Sunday April 25th - Upstairs @ Bar Open, CLub 234 William St Northbridge
Ten years deep in the game, originally drum n bass producers, KRYPTIC MINDS have come full circle to the forefront of the Dubstep movement and are the flagship artists on LOEFAH's label - SWAMP81. Their 12”s and album 'One of Us' continue dubstep’s tradition for stone-cold halfstep, flying against the dancefloor’s natural urges for momentum and release. Instead they unleash fearsome sub bass assaults that lead listeners into an edgy otherworld and have become staples of sets by halfstep innovator Youngsta as well as Loefah himself.
The Kryptic Minds sound acknowledges the difference between edgy and too angry, that restraint often has more impact than chaotic release. This deft understanding of the tensions and contradictions buried within dubstep, and how you use them is played out yet further on their new album 'One of Us'. Whereas some albums try to cover many different moods, tempos and directions, the album zooms in on edgy 140bpm halfstep, forcing the listener into a headspace where perfectly placed details come into vivid focus, like the hyper-real intensity of night adrenalin. Everything is taughtly coiled, as if priming the listener for a flight-or-fight reflex. The tension is barely unleashed throughout the album!
Along with the mentioned alliances with Youngsta and Loefah, KRYPTIC MINDS have been busy on the remix hot tip, aswell as playing all the seminal Dubstep clubs and events around the globe. Watch out - the future is dark, the future is KRYPTIC MINDS.
