Review:
Ben Sun made his debut back in 2013, delivering a chunk of life-affirming deep house for Quintessentials’ Thanks You Freaks compilation. Three years on, Delusions of Grandeur has handed him the opportunity to showcase his talents over a three-track E.P. His style, which blends elements of electronic disco, deep house and glassy-eyed Balearica, is perfectly suited to the Freerange offshoot. Particularly enjoyable is “Star Ritual”, where trippy, delay-laden boogie vocal samples ride a reverb-heavy, African-influenced drum rhythm and undulating, analogue bassline. Elsewhere, shirts may be removed for the bleep-heavy nu-disco/deep house fusion of “Full Moon”, while the overwhelmingly tactile “Glass Waves” is little less than a piano-heavy chunk of early Italian deep house revivalism.
