ABOUT MARK DE CLIVE-LOWE

“A devastating live performer, the MdCL experience is marked by impromptu studio production created on stage from scratch, using drum machines, keyboards and effects. The end result: live remixes birthed on stage for each and every gig. With bold chops like this, to call him “prolific” is an understatement, having contributed to over 250 releases and being a first-call collaborator for a wide range of artists, including Jill Scott, Jody Watley, Leon Ware (Marvin Gaye/Michael Jackson/Maxwell), Dame Shirley Bassey, Sandra St. Victor (The Family Stand/Chaka Khan), amongst a slew of others.

Currently based in LA after a decade entrenched in London, MdCL has cemented his reputation as the go-to man for anyone wanting his unique take on club music, progressive soul and urban alternative: creating club classics flavored from soul and funk, to tech-Afrobeat and Latin twists, all orchestrated by MdCL: a revolutionary Quincy Jones for a new generation, armed with the ability to meld the science of beat-making with the fluidity of composed music.”

There’s a little Stevie in this song AND a little shadow of broken beat, which we can definitely appreciate. It’s also simultaneously open and sparse, 1970s meets 2020s, experimental and freeing at once.
