MOC 018EP
|
Italian sound designer Roberto Clementi steps up on Made Of Concrete with BNJMN on remix duties. Standout track "Plebiscite" makes a statement from the first bar with a pounding bassline. It's a peak-time heavy-hitter. BNJMN puts on his remixer hat to take on the leading track, adding an ethereal dimension through evocative pads and percussive rattles. "Evocate" is dark and minimalist with a simple lead and eerie-laden somber sequences. Acid-laced "Cription" spells techno in a more experimental, non-kickdrum reliant manner. It's a refreshing take on the genre in a piece that is reminiscent of early rave days.

Roberto Clementi delivers his Cadmio EP, containing four original tracks from the Italy-based artist. Kenneth Christiansen's Echo Echo imprint offers up its fifth release here, accurately reflecting his appetite for the more celestial, dubbed-out side of techno. This release sees the return of Clementi to the Echo platform after three releases on the parent imprint, Echocord plus ten years' worth of released music to his name, notably a number of EP's and an album on Soma (N Lights (SOMA 106CD, 2014)).

PETS 075EP
|
Pets Recordings start 2017 with a techno maestro: Roberto Clementi. It begins with "Avesys": its dubby warmth, rippling rhythmic elements, and patient percussive builds, don't just mark the perfect tone and timbre of an on-point take off set, but also trigger the whole full-spectrum, deep space EP concept. "Voschod" follows with a one-way trip into space, exploring the lesser-told half of the '60s space race and the Russian's second wave spacecraft trips. "Landing A Man" spins the listener into gravity-free stasis with a historic homage to Kennedy's ambition to land a man on the moon.

SOMA 106CD
|
After a string of releases through Soma, the label is pleased to present the debut album from Italian DJ/producer Roberto Clementi. Roberto first came to Soma's attention through a series of very slick demos and it was clear from the outset that this was a producer who not only had a grasp of the modern underground techno movement but one who also appreciated the finer things that can be found in electronic music. Hailing from a remote, beautiful area of Southern Italy, Roberto's background and culture has shaped him as a producer, elements which he uses to fill his music with depth and emotion. For Roberto, every track has a background, a story, and through his use of organic grooves and well-defined melodies he allows each individual listener to experience their own interpretation of his music. With the opening pads of "Your Turn," Roberto sets the tone of the album; deep, grooving and brought to life with electronic feeling. He keeps a steady hand as tracks like "Lei," "Subavia," and "Receed" keep the opening dubby vibes of the album in tow while still retaining a dancefloor appeal. The slo-mo electronics of "Obscuria" swell perfectly in the middle of this album, its sluggish subs and tweaking synths breaking the mold. Normal service resumes quickly as "When Love Clashes" (already a previous hit on Soma) and "Untime" come hurtling in. The latter, probably one of Roberto's most grooving tracks, pulses with dubbed-out synths and chugging drums, making for perfect peak-time action. It's at this point Robert brings us slowly out of his universe. The eerie and resonating "Visceral," while ominous, alludes to that light at the end of every tunnel, as percussive keys flash through the cavernous low-end. The stepping "Agile" glistens with perfectly chopped and arranged vocal cuts that lend themselves intuitively to the beat. Jazzy keys with spring-like synths brighten this track from the core, eventually drifting into the ether. At the end of his journey, Roberto closes with the incandescent "At the Fruit." Stuttering beats and otherworldly bass are flanked by beautifully improvised keys tripped-out with space-like FX, tying the album together under his full spectrum of production techniques. Roberto has crafted a very unique and self-exploratory body of work with N Lights, one that has come together with faultless ease.
