Review: Quality dubwise sentiments abound by Shaun Reeves on this EP for Visionquest following collaborative EPs with DJ Wild and Giuseppe Tuccillo. For this last solo outing of the year Reeves throws down four quality warehouse techno numbers that go deep and atmospheric all the while pinned down by solid 909 drums and hats. Touches of '90s rave influences subtly weave their way into "Man & His Symbols" alongside a spoken word sample of 'splendid achievement'. It's the stabs, slashes and punches of dub chords across the record though that really set the scene in a EP that will appeal to lovers of a Berlin-Detroit techno connection. Groovy bassline dub centralises itself in "Phantasm" with lighter and more melodic elements weaving their way through "Late Night In The Cut", with Reeves going large on "Louden". Word.
