Compilation of the month
Golf Clap 'Golf Clap Presents Country Club Disco' (Country Club Disco)
With Kerri Chandler’s MadTech recently citing Golf Clap as a force to be reckoned with, there are a lot of expectant eyes on the duo. Detroit pair Hugh Cleal and Bryan Jones are unfazed, though, as they bring you this 20-track strong compilation showcasing their own County Club Disco imprint. The blasting sound of Lenny Kiser’s ‘Dial Up’ comes on like a 2am festival anthem before breaking into retro dial-up tone samples. Golf Clap’s own ‘Late Nights’ is a touch of dark garage with a Korg M1 let loose over skipping beats and Gerry Gonza’s ‘DEVI’ is a tech assault bolstered by galloping drums and a metallic voice. With this compilation of fierce, peak-time cuts, Golf Clap are carving their own sound.
