Sterac - Klockworks 12

  • Share
  • Ben Klock's fabric mix is the gift that keeps on giving. After his edit of Josh Wink's "Are You There" hit wax in April, now we get the release of Sterac's "Rotary." The track seems like it was tailored for a Klock set: its slight bounce and pumping chords have the same fluid motion that he taps into with his DJ sets. Stir in marching tom rolls and some heady filtering, and it's the most memorable thing Rachmad has released in some time. With its two-note organ riff and sinewy synths, "Track 2" is more expressive than its counterparts—it's the only thing here with the emotive quality we associate with Sterac. The other two are spartan bangers. "In Circles" has one of those shuddering sheet metal riffs and not a whole lot else outside of some delay effects. "Scheepsrecht" is a marathon sprint based on a percolating percussive lead and some heavily sustained organ notes that ratchet up the tension. These simpler moments might leave you lusting after the dynamism of "Rotary," but it's hard to imagine any four tracks working better for a Klockworks release than these.
