Moussa Clarke

Moussa Clarke is an inspirational DJ/producer with a worldwide reputation for igniting dancefloors from London to Moscow to Tokyo and back again. Never far from the madding crowd – apart from when he’s cooking up monster basslines and electrochemical beats in the studio – he’s also founder of the thriving London-based label and DJ agency Oven Ready. Born in Switzerland, half English, half Senegalese, he found his feet in France and Italy, and then travelled the globe before moving to the UK aged 12.  His father an immigrant from Dakar, his mother a roving bohemian opera singer, his unique personal history created the perfect storm. Cue Moussa Clarke: a multilingual, musically gifted and stylistically diverse DJ.

Moussa’s passion for emotive dance music hails partly from the classical styles passed down by his mother. He also grew up under the influence of 80s pop music, learning to play both the guitar and keyboards. But more than anything, he was turned on to the magic of loops through pioneers such as Kevin Saunderson, Leftfield and Slam as well as house music luminaries like Marshall Jefferson, Tony Humphries and Frankie Knuckles. Then came the UK’s ‘Summer of Love’. A time when Moussa would relish the nocturnal rumblings of Mr C’s infamous Braintree Barn sessions in Essex, and party hard at the Crazy Club in London. He made the transition from the dancefloor to the decks at the age of 18, and won his first break in 1990 when he moved to Paris. Here he accepted a residency at the momentous Soma parties that erupted on top of the Pompidou Centre, lining up with such revered talents as Andy Weatherall, Darren Emerson and Sasha. Moussa returned to the UK in 1991, but continued to electrify the clubbing community at large with a surge of gigs across Europe.

Moussa unleashed his first track in 1994, working with Jamie White under the moniker Party Faithful. ‘Let There Be House’ initially came out on Oven Ready, a label Moussa set up with an old school friend. The track was soon snapped up by XL Recordings and even made the UK’s Top 50. Moussa and Jamie continued to collaborate - evolving into the PF Project, they produced the massive ‘Choose Life’, which sampled the actor Ewan McGregor’s anti-establishment rant from the cult movie Trainspotting. Starting out as a cool bootleg for the clubs, the track exploded into the Top 10 when Positiva officially released it in 1997, and led the guys to a TV appearance on the legendary Top of the Pops (RIP). Moussa and Jamie returned to the charts soon after as Tzant, with a ubiquitous speaker freaker called ‘Sounds of Wickedness’, then Moussa hooked up with Nick Hanson under the alias Musique to deliver ‘New Year’s Dub’. Their ballistic bootleg was signed to Universal back in 2001 – the year Moussa’s Miami Winter Music Conference took an exceptionally surreal twist when Universal sent the starstruck pair to meet U2 in Florida to film the video for the single.

Equally at home producing underground clubland stormers or chart-bothering dance bombs, Moussa has always enjoyed juxtaposing diverse genres and mashing them up to reveal innovative new sounds. Indeed, it’s one of his specialities. As a producer par excellence, he has built up a mind-blowing body of work over the years and his name is credited on more than 150 tracks and remixes. He has remixed a huge range of artists, including Adamski, Afrika Bambaataa, Monie Love, Nitin Sawhney, Phats & Small and more recently, Simple Minds, Wally Lopez and Jody Wisternoff.  In the last year he has produced an alarming array of singles that are set to scorch dancefloors wherever and whenever they are heard. These include “Regret” (Dumb Recordings), ‘Love Key’ featuring Fisher (Slammin Muzik), ‘Fade Away’ featuring Daniel Sherman (Starview), and ‘She Wants Him’ (Armada).

Meanwhile, whether he’s dicing it up at an intimate gig by the Gulf in Dubai, rocking a packed club in London, or headlining a 5,000-strong rave in Russia, Moussa continues to expand his horizons as a DJ, and turn it up yet another notch... The world may now be flat, but musically he remains way ahead of the curve!

My Summer 2010 Mixtape

I know we're pretty much in Autumn, at least in this hemisphere, but this was recorded a few weeks back, so Summer Mixtape it is!

It's my usual mash-up style, and runs the whole gamut from funkier house sounds to big room tribal bangers, to blissed out techno and nu-pop, all with its eye on firmly on the dancefloor. Featuring tracks and remixes from Max Sedgley, Kobbe, Basskleph, Max Cooper, Starsmith, Russ Chimes, Dr. Kucho and more... Full tracklist below!

I love feedback, so please leave me a comment, send me an email, or catch me on Facebook or Twitter.

"Acid Piano" with DJ 19 and Hiroko Inokuchi

Hirko Inokuchi

Out this week is another collaboration of mine, this time with DJ 19 from Tokyo, and featuring Japanese Shigin songstress Hiroko Inokuchi. It's called, slightly misleadingly, "Acid Piano" (but there is indeed acid and piano in DJ 19's version of the track) Remixes come from Canadians Les Boyz Electro, Egypt's Tamer Fouda and Belgium's Dimix, with support from all over the show, including Oliver Lang, Larry Tee, Benji Candelario and loads more... It's out now on Japanese label 19Box Records, via Beatport.

Open Source & Free Audio Software & Plug-Ins for Mac OS X

Reaper

I use open-source software all the time outside of my studio work, but I still turn to trusty Logic Pro for sequencing/DAW. However it's perfectly possible to go Open Source or Free (as in Beer) in the studio too these days. Easier on the wallet, and no need to go down the dodgy crack route... Here's a list of some stuff I've tried out, some of which I use regularly in my own productions and remixes. It's mostly OS X, since that's what I use for production personally, but most of these have Linux or Windows versions too...

Audio Editing
Audacity
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Very decent open-source audio editor.

Switch
http://www.nch.com.au/switch/mp3.html
Batch converter for WAV/AIFs/mp3s. Essential little tool.

Sequencers/DAWs
Ardour
http://ardour.org/
A full featured Open Source DAW/Sequencer. You need to pay a minimum of 1$ (more if you're feeling flush) to get the full version which allows you to load and save Audio Unit settings.

Reaper
http://reaper.fm/
Not really Free nor Open Source, but I'm including this here because it's very reasonably priced (60 US$ at time of writing) and because it allows you to download a full uncrippled version for evaluation purposes. It's also a little less quirky than Ardour, especially if like me you're more used to Logic/Cubase rather than Pro Tools, and it is a more than worthy substitute for those more expensive offerings.

Plug-Ins
Smart Electronix
http://www.smartelectronix.com/
A loose collective of developers dabbling in music software. Some great off-the-wall plugins and more trad stuff too. Including mda, Bram, DestroyFX and others...

Togu Audio Line (TAL)
http://kunz.corrupt.ch
Loads of wicked free plug-ins. Brilliant sound, I use these a lot.

Audio Damage
http://www.audiodamage.com/downloads/
Commercial company that also do some free downloads, a vintage Compressor, Pulse Modulator and Fuzzbox

Izotope Vinyl
http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/vinyl/
Great novelty plug-in, make your tune sound like it's on an old worn-out '78rpm disc :-)

Alphakanal Automat
http://blog.alphakanal.de/
The awesome (and free) Automat soft synth.

CamelAudio CamelCrusher
http://www.camelaudio.com/camelcrusher.php
Nice distortion/compression/filter combo available for free download.

Studio Toolz (http://www.studiotoolz.net) is an online resource for free Mac Audio software and is worth checking out.

If you want to try out a full operating system geared to audio, you could try Ubuntu Studio, a distribution of Ubuntu aimed at multimedia creation: http://ubuntustudio.org/. It includes Ardour, Audacity and other Open Source tools. I can't vouch for it, since I haven't tried it, but it seems like it's worth a look.

Happy downloading :-)
