DRIVEN BY ATTRACTION — Last Days Of Innocence

Driven By Attraction – Last Days Of Innocence opens the Klakson Recordings KL-NR13 12-inch vinyl with a crisp statement of contemporary electro-funk. The solo EP from Marlon Plein, also known as Driven By Attraction and one half of Watching Airplanes, follows the label’s recent burst of releases, arriving the same day as D_Roots’ “Shapes of the Roots – Part2” (KL-NR11B) and Steffi & Sepehr’s “Drunk On Psychedeli(c)a” (KL-NR12). Positioned between the earlier “Slow Motion Drip” by Negroni Nails (KL-NR10) and Passarani’s “The Dot And The Circle EP” (KL-NR14), the record continues Klakson’s focus on deep, dance-floor oriented electro. The EP’s four cuts are described as “distinguished contemporary electro funk driven dance floor stompers with an ultra deep twist,” and the sequencing reflects a steady build of intensity. A1 “The Same Way” launches the set with a tight groove that immediately stakes a claim on the floor, while A2 “No Higher Authority” pushes the momentum forward, adding a subtle shift that prepares the listener for the flip side. On side B, B1 “Again Again” revisits the core funk motif with a slightly darker hue, and B2 “You Bring Something Better” closes the record on a polished yet restless note, leaving space for a DJ to mix out or loop the final phrase. Driven By Attraction’s prior outing, the “That’s It” 12-inch on AREA127 (127AREA003, 2023), already hinted at a penchant for crisp electro production. “Last Days Of Innocence” refines that aesthetic within Klakson’s catalogue, aligning with the label’s recent emphasis on deep, groove-centric releases while retaining a distinctive melodic edge that sets the EP apart from its contemporaries. For DJs, the four tracks offer immediate utility: each is structured for looping and layering, with clear rhythmic anchors that suit both peak-time peaks and more nuanced, late-night transitions. Collectors will appreciate the EP’s placement among a cluster of 2026 releases that highlight Klakson’s commitment to forward-thinking electro, making it a worthwhile addition to any serious record bag. The record is pressed as a 12-inch vinyl, matching the format of the label’s recent output and providing the analog warmth prized by vinyl enthusiasts.
