Biography
An incredible energy, spirit and passion behind the decks...

Clare Large is one of the UKs most hardworking, dedicated, exciting and versatile DJs. She was introduced to music aged 8 when she started playing the harp. She's taken it busking all around her home of Cornwall, provided entertainment at weddings, given lessons, recorded a session improvised for Opus 3, played in orchestras and still plays all sorts of gigs with it today.

Going to raves and clubs in the SW of England from about 94 onwards inspired her to start DJing and create her own style. She's played at all kinds of clubs, bars, radio shows, afterhours, free parties, festivals and unusual parties around the world, and lined up with the best in the business. She's played on and organised many extensive tours of America, Bulgaria, China, Canada, Mexico and India, and has also undertaken sponsored tours, day events and promotions in addition to her own nights and her residencies.

Clares open minded attitude embracing all styles of music make her incredibly versatile. She can play a huge variety of sets; from a 10+ hour chill out set, to peak time hard techno, she welcomes the variety and has the record collection to back it up! She's best known for relentless, slamming and quirky techno, and tech and deep house, and really loves eclectic broken beat and nu-jazz sets, and also downtempo, lounge and ambient/chill out.

Clare absolutely loves DJing and is passionate about music. She's setting up her own record label in the near future, featuring tracks of all genres in the deep tech vein; her own and from other exciting artists. She has a live PA nearly ready to go of original tracks and is collaborating with many people. She intends to use her musical background to innovate and challenge not just the sounds we hear but HOW we hear them. She's very involved in surround sound mixing and binaural possibilities.

Clare has a degree (BSc), an HND in Music Technology and Sound Engineering, and she engineers and produces every sort of music. Her diverse tastes make her adaptable, very open minded and extremely versatile. She is always smiling behind the decks! She is approachable, friendly, amiable and enthusiastic. If you book her, your crowds WILL WANT MORE!!!
