Dr. Nojoke - Cliknopium I

Format : 12"

Label : Clikno

Catalog # : CLIKNOPIUM01

Genre : Minimal

With CLIKNOPIUM I, Dr.Nojoke opens a new 12-inch series marking 20 years of CLIKNO.

Since his beginnings in 2005, Dr.Nojoke has focused on transforming everyday sonic fragments into electronic microcosms, guided by a strict manifesto: no presets, no templates, no classic machines, and every sound crafted from scratch. This approach has shaped Dr.Nojoke’s unmistakable aesthetic - detailed, tactile, and rhythmically unconventional.

Influenced early on by the click-and-glitch lineage of Villalobos, Jan Jelinek, Akufen, and Alva Noto, Dr.Nojoke has long expanded his palette to include dub-infused basslines, delicate percussions, and hypnotic textures. The result is a body of work he describes as “CLIKNO,” where organic sounds meet electronic precision.

Treguja opens the record with a playful, slightly wonky funk, evoking the atmosphere of a clandestine backyard rave. Gragada shifts into deeper Dubtech territories, its bird calls and floating chords unfolding like a memory of a vanished paradise. On the B-side, Wesikwa propels the listener into a dreamlike, ritualistic groove, carried by Jew’s harps, murmured voices, and a steady, immersive pulse.

Twenty years after the concept began, CLIKNO remains as vital and imaginative as ever. CLIKNOPIUM I is both a celebration of this legacy and the beginning of a new exploratory chapter - an invitation to flip the record and let the trip continue.
