PREMIERE: Fluxion - Slide [Echocord Records]

What is it about dub techno that makes us love it every time we hear those syncopated, heavily reverberated and delayed sounds? Dub makes it easy to get lost in one's own thoughts; to explore the cavernous recesses of one's mind; to get lost and to let go.  And thus most dub productions err on the side of dark echo-y sounds devoid of melody, light and levity.  Well, Fluxion's Slide, released on one of the premier dub labels, Echochord, breaks that mold by anchoring the track in dub but infusing it with melodic elements, and a sense of fun and groove.  A groovy dub? or a dubby groove? Either way, the track makes it easy to get lost inside oneself, but you'll more likely find yourself tapping your foot than chasing the echo.
