Clyde Rouge

With a name inspired by Clint Eastwood’s Orangutan sidekick and a penchant for using photographs of derelict buildings to inspire his productions; Scotland’s Clyde Rouge is certainly not one to simply conform. After ten years of experience behind the decks, Rouge overcame his self-confessed technophobia to launch himself into production. Reared on a heady mix of 90’s hip hop, house and breakbeat, his influences were fed through the Rouge mangle and spat back out into his sonically enticing breed of bass heavy, hip-shaking house. In a scene dominated by oppressive industrial techno and overly serious posturing; this is music to make you smile. A rebellion against a world of plastic plug ins and over produced dance floor fodder, instead he serves up slices of grin inducing grit and raw energy. Tracks influenced more by the rough around the edges grooves of records made twenty years ago, than by the snap chat culture and Instagram influencers of today. This is music to make you move.
