Track Of The Day: Ovatow - Flame (Harbour City Sorrow)


One of my favourite electro tracks. The work of Klen, aka Ovatow, on the sadly defunct Harbour City Sorrow, this is abstract by default, yet it’s not. What it sound like is a signal from a distant galaxy. The beats are coherent, but everything else feels like a dissonant fabrication. “The record is dedicated to the loss of South Rotterdam based DJ Juvenile Jay, who played an important role in the early career of . . . . Klen . . . “ It’s a brilliant evocation of the febrile transmissions that inhabit the space between all levels of consciousness, and which, in this case, are as at home on the dance floor as the headspace. Incredibly imaginative.
