ianti You Are Here is a powerful vibe, like being struck with a divine blessing from above or attending some dark funeral rite, the choirs are heavenly. Favorite track: You Are Here.

about

Following on from 2019’s “01”, Dive Reflex Service returns to Limbo Tapes with a 12 more signature visions. If you were spellbound by the debut LP, then prepare for a full bewitching as DRS presses on into new and more intense territory.

Where “01” reflected a pastime of digging in 70s vinyl, here on “02” there is more evident borrowing from the club music of the last 25 years. Observing and exploring everything but the drop. Helping to answer the question: How do crucial scene-setting features of sound system music behave when the drums have left the main room?.

Elsewhere, “Feed Me Snow”, “Old School Poltergeist” and “Brilliant Colours” speak through another inherently Dive Reflex voice. Fragile, haunted and profound piano phrases that tell of older dustier truths. Their inward looking sincerity is typical of “02” and confides a sensitive cautionary awareness of the supernatural.

Each layer seems to have a living and ceremonial presence, as if the pieces have been plucked from nature and entranced. Vocals appear like subtly abstract members of the chorus, often as if heard from another room. While analogue imperfections shift and buckle around familiar sub bass frequencies, reminding us at every turn that this music has its tap root firmly in sound system healing.

More than ever Dive Reflex Service sounds like an ensemble, brandishing a personalised palette with consistent tone and texture. Although, often what sounds performed is sampled, and what sounds sampled is performed. Tape recorders reaching into the past, present and future recording and collecting.

It doesn’t sit quite right to describe this as an ambient release, because there’s too much tension, yearning and rhythmic low end for that. Imagine the sound you hear as you walk away from the club. The echoes of the distant bass catching a strong breeze, the muddled memories of the drums merging with more sedate, pensive late night headphone selections, and you're just entering the realm of Dive Reflex Service 02.
