The Honorable DJ Clent
May 2nd, 2012 by HenryThe UK’s fledgling Blank Mind label is prepping for its sophomore release, BLNK002: The Honorable DJ Clent The Low-End Legend, to be released on vinyl in late May. The record is a crate-digging repress of a couple late 90′s Juke classics from Chicago footwork pioneer, DJ Clent. The flagship track from the release,”3rd World,” which appeared on Clent’s first 12″ released by Dance Mania Records, has an almost eerie synth-horn line coupled with the syncopated claps and low end toms that define the Tek sound. The B-side of the EP goes just as hard, hinging on the track’s catchy namesake hook (“hit it from the back!”) and a beat that dodges between a juke triplet feel and straight four-on-the-floor house kick. The EP is an easily approachable crash course in the history of the Chicago Juke sound and an exciting release for the new label.
Vintage Video: Acen
