Maybe because autumn appears to have come early here, I find myself in a
sort a mood for Kit Clayton stuff (just my own personal association.) Anyone
on here who isn't familiar with his stuff, I'd recommend you check it out.

Personally, I don't think I've ever heard a poor Kit Clayton track, and I
know I'm not the only own who thinks that whilst he's not from (or "for" ;-)
Detroit, his music has an edge with which people who like 'Detroit'
electronic music, can find an affinity. (For instance Juan Atkins used "Belt
Frictional Problem" some years back on a mix cd.)

His style seems primarily 'dubby' (dubby in a techno sense that is). But it
ranges from crystal clear, highly structured arrangements which (for me)
seem to put the intelligence back into 'IDM', to seriously browned-out,
blatantly toking delay-fests. (Did you know, for instance that a Kit Clayton
track holds the first ~scape catalogue number? It's sc 001 for 'Nek
Purpalet'.

Happy discovering for anyone who hasn't yet.
