Since 2001, Clark has sculpted sound into diverse forms. After
two decades of irradiated, ecstatic experiments in electronica,
techno, and rave on Warp Records, he still has a voracious
desire to challenge himself, embarking on colourful adventures
in ambient, classical scores, and cathartic lyrics for Deutsche
Grammophon and his own Throttle Records. From folk-driven
sound collage on Iradelphic, to using his vocals as yet another
elastic instrument in his repertoire on the Thom Yorke mentored
Sus Dog, to high octane dancefloor viscera on Steep Stims,
Clark continues to stamp a thumbprint onto every album, each
with a unique palette of it’s own
Harking back to the UK origins of his debut Clarence Park’s frost
encrusted vignettes, Steep Stims explores a duality between
hardcore and contemplative that has long underpinned Clark’s
work, evolving from the refreshingly singular songwriting of Sus
Dog and its kaleidoscopic live sets which unleashed, malleable
rave intensity. Whichever direction he leans in, Clark underlines
the physicality of his ever-changing sound.
