Terrence Dixon – Room 310 [MEA003]

Room 310

One of the rare new Terrence Dixon releases… this time on the nice Meakusma. The two original tracks are two deep space jams with and from a Detroit mindset, the remixes on the flipside by Upperground Orchestra take the ‘Room 310’ track into deep jazz territory. The original ‘Room 310′ has one filtered and repetitive synth melody at its core, Dixon’s own voice marking a conflict between the reality of everyday life and the expanded reality of what he sees in the sky. ‘Who is That’ explores the same territory.
