Review

Oriol Benedet confirms with The Clown the good expectations he raised with Genetica, his debut with this label. Benedet, a studio virtuoso and professional technician, exploits in his second maxi the infinite possibilities of today’s virtual samplers. The Clown is a piece of work that does not rely on pre-established sounds. It is a lesson about the creative potential of the machines. The Clown With roaring dynamics, Benedet opens the maxi with a palpitating drum bass, dry and clean. As the beats develop, the pounding techno makes way for the melodic subtleties of trance, whilst clicks and other crafty sounds appear almost unnoticeable. And this is when The Clown develops into a hypnotic and endless mix of harmonies, groove and beats. Ensaimada Remix Joachim Spieth, celebrated artist of the Kompakt team, remixes Benedet’s track with that feeling of twisted ambient techno so typical of Cologne. The remix develops with broken beats and melodic sparks, with an exquisitely chaotic symmetry. Ensaimada Benedet exploits in Ensaimada his most technical and intuitive side. He squeezes the pluggings of his computer to create suggestive rustles, abrupt resonances and abstract melodies. Ensaimada exudes old school techno, where the exploration of sound is compatible with, and complementary to, the hedonism of the nightclub. Maxi after maxi, step by step, Galaktika is becoming the object of desire of many stars of the electronica. Its catalogue of only eleven references is filled with great collaborations and best moments.
