Teng Records returns this May with its sixth release, entitled, 'Take It Back', by
British producerNubian Mindz, comprising three original cuts of raw, gritty deepness.
Nubian Mindz aka Colin Lindo, has produced a wide array of sounds for the likes of
Rush Hour, Delsin andArchive since the late 90's, delivering broken-beat, drum and
bass, electronica, house and techno tracks, always of uncompromising quality. Here
Lindo joins Nick Woolfson's fledgling Teng imprint, alongside the likesof Neville
Watson and Matthias Vogt.
The release kicks off with 'Let Me Up', embracing a hooky, chord-driven vibe, with a
dusty piano stab, subbybass tones and dubbed out synth hits driving the melodic
movement. While splashy hi-hats, rolling drums andsampled vocal lines build the
weighty foundation. The groove maintains its loopy feel throughout the tracks sixand
half minute duration, with subtle evolvements keeping things enticing. Next up is
'Take It Back', whichsees Lindo take things deeper, with beautiful, warbling Rhodes
melodies, off-kilter crunchy drums and hipitched, rhythm and blues style vocal lines,
resulting in something unique and forward thinking.
Flipping over to the b-side we have 'Only Lover', a ten-minute, heady house record
that slowly blooms withorganic drums, cosseting pad lines and a profound depth
instilled in the depths of the background, achievedthrough swirling electronic tones,
drawn out delays on vocal snippets and bursts of reverb on the percussiveelements.
The track develops to a focal point, which sees things stripped back to a raw drum
and bassfocused state to tail out the rest of the track.
