Turnin' Things Up EP by Rob Pearson

Rob Pearson has been deeply involved in the house scene for over 25 years. In that time, he has played all over the world and landed on legendary labels like Fabric, Toolroom, and Wiggle. 2025 has been as busy as ever with successful reissues of Rob & Si’s "One Up/Zebraz" followed by the Robin Ball collaboration "Don’t Put Up Wid Dat" and "The Right Vibes," plus new music on sister label Drugsex Recordings and Ste Roberts’s influential Private Parts. Together, the four tracks on this latest EP showcase his ability to balance underground grit with fresh and refined production.

The EP kicks off with "Turnin' Things Up," where classic tech house bass drops meet precise, modern production. Rolling subs and tight drums create a groove that's both nostalgic and razor-sharp. Chopped vocal samples ask, "Exactly what do you do?" as Rob cranks the energy all the way up to 11.

Next, "Tarantula Bites" takes a darker turn. Inspired by a surreal Spanish holiday, where Rob was scooping tarantulas out of a pool, the track drips with eerie warehouse vibes and haunting textures. It's a moody, atmospheric journey that feels both natural and unnerving.

"Absorb The Vibration" shifts gears with a slightly reduced tempo and a stripped-back approach. A hypnotic bassline and meticulous drum programming lock you in, while warped FX swirl around a dense, sub-heavy low end. This track is all about tension and release, crafted for heads-down moments on the dancefloor.

Closing the EP, "The Way You Do It" is a playful and deep, tech-infused track. A bouncy bassline and crisp percussion are laced with Rob's trademark warped sounds and vocal chops, creating an unpredictable but groove-driven vibe. It's a late-night weapon built for peak-time sessions.
