Review: Mark Stewart rose to prominence when dub techno enjoyed a resurgence a few years back, but to cast him as merely a by-product of this phenomenon is erroneous. Prior to his Warehouse Session series on Modern Love, Stewart had released an excellent electronic album, "Neurofibro" and the excellent deep techno "Chicago". While the title track sees Stewart deliver an exemplary dubby groove, filled with ponderous chords and a gradually morphing bassline, it's "Round & Round" that's of most interest. Escaping the joys of the echo chamber, the rhythm is stripped back and jacking, with a searing acid line recreating the primal urges of late 80s Chicago producers.
