Ten years since they formed, 2009 marks a turning point in the disturbed mental explorations of Kryptic Minds. Having built an enviable back catalogue of dark, deadly drum & bass, the production duo of Si & Leon aka Kryptic Minds have quickly established a foothold in the exploding global dubstep scene. As the flagship artists on Loefah DMZ’s label Swamp 81, their 12”s and album “One of Us” continue dubstep’s tradition for stone‐cold halfstep, flying against the dancefloor’s natural urges for momentum and release. Instead they unleash fearsome sub bass assaults that lead listeners into an edgy otherworld and have become staples of sets by halfstep innovator Youngsta as well as Loefah himself. Look out for upcoming releases across some of dubstep's leading labels including Tectonic, Disfigured Dubz plus their own Osiris Music UK.

The Kryptic Minds sound acknowledges the difference between edgy and too angry; that restraint often has more impact than chaotic release. This deft understanding of the tensions and contradictions buried within dubstep, and how you use them is played out yet further on their new album “One of Us,” due on Swamp 81. Whereas some albums try to cover many different moods, tempos and directions, the album zooms in on edgy 140bpm halfstep, forcing the listener into a headspace where perfectly placed details come into vivid focus, like the hyper‐real intensity of night adrenalin. Everything is taughtly coiled, as if priming the listener for a flight‐or‐fight reflex. The tension is barely unleashed throughout the album.

Kryptic Minds, then just Si, first gained prominence in the drum & bass scene when Andy C’s Ram subsidiary Frequency released ‘The Truth’, quickly earning itself anthem status. The track’s success brought Si new creative opportunities: it was at this time Si and Leon Switch began a long and fruitful production partnership. Together the duo released tracks on some of the drum & bass scene’s flagship labels, such as Penetration, Renegade Hardware, Tech Freak, Freak Recordings, and Goldie’s seminal Metalheadz. They also established their own label Defcom Records, on which they released 27 singles, including ‘Take the Pain Away’ and ‘No Escape,’ as well as their debut album, the drum & bass opus “Lost All Faith.” 2007 saw it declared by ATM magazine as one of the best drum & bass albums of all time. It was also at this time they set up new label Osiris Music uk, to release a wide range of music.

Inspired by Mala Digital Mystikz, Loefah and Burial 2008 saw the duo re‐discover their musical faith through dubstep, following the establishing of creative alliances with halfstep dons Youngsta and Loefah. One of Loefah’s classic’s “Root” received the Kryptic Minds remix treatment. They also played at one of dubstep’s most hallowed institutions, DMZ. The future’s dark, the future’s Kryptic Minds.

Same O first started buying records at 14 after seeing a clip of grandmaster DXT scratching in planet rock. Starting off playing hip hop it wasn’t long until Same O discovered dance music. In mid 2006 Same O was introduced to dubstep through his friend AC23, playing him radio shows from the likes of Skream and N-Type. At first it was the comical element of the way that they hosted the shows that got him listening but it wasn’t long until Same O became completely immersed in the genre.

Having Supported artists such as N-Type, Caspa, Distance, Scuba and

Garage Pressure Same O started Melbourne’s first Dubstep radio station

(Rollin Deep Radio) on Kiss FM. In 2009 Same O started with flow Dj Fooishbar one of Melbourne's most successful dubstep nights (Too Much!). Too Much has hosted the likes of Seven (UK), Gravious (UK), Lowqui (UK), Truth(NZ), L.D(UK), Coki (UK), Loefah (UK), MJ Cole (UK), Zed Bias (UK) and been involved in Melbourne's biggest Dubstep/Drum and Bass events BBA Bass Jump hosting the likes of Hatcha, Skream and Benga and Joker.

ohok, that was confusing for a bit bcus brunswick st is a really popular nightspot in melbourne as well

[delahaye]

ahh and possibly more confusing cos Kryptic Minds are flying down after our gig, to play Melb that same night hah

It's at the Merkat Cross I think, if you want to check out the Melb gig

[ChevChelios]

Yeah, bris always gets the day time gigs, godd thing or bad thing delahaye? I would imagine it has its pros and cons

Fuckin psyched for this too :D :D

[delahaye]

really? not sure what day gigs you're referring to sorry, this is the first one I've done in eight years of promoting gigs.

Im quite excited about our day event cos we have an awesome new venue, that is mostly outdoors. I was also excited about not having to stay in the venue till 5am too, but I kinda cancelled that out when I booked flights down with Kryptic Minds & Same o to go to the Melb one too hah

[ChevChelios]

maybe thats just me going of the random events I see, wasn't pinch during the day? and I see a few padington daytime things too

[delahaye]

pretty sure pinch was on a sunday night at Uber. but cant really remember cos I didnt make it

never heard of any dnb/dubstep gigs in Paddington either? except a very new one but thats at night

[ChevChelios]

well Im probably just wrong, but anywho

Kryptic Minds woot

[delahaye]

[ChevChelios]

cheers dude, get me gig in brissy, hahaha

[delahaye]

hah. There's a rather big line atm, I'm booked for most of 2010! Maybe hit up Dank Morass - the main dubstep crew but I think they're in same boat as me

I like Churn. Feeling that kinda style atm

[ChevChelios]

haha, dont worry Im not to into the whole dj thing at the moment seeing as I dont have a setup

Yeah the 2-step vibe has definately got me at the moment got a bunch of new tracks on that tip.... anyway nough of this off topic chatter, I added you on aim, hit me up if want some tracks anytime

[ChevChelios]

[delahaye]

Only one more sleep until brooding bass master Leon Switch from Kryptic Minds drops into Brisbane for the very first time! Don't forget this is at a new venue - Alloneword, a really cool and intimate semi-outdoor space between StepInn & Arena/Mystique.
