Konstantinos Soublis has been releasing records as Fluxion since 1998 when his debut appeared on Chain Reaction. Things slowed down after six releases on the label then after 2004 came a five year hiatus until he finally re-emerged to show the new-wave of dub techno artists how it's done…. So I'm currently listening to Fluxion's 'Perfused' and really enjoying it. The production techniques sound cleaner and more digital based than the early material but the overall feeling and warmth is the same… That tireless groove and sense of infinite space with a huge sense of depth. All his trademarks are here but it also feels like he's grown as an artist and is certainly introducing new ideas and feelings into the mix. I guess to a lot of people this style sounds the same, which I suppose overall it kind of does, but it's the subtleties and nuances, the details that gradually reveal themselves, combined with that hypnotic groove that really do it for me. CD only on Echocord and includes the 'Elation' and 'Inductance' tracks that appeared on 12" last year. Sublime stuff for fans of Maurizio, Rod Modell etc. Oh yeah I'm totally feeling the 'Inflection' track…

* Echocord is very proud to release the full length album “Perfused” by Flux
* This is the 5th album by Fluxion who has produced more than a decade of music since the first Chain Reaction release
in 1998, through releases on Basic Channel and Maurizio labels.
* On this new album "Perfused", as the title implies, the sounds are liquid. Bending, turning, blending, streaming, forming
and at the end grooving in a unique way. Moving into the future with steady dub beats.
* The opening "Horizons",creates a warm slow dub feeling and as it moves through time and space, it creates music
phrases that are never repeating. unveiling a breath of fresh sounds. "Waves" is a pulsating dub atmospheric dance
track. Dub questions & answers. "Tantalizer", a dried out track, mechanical, organical. "Inflection", a cyclic dub minimal
track. "Wabbler", a live track recorded in one take, a journey back to the influences of dub. "Elation", a track full of
energy. Slowly building up, in the fluxion way, always revealing some new stream of sound that comes to surface. A
strong dance track, that moves the listeners both body and mind. "Fluctuations", slow building up, atmospheric minimal
track, "Inductance" atmospheric sound patterns slowly combined, creating an emotional futuristic track. "Perfuse" is a
pulsating slow dub track. The sound patterns emerge steadily, to form one stream. One organic movement.
