Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to "CLAPTONE in the Circus”, an exclusive video series - broadcasted live every Wednesday!

Welcome to CLAPTONE in The Circus, a series of DJ sets, live and direct from a small circus in need of support during these challenging times - Claptone's latest residency, so to speak. Twelve weeks in a row, we will dance together, to specially themed mixes, and at the same time support a kind circus family and their happy, loving animals. During this new Claptone venture we’ll be introduced to more than 40 exclusive and unreleased Claptone originals, remixes and edits. 

To make it even more spellbinding, in each episode, CLAPTONE’s DJ Set will be accompanied by the dazzling performance artists that inhabit the grounds of the circus. They will, at safe distances of course, enact the most thrilling of performances, to compliment the dreamy melodies and funky rhythms. Exciting jugglers, daring knife-throwers, a regal pony show and much more, await you every Wednesday, starting on April 22nd. 

"In these trying times, I’ve often found myself going on long, isolated walks to appreciate the beauty of nature. It was on one of these scenic, afternoon journeys that I first stumbled upon a tiny family-run circus. The circus director told me about their struggle to pay the rent and buy food for the animals since the pandemic hit, as they couldn’t put on public shows. 

The following day, I returned, this time, with fresh carrots in hand, hoping to be able to meet and feed the animals. It was then and there that I decided not simply to donate food and money, but to play specially themed and carefully selected sets at this little circus, involving parts of their show, to bring joy to my friends and fans in sound and vision." says CLAPTONE.

Come and share in the beauty of this tucked-away treasure. Tune in live via CLAPTONE’s YouTube or Facebook page every Wednesday at 9PM CET, starting on April 22nd, 2020.

Every Sunday at 9 PM CET, Claptone shares his favourite recipes with you via his social media channels - welcome to 'Claptone's Quarantine Canteen! Having carefully compiled a selection of recipes bursting with flavour, Claptone draws from his countless trips around the globe, presenting you with finger-licking-good vegetarian and pescatarian dishes.

Claptone has linked up with ​Mylo to ​‘Drop The Pressure’​ - setting the tone for a long hot 2020 summer. ​‘Drop The Pressure' follows ​Claptone​’s hit remix of Michael Kiwanuka​’s ​‘You Ain’t The Problem’ ​in November and his remix of ​Mark Ronson’s ‘Don’t Leave Me Lonely’ ​the month before.

“I’ve always had a weak spot for music that has a real physical impact - when you put it on, it urges you to move,” C​LAPTONE explains. “Dare I say that ‚Drop The Pressure’ is a perfect example of a house track that you simply can’t resist: too funky not to trigger a physical reaction.”

He continues: ​“I’m not only talking about the obvious workout or gym motivator - no, ‘Drop The Pressure’ is far more powerful than that. While in the library or at a funeral, I felt my blood swirling and my spine tingling - I must dance to this! The uncontrollable sensation! I know you know that feeling too.”

The release of ‘Drop The Pressure’ follows the announcement of Claptone’s return to Pacha Ibiza this summer with his ‘The Masquerade’ residency on the coveted Saturday night slot.

CLAPTONE PRESENTS: ‘THE MASQUERADE’
AT PACHA IBIZA
THE MAJESTIC WEEKLY PARTY MOVES TO SATURDAYS FOR ITS 2ND WHITE ISLE SEASON

Claptone is bringing The Masquerade, his spellbinding event concept, back to Pacha Ibiza for a second season this summer commencing on May 23rd, with the weekly run of parties switching to Saturday for 2020.

‘The Masquerade’ has quickly become a highlight on the Ibizan calendar, promising magic, mystery and intrigue, within a supercharged environment of wonder. It's a place where one can live out their deepest desires, an extraordinary atmosphere, full of masked faces, complemented by some of Pacha’s world famous and beautiful costumed dancers, held every Saturday throughout the summer.

It follows on from a massively well-received first season, which welcomed MK, Diplo, Purple Disco Machine, Duke Dumont, Kerri Chandler, Basement Jaxx and many more to the idyllic shores of the White Isle for a string of majestic parties.

Claptone enthuses: "It’s crazy to think last summer was just the beginning, it already felt that perfect to me. To be honest, I can’t fully fathom that after that epic 2019 season, I'll be back at Pacha for 2020, to present an even bigger, better and longer season of The Masquerade - on the weekend. He adds: “There will be exciting guests, propulsive house music and all these great performers that your heart desires! in our sanctuary, each Saturday for 21 weeks. This is only the beginning.”

Originating in 2016, Claptone took his unique ‘The Masquerade’ show to select cities and venues around the globe, from The Brooklyn Mirage in New York to Electric Brixton in London, from Estadio Geba in Buenos Aires to Burnley Park in Melbourne, from Club Space in Miami to his own arena at Belgium’s iconic Tomorrowland.

A unique figure in modern music, Claptone is like no other. Playing over 260 shows around the world each year, his idiosyncratic, spellbinding very own house sound has caught the attention of many. The second iteration of his Ibiza residency is certain to harbour many more.

The Remix follows on from last month’s re-imagining of Mark Ronson’s ‘Don’t Leave Me Lonely’

Michael Kiwanuka and Claptone are very pleased to share a new remix of Michael’s ‘You Ain’t The Problem’. Claptone has taken the track and reconfigured, reimagined, and reanimated Michael’s version into something very much of his own inimitable design.
