Description
Beneath has been amassing support over this last year for his unique take on the 120-130 bpm tempo range with recent releases on Keysound and his own No Symbols imprint, as well as killer sets and mixes on The Boiler Room and beyond. Starting with a UK Funky inspired rhythmical backbone, Beneath moves things deep, dark, rolling and tribal with a sound palette that touches very much on the early aesthetic of dubstep circa 2003-2005. Tectonic is very pleased to welcome the young mysterious talent that is Beneath to the label with these two stone cold cuts. ‘Duty’ is pure sonic warfare condensed into 125 bpm and charged with system-punching weight. It builds slowly but moves with grace and percussive energy and – as always with Tectonic – plenty of gut-wrenching sub bass. It is dark and deadly in every way and highly recommended. ‘Texers’ continues the theme with a no-compromise approach and bags of attitude. The best way to describe these sounds are if you were to imagine a killer Roska track circa 2010, married with the soundscapes of a 2005-Youngsta DJ set, re-imagined for 2013. Future sound? There’s no such thing – this is one hundred per cent of the moment.
