Blog Mainline: Pinch - RA Podcast

Testament to the quality of Resident Advisor's podcast series, Pinch's contribution (#247) deftly exlpores the gulf between the dancefloor tempos that made itself incredibly prominent last year, in a way that only Pinch can. A 140bpm pioneer and one of the true proponents of infusing the 'dub' into dubstep, Pinch's production work and the weight of the releases on his Tectonic label is the stuff of legend. His approach always instills the stale smelling dread of early DMZ and the punch of those big soundsystems he's besotted with and the gradual build in pace of this mix works perfectly to ease attention up and at 'em.
