Klar? Yeah, It’s Klar – The Album That Punches You in the Ears
Alright, let’s cut the crap. Is Klar by Feldah & Koba isn’t just another electronic drop-in-the-bucket release from 2006—it’s a techno sledgehammer wrapped in Swiss precision. This thing hits hard, and it doesn’t apologize for it. Released under the 60Sec label (because who’s got time for long intros anyway?), this two-track beast slaps harder than your morning coffee on an empty stomach.
First up: “Is Klar”. Holy hell, where do I even start? If minimal techno had a face, this track would be its passport photo. It’s stripped-down but so damn sharp you’ll feel like it’s carving grooves into your brain. The kick drum is relentless—boom, boom, BOOM—like someone knocking at your door with bad news you can’t ignore. Then there’s that bassline, sneaky as hell, creeping around like it owns the place. What makes this track stick? It’s raw. No fluff, no overproduced nonsense, just pure, unfiltered grit. Producer Feldah Wardress and Rüdiger Kober didn’t waste time trying to reinvent the wheel here—they just tuned it to perfection and let it roll right over you.
Now, onto the remix: “Is Klar (Pan-Pot Remix)”. These guys took the original and turned it into something darker, nastier, almost industrial. Think of it like they grabbed “Is Klar,” dragged it through a Berlin alleyway at 3 AM, and came out the other side with a monster. The rhythm gets chopped up, twisted, and reassembled into something that feels alive—or maybe undead. It’s tech house with teeth, snapping at your heels every four bars. You won’t forget this one anytime soon because it’s not just music; it’s a vibe, a mood, a late-night conversation you only half-remember the next day.
So yeah, Is Klar. Two tracks, zero filler. Switzerland might be known for chocolate and watches, but Feldah & Koba proved they could crank out beats meaner than a pissed-off Alphorn player. And honestly? That’s kinda beautiful.
Here’s the kicker though—ever notice how some albums age worse than milk left in the sun? Not this one. Sixteen years later, Is Klar still sounds fresher than most stuff dropping today. Maybe that says more about modern music than we want to admit. Or maybe Feldah & Koba were just ahead of their time. Either way, respect.
