St. Louis-born rapper Sexyy Red delivers her brazenly sexual lyrics in a humorous, carefree manner. Active since the 2010s, she broke through when her 2023 single "Pound Town" went viral, prompting a remix featuring Nicki Minaj and pushing her mixtape Hood Hottest Princess into the Billboard 200.

Heavily influenced by Southern rap from the 2000s, particularly Gucci Mane and Three 6 Mafia, Janae Wherry started rapping in order to write a diss song against an ex-boyfriend who cheated on her. She began releasing songs as Sexyy Red in 2018, and her first mixtape, Ghetto Superstar, appeared in 2021. "Born by the River," a 2022 single featuring Sukihana that references Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come," received a degree of attention. Sexyy Red's true breakthrough came with the release of "Pound Town," a Tay Keith-produced track that originated as a studio freestyle. The song was released in January of 2023 and immediately became a TikTok favorite, receiving co-signs from several rappers and celebrities. Sexyy Red released a song titled "Female Gucci Mane" and was featured on tracks by NLE Choppa, Gloss UP, and Kaliii. "Pound Town 2," an official remix featuring Nicki Minaj, appeared in May and was included on Hood Hottest Princess, Sexyy Red's second mixtape. The release was met with positive press as well as controversy when it arrived in June, and it reached the Billboard 200 in July.

Established in 2003 by Mendo, the celebrated international DJ, producer and remixer, Clarisse Records has put together one of the best release schedules in the business, collecting cool club cuts from globally respected rulers of the groove, year in year out. 

In one deep breath Clarisse has counted on the clout of Audiojack, Cuartero, Daniel Orpi, DJ Sneak, Hector Couto, Jay Lumen, Kidoo, Lorenzo De Blank, Melanie Ribbe, Oxia, Sante Sansone, Technasia, Secondcity and Solardo, all stamping their quality across the Swiss-based label. Strengthening the Clarisse roster closer to home, Aaron Martin, Angel Heredia, Gustaff, Ordonezz, Roxy Delgado and Yvan Genkins are among those who’ve helped put Clarisse’s firm and funky foundations in place.

These formidable line-ups and heavy rotation of top-tier names mean charting success for Clarisse has come easily, and is a reflection of the career of the Swiss-born Mendo, who has been crossing the coordinates of deep, tech, tribal and funky house since the Millennium. Mendo’s debut album ‘Avalon’ lead to an unprecedented year of dominance of the Beatport charts, opening doors to an in-demand international schedule taking in Ibiza residencies and tours Down Under.

Since 2013, the Clarisse Nights label showcase has had all of Europe’s top clubs upholding Mendo's philosophy: "I just want people to have a good time with my music”. These nights are a vibes-heavy vehicle for Mendo and the Clarisse DJs team to put on a party that underlines the label’s signature sound while welcoming the best guest headliners. Carefully selected for their musical selection and dexterity behind the decks, those in tune with the label’s attitude make every date one to jump on.

More than jut a record label and moving with the scene to maximise the brand, Clarisse Records’ mixing and mastering services opened for business in 2022. With no better place to show off their style than the White Isle, the summer of 2023 saw Mendo fine-tune all of the label’s heaviest hitters, and then apply the magic touch to labels such as Hot Creations, Hottrax, Jamie Jones’ Paradise imprint, and The Martinez Brothers’ Cuttin’ Headz stable. Artists now know exactly where to go for all their mixdown and mastering needs, trusting in Mendo’s do’s and don’ts to give their beats that extra something for when summer season shouts full steam ahead. 

With the Clarisse DJs roster guaranteeing a roadblock every time they come to town, Clarisse Nights have already made steps en route to a worldwide takeover, capturing hotspots across Ibiza, London and Croatia. And there’s more to come, with Mendo having signed a partnership with HireOut bookings to further develop the Clarisse Nights experience. Promising nothing but the best in design, booking and promotion, and with new spaces in Spain, Switzerland and Latin America on the horizon, Clarisse continues to prove why it’s been a house and club success story for over 20 years.
