From Dub Till Dawn

He’s only twenty-five but German producer Terry Lee Brown Jnr. is about to release his third artist album and has already been dubbed ‘God’ by none other than original house producer Marshall Jefferson. While Jefferson’s praise is exaggerated, Brown is nonetheless skillfully adept in the art of making deep, swoonsome house music and ‘Dub Till Dawn’ has more than its fair share of funky, chunky arrangements. At the same time, Terry has realized that an album’s worth of deep, lush house would not only sound dull but would also be a waste of his obvious talent. Happily, ‘Dub Till Dawn’ is filled with enough spins on the house template, witness the jazzy yet tuff percussive groove of ‘Trust’, the acid flecked ‘Downtown Life’, mellow breaks on ‘East To West’, the sparser, Basic Channel influenced title track and the dub tinged ‘Muffin’. Never lapsing into the noodle territory, ‘Dub’ embraces all that’s great and groovy about house music.
