This month my guest for Connecting Souls 079 on Proton Radio is the beautiful soul 'ZEREN' from Istanbul (Turkey).

The first time we spoke on internet she texted me, your sets have been an inspiration for me. I always listen to your sets to catch good tracks, can I ask about a track ID if you don't mind. Cause your tracklist are amazing, and sometimes i can't find them. The contact was made, Connecting Souls! And now, half a year later she is my guest at Connecting Souls.

Connecting Souls 079 on Proton Radio guest ZEREN

Logic Pro 9 , MIDI Keyboard, and Microphone

Inspired by the first mixing programs on the Dutch radio, Clement van Dijk started mixing in the early 80’s. Being the music obsessive that he is, it didn’t take him very long to find a local club (Display) to showcase his skills. After doing so for a couple of years the promoters of Arnhems hottest dance club; Luxor, offered him a monthly residency on the Stargate party's. This gave Clay the opportunity to play alongside almost every well-known deejay in Holland, and in countries like, Hungary, Mexico, Germany, England, Greece and others... 

This quietly-spoken DJ from Amsterdam has always understood what made people dance, but never compromised his vision of what good music should be like. By continuously following his favorite waxmasters, like John Digweed, Sasha, Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo, he developed his love for progressive house music. And now as a big fan of producers like, Guy J, Alex O'Rion, Marcelo Vasami, Matias Chilano, Matter, GMJ and many more....

His style reaches from proggy house with some of the most beautiful strings and vocals you are likely to hear unto deep and dark progressive. He combines deep house, progressive and melodic techno into a hypnotic and intense DJ set. His specialty is creating an atmosphere wherein the audience will be taken to a different musical level. He will take you on a rare, extraordinary and psychedelic musical trip in to the deep space of the progressive underground.

Every first Friday of the month Clay has his radio show Connecting Souls on Proton Radio. Let this joyful Deejay connect your souls on the dance floor with his magical mix of progressive house, deep house and melodic techno music. Now in these days you can find him as a resident in the best underground club in Amsterdam, The Recycle Lounge Gallery Club, and in the famous hotspot Club NL. Here he is the organizer of the party's 'Connecting Souls' and 'HUG' that stands for Holland Under Ground. So if you’re in the mood for a party, let Clay take you on his musical journey...

Love, Beats and Progressive!
