Back catalogue: Minimal House/Tech House

Review: Subb-an's latest EP on the Sub Series imprint, titled Conscious, marks a dynamic return for the artist, displaying an evolution towards heightened musical and spiritual awareness. The EP features five equanimous club tracks, each distinct in its style and vision. 'Liquid Sun' kicks off the journey with a blend of deeper vibes and uplifting tones, offering a track that appeals to a wide audience. 'Contact' follows with its chord-driven, house-styled groove, adding a layer of depth to the EP's sonic landscape. Other highlights include, 'Wobble', which dives into a late-night deep groove, exuding a playful energy that keeps the dance floor moving. Throughout the EP, Subb-an demonstrates his ability at making intricate rhythms and hypnotic basslines, creating an immersive experience for listeners akin to his amazing DJing sets. From garage house to brooding acid, each track is carefully crafted to leave a great experience on the dancefloor.

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: 'Amnesia EP' by Subb An is an impressive showcase from this strong veteran producer, marking a strong entry into the minimal and tech house scene. On Side-1, 'Overdrive' starts with a peak-time groove that's both infectious and compelling, perfect for energising dance floors. Its catchy rhythms set a vibrant tone for the release. Following this, the title track, 'Amnesia', offers a melodic and flighty tech house vibe, weaving addictive hooks that invite listeners to lose themselves in its enchanting soundscape. Transitioning to Side-2, 'Hypnotise Me' dives deeper with an airy feel, characterised by a smooth, deep bassline that envelops the listener in a lush atmosphere. This track's polished production and groove set itself apart. Concluding the EP, Lux draws inspiration from Kraftwerk, presenting catchy rhythms infused with a modern twist that bridges classic influences with contemporary sounds. Overall, Amnesia EP highlights Subb An's potential as a noteworthy talent in the genre, delivering an engaging and cohesive collection.

Review: Following up that excellent Synchronicity on EP Phonica AM a couple of months back, hero of the Birmingham scene Subb An returns with more underground quality with this new one on the mighty 20/20 Vision. 'State Of Flow' is an emotive and breathtaking affair that's equal parts acid, progressive breaks and UK tech house with a seething Reese bassline lurking throughout that underpins angelic vocals. Over on the flip, remixes come from Adam Pits who takes you beyond the strobelights to reach for the lasers on his ravey take, followed by Armec's menacing experimental techno rework.
