SUBB AN Vinilo y CD

Review: UK mainstay Subb-An makes a welcome return with this fresh new EP on Aesthetic. It finds him in great form with opener 'Seeing Colours' heading off down a nice liquid minimal route with crisp tech drums and twinkling synths up top to bring the magic. On the flip side is 'Plants', a rather serene and sublime cut with more rolling drums and plenty of deft synth designs that bring a certain celestial charm to the fizzing leads. Snad's remix then shuts things down with a more driving sense of tech house rhythm to complete a tasteful EP of heady sounds.

Review: Subb-an returns with a dynamic EP on the Sub Series imprint, which follows up his successful debut release on the same label, and hears an expansion outwards into heightened musico-conscious states, for an ultimately enlightened Dharmic subject matter (the EP is 'Conscious', after all). Packed with four equanimous, solid club tracks, ranging from garage house to brooding acid, the EP flaunts Subb-an's distinct style and vision, moving through intricate rhythms to hypnotic basslines, each track carefully crafted to create an stabbing, immersive experience.
