Product Description
Chab is often known as the Global Underground producer, with nothing less than six appearances from NuBreed (Anthony Pappa) to Prototype (Seb Fontaine), to the regular GU series (Danny Howells, Steve Lawler, Deep Dish, Satoshi Tomiie). After several successful releases, a fruitful collaboration with DJ Nukem, a respected label, side projects (Moogwai on Platipus), and tons of remixes (Nelly Furtado, Cevin Fisher) for major and indie labels (Virgin, EMI, Ministry of Sound, Dreamworks, and Yoshitoshi), Chab comes into his own with Dub, Edits, Whisky, Coke.

5 out of 5 stars Rock Your Socks Off!!!.......2006-11-26

This CD is so good & complete it's not even funny. I don't know where the first reviewer gets off giving this a poor review. From start to finish this CD is absolutely superb. Unlike most other dance albums out there, the CD isn't filled with a bunch of filler garbage, pure quality music from start to finish. There are few other albums out there as superb. Other albums I'd compare this one to are "Steve Porter - Home Grown", "Miika Kuisma - Inwardgaze", & "Soulwax - Nite Versions". Although the sounds for all these albums differ, the quality is the same on all. Check out this album & you won't be disapointed.

"Dub, Edits and Whisky-Coke" is amazing; "Closer To Me," especially, is singularly seductive. Listen and be awed.

2 out of 5 stars Chab should stick to the dance floor........2005-04-18

I hate to say this, but I kind of had a feeling this might happen. I have loved Chab's production work for some time now after hearing his remix of Kamaya Painters "Wasteland", he has a great affinity for creating massive dance floor beats. Among his peers who have attempted to "cross over" from the dance floor to the home stereo, only a few have actually been able to make it work. Unfortunately "Dub Edits Whiskey Coke" isn't one of those few. Most of these tracks are far too simple and poorly constructed, I was left feeling like these tracks were just blueprints to a bigger idea that never really came through... "You and Me", "Sunrise" and "Lover" I found especially boring and easily disposable. "Monster" is by far the worst cut on the album though, as Chab and JD Davis try to construct a pop rock oriented song that leaves you wondering what exactly was going through their heads. It could have been a stand out track, if more thought had been put into the production and thicker sounds and drums were added into the piece. "Closer To Me" is the best track on this album, this is the Chab I know and love here. A great simple beat complemented by fresh elements and a classic twist as the track seems to pay homage to "Bille Jean". The vocals are on point and not trite and have a catchy element that plants the groove of the song in your head for days. "Five" isn't bad either, but its not spectacular, it feels like Chab went into the sessions for Timo Maas's "Loud" album and vacuumed up all the cut out scraps and pieced this track together.

I give Chab respect for trying, few DJs/Producers of this kind of music have the balls to be this ambitious, but in the end this whole album feels empty and rushed. I expected Chab to shake the progressive house formula up and come out with something mind blowing instead of insulting my intelligence with this album. I only wish Chab could have taken more time and worked with a few other producers to help him tackle the dreaded "Dance Music DJ's Artist Album".

Don't worry Chab, I'll still buy your 12"s
