Double LP version. Since his early days at Chain Reaction, K. Soublis (Fluxion) has carved his own unique style, combining elements of dub, ambient, techno, score, textural, and even jazz elements, all glued together with his distinct production aesthetic. Haze is a broad selection of pieces that was recorded between 2023 and 2024. The music moves from more slow cyclic compositional pieces on
"Life Motif," "Nexus," and "Desiderium," to ambient dub pieces, on "Magenta" and "Touch," on to more euphoric and uplifting ones on "Footsteps," "Berlin," and "What Tommorow Brings," reflecting on the artist's need to tell stories. As a whole Haze showcases the artist's versatility on moving and combining different genres with his own distinct crafted sound, bringing a bold, fresh, unique view, making the album an indulging and intriguing listening experience. Fluxion has managed to constantly add to his sound through the years always evolving and Haze is a testament of his restless nature and his need to move towards more uncharted territories without alienating the listener.

Limited 2022 restock; double LP version. Fluxion continues to carve his own musical path, taking his listeners to a personal journey in his inner world, moods and moments, showcasing the importance of being influenced by none other than real life moments, people, expectations, joy, dreams and disappointments. Expressing what comes from the inside, instead of the outside, creating a more intimate work, is at the main focus of the artist since his previous album Perspectives that came out on May 2020. Artistic development happens from within, not from repeating formulas of the past, but embracing and mixing life events, alongside different styles of music culture, and creating personal stories, outside of trends, that's what keeps the music interesting. On Parallel Moves, Fluxion flows through various emotional states, and through blending of styles and expanding the borders, he manages to create variety listening to the album which is essential on an LP. But even with the variety the music bears the Fluxion sound aesthetic making it an enjoyable listening experience, that requires more listens.

VMR 003LP
|
2x12" version. Fluxion's Ripple Effect is the film score for a non-existing motion picture. This nine-track album is the result of experimentation and the combination of the producer's two most cherished art forms: electronic music and score music. Ironically the two worlds rarely seem to meet, despite the fact that score music has adopted a looser form in order to better adapt to film accompaniment, bringing it closer to electronic music which attempts to contradict form or shed it altogether. Fluxion felt the need to bring these two musical forms into dialogue with each other, lending structure to electronic and deconstructing score music to create a malleable and expressive hybrid. The album's production took two years from its original conception for the subliminal story to unfold into the completed product. Fluxion wanted to say as much as possible through the music, leaving the visuals as a blank canvas for the listener to create their own story. In the end, the goal is to give each member of the audience a unique audiovisual experience based on their own perception and interpretation.

ECHO 076EP
|
Greek producer Fluxion returns to Danish imprint Echocord with his Upsides & Sideways EP, comprising three original productions. The Athens-based artist opens with "En Route", employing sharp percussive foundations, white noise atmospheres, and haunting chord progressions which evolve throughout the track before "The Place" offers dubbed-out synthesizer motifs and glitching arpeggios which are underpinned by echoing drums and a subtle bass melody. "Flick" then closes out the release with spacey synth riffs developing over groove-led percussion and a warm, distorted low-end.

SUBWAXFX 004EP

In 2016, Subwax Bcn remastered and reissued the timeless dub techno compilation Vibrant Forms II by Fluxion (SUBWAXFX 001CD). Konstantinos Soublis, aka Fluxion, and Subwax Bcn have decided to pick up the banner and release Vibrant Forms III. It's all here: The massive, booming basses, the clicks and hisses, the atmospheric thunderstorms, the opium smoke-scented streaks of reverb, dub echoes and the warmth. Vibrant Forms II was a reminder of the legacy of the Basic Channel, in which Chain Reaction played an important part. Vibrant Forms III is a reminder of the timelessness of truly great music.

SUBWAXFX 002CD
|
Earlier in 2016, Subwax Bcn made an important contribution to the electronic music community by remastering and reissuing the timeless dub techno compilation Vibrant Forms II by Fluxion (SUBWAXFX 001CD). First released in the year 2000 on Chain Reaction, Vibrant Forms II is widely considered to be one of the greatest achievements in the genre. As it turns out, Vibrant Forms II became one of the last records to be released on Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald's classic label - a suitable swan song if there ever was one. And that's it, right? Well not quite. If one would search for Fluxion's Vibrant Forms III, Discogs would come up empty and Google would treat it as a misspelling - until now. Konstantinos Soublis, aka Fluxion, and Subwax Bcn have decided to pick up the banner and release Vibrant Forms III. It contains everything anyone could hope for and more: The massive, booming basses, the clicks and hisses, the atmospheric thunderstorms, the opium smoke-scented streaks of reverb, dub echoes and the warmth. Yes, above all else the warmth: Sometimes moist and dripping as in "Safe Harbour", sometimes blisteringly dry as in "Variant". It's no easy task, giving cold, dead machines warm breaths. And no-one quite does it like Fluxion. The reissue of Vibrant Forms II was an act of cultural preservation. It reminded us about the legacy of the Basic Channel label family, in which Chain Reaction played an important part. Without this legacy, the contemporary body of electronic music would look different and make very different sounds. With the release of Vibrant Forms III, Subwax Bcn takes it one step further. Fluxion's Vibrant Forms III album reminds any listener of the timelessness of truly great music, never mind the genre.

SUBWAXFX 001CD
|
Widely considered one of the landmark releases of dub-infused electronic music, as well as an endless resource of inspiration and awe for generations of electronic music artists and enthusiasts, Vibrant Forms II by Fluxion was originally released on Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald's revered Chain Reaction label in 2000; this cavernous masterpiece now receives its long-awaited first-ever reissue from Barcelona imprint Subwax Bcn, with newly remastered sound and new artwork. Collecting the Prospect 12" (SUBWAXFX 001EP, 1999) and Bipolar Defect double-12" (SUBWAXFX 002LP, 2000), as well as previously unreleased tracks, Vibrant Forms II was Fluxion's second compilation on Chain Reaction, and it successfully managed to broaden the space and the environment of the compositions, as well as develop further his technique of textural sonic blend. Keep that in mind when entering "Prospect 1," the gateway into Fluxion's deep universe, as waves crash languidly on a foggy beach early in the morning. These visions of fog, rising steam, or thick mist are archetypical for Chain Reaction and Fluxion, and they haunt the listener throughout the Vibrant Forms II experience. Sometimes these visions take the form of dream-inducing haze filling the air in dark opium dens. At other times there are heaps of white summer clouds behind the listener's eyelids, slowly being pulled apart by cool gusts of wind. But there's more to Fluxion's music than these soothing elements. The pulse of the city is omnipresent; the sounds of organic lifeforms surging through the streets like a thick, humanoid liquid, flowing, mixing, dissolving. . . . But also the steady thumps, beats, and clicks of the city itself; the machines, the vehicles, the mechanical hearts. On the one hand, moisture and warmth. On the other, structure, logic, and aging concrete. This rare combination of hot and heavily sedated soundscapes with elements of chilling clarity and clinical precision makes Vibrant Forms II an immortal compilation. And that makes Subwax Bcn's decision to reissue it a significant act of cultural preservation.

Restocked. Widely considered one of the landmark releases of dub-infused electronic music, as well as an endless resource of inspiration and awe for generations of electronic music artists and enthusiasts, Bipolar Defect by Fluxion was originally released on Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald's revered Chain Reaction label in 2000; this cavernous masterpiece now receives its long-awaited first-ever reissue from Barcelona imprint Subwax Bcn. Bipolar Defect successfully managed to broaden the space and the environment of Fluxion's compositions, and developed further his technique of textural sonic blend. "Fluxion's fourth and most otherworldly Chain Reaction EP, Bipolar Effect. . . . remains his most stunning listen, as the producer continually crafts hallucinogenic aural experiences with an unbelievably minimal palette." --AllMusic

Double LP version. Echocord presents the third album by Fluxion. In the beginning of 2013, K. Soublis (aka Fluxion) met Jamaican vocalist Teddy Selassie in NY. After a brief discussion, they started exchanging music and lyrics and by the end of 2013, the Broadwalk Tales album came to life -- an album of musical pieces that visit the roots of reggae and dub music with the distinct Fluxion production aesthetic, combining them with more ambient atmospheric tracks as well as techno and more experimental productions. In the words of the artist: "I wanted to make something more than the usual dub techno tracks with a hint of manipulated voices every now and then. Teddy Selassie came in and gave a breath to the whole material, made it more alive, broadening the journey."

We are proud to release the new ep and 3rd album by Fluxion on Echocord. On This ep we have 2 tracks from the CD Album, which are not on the vinyl album. In the beginning of 2013 K. Soublis (aka Fluxion) met Jamaican vocalist Teddy Selassie in NY. After a brief discussion they started exchanging music and lyrics and by the end of 2013, the "Broadwalk Tales" album came to life. It's an album of musical pieces that visit the roots of reggae and dub music with the distinct Fluxion production aesthetic, combining them with more ambient atmospheric tracks as well as techno and more experimental productions. It's this broad musical palette that K. Soublis keeps broadening without loosing his uniqueness. In the words of the artist. "I wanted to make something more than the usual dub techno tracks with a hint of manipulated voices every now and then. Teddy Selassie came in and gave a breath to the whole material, made it more alive, broadening the journey. I also wanted to explore the cinematic perspective over repetitive structures. I try not to repeat myself, and always try something that feels challenging. This ep contains 2 tracks, one instrumental and one with the amazing vocal by Teddy Selassie.

Warehouse find, last copies; Double LP version. Kostas Soublis' productions under the Fluxion moniker helped define legendary Berlin imprint Chain Reaction, and with 1999's Vibrant Forms, the Greek producer released a milestone in the dub techno genre. Hazy and distant, there was still more than enough dancefloor push to propel Soublis into the (very short) list of genre legends, and make Vibrant Forms one of the very rare techno albums that works from beginning to end. Out of press for far too long, this new edition of Vibrant Forms has been remastered and will finally see the entire album released on vinyl for the first time. The most shocking thing hearing it almost 15 years after its original release, however, is how little it has dated. Soublis wisely avoided any cultural tropes, and the productions still sound fresh and deceptively alien. Through washes and waves of reverb and the faint thud of a kick drum, the all-analog productions contain a raw quality that is all too rare these days. Just head to the album's elegiac closing number "Opaque." Upbeat and propulsive, the track still maintains a deceptive calm, buoyed by swirling synthesizer washes and sizzling, tape-saturated percussion. This is the way dub techno should sound -- don't accept any imitations, Vibrant Forms is the real thing. Completely remastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy.

ECHO 056EP

This is the third EP from Fluxion's Traces album (ECHO 011CD) on Echocord. With "Stations" and "Burst Mode," Fluxion shows his more ambient style, with a dubby, warm floating touch. "Memba" is a typically dub-techno Fluxion track, perfect for the dancefloor. This EP also contains a superb ambient remix of "Burst Mode," made by Convextion. After a decade in the field of dub, techno and ambient, Fluxion opens the horizon with music that cannot fall under one specific territory.

This is the second EP from Fluxion's Traces album (ECHO 011CD) on Echocord. This work is about his travels in music. The sounds, influences and aesthetic of his actual travels, expectation-journey-destination, alongside the musical influences deriving from them. "Eruption" is maybe the most powerful, deep, dubby track from the album, perfect for the dancefloor. "Motion 3" and "Motion 2" are also beautiful, floating dubby tracks. Finally, Morphosis did a remix of "Eruption" -- pure killer madness for the dancefloor.

This work is about his travels in music -- the sounds, influences and aesthetics, alongside the musical influences deriving from them. "No Man Is An Island" is an unreleased Dennis Brown vocal version and "Desert Nights" sounds like desert rock meeting dub on a road movie. "Butiama" is an actual place, where variations and consistency in rhythm is within people's DNA. This EP also includes a remix by Thomas Fehlmann.
