perfecting a true definition of dubstep with professor-like precision, rising up within the hallowed tutelage of
Hatcha
's dubplate box, and under the watchful eye of local Croydon peers
Digital Mystikz
and label head and stylistic brethren,
Pinch
. In this time, his production skills have improved immeasurably, resulting in the expertly studied rhythm and bass science of
From The Shadows
. From the kick-stepping and hard-skanking pressure of "Paradise Dub," the gauntlet is laid down to a scene of imitators and dilettantes, strutting onto the floor like a tempered hybrid of Pinch's moody Orientalism and
Mala
-style polyrhythmic kick drums patterns, this is some serious dancefloor material. Next we're dropped into "Gutter" with death-prodding atmospheres and fathoms of layered sub-bass demanding to be played loud. "Mind Games" pays debt to the rhythmic dub ingenuity of
Keith Hudson
or
Scientist
, updated with added subs for a 2007 shockout effect. "Dark Future" steps on it with shuffling whip-crack percussion and a strobing synth line direct from Babylon, while the title track "From The Shadows" brings some relief with lush pads and hollowed hardcore structures harking back to
A Guy Called Gerald
's seminal
Black Street Technology
album -- high praise indeed. "The Watcher" is an evolutionary stepper with a tempered restraint, holding back tons of bass pressure until it's required. "Dirt" explores the same blue moods as dubstep's other hero of dark soul,
Burial
, with mournful chords and echo chamber reverb adding abandoned warehouse space over a swung halfstep beat and next-level bass techniques. This is a remarkably immaculate document of dubstep for 2007 which fans of Burial's hallowed debut or
Digital Mystikz
will cherish highly.
