What I Do Subb-an

The emerging talent of Subb-an is ushered into the Culprit fold for the label’s eleventh release. An extended member of the Culprit clan in spirit and through his associations with Hot Natured and Matt Tolfrey's Leftroom, the young lad from Birmingham clearly shares, much like his UK brother-in-arms Jamie Jones, Culprit's quintessential moody funk-infused sensibility. His debut EP for Culprit, ‘What I Do’ is a statement of intent for a man with a definite interest in exploring the soulful and playful edges of house and techno. ‘What I Do’ has been slaying discerning dancefloors for months, blending strong Chicago house roots with the polished warmth that LA-based Culprit has come to embody, but never forgetting darker clubbier atmospherics. Subb-an first broke through in 2008, with a residency at his hometown’s clubbing bastion, Below, and he’s been increasingly active on the studio front in the last two years, following his initial releases on Immigrant and Leftroom with a growing catalog of recordings and remixes for Bpitch Control, Hypercolour, Mothership, Trapez Ltd, and 2020 Vision Recordings, as well as his own One Records, a collaboration with Below founder Adam Shelton. Clearly a young man on the rise at age 24 (much like young man responsible for the label's current release - M A N I K, 25) Subb-an already possesses a clarity of intent and style that belies his youth, and makes his decision to seek out and create music for Culprit all the more exciting.
