CLEYMOORE Vinyl & CDs

Review: While Pheek may have been in operation for as long as anyone can remember within minimal house and techno, Cleymoore has been most productive more recently thanks to his Pluie/Noir label. Following on from last year's Seikou single on Xquisite, here Cleymoore and Pheek link up to deliver some densely packed, production rich jams that keep the spirit of mid-00s clicks and cuts alive. The beats themselves may be slender slices that carry the energy of the tracks, but it's all in the infinitesimal details in between that the true magic of this music comes alive.

Review: New Chilean label Secret Society kicks off with a split 12" called Sheep that features a who's who of the current minimal scene. Kicking things off is none other than SIT, aka Cristi Cons & Vlad Caia, with the deeply rolling, superbly emotive and utterly hypnotic "Near Jam". Subtlety is the name of the game on Funk E & Luc Ringeisen's "Your House", with its simplistic bump and shuffle getting you stoned into the groove. Finally, on the flip we've got the downright creepy and paranoid "Juice & Bread" by Joaquin Lledo & Cleymoore; its chilling atmospherics and dubby low-slung groove are perfectly suited for sleep deprived Sunday afternoons while it's raining down at Club der Visionaere this Fall.
