Review: Some would say that Nixon's material, which has predominantly come out through the Punks label, is heavily influenced by the pirate radio culture of the nineties and early 2000s. We'd agree with that, but it goes much further than mere concoctions of bass and drums. For instance, a track like the present "Somewhere Shadows" delves into many different pockets of electronic music, and the result is something mystical, far-reaching and utterly beautiful. Similarly, "Equipped Future", which samples Optical's original sample on "To Shape The Future", uses the bases of old-school d&b to paint a much border, more immersive picture, and "Gods Chor" offers a gorgeous, open world of breaks and dreamy pads. "Beings Below" is the perfect closing tune, a deep and mesmerizing sonic affair that would have truly rocked the place back in the Blue Note days. TIP!
