Artist
Fluxion
Crate Digger's Guide
- Studio Medium:
- Fluxion primarily used analog multi-track magnetic tape during the late 90s and early 2000s for his recordings.
- Pressing Plants:
- Key records were pressed at plants like Optimal Media and Pallas in Germany.
- Lacquer Cut:
- His tracks often utilize deep bass frequencies, which can lead to inner-groove distortion if not cut correctly on lacquer.
- Matrix Runout:
- Collectors often seek matrix runouts with etchings like 'FLX' or specific catalog numbers to confirm first pressings.
Vinyl Collector Intelligence
- Grail Pressing:
- Chain Reaction's historic 1999 production run represents the rarest and most sonically complete physical master in the Fluxion discography.
- Best Reissue:
- The modern 2020 colored vinyl reissues from 030303 offer a sonically faithful pressing for Fluxion listeners.
- Mastering & Translation:
- The dense multitrack vocal harmonies and electronic sub-bass frequencies characteristic of Fluxion's production demand a stable microlinear stylus to prevent high-frequency sibilance.
- Shelf Alternatives:
- Your physical shelf space will pair seamlessly with classic releases from Basic Channel on Basic Channel or Monolake on Imbalance Computer Music.
