- The first of four releases by Klartraum in 2014, E1's five tracks sally between sun-dappled deep house and wistful techier numbers. "Tiger Ride" is a trip into the dark heart of the rainforest, corralling together exotic bird chants, throbbing synths and gurgling bass. Shafts of light break through on "Sweetness"—electric pianos afford it a Balearic quality. Encircled by drums that pop like a broth on a low heat, it has more than of a touch of Jam & Spoon's classic "Stella" about it.
"Mirage" returns to darker recesses, transported by muted percussion, swollen synths and dub techno-style drops, before the EP's only bum note, "Shy Guy," a loping electro-reggae skank. "Tiger Ride" is then revisited, the core of the track remaining all but intact, but with a menacing new front section of wonky, diabolic piano.
