Mix #22: Clarence Clarity • Neu • DIY Magazine

Clarence Clarity’s

music is not some wild, fortuned accident. When he takes a shiny pop track and flips it inside out - he did this to a T with a recent ‘cover’ of Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’ - he’s forcing out ideas, pushing things to their very limit. That’s what makes him, arguably, the most exciting new producer in the UK.

His mix for DIY Weekly is a mission statement. It’s not just a jumbling together of songs. Beginning with a sample that announces his name in full-bodied detail, he then proceeds to project a ‘symmetrical’ mix, opening and closing with William Basinski and skewing classic soul and 50s pop in some weird, near-collapsing concoction. No half-ideas, no missteps. Calculated and crazed, listen to his exclusive mix now.
