With this new EP Tom Clark makes an impressive return to the Highgrade
release program. Following a collaboration with Marcus Schatz and most
recently with Benno Blome, he now comes back as a solo artist. After only
a few beats, you’ll be sure to recognise his signature sound. Tom needs
surprisingly few elements to build a unique atmosphere and his matchless
grooves.
On the title track “Scorpio“ we find a deep, rolling bassline and
a slightly orientally influenced vocal, combined with the typically unique
Clarkish synth leads, and we’re ready to go. It’s a track that continually
keeps the excitement moving while never letting the cat out of the bag, and
more than deserves the A-side.
Then we come to “Albino“, also featuring
sparkling synths and rolling drums that create an impression of fluidity and
an unhurried beginnings, but we also end up in a waterfall... Who would

of leisurely energy, this tune also really hits the mark. This is not the work of
a newbie who produces an aggressive sound to prove his talents.
The result
is the feature of this EP: Seldom has an understatement sounded so fresh.
+ Digital-only bonus track “12 notes“!
