Spin Doctor Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Admittedly, I am a little slow to pick up on this sub-label, however I am really enjoying the releases on FSOE Clandestine recently. While they are getting slightly formulaic, typically featuring a heavy tech influenced bass with trance saw breakdown, overall I am very impressed. This reminds of the excitement that Nukleuz could generate at it's apex. You could almost buy a 12" blind from them and still be sure of a high quality release. Any thoughts or particular recommendations? Discogs: FSOE Clandestine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 I dont see why FSOE need like, what is it three labels now? its all samey stuff really. Ok but not outstanding. Buying stuff blind was pretty much a Bonzai thing aswell, when it was mike and l vee producing stuff under loads of different names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Doctor Posted November 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 You are very correct about Bonzai. MIKE and L-Vee were fertile minds and it was truly was a lucky time to be into electronic music. There haven't been any releases on the other FSOE imprints which have captured my interest. The harder techy basslines of Clandestine tend to peak my interest though. Two releases I have particularly enjoyed are: Paul Webster & Casey Rasch - Silencer David Forbes & Paul Denton - Blizzard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 The main FSOE label is more geared towards the uplifting / melodic side, whereas FSOE Clandestine leans more towards the Techier sound. Clandestine releases some good stuff - but like the main FSOE label (and a lot of labels these days really), a lot of their releases are hit and miss. If you like FSOE Clandestine, then check out the Grotesque and Aerys labels too. They release some stuff which is very similar to the Clandestine stuff.

Louk Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Hey guys! Saw this, I've engineered 7 of the past 62 FSOE Clandestine releases, some of the more techier ones! Loving the sound of the label, Stoneface & Terminal have mixed a CD coming on Skullduggery soon with some belters in. Def one of my fav tech trance labels out there.

JasonB Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 On the other hand I am liking some recent releases on FSOE parralels. Horses for courses really, on the whole not a big fan of a lot of trance stuff from the past few years, as noted by whatever mixes I do its the mellower, deep, proggy house and such I go for these days.

Louk Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Yeah parallels have some beasts too! A mate of mine from Plym is on there, Paul Hawcroft - Unicorn. The label made him change the kick and clap though, there is another version he's been playing for ages that sounds far better than the released one.

Spin Doctor Posted February 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Briggsy, thanks for the Grotesque and Aerys label recommendations. I will be sure to look at their releases. Louk, likewise with Skullduggery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Doctor Posted February 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I managed to find some time over Christmas to record a FSOE Clandestine mix. You can listen here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
