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…

Pat Lok - Same Hearts (Ride The Universe Remix)

Utwór pochodzi z nowego mixtape "VHS DREAMER".
Jest to hołd złożony ulubionym obrazom filmowym.
"Daniel" stanowi wyjątek. To ukłon w stronę  kompozytora Arkadiusza Reikowskiego.
 Jego muzykę możecie posłuchać w takich produkcjach jak "Kholat", "Layers of Fear I i II" czy moim kochanym  "Observer" od Bloober studio. 
To dzięki muzyce tego Pana, postanowiłem robić muzykę.
Miłego odsłuchu

A deep dive into hypnotic techno, this set weaves together immersive rhythms, subtle textures, and experimental layers that build tension with surgical precision. Each transition unfolds naturally, guiding the listener through a shadowy, introspective soundscape. The atmosphere is dark yet meditative—driven by pulsating basslines, minimalistic grooves, and unpredictable sonic elements that keep the experience fresh and forward-thinking. Rooted in deep techno, the mix balances structure and exploration, inviting the listener into a hypnotic trance without losing emotional depth.

Patryk Jasieniecki has been fascinated by electronic music in its broad sense since his early years. He is currently focused on techno, which can be heard in his sets in various parts of our country. His sets are one big surprise! An exciting journey through the sounds of dark, deep techno, totally hypnotizing. He has played in many different places in Poland. In 2024, he joined the ranks of the Carbon Silesia Festival, playing on the Fresh Faces DJ LAB stage.
