Claptone emerged from the shadows around 2012. The enigmatic DJ and producer shrouded in a distinctive golden mask rose to fame ignited by the release of the hypnotic track ‘No Eyes’. This was swiftly followed by a string of chart-topping originals like 'Cream’‚ 'Wrong’ and 'Heartbeat’. With 'Before I Lose My Mind‘, ‘Under The Moon’ and ‘The Drums (Din Daa Daa)’ he solidified his position in the global electronic music scene. Claptone's musical alchemy blends house, deep house, and tech house, crafting an infectious groove that resonates across a diverse audience. With three critically acclaimed albums - ‘Charmer’ (2015), ‘Fantast’ (2018), and ‘Closer’ (2021) - he seamlessly weaves soulful melodies with danceable beats, merging indie-pop with House Music. His collaborative genius shines through partnerships with icons like Seal and Barry Manilow, and rising stars such as James Vincent McMorrow, Nathan Nicholson or Peter Bjorn and John.
His remix prowess is equally legendary. Claptone's reimagining of Gregory Porter’s ‘Liquid Spirit’, Mark Ronson’s "Don’t Leave Me Lonely’, Mylo’s ‘Drop The Pressure’, Elton John and Dua Lipa’s ‘Cold Heart’, and Michael Kiwanuka’s ‘You Ain’t The Problem’ have garnered widespread acclaim, even earning a spot on Barack Obama’s 2021 Summer Playlist.
Behind his mysterious mask, Claptone's allure is undeniable, amplified by the success of his ‘The Masquerade’ events. These Venetian masked balls create a unique, immersive party atmosphere with elaborate decorations and theatrical experiences. From Los Angeles to London, Amsterdam to Mexico City, and beyond, Claptone's Masquerades have captivated audiences worldwide. The pinnacle of these events is perhaps the residences at Ibiza’s iconic Pacha and now Amnesia, featuring a star-studded lineup including Diplo, Jungle, John Summit, Purple Disco Machine, and Fatboy Slim.
Renowned for his dynamic live performances, Claptone's dedication has earned him prestigious awards, including being voted the Highest House DJ in DJ Mag's T op 100 DJs poll for 5 years in a row. With over 275 shows annually, he brings his electrifying sets to the world's biggest stages: T omorrowland, Coachella, Rock in Rio, Creamfields, Ultra Music Festival, and many more.
Expanding his global influence, Claptone launched his own label, Golden Recordings. The label’s scorching Claptone singles, such as ‘The Big Easy’ and ‘Euphoria’, have amassed millions of streams. It’s a platform to celebrate house music’s golden era, featuring hits from friendly artists like Wh0, Crusy, CASSIMM, Yolanda Be Cool and many more.
Claptone’s ability to maintain anonymity while achieving global fame underscores his unique artistry and innovative conceptual approach. His blend of mystery, music, and performance art continues to enchant audiences worldwide, affirming his status as a standout figure in electronic music. Claptone remains a trailblazer, constantly pushing the boundaries of his craft and creating unforgettable experiences for his fans.
