Si und Leon aka KRYPTIC MINDS haben sich mit ihren qualitativ hochwertigen Sounds in nur kurzer Zeit einen festen Namen in der internationalen Dubstepszene gemacht. Ein Klang, der unverwechselbar zwischen nachdenklicher, düsterer Traumwelt und aggressivem Roboterkrieg oszilliert. Ihr Album “One Of Us” setzt die ursprüngliche Idee von Dubstep derart brillant um, dass sie es auf Loafahs großem Label “Swamp81″ bis an die Spitze geschafft haben. Entgegen des dancefloor-hypes, immer schneller, härter, lauter sein zu müssen, zeigen KRYPTIC MINDS, dass es auch anders geht! Sie überzeugen durch intelligente, verspielte Arrangements mit viel Tiefe und nehmen einen mit auf eine Reise voller Urgewalt und Überraschungen z.B. SIX DEGREES. Neben weiteren Veröffentlichungen unter OSIRIS MUSIC UK und TECTONIC RECORDINGS brennen sich tunes wie “Can’t Sleep” (BLACK BOX) schon beim ersten Mal hören in’s Gehirn. (true words by ROCCO)

“Kryptic Minds step into 2011 with news of fresh album in the works, following on from their massive 2009 dubstep debut “One Of Us.” Now firmly entrenched within the ever-evolving 140bpm bass music scene, Si and Leon have worked closely with the likes of Youngsta and Loefah and built a reputation for deep and heavy, dancefloor-shaking steppers. The duo have never been limited by either capability or vision however and, on their latest longplayer “Can’t Sleep,” add a new widescreen dimension to the original dubstep template. Look out for the album on Black Box this April with an accompanying album tour now booking.
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.”
