A quick heads up. This one is out today, everywhere basically.

A few nice reviews have appeared:
"Fledgling Danish label Teal continue their mission statement to release interesting music regardless of genre. Their third release sees them turn to fellow Copenhagen resident Tobias Pedersen, who operates under the mysterious Beastie Respond moniker. "Syncopy" will draw obvious comparisons with Non Plus figureheads Instra:mental for its clear deviations into the slower, deep, mind altering end of the drum and bass spectrum. Amidst the sparse, crackling array of percussive rhythms and devious industrial textures there's a dubby warmth to the swing that adds a unique touch, whilst the overall tone sits just the right side of melancholia. Further kudos is awarded to Teal for enlisting Blawan to remix the track, with the R&S/Hessle lynchpin naturally embellishing proceedings with his own devious array of layered drum sounds whilst dragging the source material down a decidedly darker sonic corridor. Big tip!" - Juno.co.uk

"Dark and techy 'step material from Beastie Respond, including a colossal Blawan remix. We'd have to align the anomalous folk-dub melody and quicksilver 'step of the original 'Syncopy' with recent productions from ASC or Synkro & Indigo, but the flipside is truly something else. Carved from heaviest Techno substance, Blawan augments it to a 126bpm velocity with impacting Berghain-style drops and a bassline heft weighing in next to Dettmann or Scuba's heaviest hydraulicks. One listen and you'll be bitten. TIP! " - Boomkat.co.uk

"Danish producer Tobias Hjørnet, AKA Beastie Respond, is a new face to drum & bass, and his proper debut comes on an unlikely platform. While TEAL is based in Hjørnet's homeland, its first two releases have focused on classic-leaning house with just a touch of the hardcore continuum. "Syncopy" cruises on a submerged 170 BPM heartbeat with all the smooth, autopilot elegance of the sleekest Detroit automobiles. The nighttime voyage feeling is enhanced by swirling streams of slide guitar (not unlike Fracture & Neptune's recent "Customtone").

Now for something completely different: Blawan is tapped for a remix and provides a speedy house workout. His work here bleeds into techno, as he takes a drum pattern and feeds it through an especially angry reel-to-reel machine, snarling and repeating its broken loop until it becomes sufficiently menacing over the massive tectonic shifting it calls a bassline. The bits of slide guitar are a brief reminder of the beauty on the flip, but it's largely elegant beauty on the one hand and gruff mechanics on the other. Both are new looks for the fledgling label, but both fit to a tee regardless. 4/5 " - Andrew Ryce at Resident Advisor

The 12" has already sold out at hardwax, boomkat, bm-soho. Better act fast.
