All Clear

Clear was a short lived UK label specializing in future electro and jazzish IDM that just about blew my mind in 1995. harboring early works from luminaries such as Global Communications, μ-Ziq, Autechre, Matthew Herbert, Acen, Kirk Degiorgio, Morgan Geist, etc. made Clear a mecca for fans of electronic music. here is a 20th anniversary mix to pay homage to one of my favorite labels. long live Clear.

Electro Superstructure no. 34

as soon as the sound hits your eardrum you are drawn into a superstructure made of electricity and webbed drum patterns. it’s immenseness swallows you instantly and as you flow through it’s sonic skeleton you get lost amid the inner depths. inevitably to float out the other side into the silence of space.

Electro Superstructure no. 19

entering the superstructure you sense it’s vastness as synths and robot voices endlessly float by, bouncing in mechanic rhythm off mammoth walls made of drum machine snares, girders of bass and tensile hi hats. the further in you go the more things abstract; sound clusters in corners and beats run on forever into the light.
