Echocord proudly releases the fifth full length album by Greece's Fluxion. There's been more than a decade of music since the first 1998 Chain Reaction release by the artist, along with countless artists such as Maurizio and Basic Channel setting the groundwork for what is currently called "dub techno" -- music that crawls under your skin, with no firecrackers or stunts. Fluxion has been as true to his principles as other artists from that era. On 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. Proposing to the listener not only to listen to new ways of producing music and sound, but also to open up their ways of listening. The opening "Horizons" creates a warm, slow dub feeling and as it moves through time and space, it creates musical phrases that unveil a breadth of fresh sounds. "Waves" is a pulsating, dub, atmospheric dance track. "Tantalizer" is a dried-out track -- mechanical, organic, while "Inflection" is a cyclic, minimal dub track. "Wabbler" is a live track recorded in one take -- a journey back to the influences of dub. "Elation" is a strong dance track full of energy that slowly builds up in the Fluxion way, always revealing some new stream of sound that comes to the surface. "Fluctuations" is a slow-building, atmospheric minimal track, while on "Inductance," atmospheric sound patterns slowly combine, creating an emotional, futuristic track. Finally, "Perfuse" is a pulsating, slow dub track. The sound patterns emerge steadily, to form one stream. One organic movement, where every part complements the other.
