Claptone:
Yet after just two releases they were already riding high on the pinnacles of success. At the time of writing, "Cream" is sitting happily in the Beatport Top 10, where it has been nesting contently for the first two months. It's upbeat, deep house party grooves have been filling the DJ boxes of thousands worldwide." The mysterious Claptone first burst onto the scene in 2011 with an EP titled "She Loves You" featuring 4 tracks of soulful deep house perfection. Although not much is yet known other than he wears a long, pointed-nose face mask to hide his identity, he's off to a great start with tracks as golden as these. Definitely an artist worth following. Since this past June Claptone has put out 4 new releases which have all equally gained the title of "dance floor classics". Tracks from Claptone have been supported by everyone from DJ Hell, to A-Trak, DJ Sneak, Soul Clap, Solomun, Azari&III, Hot Chip, Noir, Julio Bashmore, Tensnake, Eats Everything, Matthew Dear and Tim Sweeney.Reminiscent of the super patient, minimal, and downright seductive bootlegs that Soul Clap was pushing out a couple of years ago (see Extravaganza, Sex In the Kitchen, and Rock the Boat) the release from the mysterious act Claptone entitled "Cream" utilizes the same tension and release tantra-esque production techniques with great success. Sampling one of the most recognizable piano intros from the 90's hip hop cannon (Wu Tang's "C.R.E.A.M." if you haven't already figured out), Claptone twist this nostalgic loop into a deep house dance floor filler. Released on the steadily incredible Exploited Records imprint, this track has been popping up in sets from the aforementioned Soul Clap to house maestro, DJ Sneak. Now the video promo for the release is just downright weird...silent films, clowns, ballerinas...DJHell: "Cream is the first club hit in 2012."
