City / Teacher

Author’s first single is set to land just ahead of their November-slated debut LP for Tectonic. Listeners can expect deep melodic music with real instrumentation and - most importantly - no pretension. A tough combination to deliver effectively, yet Author do so with consumate ease. So who or what is Author? A new name on the scene, no doubt, yet the producer duo that constitutes Author are certainly no newbies in their own right. Ryan Gath aka Jack Sparrow has a slew of deep-dubstep dancefloor killers under his belt, as well as the jaw-dropping 2010 ‘Cicadian’ album on Tectonic. Alongside Sparrow is fellow Leeds based beat-sculpter, long standing friend and producer Dom Howard, known for his Ruckspin dubstep production monkier as well as being a key member and producer for the live dubstep super-group Submotion Orchestra. 'The City' is a strong, energetic future-garage riddim packed with depth, subtlety and laden with plenty of dancefloor savvy. The opening strings and city soundscapes set a restrained but tense and melancholic atmosperic context. Almost from nowhere the heavy beats and bass combo drops, delivering hard, rolling garage drums and warp-speed bassline. Full of intricate shuffle and dynamic energy, 'The City' is a killer track all round. Flip for 'Teacher', which expertly captures the essence of the original 2004-2005 dubstep vibe while updating the sonic palette and production levels for 2011. Heavy sub-fuelled bass pummels underneath choppy dubbed out hits and broken tribal drums. Simply quality.
