- Klockworks gets another diverse EP heavy on big tunes with ROD's Klockworks 19. But as with many of the label's releases, the most effective cuts aren't the hardest ones. ROD's knack for slick sounds means the best tracks have an interesting flair that doesn't come from sheer intensity. The highlights, "Pull" and "Dubix," are the EP's most straightforward tracks, but could easily do the most damage. "Pull" is the EP's trippiest cut, with delicate looped synths that create a mood that's disorienting and spooky. "Dubix" is similarly stripped-down, and also based on the repetition of a simple effects-laden synth. Claps and a shaker give it a sense of progression that's absent in the more idle "Pull."
The EP's other tracks are in-your-face. "Hor" is the kind of a big room rave tune that Ben Klock, Klockworks' founder, needs most weekends these days. It feels over the top compared to the classier "Pull" and "Dubix," but DJs with a big crowd in front of them will be happy to find it in their bag. "Nitecollage" is an electro track with a broken beat and a searing-hot synth riff, but will be harder to place than Klockworks 19's more versatile options.
