Clyde Beats Sang That? News

Clyde Beats Remixed, Sang On and or Wrote These?…

Introducing the one, the only, the musical maestro extraordinaire – Clyde Beats! If you haven’t heard of him yet, well, buckle up, because you’re in for a ride through the wild world of beats, tunes, and downright wonkiness.
Picture this: a man with an Akai S3000 in one hand and a coffee mug in the other, feverishly tapping away at his computer, concocting beats that could make even a stone statue break out into hives. Yes, that’s Clyde Beats for you – part musical genius, part caffeine-fueled wizard.

But little do some people know some of the tunes they know and love were either co-written, sung on or remixed by Clyde Beats. There are a few notable examples in the playlist featured below.

Let’s start with his writing prowess. Legend has it that Clyde Beats doesn’t write music; he summons it from the depths of his soul/hell (select as appropriate), where melodies frolic with harmonies and lyrics dance with rhythm. His pen is (note the space between s and p, please) mightier than any sword, crafting stories that tug at heartstrings and get necks snapping simultaneously.

But wait, there’s more! Clyde Beats doesn’t just write music; he sings it too. Picture a voice that’s smoother than butter melting on a hot pan, with a range that could make Mariah Carey jealous (Note to author: Tone this down, perhaps). Whether he’s belting out ballads or serenading with soulful tunes, Clyde Beats vocals are like a warm hug for your ears.

Now, onto production. They say behind every great artist is an even greater producer, and Clyde Beats is no exception. Except he’s his own producer. In fact he does a lot of things himself in the privacy of his apartment. But anyway… Armed with nothing but a laptop and a dream, he transforms raw sounds into sonic masterpieces. From hip-hop to house, groove to… other stuff, there’s no genre Clyde Beats can’t conquer with his production prowess.

And let’s not forget about remixing. Clyde Beats takes already amazing tracks and sprinkles them with his own special blend of hot sauce/musical madness, turning good songs into absolute gems. It’s like he has a secret recipe for turning musical gold into platinum. It’s Lauganma. But don’t tell anyone.

Peacey - Play It By Ear News

Peacey – Play It By Ear

Music is like buses to me in 2024. In a very positive way, not like being expensive, late and full of unpleasant people. No, quite the opposite: as in when you wait and wait for something, then three things come along at once.

I enjoyed working with Peacey on two tracks that feature on his debut album, Play It By Ear, which is out now through Atjazz Record Company. The album is astoundingly good and is clearly produced by a seasoned music maestro. There are some superb featured artists (along with me, of course), insane programming and production, and the result is a long player that will weather extremely well.

Clyde Beats - Serv It Up. News

The Unbelievable Origins of Jerk Beat

In the bustling city of Derby, UK, amidst the rhythmic clatter of the manufacturing industry, there lived a humble beatmaker named Clyde Beats. Clyde Beats was no ordinary producer – he had a knack for concocting beats that were as wonky as they were funky. In fact, there was one project whereby the snare drums were so early that they had to be released as a separate download/stream a week before the rest of the album.

Legend has it that one rainy afternoon, taking inspiration from his heroes who include J Dilla, DJ Premier, Pete Rock and many more, while tinkering away in his makeshift studio, Clyde Beats accidentally spilt a pot of the previous night’s masala dal onto his trusty Akai S3000 sampler. Instead of cursing his misfortune, Clyde Beats decided to embrace the chaos and incorporate the sounds of Derby’s favourite dish into his music.

To his amazement, the mishap resulted in a sound so peculiar, so irresistibly wonky, that Clyde Beats couldn’t help but groove along. He dubbed it “Jerk Beat” and the rest, as they say, is history.

Word of Clyde’s quirky creation spread like wildfire throughout Derby, from the streets of Normanton to the clubs of Darley Abbey. Soon, local artists were lining up to collaborate with Clyde Beats, eager to add a touch of Derby’s unique flavour to their music.

With its wonky beats and basslines, offbeat samples, and unmistakably Derbyshire charm, Jerk Beat became the city’s anthem – a testament to Clyde’s ingenuity and creativity.

As the years went by, Jerk Beat continued to evolve, laying the foundations for the rebirth of Hip House (Listen to Clyde – Serve It Up featuring Capitol A) spreading far beyond the borders of Derby to captivate audiences around the world. But no matter how far it travelled, its heart remained firmly rooted in the streets where it was born.

Today, Clyde Beats may be just a name in the annals of Derby’s musical history, but his legacy lives on in every wonky, jerky beat. So the next time you find yourself tapping your feet to the sounds of Jerk Beat Hip Hop, remember the humble origins of this beloved genre – and raise a toast to Clyde Beats, the unsung hero of Derby’s music scene.
