Herrliches Geschlacker, das mit 34 Minuten leider viel zu schnell zum Ende kommt. Trotzdem geil, hör’ ich’s halt zwei-dreimal hintereinander.
CLARENS is French/Senegalese musician and producer Ousseynou Cissé. His typically synth-led, snare-studded productions are carried by his soft harmonies, resulting in sweet and soulful (self-labelled) future R&B. Having just dropped his latest feel-good single Pray, it’s clear that the new talent has been fully embraced by Partyfine, the label of French DJ Yuksek, who both released and produced the track. Deciding that it’s time for us all the reflect, CLARENS has put together an exclusive mix for i-D. Take a moment out and get nostalgic with this young one to watch, as he tells us that “each song in this mix reminds me of a specific time in my life. Everyone links people and places to music. Press play, lie on your bed and think about everything that is behind you.”
