Clara Moto, Silently Remixes

The original of Clara Moto’s “Silently” was not exactly slept on upon it’s release, but then it didn’t quite receive the praise it was rightfully due. The producer, aided by the vocal talents of Austrian singer Mumi, created an unforgettable techno pop song near the end of last year that weaved bitter and sweet into a filigree of danceable moment. The groove of the backing track would be enough to sway a steadfast, stock-still trainspotter on its own but the vocal exemplifies it further with it’s lilting emotional candour. The original EP offered three further tracks and three different sides of the little known producer, ranging from trippy, emotional house on “Hiding In the Bottom Drawer” to the raw, clipped, poker faced groove of “Sancy Cat” and the achingly beautiful “Hazel,” sounding for all the world like a lost Peter Kersten record. I imagine the remix release a good year after the original serves to remind listeners of what a startling record they missed out on first time around.

Construction aside, it’s […]
