After the huge success of ‘Say No More’ featuring Azari & III’s Cedric at the beginning of the year, Birmingham bred Subb-an is back on board Crosstown Rebels to deliver yet another incredible release. ‘Vapour Trails’ is a solid, driving club track with that distinct Subb-an sound featuring highly captivating vocals from Amsterdam’s The Million Plan. Also directed straight at the dancefloor with a deep hypnotic breakdown, the ‘Terrace Dub’ perfectly fits into the series of ‘Terrace’ remixes the talented producer has released lately. Specifically requested as remixer by Subb-an, legend Matthew Herbert delivers a completely new musical adaptation with fantastic use of the vocal that plays out as the track constantly evolves. On the b-side ‘Oasis’ leads with swinging grooves, progressing into prominent hats, a unique stabbing bassline and a trippy vocal from Whitney Fierce formerly of Hercules & Love Affair.

Now living in Berlin, Subb-an is a DJ, producer and one of the most exciting new British live acts of recent years due to his dedication and hard work. His prodigious studio talents have seen him release on Spectral, Crosstown Rebels, Visionquest and Cocoon. He also has another release forthcoming on his own One Records, now in its fifth year, which he co-runs with Adam Shelton. Last year he joined the Crosstown Rebels crew on the 10 Years world tour playing multiple dates. This summer has seen him take his new live show on the road appearing at the likes of Fabric, Warehouse Project in Manchester, Panorama Bar and Glastonbury where he closed the Genisys stage.

Willem de Bruin is one half of the The Million Plan whose vocals feature on the release. They are a duo from Amsterdam who are working on their first EP in electronic music. Musical genius Matthew Herbert ignores all boundaries. Playing the likes of British Sound Library for his Boiler Room show, he also recently took up residence with his band in a special studio in the carpentry of the deutsche opera Berlin to compose, record and mix an album from scratch in a week. A classically trained vocalist and DJ in her own right, Whitney Fierce is a tour DJ for New Order alongside DJing for the likes Dior in Paris, Nylon in New York and the Mayor in LA.

Definition:Music welcomes Matt Fear to the catalogue with his gritty Peace & Night EP featuring 3 originals and a Third Son remix. Peace & Night represents not only Matt’s debut on Definition, but also a new direction for the label, exploring a darker and more melodic side of House music. 

First up is ‘Disturbing the Peace’, a track full off dirty basslines and grime-y vocals laid out in a brilliantly dark ambiance made just for the late night dance floor. ‘The Reality of It’ continues the energy with a deep bass line under crisp and full percussion. The various synth elements work together to create a thick tension throughout the track, leaving us completely ready for ‘’Night Games’, a track with a similar vibe all wrapped up in a lush and funky groove, rife with Acid influences. Rounding off the EP, Third Son brings thick, sharp saw pads to his remix of ‘Disturbing the Peace’ to give it another shot of energy, creating a peak time track ready for the floor.

Rest of the EP previews will be uploaded this week...

After her incredible Changes EP on Crosstown Rebels earlier this year, new lady of house Francesca Lombardo continues to impress this time through the Rebellion arm of the enterprise with her Eyes of Nature EP.

‘Eyes’ is first up and opens with a slick percussive grove characterised by lots of organic elements coalescing to paint a mesmerising, ritualistic picture. Bells, shakers and cymbals rattle and echo while deep haunting synths climb and fall to create a real sense of drama. Francesca utilises her vocal training to devastating effect intermittently throughout the track, panning her own heavily FX'd vocals across the mix further adding to the suspense.

On the flip and Julien Riachi’s vocal and a tabla drum riff set the tone on ‘Wander and Wonder’ before an ever returning woodblock melody signals the arrival of a killer baseline which takes the track straight to the dance floor. Exquisite production skills ensure that sonically and elementally the track is constantly going somewhere, whilst Lombardo's classically trained ear ensures that she can effortlessly make perfect musical sense of all the different parts within her tracks.

With Halloween just around the corner, this release will definitely be heard at a few spooky soirees across the globe...
