Pinch was born in Scotland, grew up in Newport and eventually settled in Bristol, drawn to the dubwise culture and relaxed atmosphere that the city is renowned for. Pinch hugely influenced by the Bristol sound - Portishead, Massive Attack, Tricky, Smith & Mighty, More Rockers, Roni Size, Die, Krust and Suv. Pinch doesn't feel that he has set out to make 'Bristol' music, ‘Pinch Quoted’ “ I'm just doing what comes naturally…I'm influenced by it so that will obviously shine through in some capacity but my real drive came from London - dubstep is a London sound much in the way jungle was “.
From there, after gaining immense props around town for his thrilling, thoughtful backroom sets of grime, minimal and abstract garage, he founded his own label, Tectonic Records (telling motto: “If your chest ain’t rattlin’, it ain’t happenin…”) dedicated to the new wave of bass music that we’ve come to call dubstep. After putting out a string of essential releases on the imprint from, among others, Plastician, Distance and Skream (check ‘Bahl Fwd’), and continuing to host his ever-popular Dubloaded night, Pinch sealed his reputation early 05 with the ‘Qawaali’ twelve-inch on Planet Mu – a contemplative and instant classic backed up by one of his legendary VIP reworks.
