If you don't know Claptone yet, then you are
not alone. Even though many people have heard
of him, no-one truly knows who or what he is.
The only certainty however, is the captivating
music he makes. It never fails to bind those
who hear it under his spell. And from then the
mysterious being becomes even more intriguing.
He has never openly courted people's attention
or even shown them his face   but what he
has done is offer up some of the most
compelling club sounds of recent years. They
have come in original and remix format, and
each and every time he serves up one of his
missives, people fall ever deeper in love.

Claptone's greatest spell yet is his
forthcoming full-length album. Charmer is
something inspired not by a current hit
formula or a token trend. Instead it is
informed by the eons of music that he has
soaked up during his travels, wandering
through the ages. It comes not as a quest for
fame, but as a way of expressing emotions, of
touching people on a deeper level. It aims to
evoke something in those people without
dictating what that should be. "Laughing can
be very close to crying," says Claptone.
"...and crying can be very close to laughing.
Songs can be melancholic and beautiful whilst
still making you smile."

Even more, Charmer is driven by an insatiable
musical desire; a passion that has compelled
him to collaborate with songwriters Jimi
Tenor, Peter, Bjorn and John, Nathan Nicholson
(The Boxer Rebellion) and Jay-Jay Johanson
amongst others. Together, their spirits add up
to a most full, absorbing and engaging album
that adds another layer of intrigue to the
Claptone story.

Of course, Charmer is still relevant in the
club too, because that is where Claptone's
spirit was first unlocked many moons ago. A
steady pulse of house underlies everything on
it, and so the album serves as living proof of
how music that makes you dance can also go
further, no matter how big the crowd or
wherever the setting is. This has always been
his aim, both when cooking up tracks but also
when conjuring up his Claptone Immortal live
shows at places like SW4, Melt festival, Ultra
Music Festival and many other key gatherings.
The results manage to captivate and confound,
to touch and amaze audiences in equal measure.
