The name might conjure connotations of detached, impersonal precision. But one dive into Klinical’s devilishly deep, sub-loaded bass holes and you’ll appreciate the irony. The warmth and weight on his stripped-yet-supersized constructions is far from impersonal, it’s so palpable you feel you can grab it by the handful as it oozes from the speakers.
There’s a lot to grab, too. Since emerging in earnest in 2017 he’s honed his minimal signature on the likes of Lifestyle, Diamond Audio, Overview, Skankandbass and, as of this week, Context Audio with his two latest wounders: the purring, planet bonding M2U and the stark steppy slap-about Validity. Neatly plotting his breadth while pressing his glacial bootprint even deeper into the genre, it’s another on point document from a Wiltshire based artist who’s deep in the thick of the exciting new generation D&B movement right now.
