WILL CLARKE: OPEN TO CLOSE

SEE EVENT DETAILS
An instantly recognizable DJ with his unique style and a one-of-a-kind beard, Will Clarke has solidified his place in dance music with hits like 'Booty Percolatin', 'Techno (Not Techno)' and recent remix of Adam Beyer's 'Your Mind', as well as releasing on a number of prominent labels including Truesoul, Abode, Relief, Drumcode, Sola, among many others.

Will's impressive producer repertoire and distinctive sound of rollicking bass, low-slung funk and infectious hooks are all sounds that have caught the attention of industry top players Carl Cox, Adam Beyer, Jamie Jones, Maya Jane Coles, Patrick Topping, Camelphat, and Fisher. Nominated as the 'Best Newcomer' in 2016 for the annual DJ Awards in Ibiza, Will Clarke has additionally culminated two Billboard Dance chart #1s for his remixes of U2 and Rihanna.

Having toured across Japan, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and extensively in the US, Will Clarke has captivated audiences across the globe with his effortless performance style and flawless live sets. Refusing to let this infringe on his music making, he has released tracks on Abode, Relief, Drumcode and Truesoul already this year - the latter a frenetic two-tracker alongside fellow Bristolian Eli Brown and his first-ever melodic EP Nothing Is Forever.

Closing out the year with two more EPs on We Are The Brave and TrueSoul, Will is gearing up to debut his own record label 'All We Have Is Now' in 2020. In support of the new project, Will Clarke is set to head out on a tour of exclusively open to close sets across North America. With hard work and raw talent in abundance, it's clear that Will Clarke possesses the substance to match that eye-catching style.

~~~~~~~~

Similar to many artists Will Clarke's sonic palette comes his experiences and influences from home and afar. The roots of his sound stem from both his home town of Bristol, and his seasonal home in Ibiza, which have forged Will's style; a style that fuses the best of Bristol's bass elements with the upfront house music sensibilities of the white isle.

Having started on his path of 4/4 discovery at a young age Will's early career defining moment was gaining a residency at Kanya in Ibiza, where he was able to hone his skills day and night in front of the Ibiza crowd, and his DJ peers, gaining fanbase and respect along the way. Will explains, "Playing in Ibiza felt natural straight away. I get on and work well there, it fits, it's my second home."

Cutting into the DJ circuit is no mean feat, but the cream rises to the top, so whilst Will is busy DJing at an ever growing list of clubs he's also getting prestigious gigs at clubs like Space and MOS. Along side these gigs Will has also be building his own club brand Cut a Rug. Holding regular parties at Motion in Bristol Cut A Rug have hosted the likes of Visionquest, Carl Cox, Boys Noize, Zombie Disco Squad and Hauswerks, with whom Will has been able to support on the decks, a job which is natural to him. Outside of the UK Will has been booked for his debut Australian tour towards the end of the summer. Along with trips back and fourth to NYC and not forgetting Ibiza during this summer.

Yet whilst DJing and promotion have been building well for Will, his real strengths lie in the studio. Having been committed to his studio for many years he also undertook a music production course that have seen him made rapid progress in a short time with releases on labels such as Anabatic, Exploited, Southern Fried, No Brainer along with the launch of his new label Cut A Rug. Some of Will's recent releases has had support from the likes of Jamie Jones, Mista Jam, Hannah Wants with plays on Radio 1 and Radio 1 Xtra.

Talking of his approach to productions Will says, "I make music for clobbers, not DJs. I sample a lot of old school rave tracks from the 90s, with 21st Century production techniques." Then add those little influences from Bristol and Ibiza and you will understand why Will's music holds such a broad appeal and is often supported by fellow DJ's such as Justin Martin, Seth Troxler, Ardlander, J.Philip, Worthy, T.Williams, Waifs & Strays, Pezzner and Miguel Migs.

Will Clarke is a talented, skilled, young producer who is making strides in the dance music business with his own sound and now his own label / events. He has an impressive list of quality productions and remixes that is growing month by month and a great track recordâEUR¨at his residencies and guest gigs. You know you can trust him to come up with the goods in the studio and in the club, Will just Cuts the Rug like that!
