CLINTON BROWN
Clinton Brown is a man on the move; part of a new wave of second-generation DJ/producers injecting fresh ideas & impetus into the electronic music scene. A fairly recent convert to all things electronic, Clinton found his natural musical standing, fittingly enough, on the Space Terrace in Ibiza. A familiar tale but it is how Clinton used this inspiration to drive his own determination that sets him aside as one of the one-to-watch talents.
Having worked his way through the ranks of local DJ's in his hometown of Bristol, Clinton secured regular appearances at popular midweek night 'Koko'. However, it was towards the end of Summer 2006 that things really took off with two key residencies one for renowned after-hours shindig Twisted and one for arguably Bristol 's most popular underground night 'Electroquisite' which Clinton still holds to this day. Playing alongside the likes of Nic Fanciulli, Spirit Catcher, Paul Woolford Sebastien Leger, Rene Amesz, Dirty South, Richard Dinsdale, Micky Slim and Serge Santiago this residency has gifted Clinton the opportunity to not only learn off the best there is at first hand but to craft a DJ style that can cater to a variety of situations and styles.
Naturally enough, a burgeoning production career followed Clinton's success as a DJ however it is rare for someone to come through the ranks in such spectacular fashion. Writing with friend Adam Shaw, Clinton made his production debut for PH Zero. The track, Screamo, was remixed by Dave Robertson and went on to attract a good deal of attention from the likes of Rene Amesz and Luke Dzierzek, even appearing as one of the featured tracks on MTV's 2008 coverage of Creamfieldsfestival. From this position of strength Clinton's production profile is about to leap-frog above many of his peers with forthcoming signings to world renowned record labels Cr2 (Kiss Of Death due April) and Renaissance (Sabotage with Andy Chatterley. 2009 is following in better fashion with remixes for Audio Therapy, Rebirth as well as having his track Pesticide- with Miltos on the Jim rivers GU Nubreed Compilation. Clinton is definitely one to watch out for.
