We are back in 2013.
Beginning of 2012 a new name appeared on the international dancefloor: CLAPTONE (artist of the year 2012 in German Trendcharts DCC).
The track ‘CREAM’ became the worldwide Top Track (No.2) of Beatport in the category Deep House and was among the Top 10 of the most charted tracks for 2012 on Resident Advisor.
The new year brings 2 more surehots for the clubs: WRONG & NO EYES featuring JAW from dOP.
Early support by Tensnake, Solomun, Noir, Laurent Garnier, DJ T…

In a now long forgotten world, many generations ago, a bird like shape emerged from wooded darkness, floating and fluttering, drifting and dreaming. Backlit by a bright glow of iridescent light, the undecipherable form wore a dazzling golden mask. Its long beak swooped down like an inverted horn and since then, people have referred to the mythical being simply as Claptone.
Years spending wandering medieval landscapes have informed Claptone’s view of the world, experiencing both magical mystery and muted melancholy he enchanted onlookers with occult instruments and beguiling sounds. Forever surrounded by a sense of intrigue, the world soon cottoned on to the elusive yet enchanting musical powers of this otherworldly beast. The results are that today his shamanistic sonic powers take him all around the world.
Whilst Claptone has continued to roam in his own circles, 2012AD proved to be a year dominated by his infectious ‘Cream’ track. It became an immediate hit, topping new world charts at Beatport and RA, whilst the sonic conjuring of the ‘Night On Fire’ EP also lured all those who heard it, with the result another Top 20 hit. But that’s not all, for the creativity flows freely in our hero, and his ‘Another Night’ also proved to be just as successful on the dancefloor. Deep and woozy, the Claptone sound pairs theatre with tragedy, feel good vibes with acute melancholia and imbues each groove with a Rhodes laced funk, an organic string hook and myriad earthy elements.
Up to the present day, Claptone releases have been birthed on Germany’s influential Exploited label, picking up props from the likes of Pete Tong, DJ Sneak, Soul Clap, DJ Hell, Jesse Rose, A-Trak along the way. Who or whatever Claptone is, it is alive, with a life of its own, evolving and revolving in equal measure, exploring new sounds naturally and forever taking inspiration from long gone and occult worlds.
So far, esteemed and influential dancefloors at clubs in Berlin, London, Paris, Melbourne, Shanghai, New York and many others around the world have fallen under the sonic spell of this secretive alchemist. The future is unpredictable for Claptone, but a new release ‘Wrong’ including the track ‘No Eyes’ with the inimitable JAW from French funsters dOP is on the horizon. Beyond that, your guess is as good as ours…

'Hungry For the Power' gets a fresh batch of big-name remixes in advance of Azari & III's debut LP release, due in July.

Headlining the package is a showdown of Crosstown Rebels stars, with the red-hot Jamie Jones and Art Department each turning in massive renditions. Jamie's mix is a full-blown, driving party anthem, while Azari's fellow Torontonians elevate the pop flavours with a more laid-back approach.

Guy Gerber, fresh off a fruitful collaboration with P. Diddy, delivers a feverish, saturated late-night mix.

Emerging talent Sei A turns in a hauntingly beautiful dubstep mix reminiscent of the mighty Burial.

Finally, Azari & III pump the drums up and enhance the Detroit-styled strings on their brand-new Dub.

Mark Jenkyns is back onboard the Hot Creations imprint, this time featuring vocalist MC Chickaboo. 12 Stories (Mark & Chris Sylvester) are on remix duty for their debut on the label, and what a killer release it is!

‘On Me’ oozes with funk, groovy basslines and sonic madness, perfect additions to the Hot Creations catalogue and proving each of the artists involved know exactly what works on the dance floor. Getting heavy support from Jamie Jones & Richy Ahmed & Lee Foss, it looks like another hot-hitter from Hot Creations.

Yeah, a silly de-mix of an all-time favorite 🚀 Didn't want to rip off the original melody entirely... Then it got weirder than I was hoping for... 😂 Still has a nice energy, some nice breaks, and various motifs complementing each other...

Whilk & Misky - Clap Your Hands - Solomun Remix

The efforts of Hayze on Noir Music have been very fruitful so far. Mesmerizing hits like “Around” and “Angel”, were both brought into this world in collaboration with the label’s head honcho Noir. Being no stranger to the label, time has come for a debut solo release by Hayze.

Everyone, sooner or later, experiences a life-changing moment. Some of these moments have a modest impact; other moments change your whole perspective on things. These are the points in life that make a difference. Overthrowing and surviving a life-threatening disease made Haze change his name to Hayze, by advice from his father. Same guy, same heart, same talent, but a different identity ready for the next chapter. Making “Brighter Days” not only his first solo project after his turning point, but an important and meaningful release for many more reasons.

Hayze about “Brighter Days”:
“Brighter Days” comes from a true place in my heart as with all my records. It’s about finding light in the dark times; about hope, having faith in music and realizing the power of dance…
“Sometimes you gotta be singing, singing, singing the blues away. Sometimes you gotta be dancing, dancing, dance in the rainy days” – Hayze

The original mix is deep with a lush synth riff as its main hook, laced over a phat rolling bass line underneath a bed of beats that have little nuances of effects and subtle percussion that come in and out without it feeling repetitive. The vocals are classic Hayze, deep, meaningful and melodic with hints of melancholy.

UK star Huxley shines on remix duties for this one. Taking elements from the original synth riff, he manages to capture a whole different vibe with the record, with strings and pianos complementing an uplifting dramatic breakdown coming straight into a garage style bass line that is vibrant and fresh overall with head nodding beats. It’s one to watch out for.

Rain or shine, music never stops.
Brighter Days.

The second installment from the ‘Charmer Remixed’ series features reworks from Format:B, Raumakustik and Superlover; more dancefloor gold offered up by the man with the golden mask. 

‘Charmer Remixed’ is the final act of Claptone’s debut album campaign; a collection of remixes which close the curtain on the ‘Charmer’ chapter but leave us all wanting more and anticipating what he has planned for us next.
 
The second EP in the series features three peak-time cuts from a trio of German heavyweights.
 
Format:B are on an incredible roll and have fast become one of the hottest things in the tech house scene right now and seriously deliver with a typically heads-down club juggernaut. Meanwhile, releases on Hot Creations, Toolroom, Suara for Berlin-based Raumakustik have established them as much touted newcomers to the scene whilst Superlover complete the package with a more restrained, piano led house take on ‘Puppet Theatre’.

It follows hot on the heels of Part 1 and it’s  reworks from Justin Martin and Timo Maas, both of which have been causing a commotion on dancefloors acorss the globe, picking up the support of Jamie Jones, Tensnake and Nic Fancuilli and rapidly scaling the Beatport chart.

Part 2 is set for release on 13/2/17.
