Professor Kliq - Movement EP (2010)
/Digital funk, Breakcore, Hip-hop, Electro pop, Electronic pop, Electro-tech, Crossover, Hardstep/
Comment: This is a "hard" album in many senses. Indeed, it is not easy to categorize it and get the initial sense from it. This Chicago-based resident used to repeat in the second track All Control (Hard Version) too that they have lost all the control. (Do they have it actually?) No doubt, the album is the sort of grower, revealing its machinery - first of all, regarding those highly energized, cadence-relied skeletons - with each following listening. It seizes the machine-alike structures of brooding hardstep and rusty breakcore music, bug-filled digital funk (Work At Night - an outstanding moment on it), determined hip-hop, and sampledelic progressions.
