kloke: first light

The Sub Squared label presents an EP by Kloke, a Melbourne-based producer who captures the atmosphere and vibe of a variety of his native Britain's forms of electronic music without merely rehashing past genres: jungle, dubstep, grime, ambient and techno are distilled into his original but familiar soundscapes. On the first side the tracks are beat-driven; two tracks with distorted drum machine at 120bpm providing the bones for reflective harmonic and melodic parts that are reminiscent of jungle or breakbeat hardcore. The second side is a mini-album in itself; 17 minutes of beatless music in three tracks.
