Clokx - Tibet [Liquid Recordings]

22:23 - November 2, 2005

by Watts

Clokx makes their appearance back on Liquid Recordings not so long since their last release, 'Feelings'. What can you expect from the latest Clokx production - 'Tibet'...?

A: Tibet (Original Mix)
The Original Mix of 'Tibet' doesn't sound immediately like a Clokx production right at the start, but it soon begins to take on a familiar style. We have a great rolling bassline which is thick and deep yet not overpowering and the trademark super-crisp percussion. Some reverbed synth hits and backing pads are used to build things up into a really smooth and flowing track, sailing swiftly towards the big Clokx style breakdown, which is key to the entire track, really. The first half of the breakdown is where, presumptuously, the track gets its name. Its a short vocal section sung in another language by a mixture of males and females - I'm guessing this is Tibetan in nature or origin, answers on a postcard. Anyway, its backed by some soft pads and the overall mood this creates is tranquil and calm - kind of uplifting in a mellow and gentle way. The second half of the breakdown is where we hear the track's main hook. It's short and fairly simple and is played by a reverbed and filtered synth which shares some similarities to previous Clokx lead synths. But on the whole it's fresh and is a welcome new sound. The general feeling this track exudes is a good one, and I reckon this one will do a lot of crowd pleasing.

B1: Tibet (Vocal Dub)
The Vocal Dub of 'Tibet' is a strange beast. For a start, it has less vocal sections than the Original did (yes, just 1, as the Original only had 2). Anyway, the bassline is a little more active than before and there are some more prominent elements built into the percussion. On the whole this one is more active and energetic than the Original. There's a techy element which is implemented via stabs of a coarse synth which is more akin to the Clokx style we're used to hearing. After the vocal break, the track basically powers back up into full gear with the techy synths and rolling bass leading the way. Great for the tougher occasions!

B2: Tibet (Dub Mix)
Now the Dub Mix of 'Tibet' is the same as the Vocal Dub except for the fact that the short vocal section in the break is missing. The only other thing to note about this is that at the point where the vocal came in in the Vocal Dub, the Dub Mix echoes out into a second or two of silence and then kicks back in with a beaty second intro. This is interesting because it might fool some people (and perhaps unsuspecting DJs?!) into thinking that the track just finished. Quite cheeky and cunning! Still, pick this one if you don't want the vocals, but I think they do a great deal for the tune when they're there.

Conclusion:
More top tuneage from Clokx. The slight change in style is very good and makes for a smooth melodic journey or a contrastingly techy trip depending on which side you choose to play. Check this one out!
