Klockworks 12 vinyl

Ben Klock's own Klockworks is back with another surprise after last year's Anthony Parasole bombs. Sterac, otherwise known as Steve Rachmad, has been making pulverising techno heart-stoppers for the best part of two decades now, and it only makes sense that his latest concoctions should end up on one of the most iconic Berlin labels of this generation. Like all of the label's output, these are tracks which you can just imagine Klock playing in one of his legendary extended sets at Berghain or throughout the rest of the world. The grooves are tense, the beats stripped to their bare bones, and the melodies minimal and unobtrusive. Functional machine music from the heart of the scene. Don't miss it.
