Biography:
The Frankfurt/Germany DJ Clay-369, who put his name on the map creating exquisite mixtapes as a part of the Beatz Entertain.men-crew, knows how to mix catchy HipHip-beats combined with R’n’B and Dancehall, spiced up with a pinch of (Neo-)Soul and Funk without loosing focus on his own musical roots and avoiding drifting off into the mediocre mainstream portrayed by many of his craft-colleagues.
While he keeps the crowd dancing on the floor, he is addicted to raw HipHop in his studio, no matter what origin. In chilled out bars he gives free reint to his passion for Neo Soul, Soul classics and Rare Grooves
During his active career of more than 10 years as being a DJ he has played in numerous clubs in his local Rhein-Main area, where he also had a couple of redidencies in such legendary clubs like Sam Lord, Club 190East, as well as the PLAY!-Party-series.
His versatility as a DJ is not only impressively emphasized by his wide range of covered music, but also by the fact that he has had many radio shows, as well as doing successful promotion and demonstration shows for companies such as Wolford (clothing), Motorola (Phones), Vestax (DJ equipment), Serato (DJ software manufacturer) and Rane (audio equipment) across the globe in different countries and locations.
A few years ago he has teamed up with his DJ colleage C.A.L.I.P.H.. Since then both have been successfully rocking their gigs as a team whenever possible.
Biografie:
Der Frankfurter DJ Clay-369, der sich schon als Teil der Beatz Entertain.men-Crew mit exquisiten Mixtapes einen Namen im Underground geschaffen hat, versteht es auf gekonnte Weise mellow tanzbare HipHop-Beats mit R'N'B und Dancehall zu vermischen, gewürzt mit einer Prise (Neo-)Soul, ohne dabei seinen eigenen Stil und seine musikalischen Wurzeln aus den Augen zu verlieren und damit in den 08/15 Mainstream-Brei anderer Zunftskollegen abzudriften.
Während er im Club das Publikum mit seiner Mischung zum Tanzen bringt, schlägt im Studio sein Herz für den rohen Hip Hop, ganz egal in welcher Sprache. In chilligen Bars läßt er seine Zuneigung für Neo-Soul und Soul-Classics und Rare Grooves seinen freien Lauf.
Während seiner mittlerweile 10-jährigen DJ Karriere hat er in den unterschiedlichsten Clubs im Rhein Main Gebiet gespielt und war u.a. auch Resident DJ im legendären Sam Lord, im 190East und auch der PLAY!-Party Reihe. Seine Vielseitigkeit beweist er nicht nur durch die Breite seiner Musikstile, sondern werden auch durch diverse Radio Auftritte attestiert. Seit mehreren Jahren legt er zusammen mit DJ C.A.L.I.P.H im Team auf.
