Release Note ......::
The first installment in a double issue of brand new Cleric productions drops
with Figure 64. The young British producer has released a handful of 12''s over
the last few years, issuing forth a bold, club targeted sound with a keen ear
for clarity and full-spectrum sonics. Now we are treated to a wide ranging and
impressive new wave of work, over 8 tracks on 2 x 12''s, from Cleric on
Figure.Taking us head first into the action, 'Avoid The Subject' presents a
crazy dystopia of arpeggiated synth bleeps, dancing and filtering around a
heavy trademark Cleric drum barrage. At once recognisable, part-insane and
part-paranoid funk, its a strong statement to start the EP. B1 cut 'Charlatan'
strips things down with a more heads-down jam, with a classic melancholic synth
array washing over heavy, stoic drums. Contrasting and complementing the
hands-in-the-air action of the A1, this is understated, hypnotic Techno for
2015. In a happy contrast then, both the A2 and B2 tracks opt to show off some
of Clerics more subdued, dubbed-out moments. 'Mx4' is a downtempo atmospheric
grower, snaking over 5 minutes of wonderful dub-FX, while the post-ambient
'Gateway' segues gently in and out with its own tidal rhythms.
