Clyde can proudly say that he is the first to be awarded the Mantis Recordings Diploma in Jerky Beats and World Rocking. This means that you're getting only the best beats from a qualified, assured provider, taking the risk out of your music purchases.
"To not only be the first to be awarded this prestigious diploma, but to gain a distinction, passing with flying colours, will probably allow me to spend more time away from the day centre, rocking peoples worlds. I've always liked dogs and when Mantis allowed me to pay for my diploma with dogs, I jumped at the opportunity", commented Clyde.
"The course required a lot of preparation, but the Mantis boys really helped me through it all the way, by shouting at me when I got anything wrong and talking about me badly to others if I didn't 'get anything'. I nearly took my own life at one point because my self esteem was so shattered, but that's what this course is all about and I came out of it the other side with the tools I need to succeed".

"Clyde is a Derby original. In his teens he was in several local bands and it's noteworthy that as part of The Underdogs he supported UK chart toppers Dr & the Medics (The Underdogs were much better, even if Clyde's axe was feeding-back like a mutha fu**a). Clyde also played an integral role in the setting up of Mantis Recordings, and remixed Atjazz on the first ever release, Story. He made further musical ripples with his remix of Mikeal Fitzpatrick's ‘Wish' on Yellow Productions, and appeared on Mantis again, this time with a shadowy and anxious mix of Kimbu Kimra's ‘Raise the Dead'.
After spending years trying to convince Clyde to give the world more of his distinct style of music, Mantis finally persuaded him to write an album, by bribing him with food and breasts. The debut single 'Serve it Up' featured San Francisco-based rapper Capitol A whose flowing rhymes told a familiar tale of a night out at the club. It certainly struck a chord with many dancefloors, both musically and lyrically, spawning many tracks in a similar vein to hit the club soundsystems.
The debut Clyde album ‘Hyper Reality' is now at long last completed, Capitol A once more stepping to the mic on several tracks including the second single ‘Broken Slang'. Clyde himself has also flexed his own vocal stylings on the album. His voice may be familiar to those who've recently heard Brooks, as Clyde co-wrote and sung tracks on his second album, Red Tape. He is also writing and singing with Rhythm Plate and Atjazz for forthcoming releases.
CLYDE NEWS
Fill in the following form to stay up to date with Clyde and Mantis Recordings news!
CLYDE'S DJ SET
Book Clyde for a night to remember. Clyde's DJ set comprises of a ceramic bath with a full shower curtain being wheeled onto stage. Dramatic music climaxes with the curatin automatically opening to reveal Clyde in the full, steaming bath balancing two CDJ1000's either side of the plugs (a recurring theme) which Clyde controls with his webbed toes.
Of course Clyde accepts regular establishment DJ fees, but for a little more, a CD deck 'slips' off the plug, falling into the water causing Clyde to convulse in front of an often alreay empty club. However, this set is not for the lame-hearted, as often, a paramedic crew is required to haul his naked-but-for-a-shower-cap frame from the bath in order to administer a defibrilater following cardiac failure. You may be thinking a silent club will ensue following the inevitable power outage caused by a live CD player falling into water. Be assured, this is not the case. The screams and cries hailing from concerned loved ones and trained professionals commanding such an incident make for a very exciting crescendo to an evening*.
Book Clyde here!
*Clyde actually only plays records. Listen to mixes on right.
Previous Tips of the Day
"Never perch your black and white television on the corner of your bath, next to the taps, changing channels with your toe. Never. Really, try to avoid this one"
"Don't eat poison"
"Don't not breath for too long"
"Do breath often"
"When you do breath, make sure it is a 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen mix, with approximately 1% trace gasses, and not a knife"
"Try not to post requests on discussion boards to find somebody to eat and kill you, in that order. That way, you will probably avoid being killed and eaten"
*Note to self* Blah blah.....make up a load more lame/crap tips etc...
