Late September marks the arrival on the second edition of Unclear Records ‘A Tribute To Klang Club’ featuring Move D, Fred P, Christopher Rau and label-heads Easy To Remember.

The Unclear Records imprint has carved out quite the reputation over the past few years with an already impressive back catalogue featuring material from Juju + Jordash, Rick Wade, Gigi Masin and Gerry Read. Here thought we see the welcome return of the labels ‘A Tribute To Klang Club’ series with its second contribution, following the inaugural various artists package that boasted material from Baby Ford, Roman Fluegel and more.

Move D opens with ‘Rise!’ and delivers a typically brooding, hypnotic number before Fred P follows up with ‘Lush Life’ laying down raw acidic bass and ethereal pads alongside shuffled rhythms.
On the flip Christopher Rau’s ‘Unclear Joint’ ups the energy levels via weighty drums and intricate use of string, bass and vocal samples before label-heads Easy To Remember round off the package with ‘I Don’t Know’ a stripped back house cut led by sparse percussion, jazzy synth licks and soft pads.

The original mix of title-track ‘Night Walk’ takes the lead on the package with stuttering acidic bass hits, smooth airy pad lines floating amidst field recordings atmospherics and dusty drums before ‘Planets’ follows and takes things down a more dance floor focused path with upfront broken rhythms, fluttering pad swells and spiraling echoed synth stabs.

The label welcomes UK duo Jordan Bruce and Larry Jones aka Yard One, who make their debut following support from the likes of Gunnar Haslam, Anthony Parasole and Bambounou, and a series of releases and remixes on Diffuse Reality and their own Tact Recordings imprint. The EP also features a remix from Italian DJ/producer Simoncino, who’s catalogue includes releases on esteemed labels L.I.E.S, Crème Organization and Mathematics Recordings.

Title cut ‘Karman Line’ elegantly eases listeners into the EP with an combination of stylish chords coupled with blossoming multi-layered melodies, before Italy’s Simoncino delivers his alternative, with driving kicks, crisp snares and an entrancing lead line all combining to deliver an altogether darker and moodier affair. 
On the flip, ‘Journey To The Border’ incorporates a smooth blend of organic percussion patterns, delicate pads and interjecting glitches and pops throughout it’s near seven-minute duration, whilst blossoming DJ/producer and vocalist Maya Schenk lays down a series of hypnotic vocals over rich synth lines and entrancing swells on ‘Yen’.

Here we see the trio joining the roster of Unclear Records slotting them alongside Move D, Fred P, Christopher Rau and Roman Fluegel on the
roster.
The ‘House Mix’ of ‘Real Name’ takes the lead on the package, fusing dusty drum sounds, vacillating pad sequences and a stab led bass line alongside loops of Mike Anderson’s spoken word vocal lines.
The ‘Acid Mix’ follows and as the name would suggest lays focus on frenzied 303 lines alongside energy fuelled 808 rhythms before the ‘Techno Mix’ closes, taking things into even darker realms via rumbling low-end flutters, expansive reverb bursts and dynamic stab hits.

Berlin based producer Black Loops steps in to remix the title-track next, offering a more reduced interpretation led by breaksy drums and rumbling subs whilst the original’s vocal line and dreamy arps float within.

The second original from Easy To Remember, ‘I’m Gonna Get You Raymond’ closes the release, seeing the pair opt for chuggy square wave bass hits, spiraling resonant synth licks and warbling chord sequences alongside crunchy percussion and film like voice phrases to create a funk-infused house workout.
