After the Dexter and Erik Travis releases its funkateer mr Blount getting freaky on his 2nd release! Hailing from New Zealand Reggie Blount made his debut 1.5 year ago on Clone Crown ltd. His Hard Times debut ep sold out straight away and got loads of fine feedback from the heads out there. This second ep starts with more crazy funky vocal p-funk tracks Flip side starts with the incredible track ”Hey”. One of those tracks that is able to give you goose bumps and grow on you to become one of those ”our tunes” kinda tracks you share with that special person. Ep is finnishing of with the beautiful wave electro funk kinda thing called Racecar! As if Garry Numan is doing some p-funk.

Marco Bernardi is back on Clone Royal Oak with a beautiful three track ep! Tracks that are a nice blend of his roots in Glasgow and Detroit techno stirred into a nice personal outing that show his talents. The Ep features slowly building tracks that keep the tension high with Bernardi’s trademark melodies layered over basic house rhythms with a raw edge.

Three new and raw box tracks by Paul du Lac, who seems to be pushing his minimalistic jackin’ sound palette even further. We have the fierce and autistic-tantristic dirtyness of ‘Tantra Master’, the Dance Mania flavoured funk of ‘Childs Play’, and the deep strings of the bassline-driven ‘Spaces Below’, a classic Chicago-inspired piece of work that seems to come from deep within.

Elitechnique is back with Intrusion, a 8 track ep. The pair (Remco de Jong aka Phako and Florentijn Boddendijk) find an ongoing source of inspiration in disco and electronic obscurities as we’ve learned from their previous releases (which have been played and charted by all the big names in modern disco), but combine this with their fascination for the great 60′s and 70′s soundtracks! The result is a timeless imaginary sound track that adds sex and intrigue to their music and unleashed from the chains of dancefloor productions. On this Intrusion album they take freedom to play around with atmosphere intensity and tension without only focussing about a dancefloor. Both being skilled producers and musicians the result is an album extraordinaire with all instruments and music played, recorded and arranged by themselfs over a period of more then a year!

Tom Noble with a reprise 12” of his great Dancing Hard track taken from the Liger Vision debut ep. Mr. Noble is recognized as one of the worlds top diggers when it comes to disco and rare funk. He got some help from his British equivalent Mr Al Kent from Million Dollar Disco fame, who got some help from his buddies Ray Harris on keys and Kev McShane on guitar to craft this awesome remix, or actual new recorded version of Dancing Hard!

Alden Tyrell hooked up with Mike Dunn for some new work!. Tyrell always jamming and playing around with his synths had some tracks inspired by early Mike Dunn songs. So the obvious happened… the hooked up for some appropiate vocals and here it is….”Touch The Sky”! A peak time acid monster with Mike’s vocal chant in the style of his classic MD3 projects. Gerd is on remix duty here and delivers a killer remix with a more traditional Chicago groove and build up. Clone head honcho Serge had some studio time with Tyrell for a dub mix. The Serge & Tyrell dub mix turned out a bit wild and became a classic piece of piano and dx bass driven Chicago house music with stuttering vocal samples and a acidic synth line.

After Conforce’s tight album release on Delsin and other concept projects he did he/we went wild with this one and selected some tracks we just want to play out loud in a club from vinyl (incl. a killer remix by Gesloten Cirkel for the title track). At first sight these tracks dont have much in common… and probably still not for the second listen, but we didnt really bother for this one. It will be a standard in our dj box for the coming months with 4 tracks that all have a bit of a different groove and a different mood. Grain, Be There At Night, 24 and 24 remixed by Gesloten Cirkel. This is probably as versatile as a Clone Basement release can get.

Tom Noble returns to the Clone Loft Supreme series with some sunblazed disco boogie funk burner. As a dedicated, synth-crazed low-fi-delic, Tom Noble made a name for himself first with his dance-floor edits of ultra-rare disco discoveries. On the other side of the pond Al Kent from Million Dollar Disco fame is doing mor eor less the same as Tom Noble… so he was our number 1 pick for a remix on Tom’s Dancing Hard track (taken from his debut ep). Special mention on the Al Kent remix which is a incredibly well crafted music version with live instruments and a lot of attention for detail. Classic! Concluding that this is a essential package for all diggers and disco funk and boogie heads with sweaty disco funk slab’s for the late night disco action!

Arttu aka Lump would be jamming in his Lisbon studio with Detroit’s Jerry the Cat! These tracks are the perfect first collaboration between Arttu, Jerry the Cat and Clone records!! Playful and funky old schoolish house tracks with the joyfull vocals of Mr Cat all recorded during some live sessions in Lisbon where they both reside. Arttu went back to some intuitive drum programming for these live sessions and made simple funky drum machine patterns around nice hypnotic basslines. Vocals and additional percussion still have some of that live feel after the tracks have been arranged and mixed.

Two producers on duty for Gerd’s Palm Leaves remixes. Sometimes an amazing track like Palm Leaves just screams for a rework by someone who really could do something nice with it. And this seems to be the perfect remix duo… Larry Heard aka Mr Fingers and Deetron. One for the body and one for the soul!

From the Mind of Erik! Dropping the dopest tunes since 1987, Erik is back on the radar in 2011 with these 4 brand new tunes! This gets every Detroit party started and if you are not to stiff in the hips you’ll be shaking your ass on these crazy tunes. Pumping 808, Erik on the mic, silly ass beats, funky basslines… no hype break downs, no magic computer tricks… just solid rocking tracks the new old school way. What else do we need? All you got to do is turn it up!
