Clearlight – Circular Thinking – 12 Vinyl

Belgian producer Clearlight provides three examples of experimental, meditative yet bass-heavy and dancefloor-suitable tracks. “Circular Thinking” is a tribal track with a shamanic feel. The incessant triplets’ drum groove and the multitude of organic elements and sound FXs takes the listener through a journey, topped by a sinister psychedelic vocal sample. “Jata” retains the tribal feel while fusing reggae and dub-influenced horns and samples. The driving percussion beat vanishes throughout the breakdown, and unpredictably evolves into a oneiric carillon-lead outro. Finnish prodigy LAS re-thinks “Circular Thinking” into a syncopated dancefloor weapon.
