• The Revenge - RA Podcast 166 •

Scottish disco deviant Graeme Clark takes over this week's RA podcast.



If you've been keeping your ear to the ground for hot new house and disco records over the last couple of years, then you'll probably find that the work of Graeme Clark has been somewhat inescapable. His edits of Stevie Wonder, Unfinished Business and Hot Chocolate for celebrated edits imprint Jiscomusic made sure that The Revenge had pride of place in many a disco DJ's crate, and he's managed to back it up with recent original productions and remixes, both solo and alongside collaborators such as Craig Smith. The dubby deep house of "The Soul Part II" has been tearing up dancefloors internationally for the last few months, but Clark certainly isn't new to the production game.

After fiddling around with a couple of his father's drum machines and a sampler during the '90s, Clark found that he needed an outlet to release his creations, and hence started the Five20East label with brothers Scott and Ross Langley. Be it electro-house, UK garage, or just plain ol' house music, Five20East has featured it all, and Clark's production remit is just as diverse. Having recently reprised his studio partnership with Sub Club legend DJ Harri, the duo proceeded to put out a trippily jacking tech-houser in the form of "Space Doubt"-a world away from Clark's funky disco material. It's the latter sound that he's focused on for this week's RA podcast, however, mixing up exclusive new material with tracks from Mark E, Charles Earland and Nitro Deluxe. We caught up with Graeme to ask him about the mix, his productions, and his headlining performance at this month's Shoplifter party in London.
