Clare Large is one of the UKs most hardworking, dedicated and exciting 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 today.
Going to raves many years ago inspired her to start DJing and put records together her way. In an age of constant technological developments, she merely offers a guarantee: to play quality, solid, great music.
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 extensive tours of America, Bulgaria, Canada, Mexico, China and India, and has also undertaken sponsored tours, day events and promotions in addition to occasional own nights and residencies.
Clare’s 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 playing all kinds of techno and deep tech house, and really loves eclectic broken beat and nu-jazz sets, with downtempo, lounge and ambient/chill out. She also plays breaks, and occasional drum and bass sets are not out of the question either!
Clare absolutely loves DJing and is passionate about music. She writes her own material and 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. Details of this are in the audio section, and she is developing a 5.1 live show.
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’s always smiling behind the decks! She’s approachable, friendly, amiable and enthusiastic. If you book her, your crowds WILL WANT MORE!!
