KLOQ BIOGRAPHY


Past, Present and Future

If I cast my mind back to my distant past, shortly after I first became musically aware, I remember hearing those strange sounds that were, at the time, nothing like Id heard before.apart from on Dr Who and Space 1999. They were forcing their way though a barrage of gloss rock, skinhead and punk culture and pop performers with their white suit sleeves rolled up. What were these strange noises and where were they coming from?? My curiosity was sufficiently aroused and I decided to investigate so armed with my paper round money off I went each week to my local record shop to discover what these sounds were and who was making them. I discovered each week new electric gems by artists such as Depeche Mode, Yazoo, OMD, Ultravox, Gary Numan and Kraftwerk. So began my love affair with electronic music..

After a minor musical diversion in my early teens (possibly due to the hormones!) when I was into rock and heavy metal for a while, I was drawn back to electronica by the likes of Cabaret Voltaire, Front Line Assembly and Nitzer Ebb. This was a time for wearing black leather jackets, DM boots and drinking copious amounts of cheap cider, bowling around with my elbows out in a dirty club!!!! I had discovered EBM..ahhhhh! mind you thats not to say I dont do some of that now perhaps not the cheap cider!. I was perfectly content and would likely have remained so if it wasnt for the rumours of organised, rebellious masses gathering to thrust a partying middle finger at the establishment and a friend who came home one day in the late summer of 88 with eyes the size of saucers, telling me he had just spent the last 24 hours in some remote dis-used industrial unit with hundreds of other saucer-eyed personages, dancing together. He played me a belting new beat track called Ibiza by Amnesia. I had discovered Acid House. . .ahhhhh. I spent the weekends of the next few years either in my room messing about with sequencers and keyboards or in a field, club or warehouse exposed to the likes of Joey Beltram, CJ Bolland , Orbital, LFO and some bloke called Liam Howlett. This was how I met my first musical accomplice Bob Glennie (RIP dude).

Having a similar, but not identical, musical background we bounced off each other like kids on cheap lemonade at a birthday party. In the early 90s we started creating warped distorted electro techno together as Empirion and with third DJ band-member Jamie Smart signed to Beggars Banquet/XL Recordings. We thrust upon the world several singles such as Narcotic Influence, an album Advanced Technology and remixed acts such Front 242 (Headhunter 2000), Prodigy (Fireststarter), Hate Department (Release it), Praga Kahn (Luv u Still) and Fluke (Bullet) and toured with the likes of the Prodigy, Front 242 and Moby. The sound was pretty diverse for the time and we would find ourselves having a number one chart position in dance magazine Mixmag and rock/metal magazine Kerrang simultaneously!! (.our mission was accomplished!).

After Empirion I stayed immersed in the techno scene and through my good friend DJ Xavier Morel released the first Kloq tracks on Atomic Reactor and Solstice labels. What you are, Upgrade, Blade, and Kloq Music 2. These tracks were really the transition from Empirion to what the Kloq sound is now.

Thanks for the support. Welcome to the Kloq Floq!..oz morsley

Hey Guys
I saw you at the Blackfield Festival and was avid. awsome show, although naturally short.
Now I bought your album and was quite disapointed, that the song I liked best at the show (don't know the name but the lyrics are something like: "it's got soul, it's got feelings") is not on the album (which is great). Is there a new album or single on the run?
greetings from Bottrop, Germany

PS: thanks for the photos @ the Festival =)
