a French Fries – Everything b1 French Fries – White Screen b2 French Fries – D’Angelo Off the back of his second club-shaking EP for CVS’s DirtyBird imprint, Paris’ ghetto mastermind producer is back for his 3rd outing on his own label ClekClekBoom. After dropping their inaugural release, the stellar ‘Champagne/Hugz (ft. Bambounou)’, at the end of 2011 it seems fitting that French Fries return to kick-off 2013 with the label’s 9th release.A-side ‘Everything’ brings together flanged percussion, vast, atmospheric strings and a stumbling Detroit acid bass used in as a Pulse. The first B-side, ‘White Screen’ is a Chicago style 909 jam complete with rapid-fire hats and techno stabs driven by piercing claps laden with old-school 80s-era reverb. The final tune, ‘D’Angelo’, sees French Fries slow the tempo and bring together rippling atmospherics, a ‘Yo Vogue’ style bassline and washed-out synths for this Detroit-inspired, double B-side homage to The Wire’s D’Angelo Barksdale… Let the boy be.The use of bold, futuristic effects and percussive subtleties combined with an astute aptitude for clarity and fullness of sound makes for yet another destructive French Fries and ClekClekBoom EP. This shrewd blend of experimentalism and dancefloor bass-weight means CCB009 is likely to turn up in a wide range of record bags.
