K.lust – Slow Down [AV-K prod. | AVK003]
Slow Down is the second K.lust release, a beat oriented project by Anacleto Vitolo.
In continuity with the previous album “Liven”, Slow Down focuses on the concept of cyclicity in human civilization, referred to the modern world and the critical issues of today’s society.
Hypnotic rhythms as a metaphor for the alienation of nowadays and historical courses (and recourses) in cyclical repetition.
The sounds, in this new chapter, become more obscure and present themselves as a cross between the previous K.lust album and the sharp and dirty sounds of the AV-K project, in an ideal match between tribalism and modernity.

“Slow Down finisce per essere il disco più instabile e umorale di Anacleto, quello in cui il ragazzo, abbandona la propria zona di comfort per avventurarsi in territori per lui parzialmente nuovi, lascia trasparire quella visione prometeica che manca a molti dei produttori italiani della nuova generazione. Avanti così.” – Antonio Ciarletta – Blow Up Magazine.
“….A rendere particolare “Slow Down” è l’attenzione al dettaglio, in una ricerca musicale che muove dalla perfezione digitale dell’elettronica per sporcarne l’algida precisione attraverso suoni, strumenti, distorsioni e rumori di fondo, dando vita ad una creatura ibrida, viva ed estremamente concreta. Una composizione molto personale che riesce per questo ad essere coerente e ad avere un’identità molto forte…” – Fabio Piccolino Rockit.it
“…Throughout these beats are quite dark and haunting and in all, it’s rhythmical approach it is very atmospherically and minimal. Minimal as in the way these songs develop, but maximal in the way the various parts of the percussion is used… This is some very fine music.” Frans de Waard – Vital Weekly
