Tectonic Recordings, founded by Pinch in Bristol 20 years ago, is a significant player in the dubstep scene, known for its unique sound that diverges from mainstream trends. The label strikes a balance between influences from various genres, including Jamaican roots, world music, and footwork, emphasising playfulness and innovation over self-seriousness. The New compilation, Tectonic Sound (2025), showcases the label's current sound, featuring various artists like Pevrelists and Re:ni, and includes a mix of genres that blend techno and dubstep. Highlights include contributions from rising star Beatrice M and techno duo FJAAK, creating a dynamic collection that maintains Tectonic's innovative spirit with tracks that push boundaries while remaining accessible but stylistically forward-thinking.
