Clark drops his excellent new album. Don’t expect the lullabies and emotional epics of the last album Body Riddle, Turning Dragon is a smasher. Hard, deep, continuously evolving and gritty tracks, aimed at contorting your body on the dancefloor or just contorting your brain. This is an album that you could almost call techno, but techno with the a.d.d. detail pushed as far as it can go.

Turning Dragon, a reaction to Body Riddle, is without a doubt influenced by his relentless touring schedule, spending many nights in sweaty rave dens and sleek European clubs with his MPC, and in Turning Dragon we see him put down acoustic instrumentation (a big feature in his recent work) and naturally drawn to experimenting with a harder, more immediate sound.
