As the reissue of past works continues in full swing, one of the masterpieces by ROB PEARSON—a legend who epitomizes South London tech house—the rare 2000 release “Slipstream EP” has been reissued! The standout track is undoubtedly the high-pitched tech house track “Slipstream” (sample 1), which races forward driven by a dubby bassline while an impressive high-pitched synth cuts through with fluid elegance. Other highlights include “Metaphor” (sample 2), which incorporates the spirit of early BLEEP and the Warehouse scene and fuses it with the sensibilities of late-90s tech house. This release captures the exquisite sound of PEARSON’s early days, just as he was about to burst onto the scene, and it continues to garner praise from fans to this day.
