The electronic music wizard Claptone, who fills the silence of the night with his energy that calls to dance, will meet his audience on the Klein Phönix stage on Saturday, May 10th.Known for keeping his mystery intact with his golden mask and white gloves, Claptone began gaining international recognition with his track "No Eyes," created with JAW. His success was further solidified with albums like "Charmer," "Fantast," and "Closer." Claptone also achieved another hit with his remix of Gregory Porter's "Liquid Spirit," which topped the Beatport charts. While maintaining the mystery behind his mask and his identity, which has turned into a global phenomenon, Claptone continues to captivate his listeners.
In a now long forgotten world, many generations ago, a bird like shape emerged from wooded darkness, floating and fluttering, drifting and dreaming. Backlit by a bright glow of iridescent light, the undecipherable form wore a dazzling golden mask. Its long beak swooped down like an inverted horn and since then, people have referred to the mythical being simply as Claptone. Years spending wandering medieval landscapes have informed Claptone’s view of the world, experiencing both magical mystery and muted melancholy he enchanted onlookers with occult instruments and beguiling sounds. Forever surrounded by a sense of intrigue, the world soon cottoned on to the elusive yet enchanting musical powers of this otherworldly beast. The results are that today his shamanistic sonic powers take him all around the world.
