Dub Track by Rob Hes, Steve Slight
Sometimes you make two tracks that are worlds apart but work so well side by side as a single release. Such is the case with 'Dub Track' and 'Combustion' from Rob Hes and Steve Slight.
New to the label but impeccably well-versed in the game, the Dutch/Belgian friends have collaborated on Sudbeat and Selador in the past. Now they make their debut on Joris Voorn's Spectrum with two deliciously contrasting late night missives.
'Dub Track' takes us back to the early 2000s with its stripped back charm. Think DC10 and 6am sets by Sascha Dive or Silicone Soul; a bulldozer full of eerie tension made solely of kicks, subs and hypnotic synth washes.
'Combustion' meanwhile provides the ultimate flip. Masterful in its pace and sense of theatre, maximal in its high voltage pay-off, this one powers into life in a whole new way after the breakdown. A real level-booster of a track that lives up to its engine-like name, this will raise roofs, arenas and the stars in the open skies this festival season.
Worlds apart but the same beautiful universe. Rob Hes and Steve Slight have smashed an exceptional Spectrum debut right here.
