Track of the Day: Klaus - Neph

Strolling back home through a dusky industrial estate, I remembered an artist long forgotten from my musical memory bank: Klaus. So, putting my headphones on, I plugged into 'Neph' (his follow up from the amazing Tusk EP on R&S).


Lo and behold, the surroundings of the sun bathing gloomy factories and warehouses began to fit with the track. Sparse, skipping basslines intertwined with an echoing piano and saxophone (no Careless Whisper here, thank you) meld the piece into a blissful, warm comedown tinged with an element of sadness.

Nothing more can be said about the genius that is Klaus, merely heard. A man who blends elements of true musicality alongside the piecing together of fragments from the genre-formerly-known-as-dubstep.
