Marco Bernardi is back on Clone Royal Oak with a beautiful three track ep! Tracks that are a nice blend of his roots in Glasgow and Detroit techno stirred into a nice personal outing that show his talents. The Ep features slowly building tracks that keep the tension high with Bernardi’s trademark melodies layered over basic house rhythms with a raw edge.

Arttu aka Lump would be jamming in his Lisbon studio with Detroit’s Jerry the Cat! These tracks are the perfect first collaboration between Arttu, Jerry the Cat and Clone records!! Playful and funky old schoolish house tracks with the joyfull vocals of Mr Cat all recorded during some live sessions in Lisbon where they both reside. Arttu went back to some intuitive drum programming for these live sessions and made simple funky drum machine patterns around nice hypnotic basslines. Vocals and additional percussion still have some of that live feel after the tracks have been arranged and mixed.

Two producers on duty for Gerd’s Palm Leaves remixes. Sometimes an amazing track like Palm Leaves just screams for a rework by someone who really could do something nice with it. And this seems to be the perfect remix duo… Larry Heard aka Mr Fingers and Deetron. One for the body and one for the soul!

Clone Royal Oak continues its adventures in house music with Gerd. This is a rework of a track he did two year ago and somehow never finnished until now! Vocals are by Dr. Orion (aka OlivierDaysoul). On the flipside there is a stripped dub mix done by Serge & Tyrell

Debut release on Clone Royal Oak by Morning Factory. Two tracks that go somewhere between the old and the new school with phat bass lines, filtered stabs, blissful keys and joyful piano and a cheeky vocal on the b-side cut. All that combined with slightly slower pace, powerful production.

Reggie Dokes returns on Clone Royal Oak, with 2 amazing tracks. Emotional and passionated house tracks, raw, unpolished music. Title track “Once Again” has received a remix treatment by two young dutch producers called Morning Factory. These guys show the same passion for their productions as Reggie, and they delivered a great edit version that added some extra energy to the original mix.

Clone Royal Oak series is coming with another young talent, Genius Of Time from Sweden.Three takes on classic house music done by young producers in their unique almost serene style that reveal their Nordic roots.

Marco Bernardi has a new 12″ soon to be release on Clone Royal Oak. The EP includes two deep melodic house tracks with rootz in detroit house. The track from the flip side is a collaboration with Keith Tucker from Aux 88.

Blake Baxter and Orlando Voorn also known as the Ghetto Brothers. Here the more or less forgotten collaboration they did once, remastered and available again! Listening to this record you know these guys were light years ahead and not many modern releases can keep up with the level of funk and energy of the Ghetto Brothers.

After his big release on the Clone Loft Supreme Series, and great tracks on Prime Numbers and Philpot Mr Dokes is back in the spot lights. Here another intense three track ep with tracks that ll give you goose bumps all over. With his special way of programming, his dramatic strings and light piano play and shuffling house beats this is one of those artists with a special musical finger print that one recognizes out of thousands. A rare talent which puts more value on playing with his moods and emotions instead of aiming in straight dancefloor power. This 12 is building on what he started with the Chicago Pimp release… Pure house tracks with a deep irresistible drive combined with joyful keys and seductive strings. Some magic tracks from Mr Dokes!
