The latest man to step up to the Definition:Music mantle is German producer Ben Mono. The sometime Compost, Exploited, Stil Vor Talent and Permanent Vacation man is among the most renowned such producers to grace the contemporary house field, and on The Dub Feel EP, he emphatically reminds us exactly why this continues to be the case.
It's the title track that brings the EP to life. Powerful, frantic and bulging with charismatic appeal, it magnificently walks a tightrope that placed between peak-time and discerning flavours. Full of musical charm and blissful melodies alike, it's the sort of battle-weapon that'll spring any dancefloor into life.
On the remix front, Urulu serves up a potent reminder of his own talents courtesy of his 'Anxiety' mix. Unlike the original, it's rolled out at a more gentle pace, and while the throbbing kicks pack more punch than a heavyweight boxer, it's still an altogether different proposition. The whimsical percussion and the canny drums put paid to that fact, while the majestic chords combine to bring you to a place that's teaming with endless fantasies. Mono yes, but monotone? Not on Definition:Music's watch.
