Hope for the Future [CLIPP198] by Charleeps

Charleeps returns to clipp.art with her debut EP “Hope for the Future''. Following an appearance on our “SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD TIME III” in 2020 with the song Matabiau, and cuts for Happiness Theory and Les Disques Du Lobby, “Hope for the Future'' delivers 3 cohesive cuts of raw electronica, delving into the depths of ambient, acid, breakbeat and leftfield. Epic title track “Hope for the Future'' cuts a before and after figure, containing nostalgic nods to the past with swirling strings and St Germain-esque piano delays, before tumbling into a 303 groove hole that propels the entire release forward. It’s one of several looking back to look forward moments found on the EP. “Cosmic Rain” delivers a low fidelity exploration of analog archetypes via scrolling 3D corridors of Parisian Acid House - like an endless video game scrolling loop for 90s inspired French ravers. “Step by Step” closes the tribal rave circuit with a Junglish acid assault on the frontal lobe. Moroccan sunrise vocals and staccato stabs never go astray. The whole release could be easily described best as a Roland branded time machine sinking into an oceanic Acid sunset, and speaks volumes of hope for the future of this new French talent.
