Reality Tunnels is released by Tectonic Recordings on 19 June
Veteran dubstep producer and Subloaded co-founder Pinch will release his first solo album in 13 years via his own Tectonic label. Taking inspiration from author Robert Anton Wilson, more specifically Prometheus Rising (1983) and its concept of the subjective filter, the album’s lead track “Accelerated Culture” marks a lifting of boundaries for the producer as he follows an “anything goes ethos”, as inspired by his time working with Adrian Sherwood.
“Our beliefs, values, behaviours and so on, which we create and can therefore reshape, are the product of our individual reality tunnels,” explains Pinch aka Rob Ellis. “Every track on the album serves as its own reality tunnel and each tells a different part of my musical story.
“I first made the track “Back To Beyond” following a complicated experience with infinity,” he continues. “I decided it was going to be the cornerstone of my second solo LP and set about making more music with that purpose in mind. There were to be no boundaries placed on the music – it would just be for me.”
Reality Tunnels is released on 19 June.
