This month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show places a spotlight on Rotterdam and the influential record label, store and distributor @clone-nl.

Founded by @sergeclone, Clone launched in 1992 with the EP “Coördinated Sounds & Sequences," under Serge’s moniker Orx. 

What began as a platform for Serge’s own music and his friends’ has grown into a worldwide operation, with Clone’s current roster of artists including Finland’s Aleksi Perälä, Germany’s Roman Flügel, and Legowelt from The Netherlands, as well as Detroit’s Drexciya, The Other People Place, and Der Zyklus. Under Clone Records are also several sub labels including  Basement Series, Royal Oak, and Clone Jack for Daze.

In 1995, Serge launched Clone the record store, as well as its distribution arm, which specializes in electronic music, original soundtracks, jazz, funk, and Italo disco from a variety of international labels. 

For this episode of Carhartt WIP Radio, Serge offers an insight into Clone with a mix featuring tracks from its most recent catalog, while paying tribute to the birthplace of techno – Detroit.

As ever, the mix is accompanied by an interview, where Serge discuss the need for labels in the modern music industry, the early days of Clone, and his passion for biking. Read the interview via via www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music.

Carhartt WIP Radio March 2024: Clone Records

Exclusively and diverse: Carhartt WIP Radio isn't just another DJ mix! Personally the creators themselves will broadcast selected music and individual shows. From sahel sounds to adventures in bass, from hip hop to eclectic electronics, from house to techno - versatility is the key. The labels and artists involved in this project will represent their own genre in the stream and show the diversity of the musical world we live in.
