Arttu – UFO Funkin’ / Passing Out Privileges [ROYAL020]

Arttu is back with two tight tracks in his trademark raw jacking house sound. Chicago rooted house music drenched in a heavy dose of interstellar boogie. A-side is the shuffling bassline driven UFO-funkin’ that goes all crazy. AA side is Arttu featuring Detroit’s Jerry The Cat. Both tracks comes in vocal and instrumental version. Instrumentals take things back to the bare essential and are total basement workouts.

Najem Sworb makes his debut on the Clone Basement Series. A release that shows the core of the Clone Basement series, nothing fancy, trendy or hype. Just the sincere basics of techno that make people gather in dark basements for over 2 decades now. An almost ritual tradition of techno music. Primitive and refined at the same time.

Headless Ghost – Frontend EP [ROYAL016]

Clone Royal Oak with a release by Headless Ghost, a production alias of Ripperton delivering three shit hot tracks. Asking what the difference is between Ripperton and his Headless Ghost production he said ””while the headless ghost is doing stuff intuitive, i see what you did there”. Not sure if we completely understand, but the intuitive thing makes sense while listening to the tracks. Killer 3 track ep with a some sharp edged house music.

Arttu,the Finnish boy wonder played around with the recordings too and came up with a heavy 4/4 thump with layers of samples that let the funk out.

Clone’s label founder Serge with his buddy Alden Tyrell on the case with some hot jacking tracks. Like the rest of the Clone Jack For Daze series, House Countdown adheres slavishly to the ideals of Chicago. And while this may not be the most limitless arena for Clone founder Serge Verschuur’s return—apart from remixes, he’s been out of the production game for 15 years—the duo’s three jack tracks prove sound examples of refinement.
