For CLOT’s next mixtape set, duo Auf Togo takes us into a session of Pop, Funk & 70’s Cosmic Disco, filled with hypnotic grooves and absorbing melodies.
Auf Togo is the long-time collaboration between Sasa Crnobrnja and Clement Cachot-Coulom, inspired by the Cosmic disco sounds of the late 70s/early ’80s. Sasa Crnobrnja originates from the deep, disco-laced house duo of his duo alias In Flagranti (Kitsune, Phantasy, Gomma & more) and Clement Cachot-Coulom from bands The Fabulous Penetrators and Big Girls. With the Auf Togo formation, they present a sound that echoes the richness and flavour of vintage recording equipment and instruments whilst holding the edge and sharpness of modern studio techniques.
The duo presents a loose, almost improvised sound that works very well within the rigid confines of house music. Psychedelic echoey guitars clash with probing synth lines and live-sounding rhythm sections and their heavy kicks and singing cowbells, their deep basslines and spare guitar licks blur the line between rigid, quantised sounds and the duo’s refreshing human touch.
Auf Togo recently their new album, Movements. The record, unconventional in its production, stems from samples extracted from Clement’s riffs and jams on guitar, bass and keys, all of which are then ultimately sown together by Sasa’s expert production.
