Taxi Dub – Temple Of Sound 12

We pay a fresh pilgrims’ visit to UK label Temple Of Sound, with a new animal offering in dub techno and minimal. Sub Basics has been going since 2014 and is eager to keep his sound authentic, echoing a well-respected noughties UK tech sound on ‘Taxi Dub’ and ‘Polytope’ to start with: slim stereo chords, and drum transients shaped down to the snappiest excusable decay, no extra woolliness. ‘Latch On’ and ‘Holographic’ wind back the clock to primer instincts, adding bearskin drums, popcorn melodies and bare, tapping kicks.
