With previous releases on Delusions of Grandeur, Voyeurythm and more, UK producer Ben Sun delivers a gorgeous blend of deep textures that hearken back to the golden era of NY and Chicago with his ‘Distant Messenger EP’ on Razor-N-Tape.

The A-side, ‘Transmission’ has all the vibey goodness of an early Strictly Rhythm record, while ‘Sable Sun’ scuba dives into Larry Heard territory with lush pad swells and squelching acid lines. On the flip, the emotive motion of ‘Tremors’ builds through hypnotic arpeggiated synths, a slow-rolling bassline and crystalline melodies, and the record finishes in proto-house territory with the Peech Boys era Larry Levan inspired ‘Red Light’. This EP may wear its influences on its sleeve, but it looks (and sounds) classy as hell.

Oceanways T150 kicks off with a serene atmosphere and soothing chords. Deep as the ocean, ethereal pads and distant piano stabs trot along to a laid back breakbeat groove. Analogue synths chirp like birds, and you can hear the swell of the sea in the distance. Next thing you know, bouncing square waves and a thumping kick drum up the pace. The pads are gone, the hihats are crisp, and an incoming clap tells you it’s time to dance. Deep but full of energy, Ben Sun’s Oceanways take us back to simpler times, revisiting the old school breakbeat infused house tip with a modern twist, and reminding us yet again of how we missed it so.

Definitely a must-have EP for any house connoisseur, grab Place of Worship EP out next week on Delusions of Grandeur!
