Pinch and Riko Dan—an unstoppable duo. This track dropped in 2018, but it’s never left rotation. Still hits just as hard. Big love to Tectonic. Make sure you run the original.

LEMONS - The 2025 Harvest

For the final show of the year, producer and @dj-pinch (AKA Rob Ellis) closes things out with a mix celebrating 20 years of his label @tectonic-recordings – an imprint which has been at the forefront of pioneering dubstep since 2005.

Established in Bristol, where Pinch has called home since the late 90s, Tectonic emerged from a city renowned for its creative communities and music scene, rooted in a history of reggae, trip-hop, and jungle.

The label’s first release was Pinch’s own 12", titled “Alien Tongue / War Dub” featuring P Dutty. From there, he went on to release his solo debut Underwater Dancehall and later, Reality Tunnels on Tectonic, alongside a slew of records from the likes of Peverlist, Loefah, Skream, Photek, Shed, and Mumdance & Logos. Beyond Tectonic, Pinch has collaborated with musician Shackleton on a ground-breaking album in 2011, as well as two projects with legendary dub producer Adrian Sherwood.

Over time, Tectonic’s sound has evolved from its dubstep roots towards the fringes, from breakcore and bass to experimental techno. The mix that Pinch has created for this month’s  Carhartt WIP Radio show traces Tectonic’s back catalogs, sharing past tracks alongside the present, with a few special mash-ups along the way.

The mix comes with an interview where Pinch eflects on the creative benefits of collaboration, the renewed interest in the meditative side of dubstep, and the lessons behind running an underground label for two decades. Read the interview at www.carhartt-wip.com.
