[MINUS119] Click Box – Match 5 (Official Audio)

Click Box are the Brazilian techno duo who have a long history of association with Minus. As well as playing on plenty of line-ups with fellow label acts, they have also released a number of well-received EPs on the imprint and now return with four new tracks, two of which will be pressed to vinyl, and two additional digital bonuses.

‘Body Fall’ is the opener, and is a dark, brooding track with exacting sound design principles right from the off. A firm beat underpins rattling hi hats and plenty of little FX flesh out the groove, including some fizzing synth stabs and dramatic, echoing claps. It’s the sort of track that bubbles along with out ever boiling over, keeping you locked until right at the end.

The flip is just as stern in its mood, with rattling percussion dissolving into a buried deep in the mix and heavily reverberating bassline. Abstract sound effects drop in and out as the whole thing rumbles along like pure, dark techno should.

The digital bonuses are just as essential: ‘Doubt’ has knackered sounding analogue lines tearing through the mix as housey hits and icy cymbals cut through the thick atmospheres, whilst ‘Brutal Shore’ is a patchwork of drips and clicks, ticks and hits that all come together like a prime after hours joint ready to unhinge your mind.

The Click Box sound is almost mathematical in its precision, meaning their first return to Minus for a while adds up to something really quite special one again.
