"New Zealand's 2 headed monster Chaos In The CBD blesses the dancefloor with this 3 track number, working like the heavy House music soundtrack to a clubbing journey... picture yourself, puffin on a zip with the Dark Knight, cruising down the streets of Detroit, pumping the Batmobile’s sound system on the way to a secret location... you're on "Rolling 84's". That secret spot is the filthy atmosphere of a strip club's parking lot. All cars are wide open, dropping that "Slab" beat. Trippin' on purple drank, you're surrounded by all types of freaks poppin silly moves... then robocops suddenly bust out from every corner. You steal the batmobile to escape (who never dreamed about that one!), knowing that you carry all kinds of grime in the back... that so called "Trunk Music"! Nah, you better not get caught, the adrenaline gets you raring, driving you safe through the alleys of Bass Music city till the break of dawn. Damn, Chaos should be in Hollywood!"

Paris is back and it’s no longer pumping to the filtered sound of disco house. Instead, a ‘90s generation have come of age born into the shadow of Mathieu Kassovitz’s classic film, La Haine. A world of internal tensions cracking the ground for new shoots to appear from a vibrant street culture that’s en Seine in the membrane, raised as much on global bass and hiphop’s freakiest mutations as the distant orbit of Chicago and Detroit. You can hear it in the music of ClekClekBoom, the Paris-based label which began in 2007 as a website releasing baile funk from Rio’s favelas but now serves up its own home-grown ghetto grooves.
You can buy the vinyl from the SoundCloud page.

French Fries is back for a third outing on his own label with a new 3-track EP demonstrating a more experimental side to Paris’ ghetto mastermind producer. A-side "Everything" features flanged percussion, vast, atmospheric strings and a stumbling, Detroit acid bass used as a Pulse. The first B-side, "White Screen", is a Chicago style 909 jam complete with rapid-fire hats and techno stabs driven along by piercing claps laden with old-school, 80s-era, reverb. The final tune, "D’Angelo", sees French Fries slow the tempo and bring together rippling atmospherics, a "Yo Vogue" style bassline and washed-out synths for this Detroit-inspired, double B-side homage to The Wire’s D’Angelo Barksdale... Let the boy be. Through a shrewd combination of experimentalism, uncompromising bass-weight and French Fries’ now renowned clarity of sound, this is EP is sure to be found in a wide-range of record bags.

To bring you the 8th release, CLEKCLEKBOOM searched far and wide for the elusive Jean Nipon. Their journey took them to the shadowy depths of mystic swamps from where this modern-day druid had to be carefully coaxed into the studio. But trust-us, it was well worth the effort!On his first release for CLEKCLEKBOOM, the Institubes original showcases 3 tracks of hard-hitting, deftly-produced, dance-floor menace. “Put It In The Trunk” combines cascading percussion, disturbingly nonchalant vocal snippets and deep, propulsive, subs. With “Black Things On Desk” Jean Nipon employs unnervingly detuned vocal samples woven into irresistibly pulsating, punchy percussion. The final tune, “35 Thieves” sees our enigmatic wizzard drop subtle snatches of melody in amongst a grooving beat which, as ever, strikes the perfect balance between toughness and delicacy.CCB008 is certain to tear apart dance-floors everywhere with its heavy-hitting, baleful beats. But like any unknown quantity, handle with caution.
