Review The result of an alliance with Ralph Lawson's tech house imprint 20:20; 2020 Vision finds Wilson leafing through the label catalogue and twisting it to his own image. It works pretty nicely. Wilson has an ear for the cosmic - twinkling, strobe-lit analogue synthesisers and big euphoric washes of sound - but his mixes maintain a simmering, funky bedrock that keeps this mix from slipping off the dancefloor and into the realms of head music. 20:20 heads will find much here that's familiar: Fred Everything's Without, with its washed-out piano motif, multi-layered percussion, and one-fingered synth stabs, or Random Factor's Circuit Semantics, a more skeletal track, haunted by spectral synth and a soulful, deep house vocal are rightfully considered amongst the label's best.
Those with keen ears, however, might hear how Wilson stamps his own personality onto the mix, offering up audacious splices and atmospheric washes of sound played straight off tape reel that sees him blur the boundary between mere DJ and live performer. If only other modern DJs, with their laptops and CD mixers, could spice a mix with such maverick personality. Little worry for Wilson, though - it simply means he still sounds like he's in a class of his own. --Louis Pattison
