by Sean CooperAlthough the London-based Clear label kicked off its now celebrated catalog of releases with singles from a range of widely known talent (Reload/Global Communication, Mike Paradinas/µ-Ziq, Acen, and Plaid), they were also quick to cultivate a homegrown stable of lo-fi innovators, including Matthew Dr. Rockit Herbert and David Clatterbox Kempston. Like Herbert, whose singles and remixes as Wishmountain (for Universal Language) and under his own name (for Phono, Reflective, and SSR, among others) have mined the more pedestrian capacities of the sampler, Clatterboxs sound is reliant on a sort of refined, left-field minimalism. With tracks often composed of only three or four loops judiciously arranged, Kempstons work occasionally suffers for its simplicity. But as with early hip-hop producers such as Man Parrish, the Unknown DJ, and Pretty Tony Butler, Kempstons aesthetic forces him to make a little go a long way, often to marvelous effect. Its hip-hop and electro from which Kempston most often draws, of course, but unlike many of the electro nu school, his sound is hardly retro; tracks such as Matterrox and Dunk may tip their hat here and there with thick, talk box-y bass, handclaps, and rubbery synth work, but his fusion of elements from a range of sources (funk, house, experimental techno, industrial/EBM) with a characteristic humor and knack for extracting musicality from the oddest of sources defies easy dismissal. In addition to his material as Clatterbox proper, Kempston has also released a pair of 12-inches on Clear simply titled Clatterbeats; stripped-down vignettes intended for DJ use rather than home listening.
