Clyde Beats – Hyper Reality 2 – Players and…

A short blog listing all of the personnel who contributed towards Clyde Beats ‘Hyper Reality 2: An English Gentleman’.

When one considers the immense talents who committed to this project, there’s little wonder it’s an album I feel so proud of.

Here are the main players…

Atjazz

The man who inspired me to sing and who taught me how to layer my vocals in the first place. We share very similar musical values and have produced some great tracks together. An accomplished keyboard player, you’ll hear his Rhodes licks in places and his extensive studio engineering skills all across this album.

Peacey

Another long-time friend. We’ve shared the good times and the bad times and these can be heard in our two collaborative works on this album.

Jane Hamilton

This brilliant talent and overall quality person blessed my first album with some very memorable writing and performances. I’m elated to have her on my follow-up album. Her appearances on this LP are some of her best works, in my humble opinion.

Octavio N. Santos

What began as a radio drop for his show back in the day resulted in some stellar horn features across my album, as well as a song he wrote the rap for and spat on, too!

AMALIA

Having followed her Tokyo Dawn career and then experiencing her collaboration with Atjazz, having the opportunity to work with AMALIA was one I jumped at!

OVEOUS

Drawn to my attention through his work with Atjazz, OVEOUS is another artist I feel privileged to have worked with.

Magic Number

Although I’ve known him for many, many years, it wasn’t until COVID hit that we were joined together musically. Ross’ bass playing is ‘OK’, so I thought I’d help the chap out and have him on a track or two on “Hyper Realty 2: An English Gentleman”. He has yet to thank me.

Jakka Blades

Introduced through label mate and long-time friend, Si Tew, I was pleasantly surprised by what rap talent Derby had to offer. Jakka Blades came to a session with his twin brother and they both tore the mic up.

Manny Marko

Jakka’s twin, Manny brought a different energy to the studio and I’m glad to have met these very similar, yet different twin emcees.

DJ Hudson

The Derby energy and the force are strong in this one. Alex is a very familiar Derby face who DJs incredible sets around the city and beyond. When he agreed to perform the cuts on two of my album tunes, I was properly made up.

Jabba Tha Kut

Since we’re talking of ‘the force’ and we’ve spoken of Jakka and Manny, they connected me with Jabba Tha Kut. Jabba delivered two stunning turntable performances on the album.

Other Players

A shout out to Stuart from Subism for turning my album artwork concept into a polished end-product.

And last but not least, quite a few people were involved in the writing of this album who don’t feature directly on it. Those people were the ones who took me on journeys of life, love and all of them, learning. Thank you for the bad times and the good times. All of them made me ‘Better’.

And there we have it! These are the outstanding individuals who form the synergy of Clyde Beats ‘Hyper Reality 2: An English Gentleman’, available through Atjazz Record Company via all leading music sites here: https://orcd.co/arc247ad.
