Review:
With releases on seminal dub techno imprints Chain Reaction and Echocord, Fluxion has long found himself entrenched within techno's dubbier folklore. Here Konstantinos Soublis presents a three track sampler of his forthcoming Traces LP, with the added bonus of Thomas Fehlmann's remix of "Desert Night". Fluxion enlists the teachings of the late Dennis Brown in "No Man Is An Island", pitching traditional dub reggae elements alongside dub techno sensibilities. The Chain Reaction stalwart then showcases his production prowess by eloquently symphonising the dubby and atmospheric mannerisms of "Desert Night" with an uber deep house groove, quite possibly sending Sven Weisemann scampering for his notebooks in the process. Throbbing wooden drums add weight to "Butiama" as chord stabs and synthesised horns shots rest upon subtle textures, lightly deepened by breathy pads and reverberating hats, proving once again that Echocord's elders have still got it.
