Dubstep has definitely moved much further into the limelight since Random Trio's Cyrus released his stone cold debut LP for Tectonic in 2007, appropriately titled 'From The Shadows'. The hypnotic beats, pounding subs and delicate atomospherics meld together resulting in a trademark style that is simultaneously powerful and subtle. One of the LP tracks 'Indian Stomp' even made it to the silver screen, featuring in both the film and the official soundtrack for blockbuster 'Children Of Men' (Universal Pictures) which depicts a dark dystopian future in the UK. Returning now for the first time since 2007 Cyrus drops a heavily weighted plate on Tectonic with two minimal stepper riddims 'Space Cadet' and 'Junk Yard'. 'Space Cadet' takes the stripped down minimal approach to an extreme. Once the mechanical other worldly atmospherics and fizzing hi hats drift away the beat comes rolling in - rock solid and uncomprimising. Kick, hat, snare - and, of course - stomach shaking ankle flapping subs that lay low down and heavy (you might not even hear them if your system doesn't carry the weight...) to provide a sound system riddim that will rattle your rib cage. This is not home listening music, this is earth shaking, bowel moving music to play loud through a speaker stack. Drop it and watch the pavement shake around you! 'Junk Yard' continues the theme of Cyrus's highly developed, precision drum and sub production skills along with an attention to detail that ensures not a single hair or hi-hat dare be out of place. Minimalism only works when you pay close attention to detail and once again - everything here is perfectly executed as he continues the intergalactic theme set by 'Space Cadet'. If this track does represent a junk yard of sorts then it plays soundtrack to Skywalker, Solo and Leia fleeing the Death Star via the cosmic garbage shoot - the relentless double time bassline providing urgency to escape while strange atompspheric stabs emerge like the alien beasts lurking just beneath the surface. Top quality bass weight.
