Another cracker of a Jazz Show from Def Jim, who only had access to a single functional studio CD player but nonetheless delivers selections from new releases by Tomeka Reid Quartet, Fred Hersch, Wolfgang Muthspiel and Joe Morris/Elliott Sharp (among others) plus a classic Oregon track from 1974 by way of tribute to the late guitarist Ralph Towner plus another instalment in his ongoing exploration of the 1970s-90s work of Chico Freeman and a bunch of other plusses besides. Essential listening for Jazz Heads of every stripe.

With the inception of Hard ‘n Fast Joints in 2018, Clay Louis, alongside Leo CW formed the collective Eleventh Realm, focusing on bringing the heavier side of dance music to Tāmaki Makaurau. The pair went on to create Ultra Sound as their mainstay and most successful party series in Whammy Bar, transforming the space into an immersive dance experience through minimal lighting, industrial scrap-metal installations, and carefully selected line ups. Recently he has claimed a fortnightly Sunday show on Mouthfull radio ‘Terra Incognita’ which serves as an outlet for ambient, downtempo, and abstract finds more suited for at-home listening. At the club, Clay Louis’ sets are high energy, spanning a unique array of driving techno, trance, breaks, and experimental club that can be heard reflected in his own productions - With an existing cache of self released productions, his forthcoming material showcases a range of influences tied together with a deep understanding of rhythm. Clay Louis' most recent release, 'Visions Of A Friend', for Teethclippers' 'Don't Bite Your Tongue' compilation, is featured in his mix for Related Articles.
