#electronic #techno

Kloke returns from the shimmering depths of last year's Sea Levels EP with a 12" of earth-splitting proportions.

Kloke's two new originals, "P.H.O.N.E." and "Rhythm #1", both bristle and march with the weight of warring beasts: the former a maelstrom of high tempo percussion and howling incantations, the latter a saber-toothed plunge into the heart of darkness. For fans of Demdike Stare, Ninos Du Brasil, Shackleton and every sadistic percussion manipulator out there.

On the b-side, another planet's evangelist Hieroglyphic Being sears "P.H.O.N.E." with an extended remix built for the floor and laced for space. Acid techno for freaks and fiends.

Really fucking special - Brendon Moeller DJ/Producer

Donnelly has taken a leap further into pastures new, ramping up the intensity and drawing influence from African percussion to create a visceral sound that exists on the edges of what could be considered club music. - Juno Plus

There are very few sounds, however, that will match the feeling of picking up the phone to hear a remix from Hieroglyphic Being on the other end and, if it's this particularly remix of Kloke that you're greeted with, there's very little in the world of sound that can beat the treat you're about to receive. - The Ransom Note

Kloke’s Sea Levels was probably one of last year’s most underrated EPs, taking the sort of deep, considered beat construction you’d hear from Kassem Mosse and dragging it 100 fathoms deeper. His second 12” for the similarly underrated Styles Upon Styles is a different beast entirely, including two cuts that nail barbed, acid-soaked percussion to a framework that’s more Shackleton than Workshop. It says a lot about how wild these tracks are that Hieroglyphic Being’s 11-minute acid remix of the title track sounds conservative by comparison. - FACT
