Dummy Mix 517 // Clark

Featuring 15 unreleased tracks(!) from the Warp veteran...

Chris Clark is someone for whom exploring electronic pastures new is second nature. The electronic iconoclast, a Warp mainstay since 2001, has recently been marrying the unlikely partners of orchestral and rave into his productions, with his last album, ‘Death Peak’ chopping up EDM synths into hyper-complex, brutal techno constructions.

The revered producer and film composer just launched his own label – Throttle Records, inaugurated by his double A-side ‘E.C.S.T. T.R.A.X.’ that sees his favoured instrument (the harpsichord – which he’s described as “the original rave hoovers”) getting frenetically blitzed into something resembling medieval meets warehouse.

Of his mix, Clark says: “I loved the first 23 mins of music of this Dummy mix, but then I started shitting it – I had no idea what to do. But literally on the last day of deadline I plugged in some hardware, drum machines and synths/ fx pedals, hit record and had a right good ol’ bloody fun slab.

“I’ve basically just gone and given you ALL a load of unreleased tracks of mine in the form of a mixtape. Plus some favourite tunes of other artists I like.“
