Dub techno doesn’t always hit the spot, and to the untrained ear can seem to be the easy option. In the hands of a virtuoso however, it can elicit hitherto unknown pleasures. Steve O’Sullivan has been at the coalface longer than most and has honed his craft to perfection, so any release of his deserves your attention. This is the first release on a new label named after an area on Bali famous for its temples, monikertastic! ‘Go With The Flow’ and ‘Two Foot Terrorist’ are tracks of uptempo, chasmic excellence. Both have energy and depth to spare, they also both feel very clean and pill friendly. Both ‘Bubble Up’ and ‘Straight To The Back’ are two sides of the same coin; the latter bringing the former up to speed by deploying an energetic pattern of beats to support ominous, razor sharp dub stabs. This is very good indeed and an object lesson in how to speak within more than one dimension using the language of spatial manipulation.
