After a string of 12”s on a variety of labels including her own co-run (now defunct) Immigrant/Imminent Recordings and an astonishing single on Planet Mu in late 2009, this double-A of ‘Picture / Spectrums’ is Subeena’s debut release on her own Opit Records label. Subeena or Sabina Plamenova is a 24-year old producer from Italy via Germany, now living in London, with some Bulgarian roots thrown in for good measure. ‘Picture’ opens with a thunderously warm cyber-harpsichord, a liquid spume materialising over a dubscape of click-clack snap percussion as a sequenced bubble bass comes riding in, pinning dancing feet to the floor. Then the melodies come in. Everything Subeena touches is dosed in melody - the bass lines, the rhythms but most of all in the wide-eyed blissed out synth lines. Think early Orbital, ambient Aphex and countless hidden raves, living in the moment paradoxically inside and outside of musical heritage - sit above it and you can discern influences, in the moment it’s new born. ‘Spectrums’ pushes things forward several galaxies by summoning up bizarre feelings of monastic rave! After a brief abstract fade-in, it literally explodes with a Bach-like rushing meandering mainline over a 4/4 foundation before the beats start falling over themselves and what sounds like a gaggle of monks chanting from deep within a hard drive. What Subeena does that is already so special is to balance this sophistication of composition with the aforementioned naivety of atmosphere. This is a genuinely warm enveloping music that restlessly unfolds and refolds itself without sacrificing the fundamental love of the dancefloor moment. So much seems to take place that it’s hard to grasp that both tunes weigh in at the fourminute mark.
