#clonerecords
The joy of playing a full acid set!! Super stoked about this fun collab with Paradiso Amsterdam on April 1st. A night dedicated to the Art of Acid!
I remember 1988, sitting in the bus to school listening to my first attempt to a mix tape on my yellow waterproof Sony walkman.
Two girls behind me talked about the strange music they heard coming out of my headphones (no volume limit back in the days 🔊;-) One girl tapped me on my shoulder and asked me what the strange music was? The other girl laughed at me and said “you are listening to bird music, I can hear all the strange birdsounds!” (I could hear her think “you wierdo”)😅 Obviously they never did hear about Armando, Phuture, A Guy Called Gerald, Bam Bam or Tyree Cooper!
I actually bought many of those records from I-f who started importing records from Chicago, and he will join us as Beverly Hills 808303 together with Alienata to share our love for the hypnotizing and alienating sounds from the 303! If you come early you can see Legowelt Music show his beautiful “ambient trip commander” animation movie!

Back with another edition from the Forcefield nights I’m doing with Afra
Small events in a intimate setting where we can play those records from the darker corners of our record collection! This one will be epic ✨
Check out Studio 508’s instagram page and dm studio 508, Afra or me for instructions!
One of those boring posts with no humans pictured but just labels with snippets of a new record 😅 I know the algorithm doesnt like them, but this is what we do… making records 🫡 .
This release is a highlight of my collaboration with Ryan James Ford who is on fire lately!! Out now in all good record stores… Ryan J Ford - ASMR Ep on Clone/Dub recordings. Check out your local dealer to see if its already delivered! Also coming out digitally and via your favorite online suppliers of course!
A little weekend video dump… and some thoughts I had while having fun on the ice after finishing my last gig of 2022 yesterday together with Afra!
That was some good old basement vibes… one of those gigs where I could play a couple of the tracks that I carry with me for the right moment… and when that works out its the best feeling and truly inspiring :-) One of the tracks was named “Feiern”, which translates as “Celebrate”. Something I will do in 2023… its the 31st anniversary of Clone Records!!
There will be a massive 31 track compilation album coming out and some beautiful releases are scheduled! This anniversary is probably a good moment to reflect on why we actually do what we do all those years. In 2004 we released a compilation album named “the Men you’ll never see”. In a way that was the ethics of techno and electro in the first decade of our label, the idea that the music does the talking and not the Popstar who was often merely a puppet of the major labels and MTV.
In the decade around 2000 major labels did feed the public with happy hardcore and big room trance music and the first superstar dj’s appeared. However Techno was a counterculture, and the majors and MTV couldnt get a proper grip on it!
In that same year some bloke named Marc Zuckerberg started a website named Facebook and there was the rise of Myspace. In 2005 youtube did start, in 2006 Twitter etc. Social media made the ethics of techno ridicule because all of a sudden almost everyone was visible.
And guess what happened… who took the role of the major labels and MTV?? Who sets the rules and have control on what we see and what we listen to in these days??
Techno hits are now being made on Tiktok…
I had lots of fun in that small smokey basement this weekend. This seems the right moment to quote Inner City’s Big Fun… :-)
“We don't really need a crowd to have a party
Just a funky beat, and you to get it started and oh
We'll dance the night away’
.
And yes
Saturdaynight - Amsterdam at Radioradio playing together b2b with my brother D.j. Maaco
Super stoked for this one! 🚀 🚀
Some fun footage from last weekend! Me and Afra closing the David Vunk stage at Smeerboel festival!
Catch me this coming Friday in Rotterdam, closing the night CULTUURPODIUM PERRON after MARCEL DETTMANN
A little summer break for me…. I’m off to Cornwall on a little pelgrimage to find the beaches shown on the cover of Aphex Twin’s Surfing On Sine Waves album! Always wanted to listen to Didgeridoo, Untitled and Quoth at the beaches where they have been played first before they got released and hopefully surf that same wave as on the cover!
Probably not going to be an easy job finding the spots… but at least it keeps me busy during my summer break! 🙂 🤙🏼
