Hökarängen Space Program EP by Cloud

If the first part of the title looks to you like a name from the IKEA brochure, you’re on the right track. But don’t worry, I’m not going to write about furniture… 

Cloud is the nickname of Alexander Berg, a talented producer coming from Gothenberg in Sweden. From the beginning of his career (at least according to Dicogs) he is releasing his work on a british label called Exceptional. Around February they’ve release a 2-tracked EP called Hökarängen Space Program, which has been brought to my attention by Crowdpleaser, who’s put together a nice mix featuring one of the tracks (Sakta) from this EP.

So what’s on the release? The above mentioned Sakta, which is fantastic minimal techy track, which is a combination of some punchy staccato synth played over some nicely laid pads. The productions sounds raw but not dirty and definitely makes you head shake. The Grid is a lot softer around the edges with a touch of a vocal sample plucked lead and some great sounding Asian instrument in the break. Both tracks are highly addictive so get your wallet ready. Enough non-sense now, listen to the previews.
