Adam Shelton/Subb-an feat Isis Salam 'Only Now/Self Control' (One Records)
One Records head honchos Adam Shelton and Subb-an team up on this new split release, with both ‘Only Now’ and ‘Self Control’ featuring vocals from Isis Salam (who previously worked with Subb-an for a release on Beste Freunde). First up, Adam delivers a Roland 808 drum workout which, when coupled with Salam’s haunting refrain, makes for a late-night acid attack. Subb-an’s sultry house contribution, meanwhile, sounds like Derrick Carter doing an all-nighter with its raunchy vocal bouncing on top of a staunch beat.
