Spanish imprintClock Poetsreturns with its sixth release, a nicely curated three-track V.A. that brings togetherDan Andrei, Root, and label founders Marco and Javier (Clock Poets). Aptly titledSurrealism, the EP explores different shades of minimal techno and micro-house, offering a dynamic range of textures and grooves.
Dan Andreisets the tone withSi Un Ecou(A1), a stripped-back, bass-heavy roller with a raw, hypnotic energy. Laced with eerie, Hitchcockian tension, the track simmers with understated menace until a burst of heavily modulated synth chords cuts through the groove like a sudden flash of light turning the mood on its head. Subtle yet striking creative decisions like these highlight Andreis refined sonic evolution. On(A2),RootsApophisis a swing-heavy slice of classic micro-house. Shuffling drum patterns dart unpredictably, locking the dancefloor into a stealthy groove while growling synth textures add an air of mystique and atmospheric tension. A nod to the golden era of the genre, yet firmly grounded in the present.
Clock Poetsclose the EP withGalaxy(B1), a sprawling14-minute live-recorded behemoth,through microscopic sound design and intricate rhythm programming. Filtered, syncopated drum patterns weave through evolving bass stabs and delicate melodic fragments, crafting a hypnotic groove that pulls listeners deeper with every loop.
Surrealism is a carefully balanced record with a range of moods and styles for the lovers of thoughtful minimal dance music, and yet another compelling addition to theClock Poetscatalogue refined and immersive.
