We caught up with Clarity on breakbeat.co.uk to chat about his stunning Infinite LP on Samurai Music, and scored this deep mix showcasing his signature style.

Clarity - Exclusive Drum&BassArena Mix

It’s been a grim year. I won’t add to the countless column inches exploring why; suffice to say I’ve spent a great deal of it feeling like humanity is on the edge of oblivion, and wondering if, all things considered, that might not be such a bad thing. At other times I’ve clung to what Obama described as ‘the audacity of hope’ – the idea that we may one day learn to live with love, that future generations may finally step out of the shadow of fear that divided and conquered their ancestors.

I wrote this track the night before last, then got up at 5am to record the guitar before engines started roaring in the bus garage outside my flat. You can hear a few birds singing at the end, but that seemed appropriate, so I left it in. 

Thanks for listening in 2016. Here’s hoping.
