The term quality over quantity is painfully overused, but in Jay Clarke’s case it’s a fitting descriptive for the way the UK artist approaches every facet of his musical career. A trusted Klockworks artist, he’s contributed two acclaimed EPs (KW18, KW28) and a track (‘Perdita’) to the KW20 compilation, while Ben Klock has selected him to play Photon Events at Berghain, Bassiani and Awakenings at Gashouder.

He is best known for his energetic and groovy peak-time DJ sets across Europe and beyond, taking heavy influence from 90’s Techno and also Drum & Bass. He seamlessly blends together modern rollers with percussive loopy hardgroove, alongside straight-up heavy bangers. DJ Mag rightly heralded his skills, stating: ‘Jay is considered in his approach, but unconstricted by stylistic boundaries, happy to mix nosebleed slammers with heady rollers and even more upbeat or electro efforts’.
Jay also runs the thoughtfully-curated BLACKAXON label, a creative outlet allowing him to showcase sounds from across the Techno and wider Electronic spectrum, including releases from emerging talents such as Yant, David Piras and Alex Morgan, forthcoming releases from Kaylah and Countingsheep, as well as his own free-wheeling work.

Positive, hard-working and a gifted DJ and producer, Jay Clarke’s determination and unwavering passion for learning put him in a class of his own. Within a few short years Jay has established himself as one to watch and, with the backing of some of the techno world’s most respected outfits, he is on course to exceed all expectations...
