Linkwood Family - Miles Away (Intrusion Dubs)

Great to see some dub techno being released with color, warmth, and personality. For this 12 inch Hitchell employs the classic echospace, deepchord, intrusion styled dub techno foundation that has been around since the 90's but has been steadily gaining a cult-like popularity in the realm of obsessive techno nerds. Hitchell diverges from the cookie cutter dub template when he stacks a very emotive guitar pluck type lead, some awfully catchy bongo loops, and a distant saxophone on top. The result is a very warm and genuine release that will absolutely stand the test of time. If I could recommend a release to give to a listener who is just beginning to explore the world of dub techno, this would be it.
