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.

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.
