Clyde Beats: People – “Serve It Up feat. Capitol A”

Every track has a story. And in Clyde Beats: People, it’s the people behind the music who take centre stage.

In this episode, Clyde Beats explores the making of “Serve It Up feat. Capitol A” — a rich blend of broken beat, rap and soul, featuring the unmistakable vocals of Capitol A and Jane Hamilton. But the story runs deeper than the groove.

This track came to life thanks to a group of creative collaborators and moments that shaped its sound. From producers and vocalists to chance conversations, each person left a mark. And, as for the remixes, well…

  • Atjazz
  • Capitol A
  • Jane Hamilton
  • Magic Number
  • Tony Nwachukwu
  • Brooks

The video dives into how these names — and the energy they brought — helped turn a spark into a finished piece of music.

Great music doesn’t just happen. It’s built on connection, collaboration, and community. Serve It Up is a tribute to that process — and to the people who make it possible.

This is more than a song.

Clyde Beats’ Arrest: When British Hip Hop Got Too…

In a spicy turn of events, British hip-hop producer Clyde Beats, known for his provocative, bass-heavy tracks, was recently arrested in Putian, China. His crime? Making music so un-syncopated, sensual, and ridiculously indulgent that it apparently violated local decency laws—or so the authorities claim.

On tour and crafting his newest EP, Clyde didn’t realise that his latest track, “Dumplingz” would cause such a stir. Featuring pulsating basslines, suggestive moans, and samples of wok-fried noodles, the track became infamous overnight. Locals reported the beats were so hot and heavy, it was “like being seduced by a plate of Mapo tofu.” Police were soon on the scene, responding to complaints that Clyde’s music was making people “uncomfortably aroused and weirdly hungry” all over town.

When officers entered Clyde Beats studio, they found him deep in the zone, layering steamy vocals over the rhythmic thumps of what sounded like chopsticks clinking against porcelain. One baffled officer reportedly said, “It’s like he’s trying to turn a dim sum restaurant into a nightclub.”

Taken into custody, Clyde Beats was charged with “over-stimulating the senses.” During the trial, even the judge seemed overwhelmed, saying, “This is a bit too much—one minute you’re craving hotpot, the next you’re thinking about… well, something else entirely. Cough, cough.”

Now released on police bail, Clyde Beats is enjoying his newfound fame. Want to hear the beats that got him in trouble? Check out his website at www.clydebeats.co.uk and listen to all his latest music, including Hyper Reality 2: An English Gentleman (out now on Atjazz Record Company) on Bandcamp: tinyurl.com/IamClydeBeats. But be warned: these tracks might make you sweat—and not just from the spice.

Wonky Beats and Spicy Streets: The Sonic Journey of…

Born and raised in the UK, Clyde Beats was never one for the ordinary. From a young age, he gravitated toward the unconventional, the bizarre, and the beautifully chaotic. His journey through music began with the broken rhythms of old vinyl records his father collected, a jumble of sounds that twisted and turned in ways that spoke to his soul. But it wasn’t until he found himself in the heart of Putian, China, that his music truly found its voice.

Putian was a world away from the grey skies of Derby. The city was a vibrant tapestry of life, a sensory overload that pulsed with the energy of a place caught between ancient traditions and rapid modernization. Clyde had come for a change of scenery, but he stayed for something far deeper—the food, the culture, and the strange, unexplainable connection he felt to the city.

Every morning, Clyde would begin his day with a meditation session, sitting cross-legged on the floor of his small apartment, the sounds of the bustling street below filtering through his window. He focused on his breathing, letting the chaotic world around him fall away until there was nothing but the rhythm of his heartbeat and the pulse of the city outside.

After meditating, he would venture out to the local markets, where the air was thick with the scent of spices and sizzling street food. Clyde had developed a taste for the fiery heat of Sichuan peppercorns and the tang of fermented tofu, dishes that made his mouth tingle and his head swim. He believed the intensity of the flavours sharpened his senses, opening his mind to new sounds and rhythms.

Back in his apartment, Clyde would sit at his makeshift studio—a cluttered corner of his living room filled with instruments, old vinyl records, and tangled cables. He would begin to create, pulling sounds from the depths of his mind, from the streets of Putian, and from the pounding in his chest after a particularly spicy meal. His beats were wonky, and off-kilter, a blend of traditional Chinese instruments and glitchy, distorted synths that seemed to defy logic.

There were moments when the intensity of it all became too much—when the burning in his stomach from too much spicy hotpot mixed with the overwhelming rush of creativity, and he would have to stop, his head spinning, his stomach churning. More than once, he found himself running to the bathroom, vomiting up the very essence of his process, a strange, almost ritualistic purge of everything that was holding him back.

But Clyde didn’t see it as a setback. To him, it was all part of the journey, a necessary release that allowed him to dig deeper, to push the boundaries of what his music could be. He would return to his instruments, hands shaking, head still buzzing, and begin again.

The music that emerged from these sessions was unlike anything anyone had heard before—raw, chaotic, and beautifully imperfect. It was as if Clyde Beats had channelled the very essence of Putian into his beats, capturing the city’s soul in every wonky rhythm and offbeat drop. His tracks quickly gained a following, first in the underground scene in China, and then internationally, as word spread of the eccentric British producer living in the heart of a Chinese city, creating sounds that defied categorisation.

Clyde Beats became a name known for its originality, its boldness, and its refusal to conform. And while his process might have been unorthodox—meditating until he was one with his instruments, consuming food so spicy it made him sick—it was undeniably effective. Clyde Beats had found his voice, and it was as wild, unpredictable, and beautifully wonky as the city that had inspired it.

Clyde Beats Top 10 Life Changing Moments Playlist

Greetings, fellow music aficionados!

Today, we embark on a melodious journey through the life of Clyde Beats, the Derby-born maestro now living it up in Shenyang, China.

Clyde Beats has curated a playlist of ten tracks, each penned during pivotal moments in his life, with a little help from his friends.

Let’s delve into the stories behind these tunes and the hilariously heartfelt experiences that inspired them…

1: ‘Serve It Up’

Picture this: Clyde Beats, fresh out of the Midlands, steps into a bustling club in Shenyang, China. Amidst the neon lights and thumping bass, he spots a girl who changes everything. Co-written with the legendary Capitol A, this track captures the electric moment when eyes meet across the dance floor and the night takes an unexpected turn. It’s all about the magic of serendipity and, of course, Clyde’s unparalleled ability to “Serve It Up” on the dance floor.

2: ‘So Much To Give’

They say if you love someone, let them go. Clyde Beats took this to heart after a whirlwind romance that ended in a tearful farewell. This soulful ballad is his ode to love and loss, a reminder that sometimes, the most loving thing you can do is to let go.

3: ‘Hold Me Back’

Rising from the ashes of a bad breakup, Clyde Beats found his inner phoenix. Co-written with Peacey, this song is an anthem of resilience and defiance, proving that nothing—and no one—can hold them back. Both Clyde Beats and Peacey shared similar heartbreaks, and this track became their rallying cry to all the heartbroken souls out there: get up, dust yourself off, and keep dancing.

4: ‘Roll of the Beast’

Taking a serious turn, this track addresses the ongoing persecution of certain Muslim communities in Gaza, Iraq, and Syria. It’s a powerful reminder that music can be a voice for the voiceless, shedding light on injustices that must be confronted.

5: ‘ILVURSND’

Ah, young love! Clyde Beats’ younger girlfriend, far (some say embarrassingly) younger than him, had a unique way of expressing her affection, particularly during intimate moments. This cheeky tune immortalises those sounds of passion, blending humour and romance in a way only Clyde Beats can. It’s a playful nod to an adventurous chapter in his adult life.

6: ‘Where Did I Go Wrong?’

Breakups are never easy, and this track dives deep into the sorrow and self-reflection that follows. It’s Clyde’s way of asking the age-old question, “Where did it all go wrong?” with a melody that tugs at the heartstrings.

7: ‘See Your True Self’

This sensual song invites listeners to look beyond the surface. Inspired by a particularly intimate moment, it’s all about vulnerability and seeing each other’s true selves, warts and all, during those special times.

8: ‘Too Blind 2 See’

Another breakup song highlights the moments of clarity that often come too late. Clyde’s raw emotion and introspection make this track a poignant reminder of love lost and lessons learned.

9: ‘Better’

Written during the aftermath of another relationship’s end (well, the same one as their previous collab with Peacey, actually. They humorously dubbed the initial draft of their track ‘Bitter’), this song is about emerging stronger and better. Co-written with Peacey, it’s Clyde’s personal mantra, a testament to the power of moving forward and self-improvement.

10: ‘Come Clean’

The final track addresses mental health, capturing the turmoil of a mental breakdown. Clyde’s honest lyrics and haunting melody shine a light on the importance of seeking help and the courage it takes to come clean about one’s struggles.

And there you have it—a playlist that encapsulates Clyde Beats’ life, from the vibrant streets of Derby to the dynamic pulse of Shenyang. Each track is a chapter in his story, filled with love, loss, resilience, and a dash of cheeky humour.

So, grab your headphones, hit play HERE, and let Clyde Beats take you on a musical journey through his unforgettable experiences.

Clyde Beats - Hello World feat. OVEOUS News

How Clyde Beats Wrote Hello World featuring OVEOUS

Clyde Beats - Hello World feat. OVEOUSIn the quaint streets of Derby, UK, despite his British roots, Clyde Beats packed his bags and traded the rolling Derbyshire hills for the bustling streets of Shenyang, China, where he set up his ‘Laboratory of Beats‘. Some believe the Communist Party of China might have partially funded this.

One fateful night, amidst the neon glow of Shenyang city (Zhong Jie, so be precise), Clyde Beats found himself struck with a wild idea: to create the toughest, scariest hip-hop tune the world had ever heard, yet that it be as beautiful as it was nasty. And so, with a twinkle in his eye and a skip in his step, Clyde Beats got to work.

His secret weapon? The infamous jerk beat or wonk beat (call it what you will) – a rhythm so erratic, it could make even the most seasoned dancers break a sweat and in some cases, fit. With each thumping bassline and thunderous drumbeat, Clyde Beats unleashed a sonic storm unlike anything the world had ever experienced.

But what’s a terrifying tune without a touch of tranquillity? Enter OVEOUS, the enlightened rap guru whose flow was as peaceful as a Zen garden. With his silky smooth rhymes, OVEOUS added a layer of serenity to Clyde’s cacophony of chaos, creating a juxtaposition that left listeners scratching their heads in awe.

And now, dear reader, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. “Hello World featuring OVEOUS“: the spine-chilling collaboration between Clyde Beats and OVEOUS, is available for streaming and download on all major platforms courtesy of Atjazz Record Company. Get ‘Hello World featuring OVEOUS‘ HERE!

So, what are you waiting for? Dive into the madness and embrace the fear. But feel the love at the same time. Just don’t blame us if you find yourself sleeping with the lights on tonight!
