Berlin-based artist Clarence crafts hypnotic sounds between Deep House and Dub Techno, turning personal reflections into club-ready experiences
Read MoreINTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND
Hey, I'm Clarence. I'm based in Berlin and I make music that floats somewhere between Deep House and Dub/Minimal Techno. My journey started back in the 2000s when I first got into DJing. Producing only came into the picture about a year ago, but I quickly realized it's not just a hobby – it's the language I can express myself with best.
MUSICAL IDENTITY
My sound is a blend of Minimal Techno, Dub Techno, and Deep House – a little melancholic, a little playful, sometimes experimental, but always meant to be club-ready. I put a lot of myself into the music: my reflective side, my humor, and also that constant sense of longing that's always with me.
CURRENT WORK
My latest release is called Diving EP. It was inspired by the feeling that in life, balance between depth and surface is everything. Sometimes you need to dive deep into things to truly understand them. But not always – sometimes it's enough to just glide over the surface, otherwise it can consume you too much.
Right now, I'm especially excited about a few remixes I'm working on for some well-known names in the Dub Techno scene. It's a lot of fun and a huge learning process for me. I'm also really proud of the cover artworks for my releases – they're always designed by a good friend of mine. That's important to me, because my music should always connect with visual art as well.
PROMOTION & ENGAGEMENT
For me, the best way to connect is by staying authentic and giving people a glimpse into how the music comes together – whether it's little clips on Instagram or chatting with people at gigs. I'm active online, but nothing beats real conversations.

ADDITIONAL INSIGHTS
Besides my own projects, I love collaborating with other artists. That's where new vibes and ideas are born that I'd never come up with on my own. I'm also really into art – especially visuals and fashion. For one of my recent releases we even did shirts and tank tops, which was super exciting. For my next projects I'm already planning a few more little extras. For me, it all belongs together – music, art, and the experience around it.

Collider EP (C0004)
When something collides it is like a particle accelerator. When moving fast you achieve goals which you never thought of. This can be while transporting or other situations in your daily life.

Verify EP (C0002)
Who are you? Where do you want to go? Who do you want to be? The two new tracks from @clarence_music_ are about reflecting and taking a step back and considering who we want to be, in the here and now. The challenge of being, of the here and now.
