The mighty Tectonic drop the latest in their esteemed ‘Plates’ series, compiling exclusive tracks from a selection of electronic music’s leading and breaking artists.
The ‘Plates’ collections provide an opportunity to showcase the label’s vast array of talent and at the same time extend invitations to like-minded respected artists to join the club. On ‘Tectonic Plates Volume 3’, the first half offerings range across classic 140bpm tempi, including Kryptic Minds’ haunting opening declaration ‘The Talisman’, Pinch’s deeply cinematic ‘Blow Out The Candle’, ‘Evolution’ by Clue Kid, and the supersonic ‘Mach’ by Japan’s Goth Trad. Tribal influences permeate through Tunnidge’s ‘Universal’ and rhythms also swerve towards funky with an appearance from Roska on ‘480 BC’ and, shot through with an array of classic scratch DJ samples, ‘Phantom’ by Addison Groove. Cardiff’s Monky introduces the second movement with the transcendent breaks of ‘Float’ before the heavy-prog-rock stomp of Ginz’s ‘Chrome’ body-slams events firmly back into place.
Three breakout artists are featured with recent Red Bull Music Academy participant Om Unit, Kevin McPhee and Manchester’s Illum Sphere. The album’s closing scene is the epic 10 minute ‘Rogue State’ by 2562, an artist who needs no introduction since Tectonic released his career defining albums ‘Aerial’ (2008) and ‘Unbalance’ (2009). The special limited-run vinyl version of ‘Tectonic Plates Volume 3’ is comprised of four individual plates, each cut and pressed to the same high deejay-tooled standard as a regular Tectonic 12” single, housed in a wide-spine heavyweight card sleeve with eyecatching metallic artwork.
