PDub & The M Vibrator - Take Time EP

Written by Youri Jozee

Athens based PDub and The M Vibrator set things ablaze with a fresh dub influenced techno release on the Permanent Damage label.






Dubby techno may be big but actual high quality gems are hard to find amidst the dozens of crappy releases we're flooded with these days. However, The Take Time EP by PDub & The M Vibrator is one of the more exciting releases in the genre, elegantly fusing minimal-ish tech-house to dubby yet wallshaking elements. The EP starts off with 'Take Lime', a drum-driven tech-house tune with subtle Balearic bits and countless loopy layers of shakers, snares, hi-hats and bass. 'Can't' is a much darker and moodier affair, with a long intro building up to a very minimal but exciting sequence marked by a variety of dirty bass fx. 'Tsirimintzoulo' sees the duo taking a housier direction with a fuse of heavy bass, vivid drum programming and a warm overall vibe, while the rumbling monotone grooves and stabby keys on 'Sprouts' deliver a genuine club rocker with lots of exciting twists.

The Take Time EP is a chunky collection of deep down and dirty dub techno tunes fueled by tech-house drums and roaring basslines. Recommended for fans of looped techno and minimal-induced house.
