Antoine Clamaran 'Afrodisiac' on Tumbata Records

Antoine Clamaran's 'Afrodisiac' has arrived on Tumbata Records in an Extended Mix, a big room Afro house record with the drums up front. Everything about the percussion feels deliberate, held at a weight that neither crowds the spectrum nor thins out the floor's momentum. The mix peaks loud, the top end stays restrained, and the track's body is centred in the kick and the percs. The vocal is the other central element, a simple hook that carries the energy without overstaying its phrase.

At 125 BPM and in E major, it slots into high season sets at the clubs of Ibiza and Mykonos with a clear function: to keep the room moving without asking for too much thinking. The release has already been picked up by the man himself, who placed the track at number four in his 'Antoine Clamaran's Turn It Up Beatport Chart' on 16 July.

It has been a long run for Clamaran. With releases dating back to 2003, he has remained a fixture across labels like InStereo Recordings, Black Hole Recordings and Enormous Tunes, and 'Afrodisiac' shows he is still as locked into the dancefloor as ever.
