The second release on Moteer's Mobeer label is by Then Dof (Jonny from Clickits)and it is an intriguing little 3" CD of dub drenched, sparse organic sounding electronics. Lots of little details, clicks and pops with an ethereal quality. The percussion is nice and wooden sounding. Track 4 is particularly melancholy with a real introspective feel. You can almost sing along to the fifth track with its infectious little thing happening and lush use of effects. Pretty cool disc in sealed envelope with beermat and bloody limited and all. Oh and you get a thing where you can download 5 extra tracks.mobeer::002

hot(ish) on the heels of mobeer number one comes, predictably, mobeer number two. gone is the superstar remix policy of the first release, replaced instead by jonny russell one half of east lancashires second most succsessful electronica duo, clickits. for this release russell has adopted the then dof moniker and conclusively proves that a move away from accrington to the artististic rockpool of the cornish coast has done nothing to diminish his sombre electronic impulses.
russell once went into the office of moteers uk distibutors demanding the remaining copies of the clickits debut 12'' so that he could burn them. he was serious. if that doesn't make you buy this 3'' cd of seefeel meets prime skam via whoever on valium under a table or something then nothin will.
act quick ltd to 225 copies housed on a 3'' cd placed on artworked beermats in a hand printed and cut paper sleeve and then popped into a individually stamped wages envelope, the other one sold out in a weekend.

Brilliant stuff, both inside and outside - the packaging is an art piece and the music is a real pleasure for the ears. Surprising and creative.
