about

Clavis return to Freerange for their fourth release which sees the German duo of Manuel Tur and Adrian Hoffmann come correct once again on the Boyd EP. With a killer Andhim remix under their belts, a remix of Ane Brun for André Hommen’s These Eyes label and exclusive track (as side project Amberoom) for Innervisions next Secret Weapons imminent the Clavis boys are continuing to build steam nicely. Their knack for producing atmospheric floor pleasers has led to studio production work for Tensnake and Tale Of Us as well as countless spins from the likes of Dixon, Ame and
Solomun.

With the Boyd EP we see a departure from the deep Afro-inspired electronic grooves of previous releases, pushing in a raw, stripped-back direction tailor made for sweaty basements and warehouse parties. The title track works a classic DX7 bass sound into the main hook which bounces around euphoric piano stabs and floating FX. Their production skills displayed in the way that there is just enough space for all elements to shine through on a big system but with enough sonic trickery to take it way beyond a basic DJ tool.

Things get a little more twisted on Floyd, where Clavis push their analogue machines to the sonic limits with hints of acid and Italo coming to the fore on this dubby yet driving synth workout.

On their own Floyd Remix the Italo elements are highlighted and developed creating a more musical version, a chiming melody and snaking bassline adding extra harmonic interest and resulting in a beautiful and mesmerising finale to what we feel is their most accomplished release yet.
