Chloe At Juno Download

Review: The sassy French DJ delivers one of her most assured releases yet for Ellen Allien's label. The title track is powered by heavy, bassy licks and hissing rivulets of percussion, as well as subtle flourishes, like the pitch-bent hats that fold in on themselves midway through before promptly disappearing again. However, it's "Chatterbox" that will win most attention here, with Chloe chopping up vocals over a niggling acid groove. As the arrangement progresses, the vocals morph into strange bleepy tones, which lend the track the kind of lost it feeling that many producers strive for but rarely achieve. The whooshing reverb and shuffling drums of "The Shift" complete the package.
