Bleep

Berghain promoters and record label Leisure System hand a debut release to Rob Clouth who turns in the Clockwork Atom EP – a dense collection of contorted beats and warm melodies. First off is the lush, melodic ‘Clockwork Atom’, working warm tones and clever rhythmic shifts for a blissed-out, Mount Kimbie-esque affair. Next, and in stark contrast is the cold, mechanic glare of ‘Island Of Glass’ with its sizzling electrical charge and hammer-blow beats and finally ‘The Decent’ – a delicate concoction of soft piano keys and twisted drums.
