Mixes + Radio

Glasgow’s one and only MR TC has a very personal and versatile take on slow-paced and dark sounds, which he projects both in his productions, and on the dancefloor, like in his Night of the Jaguar club nights. He has released in labels like Optimo Music and Hard Fist, and consistently works with Lo Kindre in their Phase Group label, a home to obscure electronica.

Recording of MR TC's set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

"It felt very special to be playing to people again, after so long, in a location like Tisno and with so many other great artists playing across the weekend. A lot of us had been waiting a long time for something like this. I played around sunset at the Nest on Friday. The set was a lot of fun and I felt like I had the freedom to go wherever I wanted to go with it. There is a moment in the Philipp Otterbach track that I played where it goes silent and there is just a female vocal talking, and at that moment it felt like the whole of the Nest was locked into what she was saying. From there, we knew everyone was on the same wavelength and the energy for the rest of the set was amazing."

Phase Group Mix - MR TC

Since learning the ropes in Glasgow’s underground with early releases on Optimo Music and a residency at the famous Art School club, Thomas Lea Clarke aka https://soundcloud.com/mrtcmusic has spent the past 10 years delving into the recesses of experimental electronic club music with his own productions, playing live shows, doing some remixes, mixing and meeting a lot of people along the way. We first met in 2016 both spinning at a Blue Cheese party. These days he works at a radio station and tends to https://soundcloud.com/phasegroup, the label he started with Lo Kindre.

His hobbies are spending time on his own recording sounds, or to be with close ones, eating something good, having a drink and sharing a moment. He runs to keep fit and likes spending time in nature whenever he can. He's easily distracted, not sure if that’s a bad thing though - if he's good at working on multiple things at once, or bad at focusing on one thing at a time.

His mix meanders through some kind of dreamspace with ghostly appearances. He's in no hurry but quickly grabs you by the throat. 'Wherever you may go in life… just don't stop the dance'
« This mix feels like wondering through a dream, lost in bright fog at night. Searching for something you can’t remember but feeling like you’re getting closer. »

Listen Listen - 90mil - Thomas Lea Clarke

This month The EDWIN Music Channel features the Glaswegian musician, DJ and party promoter Thomas Lea Clarke, AKA @mr_tc_glasgow.

"This mix includes all the stuff I’ve been listening to lately, that I’ve made recently or music that friends have sent me. It seemed to come together pretty easily, starting with a track of forest sounds, beautiful vocals and hand drums from the upcoming Tafi Allstars record moving through psychedelic and percussive sounds from France and Holland into some dubby post punk from Pornosect then getting a bit darker and more industrial before bringing in a bit of slow acid sounds and coming out with that epic track by Tomaga."

Sinchi & Friends 69 is MR TC (@mr_tc_glasgow) who is about to release his latest EP 'The Depth of Haze' on Lyon based @HardFist records. The label headed up by Cornelius Doctor and Tushen Raï, has a fine pedigree working with artists such as Bawrut, Shadi Khries, J.A.K.A.M.,  Pletnev, Khidja, Fringe Society, Timothy Clerkin, Ko Shin Moon, Lokier and Simple Symmetry.

In advance of the release coming mid Feb, we asked how it came about?

I met Baptiste from the label when we played the MR TC live show at Nuits Sonores in 2017. We got on really well and when he came to start the label he asked if I’d like to do a release with them. I sent them these tracks as I made them and when Khidja and Lokier sent us their remixes we had an EP.

Optimo Music Takeover: Mr TC - 26th January 2019

Mix.45 – MR TC

Hello AGAIN!

I didn't really count with it any more to be honest haaaar, so the more I'm glad to present the 23rd episode to all you listenees, send by MR TC from Glasgow.

The first contact I had with this guy was when my ears caught some tracks from his 'Soundtrack for Strangers EP'. This EP was the first release  and brought a real nice organic way to perform Techno and Acid House into my membranes.

From there on three more releases found there way into this world and a bunch of remixes where published by MR TC. 
The sound became more wavy also trippy and the tempo got decreased.

And now here we are, 'the other side' as this series invites to show up with.

So, this mix never really shows a one line direction I could pick out to explain. 
It developes from a quite melancholic point as I find to something more blooming. You definetly will find some sounds of wavy chords inside and also the inspiration of warm drums. 

The tunes turned out to be quite a deceleration and relaxation for the stressed mind. Warming up the heart and head from the colder and darker days we're now leaving again. 
Get ready to embrace some times of sun and light again!

Put this mix on your ears and take some steps outside , catch some warmth and grab this audio manual to slowly wake up again,

Thank you very much for your contribution Thomas, I really appreciate it!
Enjoy every single note of this mix.

Robert
