“Birdsong,” the latest taste of Claptone’s forthcoming second album, Fantast, features vocals by the widely celebrated indie/electronic band, Zola Blood, the four-piece who in 2017 released their long-awaited debut album, ‘Infinite Games’, to significant acclaim. Sharing an ability to create emotive, textured songs, with ‘Birdsong’ both the band and Claptone have created a compelling piece of dancefloor-honed electronic pop.
Claptone is a unique proposition in modern music. Painted as a mythical character shrouded in mystery, Claptone has become one of the biggest names in electronic music whilst himself remaining in the shadows. He has however constantly sought to deepen his own distinctive world, creating a rich tapestry, which tells the Claptone story.

Having originated as a cathartic music outlet for Corky Gainsford (formerly of the Century Media signed outfit Otherwise), CODE RED RIOT are ready to take audiences by storm with their full-length debut,”Mask”, scheduled for release on June 29, 2018, via RED MUSIC / SONY.
Gainsford reveals, ““Living Low” was the first song I wrote specifically for Code Red Riot. The chorus became a proclamation, a mantra, and a war cry to bury my emotional pain of the past and embrace the struggle required to move forward and achieve my next goals in life. Ironically, it was also the song that captured the attention of Sony RED Music, and compelled them to sign the band.”
