British producer Kloke appeared in 2008 with a series of forward-thinking post-dubstep releases, before trying his hand at ambient. Now based in Melbourne, he’s switched his focus to jungle, releasing on labels like Future Retro and Diamond Life, as well as collabing with Tim Reaper for a LP on Hyperdub. ‘Lucidity’ arrives via Samurai’s jungle imprint Mindgames and brims with Kloke’s immaculately edited, adventurous beats. On the title cut, dramatic chords precede a drop into layered drum chops, while on ‘The Man Who Began To Suspect He Was Made Of Glass’, mechanoid bass slithers around the metallic breaks like a chrome snake. ‘Odyssey’ is like one of his ambient tracks printed onto a ferocious Amen avalanche. Kloke cleverly balances jungle precepts with fresh ideas on a gem of an LP.
