EAST END DUBS Vinilo y CD

Review: East End Dubs launches a fresh imprint, Rhythm Traxx, dedicated to delivering timeless house music with an emphasis on raw energy and infectious grooves. The label's debut release, 'Caught In A Moment', is a testament to East End Dubs' deep understanding of the genre, a sonic journey that seamlessly blends hypnotic rhythms, soulful melodies, and undeniable dancefloor appeal. From the pulsating energy of the title track to the hypnotic depths of 'Phase Out', the EP is a masterclass in groove-driven house music. 'Nocturna' adds a touch of late-night atmosphere, while 'Floorwerk' delivers a raw and jacking rhythm, and 'Connect' closes the EP with a soulful and uplifting vibe. With its infectious energy and timeless sound, this release is poised to become a staple in the record bags of house music lovers worldwide.

Review: Having built his reputation via a regular series of self-released 12" singles, East End Dubs is now beginning to make guest appearances on selected labels. Here he pops up on the long established, vinyl-only INFUSE imprint with a trio of club-ready concoctions. On the A-side you'll find "Gradual Steps", a rolling and attractive fusion of bouncy deep house drums, spacey, Motor City chord, thickset bass and glitchy tech-house flourishes. As usual, there's a wonderful swing to his drums and the stretched-out chords are hazy and evocative. You'll find more of these sumptuous pads and chord progressions on similarly-minded flipside cut "Mind Traps", while closer "Enhance" is another deep house/tech-house hybrid blessed with a notably epic breakdown.
