about

For the past four years Francesco Leali kept busy running Parachute alongside co-owners Manfredi Romano and Thomas Feriero, producing under different monikers and touring the globe as half of CW/A. Finally back as Clockwork, Leali reveals a five track EP featuring some of his rugged music to date. A briery shift into foggier territories where Leali explores layered sound-design and broken rhythms, something he had only hinted in his previous work.

“Online Entity” depicts Leali’s hindrance with modern society’s social networking obsession.

‘In contrast to what these services were actually intended for’, Leali explains, ‘They seem to have impacted a lot of people negatively, resulting in unnecessary resentments, misinformation and feelings of proximity when these tools can easily alienate you from reality’.

‘Constantly worrying about how you want people to perceive you is absurd already, but for many of us this constant sharing has become the only way to achieve happiness, to be satisfied. In an era where all of this is getting out of hand it’s essential to remind yourself of the things that truly shape you as an individual. With Online Entity I aimed for feelings of release, mutating resentments into something more physical. I imagined it as a soundtrack to an escape from these very situations.’

The release showcases this approach with five club-ready numbers filled with calculated, pounding drums and gloomy atmospheres, with only rare glimpses of hope scattered throughout.

To round things up we mobilised fellow Parachute affiliate Ayarcana and Serbian Techno pro Lag who both deliver two startling interpretations of ‘Escape Sequence’ and ‘Rumination’.

Awesome work. It is a pleasure to listen to these perfectly produced electro tracks. No. 1 is a classic electro track with many details, perfectly executed. No. 2 - 4 are my favourites. Very danceable and complex. Perfect to rock the crowd - Added to my playlist "Steppen bis der Arzt kommt!". Nice nice nice! My rating 5/5 quzani

Well executed production. Track No. 1 is straightforward and excellent for the dancefloor. Same for Track No. 2 but slightly darker than No. 1 and suitable for dancing. Track No. 3 is still danceable but "slower". No. 4 sometimes reminds me of "the good old 90ths" and the synth-sounds of Aphex Twin, but that is not a bad thing: perfect EP and a must-have for friends of electro music. My rating 4.5/5 quzani
