Also on the electronic tip is the new CD from the Moteer stable by EL FOG. I think these are Japanese but I have cock al info on 'em to substantiate this aside from what my battered memory can recall from a phone call. here we have a CD called Reverberate Slowly which is very minimal clicky electronica with a healthy dub thing going on. The bass sounds fantastic in it in fact. The whole thing ends up sounding like how Pole used to sound.... minimal clicky dubby tech electronica. Pleasing for sure.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

The latest release from the Moteer family, 'Reverberate Slowly' is a smoky collection of gorgeous late-night dub miniatures
from mysterious Berlin-based producer El Fog. Sounding at times like a less academic Jan Jelinek or a hopelessly innocent
Rhythm and Sound; deceptively complex click, hiss and pop rhythms are used to underpin a series of minimal elements
(rhodes and vibraphone tones, sleepy acoustic guitar, samples of piano and double bass) that slowly resonate through each
track, quietly pulsing and reverberating as suggested by the album's evocative title. Opening track 'Mountain Dub' sets the
tone, and as a simple keyboard phrase is repeated over vinyl crackles and low throbs you are drawn effortly into the murky
vapour. This is further explored with 'Silent Soaring' and 'El Cloud' which both consolidate the misty mood, building a complex
mesh of rhythms from soft clicks and pops while never descending into mindless digital manipulation. It is this human aspect
that gives 'Reverberate Slowly' its beating heart, and makes it such an appropriate release on the fast-growing Moteer
Catalogue. Unlike so many albums in the genre it has a fragile personality and many layers to uncover on each subsequent
listen. 'Reverberate Slowly' is a totally seductive listening experience and like a candlelit supper with that special someone, it
won't fail to draw you into its moonlit night-time mood.
