Dave Clarke
received his nick name «the baron of techno» by no other than John Peel. Maybe because his idiosyncratic productions — check his debut «Archive One» from 1994 — were mind challenging for the then still juvenile genre. Not forgetting his extraordinaire remixes for acts like Depeche Mode, Moby, Underworld and DJ Rush. Clarke is touring and DJing the biggest and most important clubs around the world – from Manchester via Miami to Ibiza.
Tinnitus at 1khz.
BBC Radio 4 or the World Service. Music in a bubble bath is so girly, so Kenny G.
Some cool roots reggae.
Nothing, just silence.
Theme to the next «West Wing» episode on the DVD player.
I never go fishing. If I did it would be in Bermuda listening to Dr Alimantado.
The Psychedelic Furs
Anything Gothic, or just silence from all music.
Although at terminal velocity it might be tricky to pick up the beginning.
I never have.
When I get to Schipol Train Station heading To Amsterdam Centraal, I listen to «India». It starts off quiet and instrospective and the moment you clear the tunnel and hit daylight the drums kick in, great timing and totally appropriate.
I hummed it non stop for days... I had to get it, fantastic bassline.
In Zaandaam.
Any trance, it is that easy to piss me off.
Music is such a big part of my life that it is so difficult to fall in love to one piece of music in the background when your head is in a spin.
That was the first seven inch single that I bought.
That is a secret. You’ll have to be there to find out.
Never have a song as ring tone, wrong generation.
Always dead to the world and hopefully sleeping somewhere, in bed or a plane.
