His trademark analogue jerk-beat first pricked up ears over a decade ago via remixes for labels Mantis Recordings and Bob Sinclars Yellow Productions. Clyde now finally drops his debut album Hyper Reality. You may have already heard previous singles Serve It Up! and Broken Slang; both featured San Francisco based Capitol A and are still destroying dancefloors. With this sampler of the forthcoming album youll get a taste of what else Clyde is capable of. Roll Of The Beast has been creating a buzz for some time from its plays in the hands of the few DJs with a copy, plus airings on various tastemaker radio shows including those of Benji B and Michael Rütten. Nebraska is probably never going to be a state at the forefront of hip-hop culture, but its keyed a scratch on the door of the Escalade with Clydes discovery of Omahas Juse, in whom hes found a suitably cynical cohort. Million Souls Sold gives a clue in the title to its content. Also look out for their incredibly odd Lady Cadava on the album. MOBO winning emcee Phoebe One speaks up for London, delivering one of her finest ever tracks with the rugged Neva That. For this digital release, Clyde steps up with an exclusive remix of the track. Its not all rhyming and reasoning though. Jane Hamilton (Magic Number, Slope) delivers some sweet boogie soul with her vocals on Read My Mind, again only on the digital sampler. Clyde himself doesnt shy away from vocal duties on the album, if you hadnt realised with all these guest vocalists, its his own dulcet tones on Roll Of The Beast. Hyper Reality is released soon, so get on these tracks now.
