Ministre X is back again on his own label, ClekClekBoom, to supply Paris’ house & bass haven’s with its 14th official release. After his lush, club friendly debut ‘Calling Me’ Ministre has teamed up with long-time affiliate, the Parisian pianist and self-proclaimed dandy, Mattias Mimoun under the moniker ‘Aethority’. Put together over late-night sessions in the ClekClekBoom studio, the Aethority EP draws from wide variety of influences, both in and outside of dance music, for a weighty and unique double track release. A-side ‘Niceness’ uses a percussive blend of tricked out field recordings and samples to create a shuffling, dub-techno vibe before the drums drain away to make way for a lush, rippling synth which excitedly builds once again before the drums drop back in. B-side ‘Get Busy’, the first track the pair produced together, combines a classic UK garage style vocal, scuttling hats and an ominous, analog textured synth line before a beefy acid-dripping bassline drops in, enhancing the groove.
The pair is already back in the studio readying new material for release so be ready for more original, bustling dancefloor grooves. To be released on both vinyl & digital. More
