Leeds based producer Jack Sparrow is somewhat of a newcomer to the UK dubstep scene but he has swiftly managed to gain the respect of many of its pioneers and main players. Sparrow's carefully honed sound really marks him out from the rest as he emerges with his stunning and evocative debut album Circaidian on Pinch's Tectonic imprint. Sparrow's moody, nocturnal atmospherics rise and fall, joining the dots between blissed out entree "Loveless", tense, sub heavy venture "The Chase (VIP)" and murky jungle referencing riddim "Relapse". The restless pulsating explorative nature of "Salvation" is mellowed out by the cavernous but calming "Subterranean" later on in the cycle. "Exit" marks the end of the cycle, but paradoxically, also the beginning; the beginning of something very special for Jack Sparrow.
