Steep Stims is out today!
Huge thanks to everyone who has supported my music over the years. The record is a return to something but also pushes forward, suggests a future. I feel like I couldn’t have made any other album but this one, I enjoyed the music on it alot alot but now it’s time to let go.
I guess it’s about obsession, a steep climb- The code of techno/rave music, all the producers, music I love but refracted through my particular take on things.

Relentless Opponent is out today. Delighted to finally be able to release *the* version of this tune. I’ve been playing it in live shows for about 5 years now, heheh. And it actually started in 2016 from an innocent lil’ synth pattern that caught my ears. I remember making it, the exact time of day, the weather, everything.
The Opponent Stims EP is now available to preorder on vinyl and digital via Bandcamp.
In less than a month I’ll be in the USA for the Steep Stims Tour.

Artist Spotlight: Clark
Clark has spent over two decades taking listeners on aural odysseys characterized by an unquenchable ambition to keep climbing. From his 2001 debut Clarence Park onwards, there has been no template. Each album offers something new and unexpected.
Born in St Albans, Clark taught himself piano, cello, and drums, spending hours practicing along to Can's Jaki Liebezeit by hitting cushions. That self-taught discipline has imbued his work with a relentless approach across nine studio albums for Warp, countless remixes, and film scores. Since 2017's Death Peak, he's expanded into soundtrack work for Deutsche Grammophon, composing scores for composing scores for Pablo Larraíns' 'Lisey’s Story’ and arthouse zombie flick ‘We Bury the Dead", alongside collaborations with experimental cellist Oliver Coates and dance scores for Sydney Dance Company.
His latest album Steep Stims (2025), released on his own Throttle Records, marks a return to dancefloor aesthetics. Crafted primarily on the Access Virus synthesizer, the album spans reverb-drenched trance arps, D&B workouts, and lush electronica, all shot through with 90s nostalgia. "It contains all my influences, the producers I love, blurred and refracted through my path," Clark says. His recent live set at Draaimolen Festival received wide praise. "I'd rather have an album with an arc, contrast, vivid colour and the occasional moment of total devastation, sadness, euphoria, the whole gamut."
Clark performs in San Francisco on Saturday, May 16th at Parameter 2026.
Weekend passes are available on RA through the link in our bio.
