Review: Lone - Cluster Dreams EP
Nottingham hip-hop producer Lone is– to use a well worn phrase– “on some other shit.” Better known as Matt Cutler, the former Kids in Tracksuits beatmaker has shed the confines of conventional hip-hop to focus on big beats, inspired analogue synth-play and other-worldly album concepts. Following on from August’s long player The Lemurian, Cluster Dreams is a limited vinyl and download EP which does more of the same. Massively staggered drums and washy keys are a mainstay throughout these four exotica-tinged instrumentals, which include the pounding 80s groove of Fly Fire Rainbow and a wonderfully meditative remix of Midnight Feast by Bibio. Sounds like: Martin Denny in a blender!
Cluster Dreams is out January 2009 on Dealmaker Records.
