There lies a certain guarantee of quality within every new Krystal Klear û especially
on Running Back. After the still heavily rotating Piano Banana release, it is time
for the versatile and valuable Connect EP. The four tracks here hit the mark between
the confusion or disorientation of any dance music DJ and producer during lockdown,
and the genreÆs intrinsic ethos of better days, utopia and a certain relentless
drive. Traces of such energies henpeck the Irish producerÆs work and can also be
found here.
Mega Chords kick off the round dance. Imagine the French Touch retouched, updated,
refined and designed to empty the serotonin storage. Our Signal puts the lid back on
the happiness box, paints a picture of pain and romance and is equally informed by
Larry Heard mood boards as it is by Paninaro poetry. Flip it over for a stream lined
and well-crafted tour de DJ. If there ever was something like a fair-spoken banger
Telephone is the one. A racing motorbike on standby. Last, but not least, Paris Metro
is a power house with a creative arrangement and an inventive spin that exceeds the
limits of a normal DJ tool. Modern dance music with classic tropes and lots of
strobes.
Krystal Klear gets that balance right. Mega Chords indeed.
