118 BPM Review: It's heartening to hear that Detroit producer Deason is releasing music again, as anyone who owned a copy of his killer Pyskofuk releases or his benchmark "The Shit" will agree. Elements starts up where previous Deason releases have left off, offering a club-friendly yet deep and musical version of techno and house. "Lithium" and "Iron" are the most successful exponents of this approach: in the case of the former glacial synths unfold over a rolling, dubby rhythm, while the latter sees Deason add some variety as a pulsing groove makes way for rave whistles amid the glistening synth textures. Of course, that only tells part of Deason's story and the unraveling textures of "Dubnium" and the lovely offbeats and swirling melodies of "Indium" show that he is also an ambient producer par excellence.
