Gerd – Planet F.M.D.X. pt. 1 [ROYAL034]
Dutch Veteran Gerd’s return to Royal Oak. For the occasion he dusted of the classic gear and especially the Yamaha DX100. Four tracks from Planet F.M.D.X.
Mike Dehnert – Echo 8 [CBS020]
Mike Dehnert is back with his 4th release on the Clone Basement Series. Ice cold grooving techno cuts. Machine grooves sounding so cold and so damn sexy at the same time.
Zwischenwelt – Paranormale Aktivitat [CAL007LP]
Zwischenwelt is a project combining the talents of former Drexciya member Heinrich Mueller, New York DJ and producer Susana Correia, Spanish producer Penelope Martin and vocalist Beta Evers. This is the first vinyl edition of this special project. A well executed audio-visual experience playing with the tension between machine and human vox. Musically rooted in the early 90’s lab-electro style that has been presented as Gesamtkuntwerk, further conceptualized and developed into an even more abstract but not any less powerful or less intense experience. Cold voices sonically merging with emotional machine sounds (or is it cold machine sounds merging with emotive vocal sounds?).
Clarence G – Hyperspace Sound Lab [CAL006]
Before his untimely death in 2002, Drexciya member James Stinson recorded a number of killer solo records. Hyperspace Soundlab, initially released in 1991 and credited to Clarence G, is undoubtedly one of his best. It’s long been something of an in-demand gem, with copies changing hands for several hundred pounds. Here, Clone have done us all a favour and given it a much-needed reissue via their Aqualung series dedicated to all things Drexciyan. As you’d perhaps expect, all four tracks explore the Detroit elecro sound Stinson did much to develop, with the producer adding his own rap vocals to the killer “Clarence G’s Club”, and the ghetto-influenced bounce of “Cause I Said It Right”. Elsewhere, “Turbine” is an exercise in industrial-tinged drum machine abuse, while “Data Transfer” sees Stinson doffing a cap to classic Chicago acid.

Alternate mixes of two seminal Drexciya tracks. A longer version of Black Sea and a different mix for Wavejumper (without the infamous ‘skip’). And to finish it off an Unknown Journey.
Takuya Matsumoto – EKR’s Galactic Dance [ROYAL025]
Takuya Matsumoto’s debut release for Clone Royal Oak. A beautiful 4 track EP with unique tracks from this talented Japanese producer.
The Exaltics – Some Other Place vol. 3 [CWCS008.3]
The Exaltics – Some Other Place Vol. 2 [CWCS008.2]
The Exaltics – Some Other Place Vol. 1 [CWCS008.1]
The Exaltics make their debut on Clone West Coast Series. This the first volume in a triptych of their stark, futuristic sound yet showing a more melancholic and introspective side this time. You can almost hear the longing for other places
Vernon Felicity – Non Harmonic [C#SOS05]
Elitechnique – Intrusion II [CLSS009.1]
Intrusion II, the follow up of the magnificent Elitechnique EP of last year. Another 8 stunning tracks. Ranging from their own brand of disco to 70’s porn funk.
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.
Serge @ Clone x Delsin x Rush Hour ADE Special, Trouw (Amsterdam) 18.10.2013
Alden Tyrell – Some House / Wurk It [CJFD019]
Alden Tyrell is back with a new Clone Jack For Daze. A double A-side release with modern jack tracks that nod to Chicago’s tradition of making effective and fun tracks for the floor. These two tracks with a little jack nostalgia that will do the job! Mr Tyrell delivering in top form.
Der Zyklus – Elektonisches Zeitechno / Mathematische Modelle [CAL003]
Two great Der Zyklus tracks finally available on vinyl again after being out of print for a long time. Heinrich Mueller (Dopplereffekt, Arpanet, Drexciya) in top form.
