One of our favourite artist and producers One Records bossman Subb­-an releases his next EP ‘Vapour Trails’ on his resident producing label Crosstown Rebels. Its a a busy EP with 5 tracks in total with two originals ‘Vapour Trails’ and ‘Black Fire’ and remixes by Subb­-an and Matthew Herbert. Already gaining huge support from Skream on Radio 1.

Recently laying down an Essential mix for BBC Radio 1, Subb­-an finds himself back in the limelight. With huge success from his previous release on the Crosstown Rebels imprint with ‘Say No More’ featuring Azari & III’s Cedric. Subb­-an is set for an incredible release with ‘Vapour Trails’.

The title track itself is a solid, driving club track with that distinct Subb­an 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 Subb­an, 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 b­side ‘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. Released as digital only ‘Black Fire’ radiates a mysterious middle eastern ambience, with Whitney again providing the vocals over a more seductive track.
