A mainstay of the Second State label, Michael Klein’s back catalog has now expanded to include 11releases with the Berlin imprint. ‘Golden Hour’ is a classic high-energy and versatile contribution from Klein, with 5 mesmerizing techno tracks.

Opener and title track ‘Golden Hour’ kicks off with strong synergy between the kick, bass, and percussion. Moving & rising at controlled pace, Klein brings in off-kilter keys and a smooth arpeggio. Next up is ‘VoiceInterrupt’ which uses twisted melodies and pitch distortions to create a tense but energetic energy. Minimal shakers and a solitary hi-hat add texture to the track whilst keeping the arrangements tight and bouncy. ‘InMy Own Eyes’ starts off minimal and subdued, with a rotary synth that eventually breaks through and takes command. Subtle industrial elements are used but hidden under shakers, coming to the forefront during a brief interlude of the main synth-line.

Following is ‘Howlip’ with a uniform kick, hi-hat, and a jagged synth combo that dance menacingly throughout. A sample of the cut’s name chimes in at varied volumes, at times battling against the main groove and recurring electro-twinged synth. A driving and peak-time dance-floor weapon. The finale of the EP ‘One Eyed Master’ is dominated by piping, high-frequency keys that bubble under the main kick, and sharp single hi-hat. Varying in intensity as the track drives on, the keys create a dystopian yet uneasy atmosphere. Klein again plays with the balance of percussion and pitch to manipulate the mood created in the track, an obvious theme and technique applied throughout the EP.

Isomero Dreams

The Crypt EP marks the seventh release from Beaufort Beats, with owner Rob Lewis providing three groove based tracks for the dance floors. The lead track utilises a pensive lead line to create those moments of deep dance floor contemplation that practiced ravers relish. Lost Episodes really changes the pace from sweetly melancholy to more ‘punch you in the face’ kind of track with hard hitting, snare slapping drops at the forefront of attention. trip IN OUT ties the EP together with a rolling bass line, a bizarre lead line that weaves in and out of the track as time goes on and questionable vocals from Rob. Writing each track as it’s own musical piece, these ideas were only compiled together as an EP well after they were all completed, but hold strong together as they demonstrate stylistic choices opted by Rob.
