Pinch is a dubstep artist hailing from Bristol, United Kingdom. He has gained recognition for his unique blend of styles, incorporating elements of Reggae, World Music, and Dancehall into his dubstep sound. With a career spanning over two decades, Pinch has become a prominent figure in the genre.
His music is characterized by its deep basslines, intricate rhythms, and atmospheric textures. Drawing inspiration from various musical influences, Pinch creates immersive sonic landscapes that captivate listeners. His tracks are known for their powerful energy and infectious grooves.
Influenced by artists such as Kode9, Vex'd, Shackleton, and Distance among others; Pinch has carved out his own distinct sound within the dubstep scene. Collaborating with renowned performers like Peverelist, Ramadanman, Loefah and many more; he continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories.

Dropping his first solo 12 for the label since 2010s The Boxer, label head honcho Pinch returns to home turf for our next release, backed with a dark rolling techno remix from Berlin legend, Shed.Some words from Pinch on the release:"I've never spent so long on a single track before. I spent hours and hours trying to get the particular sonic I wanted - layering microscopic sounds in the background textures, processing sounds and so on. In the end it became something of an obsession in me to get it right - hence my changing the title from 'The Possession' to 'Obsession (The Possession)'."'Obsession (The Possession)' begins with a weighty pounding 4/4 kick pummelling forward, re-pitching every other 8 bars and building percussion along the route. 32 bars in and an eerie demonic mist starts to form, cloudy and hypnotising before a series of psychotic bass stabs cut in, unleashing a barrage of unhinged percussive hits and terrifying sonics. On remix duties is none other than one of the most talented figures in contemporary techno - a man who goes by many different guises but is still best known as Shed. Here the version is more rolling yet still dark and totally unique sounding - paranoid techno at the hands of a true master.
