Innershades

Slapping new beat and trance sounds that genuinely capture the spirit of Belgian clubs in the late 80s and early 90s. Innershades wears their influences openly here - records from R&S, Music Man, USA Import and Antler Subway all pulse through these cuts - but there's no pastiche in the execution. This is a proper homage, built on the skeletal grooves and acid synth lines that made that era so vital.

Clone Jack For Daze continues its roving brief to dig up and reimagine the deeper histories of electronic dance music. Homage 2 sits comfortably alongside that mission: acid-laced techno that recalls the raw energy of early 90s Belgian sound without disappearing into nostalgia. The tracks move with purpose, letting the drums breathe and the synths cut through clean. For anyone who's spent time with those foundational records and wants to hear them filtered through a contemporary ear, this lands exactly right.
