MUSIC as MEDICINE

The Healing power of Electronic Music

BIO
Clain, raised in the vibrant city of Paris, has been immersed in music since childhood. A classically trained musician with a deep passion for sound exploration, Clain pursued advanced studies in sound and image processing, which eventually led to a career as an engineer. However, his heart always remained tied to the arts, particularly music and culture, both of which play a central role in his life. For Clain, each performance—whether musical or audiovisual—reveals a different incarnation of Clement, offering audiences a glimpse into his many creative dimensions.

Clain’s adventurous spirit reflects a life lived at full speed. A modern-day 2.0 dandy, he constantly seeks the unexpected and pushes boundaries in every set and show. His performances are dynamic, innovative, and infused with a passion for discovery, blending genres and styles in ways that captivate and inspire. For Clain, music is more than entertainment; it’s a vehicle for exploration, personal expression, and connection.

In late 2022, Clain founded "MUSIC as MEDICINE", a radio show, label and party dedicated to electronic music. This weekly show is a natural extension of his desire to heal and inspire through music, providing listeners with a sonic journey that reflects Clain's diverse musical influences and creative vision. Through "MUSIC as MEDICINE," he not only curates exclusive mixes but also highlights emerging talent and unique tracks from across the globe. His SoundCloud page, which features past episodes of the show, has become a go-to destination for fans seeking fresh, immersive sounds.

Driven by his enthusiasm for live performances, Clain consistently seeks opportunities to share his work on stage. Whether performing at intimate venues or large festivals, his goal is always the same: to create an experience that resonates deeply with his audience. Through his carefully crafted sets and his relentless pursuit of artistic growth, Clain continues to establish himself as a unique voice in the electronic music scene. His commitment to pushing musical boundaries while remaining true to his roots ensures that every performance, mix, and project is a reflection of his evolving journey as both an artist and a storyteller.

The Black Girl Podcast is a new audio series created by Scottie Beam (@scottiebeam on twitter/IG), Gia Peppers (@giapeppers), Sapphira (@sapphiraem), Bex (@BexxFrancois), and Alysha P (@AlyshaP819/@AlyshaP).  After the five media phenoms met and became friends at hip hop's most iconic station, Hot 97, they decided to make their hilarious conversations about life issues, sisterhood, pop culture, love, growth, and the pursuit of their dreams to the public.  Listen every week as their differing opinions and life experiences lead them to understand themselves, and the world around them, a little bit better.  Hopefully, you'll laugh, argue, and learn something about yourselves, too.  Follow us on Twitter and IG @blackgirlpod.

Keinemusik is a network with the label as the pulse pumping centre. Driven particularly by the spirit that moves the collective behind the imprint. The spirit to find your own agenda and let nobody get in the way. The spirit of refining House and Techno off the beaten path. Be it within their own tracks, within productions of other sorts or DJ-sets. The spirit of recall value within record- and flyer-artworks and everything intermediate in word and image surrounding releases and parties. And the spirit of diversification – Rampa’s effect-gadget-venture TEILE being one example. Keinemusik’s own booking department ‘Worldwide Dancing Club’, established in 2018, being another.

Keinemusik has been around since 2009. It has been naming an existing friendship and linked interests of the four members – &ME, Adam Port, Rampa and Reznik. A more or less constant count of five releases per year have been released ever since, solely laid down by members of the crew. And a considerable count of label-parties went down, not only in Berlin, but around all international focal points for electronic music. And surely, there’s plenty more where those came from. So see you soon in a record store or on a dancefloor in your area!
