This Friday’s FACT mix comes from Sabina ‘Subeena’ Plamenova.

Subeena’s been releasing music for several years on her own Immigrant Recordings label, and caught FACT’s ear on the merit of her melodic, shimmering sound that often recalls Detroit house and Selected Ambient Works-era Aphex Twin before it did the dubstep producers she found herself grouped in with.

Her production reached new heights twice in 2009; first with the gorgeous ‘Bokst’, and then with her first 12” for veteran electronic label Planet Mu which paired space station R’n’B (‘Solidify’) with gently melodic Dial style house (‘Analyse’). Let’s face it, Subeena’s only going to get better and the formation of her new label, Opit, is only going to help, so if ever there was a time to get this extremely talented individual on the FACT mix, it’s now.

It’s a bit of a tasty mix to boot – tracks are mixed deep, and played in ways you wouldn’t expect (check Hot City’s pumping house anthem ‘No More’ used as an under-the-surface bubbler rather than played for the drop like usual). New material from Hyetal, Sbtrkt, Appleblim and of course, Subeena features.

Tracklist and interview over the page.
