Imagine running into The Clonious, that dude equipped with hundred headphones which directly interact with his musical epicentre. He elegantly puts together the apparent inconsiderable and the clearly essential elements, subsequently he breaks –music- into rhythm + harmonies to reach a point at which it is incontrovertible to discuss the perception that jazz is the mother of it all.
A soulsearcher and vinyl aficionado who wouldn’t mind to know how to smash a breakdance in a jam packed club, usually he ticks out without being asked anyhow though. His journey started in 2007 where he participated at the Red Bull Music Academy in Toronto. Just 2 years later he got signed by prestigious San Francisco based Ubiquity Records. Over the years, his debut album “Between the Dots” has become a modern classic.
In 2010 he teamed up with companion Cid Rim for the split EP “Full Nelson” and served a fine blend of new beat structures, various electronic uptempo styles plus a collaboration with highly regarded singer-songwriter and vocalist Paul Randolph from Detroit.
Over the years The Clonious proved his qualities as a versatile DJ and meticulously producer – most notable the creative force and production work for the Holy Oxygen series (AFF 012 & AFF 015) with South African rap artist Okmalumkoolkat. As a remixer as well – you can find various trademark reworks for the likes of british soul diva Alice Russell or US producer KRTS on his carte de visite. Today, The Clonious works primarily as a mastering engineer and producer.
