"The ‘Submerged’ EP has been an extended work-in-progress for this talented producer, fine-tuned and tweaked over the past few years, before being allowed to see the light of day – and it shows. The depth of the productions and the quality sustained within each of them is something to savour. The opening title track itself is superb, a classic remake of all that’s good about German labels like Tresor and Disko B, shaken up a bit with the wonderful, Detroit-infuenced Melbourne scene that Son Of Zev emerged from in the mid 1990s – think Voiteck and TR-Storm – combined with that fidgety live sound and swinging grooves Son Of Zev is famous for. ‘Breakdown’ smacks you round a bit like a modern jazz-jam session on steroids, ‘Trimetric-Funk’ offers up a sublimely bent form of tech-house that would sit well on any Planetary Assault System record, and ‘Wintersun’ offers more of the same, without being samey. Closing up shop here is the final track, ‘Dummy’, an innovative tech track that references Chicago’s DJ Rush, yet places everything in a Germanic sound-cycle, with an edge of Detroit and a sprinkling of the wonky techno of Dave Tarrida or Cristian Vogel. It’s all so evidently Melbourne — and more specifically Son Of Zev. Brilliant stuff."
