Cyclical is the debut full-length from iTAL tEK, a.k.a. Alan Myson of Brighton. After massive 12-inch releases on Planet Mu and SQR last year, the man returns with an album's worth of moody yet beautiful dubstep with swooning chords underpinned by a techy undercarriage. "[Bloodline] is the perfect introduction to his 'darker' sound, and as the rest of the scene moves into a more 4/4 direction, we see iTAL tEK taking things into the basement and adding a sizable chunk of noise into his productions. It reminds me of when the whole Renegade Hardware sound took hold of drum 'n' bass, and that's no bad thing--there's always space for growling distortion and a bad attitude in my mind. I guess Vex'd and more recently Cloaks have approached this sound, but iTAL tEK brings enough variation to make this 12-inch stand out, and far from merely exploring a bit these tracks have some serious bass weight. You know what to do--bring the darkness!" --Boomkat
