Subdue, one of the UK’s finest rising talents, has returned to Riddim Records with some his most elegant work to date. With his unique and stylistic approach to Drum & Bass, ‘Dusk’, a new four track EP, perpetuates the sound that the crew at Riddim hold so dear. Fusing tech-y rollers, glitchy beats, deep atmospherics and newfangled vocals.
The title track, ‘Dusk’, is our first stop and our premiere today. Progressive euphoria with both incredible warmth and a delicate sound, deep bass and hypnotic drums bring the vibes.
‘When I’m Alone’ hangs a sharp left into a dark and tech-y roller with seriously eerie undertones. Subdue goes even deeper with the glitchy ‘Reality’. A murky stepper that combines a raunchy lead synth and powerful sub.
Finally, ‘Afraid of You’ is the warm glow ending the tunnel, featuring the rich vocals of ES. Kay, one of Riddim’s newest signings. A signature ballad to take us home.
He’s already had a string of releases so far this year on Skankandbass, Context Audio, The Dreamers Recordings. He has spent a lot of time developing his own take on the deeper side of Drum & Bass. As a result he has been getting that moodiness in his tracks spot on.
It’s been nearly a year since Subdue’s last Riddim Records feature ‘Who Am I‘ on their VA album in early 2020. He’s now returned home, and what a return it is!
