Original Clique: Now Hear Me Now
Label: Chill - TUV 2
Format: Vinyl, 12", 45 RPM, EP
Country: UK
Released: 1990
Genre: Electronic
Style: House, Techno, Bleep
Original Clique made their debut in the early summer of 1990 with the release of two EPs, "Ten To Midnight" and "North of Watford," both launched simultaneously on Chill Records without much fanfare. Their music stood out for its stylistic diversity, unified by a raw, bass-heavy sound that mirrored the minimalist, bleep-centric Techno emerging from Northern England.
Among the standout tracks, "Come To Papa" became a quintessential late-night anthem, characterized by its "Testone" style bleeps, potent bass, and a catchy vocal loop—a feature also prominent in "North of Watford's" lead track, "Now Hear Me Now." This authentic "northern" sound led to a widespread misconception among DJs and notable figures like John Peel, who mistakenly identified Original Clique as hailing from Yorkshire, when in fact they were Luton natives.
Both EPs are now recognized as seminal contributions to the Bleep-influenced genre, representing some of the finest examples of this sound to emerge.
Included in Notes From Underground are U = Underground, Now Hear Me Now and "F" (Whistle Mix)!
We are thrilled to announce another collaboration between Cold Blow and Musique Pour La Danse, a two-part anthology celebrating the unsung hero of 90s British dance music, Tony Boninsegna under his numerous guises. Boninsegna’s story first came to light when he was featured in ”Join The Future: Bleep Techno and the Birth of British Bass Music.” Fittingly, each album includes detailed sleeve notes written by the author, Matt Anniss
Restored and remastered by Ed Upton
Artwork and design by Andrew J. Beltran
For all vinyl orders, you will receive a sew-on/iron-on patch featuring the legendary dance label Chill’s original logo, designed by label co-founder and Jack Trax A&R, Tim Raidl.

”Gary49” by Forehard & Larry Neverheard, was made under the influence of some powerful herbs, and it shows. The track has an otherworldly feel, with some sort of alien nagging in the background that adds to the overall vibe. Listen closely, is it saying something?

”BROWN” by DJ Lifegoals is a tribute to the most important garment in DJ Lifegoals’ wardrobe, his underwear. The track is sure to get you moving with its catchy beat and playful melody. Or at least the kick is boomy.

Halvtrak: X-Pressed (Cold Blow, 2023)
”See the idea is to get the vibe going, then you maintain the vibe with a trance inducing bass and the right lights, we’re primal heading for cosmic. Just when you think we’re in galactic ecstasy. We go acid. Hardcore neutronic mutilation. Now we get serious, we’re going on a psychotically calibrated electronically executed digitally compressed public screaming journey thru sonic grooviness. The world is coming to an end, but we don’t care cause we’re moon-tan nocturnal. Vinyl consuming animals drifting easy thru friendly space & analog trance, nothing can doom this groove. We’re controlling the vibe, manipulating the manners, sucking in the energy and our cosmic nerve endings telling us how to move, what to do, where to go & then we know. Techno.
