Frenk, not Frank, Dublin (make sure you remember) delivers his second techno-dub-ish EP for Echo Ltd., following hot on the heels of last year’s ‘Echo Ltd. 007’ EP. Whereas the prior outing was comparatively muted, as faded in sound as a miragic lighthouse only periodically peeking its light-rotations through the mist (also check out the goes-without-saying contribution to the label in between that one and this, from titanic genre domineers SND and RTN), the likes of ‘Unseen World’, ‘The Creator’ and ‘Pharoah Dub’ here veer into snappier and increasingly minimally-techy territory, adding both extra immediacy and rhythm to the mix. The tracks prove the many-faced versatility of the dub techno sound, not to mention its ability to segue almost unnoticeably between 4×4 and halfstep patterns. As usual, Dublin leaves the best till last, with ‘4th Hour’ fleshing out the stab textures for a sliding, almost gut-scooping low-mid weight.
