Raymond Owen – Detachment

The jacking dynamo strikes once more, dropping four razor-sharp takes on the original warehouse sound that ignited a movement in his native North West UK and far beyond. He lashes out with a juicy acid bite à la Mike Dunn or Adonis on ‘DNAP’, charges the rhythm with a slick electro twist on ‘Human Ecology Fund’, and channels pure Larry Heard energy on the Gherkin-style ‘Detachment (AFN Mix)’—all topped off with ecstatic female vocal cuts that shimmer through its more hypnotic ‘Chieu Hoi Mix’.
