Dublin Rain is a totally hypnotic and inspiring audio soundscape that offers a brilliant hit of euphoria whenever you need it. Dobie’s catalogue to date never fails to amaze.

Versatility is the sign of a truly great artist & this version of Without You is the perfect example of why. This track takes basically everything we’ve known about Dobie & turns it on its head, and I’ve never been more interested in him as an artist.
The introduction’s sparkling mix fades into violin strings, oscillating between high & low – hope & despair. The sweet simplicity calls back beginnings, a sort of naive angst present in any childhood (the elation to grow tinged with the fear of obscurity).
A welcome reminder of the classic Depeche Mode approach to music & performance, the likes of which aren’t found all that often in modern music. There’s a sense of seductive drama to it all, the essence of which Dobie has captured pretty perfectly.
Stunning. The louder you listen, the more profound & all-encompassing the effect becomes. Three minutes of musical heaven for those who appreciate & love the art of electronic musicianship.
The ambiance is eclectic & interesting, the pace & brightness of the track’s rhythm drives its way into your consciousness from the first few moments.
There’s passion & power to it, bringing the production alive, showcasing variety & creative freedom as well us undeniable precision & skill.
