Claro Intelecto ‎– Warehouse Sessions Volume 5

Here is Volume 5 in the Warehouse Sessions series by Claro Intelecto, an awesome series I might add. And what could be better to end a series than actually ending it with one of, if not THE best track of the whole ?

"Momento" is a piece of fine dubby detroit styled techno, classic Claro Intelecto style, with an obsessing, almost off-beat melodic pattern, arpegiated chords, which always go upwards but ultimately just stay in place, in a kind of hypnotic spiral of sharp hihats and metallic sounds...

But the track to go for has to be "Hunt You Down". The track itself has a pretty self-explanatory architectural construction, built on layers of ungoing beat patterns, along with some humming and growling metallic sheets of backwards textured noises. But the simplicity just enhances the track's power : the build up is like a Maurizio 'M' track, going on and on, driving on an endless road, to a climax that will just never happen. The track is a hunt, the chords are behind you, ready to catch you if you stop running for a second, but they will never manage to. And the chase goes on, in a blend of awesome sound textures, and will eventually let you here all sweaty, after ten minutes of pure quality dub techno. The scientific precision applied to the drum programming and the delays timing is just insanely perfect that it drives me mad just listening to it.

A record you must own. Just for the sake of having "Hunt You Down" on vinyl, it's worth the price you put in it.
