loket - All Ages EP
Cooking With Palms Trax [CWPT006]
02 June 2023

Lower-case and higher-vibes, loket is the saxophonic alias of Tahl Klainman, a versatile presence in Berlin’s alternative and underground scene, whose diverse productions have traversed ambient, trance, techno and jazz on labels such as Mama Told Ya, Hot Concept and Tax Free Records. More recently loket also guested on Massimiliano Pagliara’s LP ‘See You In Paradise’, which received the 2023 German Record Critics’ Award, as well as establishing Klainman as one of the few saxophonists to have jammed live to a peak-time Panorama Bar dancefloor.

Reigniting the languid futurism of trip-hop and downtempo, ‘All Ages’ ably delivers the most inclusive distillation of loket’s sound thus far, paying respect to the influences such as William Orbit and Moby, as well as fourth-world innovator Jon Hassell’s philosophy of blending traditional instrumentation with contemporary electronic experimentalism. Mixed in collaboration with Angus Finlayson, aka Minor Science, each of ‘All Ages’ four pieces transmit the wonder and free-spirited optimism reflected on photographer Jordan Kirk’s wide-eyed cover art.

Title track ‘All Ages’ prizes open a saxophonic wormhole to beckon an infectiously baggy groove, unexpectedly referencing the optimistic rhythm of acid-house inflected Madchester, only with gnarlier guitars to contrast a seriously insistent bassline. ‘Afternoon at Bärenquell’ boldly teases out sonic pleasure from even more idiosyncratic means, melding baroque strings and twinkling new-age melodies to loket’s emotive brass, culminating in a neo-classical finale that seems to suspend itself mid-air.

‘Sanders Groove’ sees loket’s sax step back on a bed of soft, jazz-inflected percussion and unpredictable electronics, melting as one into a slow-motion riff that’s equal parts indie jam and musique concrete. Finally, ‘Soft as Moonlight’ makes good on its romantic namesake with a swelling arrangement that free floats into deft percussion, dreaming and teeming with positive energy.

Tracklist:
A1. All Ages
A2. Afternoon at Bärenquell
B1. Sanders Groove
B2. Soft As Moonlight

It turns out that we've got a bit of a thing for Felix Dickinson here at THUMP. It seems like every so often the curly haired disco dude hovers into view and drops off a clubby care package that we tuck into with what can only be described as "gusto."

You might remember that a few months back we took you on a virtual tour to a no-longer-with-us New York night spot that served up a fantastic musical accompaniment to its allgedely fantastic pasta: La Mangiami!

You'll also remember that the reason we found ourselves writing about a restaurant where DJ Harvey and co served up meatballs and garlic bread to disco-hungry hedonists was that Golf Channel were putting out a compilation of tunes that were riotously low-slung chugging rollers. 

One of those riotously low-slung chugging rollers was "Let Me Rock You" by Dedication, AKA the ongoing collaboration of Japanese musicians and Western singers brought together by producer and DJ Felix Dickinson and Japanese artist Mikey Yamada. 

A piano-heavy cosmic number that rolls on and on into the most gorgeous reaches of the infinite, it's getting a re-release on Paul Murphy's incredible Claremont 56 label later this month. You don't have to wait till the 17th to hear it though, because, look, look down there, you can stream it here! Right now! Do it! Stream, stream, stream!

The third instalment of the Club Duro series comes in strong with a 909 edit of the afro-inspired piece, "La Basse Et Les Shakers", by mysterious french producer Domenique Dumont -part of the excellent Parisian label Antinote. As every Club Duro release, this was produced anonymously by a member of the gang. Enjoy and share the limited free download!
