Clark - Back in the studio - select shows for autumn
October 28, 2007
Taking his favorite elements of techno, electro, rave & jungle Chris adds his outstanding production knowhow and consistently delivers one of the most advanced fully live club sets on planet earth. Now with special Flat-E visuals and some HUGE tracks in the works, we’re looking at select slots / clubs for September onwards. Sam{at}littlebig.org.uk.
Friends of Clark and those who have seen his solo live show over the past few years will be excited to hear that Chris has (finally) agreed to release some of his vast archive of storming dancefloor techno tracks! TURNING DRAGON was release in Jan 08. This is Clark at his most ferocious and deadly, comprised of old, new and reworked material of the most brutal and uncompromising variety.
Also, make sure you check the Dirty Pixie 12 that came before TD in late 07 - its a club bender!

PRAISE FOR TURNING DRAGON ::
"Certainly his most immediate record... Turning Dragon at times craves the intricate detailing of Body Riddle but the sheer energy of the music largely compensates and contributes to make this Clark’s most entertaining release." 4.4/5 Milkfactory - Read Full Review
8/10 Drowned In Sound - REVIEW
"Chris Clark’s latest should come with a warning: ‘Do not adjust your stereo’... a messy, distorted energy flash that will have Justice cowering in their Paris bedsit."
Timeout, London
PRAISE FOR BODY RIDDLE
Pitchforkmedia.com: “Clark continues to mine his ominous perfectionism with increasingly spectacular ends. Finely hewn and paced, Body Riddle ebbs and flows, following an internal logic that's condensed, myriad, and unpredictable.”
Drowned in Sound 9/10: “Clark’s latest voyage to the centre of a place more amazing than your never-dared-dream fantasy, is a divine delight from start to finish.
Clash: “Get it now, play it loud”
