Fluxion — Vibrant Forms (TYPE117), remastered edition, entire album on vinyl for the first time
- When
- Oct 2013
This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.
Boomkat, which stocked the label, still lists this record, filed under Basic Channel / Dub Techno.
Kostas Soublis' productions under the Fluxion moniker helped define legendary Berlin imprint Chain Reaction, and with 1999's Vibrant Forms, the Greek producer released a milestone in the dub techno genre. Out of press for far too long, this new edition of Vibrant Forms has been remastered and will finally see the entire album released on vinyl for the first time. The most shocking thing hearing it almost fifteen years after its original release however is how little it has dated. This is the way dub techno should sound — don't accept any imitations, Vibrant Forms is the real thing.
Made at Type.
Earlier in the catalogue: Work Death — Phone About To Ring TYPE116. Later in the catalogue: Pye Corner Audio — The Black Mill Tapes Volumes 3&4 TYPE118.
