Claptone

MUSIC BAND
Claptone, a mysterious persona shrouded in enigma yet steadily making powerful waves across the globes, is one of the most distinctive figures in the modern global dance music scene. Known for his signature golden mask with an elongated beak, Claptone is a unique character, an electronic music DJ and producer who strikes a compelling figure in the world of Dance/Electronic Club Dance music.

No one knows the person behind the mask, and perhaps, that's the allure, making Claptone more a concept than a person, more a musical entity than an artist. The iconic golden mask embellished with elongated beak and finch-like features serves an intriguing purpose - to divert attention from the person onto the music. Claptone wants us to immerse ourselves in the enchanting melodies, heart-pounding beats, and stirring rhythms rather than focus on the person behind the music.

Since his debut in 2012 with an explosive remix of the track "Cream" by Romanthony, Claptone has established a recognisable sound: a fusion of jazz, funk, soul, disco, and even country into his house music. His style ranges from uplifting and energetic to somber and contemplative tunes, and his versatility has graced numerous prestigious music charts and platforms worldwide. The charisma that Claptone's music exudes has led him to be a prominent fixture at major dance events and renowned music festivals across the globe, from Tomorrowland to Coachella.

In 2015, Claptone released his debut album, "Charmer," which features collaborations with various artists, and showcases the defined style blending house, techno, and electronica he is known for. The album was a major success, further establishing his reputation in the dance music industry.

Despite the mystery surrounding his identity, Claptone remains a considerable source of influence. He was voted “Highest House” in DJ Magazine's Top 100 DJs poll, signaling a renaissance of house music and recognizing his impact in preserving and evolving the genre.

Outside of his music production, Claptone is known for mind-blowing live sets that fuse different genres, eras, and styles into a seamless, mesmerizing musical journey. He also runs a successful weekly podcast 'Clapcast', which showcases a curation of his favourite tracks, thereby further establishing his distinct musical taste and style.

The charm of Claptone lies not only in his music but also in the mystery that surrounds him, the elusive persona encompasses the experience: it's about losing oneself in the music, immersing in the emotive melodies, and dancing to the dynamic beats. Claptone invites us to partake in an intimate experience where music reigns supreme over identity, where rhythm and beats become an expression of the soul. Regardless of the masquerade, or perhaps because of it, Claptone continues to captivate audiences worldwide, firmly cementing his place in the pantheon of Dance/Electronic Club Dance music.
