Privacy – Autonegotiation [KL-NR1]

First up on Klakson’s NR series is Berlin-based producer Privacy. There’s plenty to set the pulse racing throughout the EP, from the punchy electro beats, squelchy bass and foreboding synth-strings of opener “Slide Back”, to the rolling mid-tempo dancefloor melancholy of closing cut “(Not) Again!”, whose cascading chords and unsettling bassline help set a suitably clandestine mood. Elsewhere, “Filestream” is a fuzzy but melodious chunk of lo-fi late night electro, while “Go” is a high-octane ghetto-tech thriller capable of causing devastation on dancefloors that like it raw and speedy.

Late Night Approach – Clarence Mews [KLAKSON028]

Late Night Approach debuts on Klakson with a hyper funky electro twelve. The two tracks on the A side both show machine music that’s simultaneously human, whether it’s the melancholic shards of melody buried under “Clarence Mews” commanding rhythmic pulsations, or the beautifully striking chords on “Luvquest”. However, the b-side takes us to gloomy subterranean pastures with the uptempo banger “Primo”, while A2 “Kit” crosses over into broken beats but still keeps the same shadowy atmosphere.

Privacy – Zero Value [KLAKSON026]

New school electro wunderkind Privacy makes his debut on Klakson with a dark four tracker that checks all the right boxes. The EP kicks off with “Four IO”, a haunting, spacey dubbed out acid roller with lush pads throughout. “U Can Tell” and “NCSC” are both specimens of the finest EBM tradition, re-interpreting the sound for 2017, while “Shove” on the B2 effortlessly transports us into deep, uptempo aquatic electro territory.

Steffi & Dexter – Zatlap [KLAKSON025]

The original Klakson funkateers Steffi and Dexter return to true form with three punchy techno/electro cuts. “Zatlap” on the A Side is a lush nighttime driving track with an urgent bassline powering all through the song while spaced out strings develop. The B-side’s “Kopstoot” is a pure funk workout in the Detroit tradition while “De Fles” builds a stack of airy pads on top of a playful question and answer bass riff to maximum effectiveness.
