inga mauer loves trains. -it s a fantastic chance to be nowhere-, she says. from cologne to clone is, in many ways, a celebration of this nomadic sense of existence. -i don t need a home, only a studio-, she confirms. recorded in a period when inga lived between cologne and rotterdam, home to the famed clone records shop (hence the title), the music on this ep is inspired both by the emptiness you suffer in futile non-places such as airports and the chasm you experiment in majestic scenarios as a russian forest. both by solitary travels and first encounters with machines you always wanted to touch like an 808. six tracks constructed with razor-sharp drum-machines, penetrating synth sequences and estranged vocals. raw sounds that capture the type of clairvoyance that one can only feel when in transit, far from the chains of our comfort zones. from cologne to clone is much more than a train journey. it s an introspective voyage to a beautifully warped soul. a reminder that, in fact, sometimes you only need your self-expression to feel at home.

berlin-based obstacle records returns for its second release with another ep that draws on uk garage heritage while offering its own fresh take via a trio of newer names to watch out for.the ep’s original track comes from lesus - a hitherto unknown name that splices its stripped down ghost-esque rhythmic backbone with an uneasy chiming melody. the a2’s remix from obi - another name to keep track of - retains the pace & 2step stylings of the original while combining it with a chicago house sensibility.on the b side we find two alternate versions from the mysterious prince of ethiopia. the 808 version mutates the track into a old school hip hop instrumental, with the aforementioned 808 sounds to the fore, replete with vocal sampels, record scratches and ray guns. the mt40 version takes those elements, loses the snarling bassline, and pins it all to a broken beat rhythm, once again underlining obstacle’s reverence for uk dance music culture & its desire to push it into surprising new territory.

nick klein and maoupa mazzocchetti recorded some wild jams while touring together last year for an unknown precept label showcase. combining noisy sounds with live melodic synth riffs as well as a jacking 808, klein and mazzocchetti made some harsh left-of-center techno. with time signature and tempo changes mid-track, this music has a zero fucks given attitude. recorded in berlin. hand stamped 7 inches manufactured in the usa. quality music for your soul!
