He may only be in his mid-20s, but Ashique Subhan's latest release makes him sound like he has been involved with house music for decades. Featuring Beckford on vocals, "Lover's Night" is a deep, resonating track in the classic Knuckles/Red Zone vein, at the heart of which there is a narrative about seduction. While Beckford's resonating tones dominate the original version, the dub version will be of more interest to DJs. There, Subb-An dispenses with the vocalist's services and the driving, dubby beats, jacking, swinging rhythm and spine-tingling house chords prevail. In a scene that centres on disposable music, "Lover's Night" is destined to endure for years to come.
