Photek and Pinch

Two collaborations between two highly respected producers. Photek’s Closer marked the 50th release on Pinch’s Tectonic label last year, and some time in the studio together has produced these standout tracks. Acid Reign first appeared in January on Pinch’s FabricLive mix compilation, his dubplate version described by Fact mag as a slow-burning half-stepper with a twisted acid melody fighting for air in an oil spill; as claustrophobic as you like, basically. M25FM appears on Photek’s instalment to the highly respected DJ Kicks compilation series, it’s another acid-tinged track, taking us into much deeper territory. Tip!
