We are thrilled to have the talented Clem Leek join the Fluid Radio mix schedule this month. The young artist has put together a delightful selection of sonic structures for your listening pleasure…

When asked to do this Fluid Mix I didn’t realise how emotional the process was. It maybe a small task but picking and choosing music that means so much to you is a hard thing to do, as I have found out. This mix is a selection of tracks that have truly inspired me, a mix of artists that have helped me understand myself, not just in a musical sense, but somehow I feel they have come to be part of who I am and ­for want of a better phrase, a soundtrack to my life.

I have included extract’s from Steve Reich’s ‘Music For 18 Musicians’ and Gavin Bryar’s ‘Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet’. If you are unfamiliar with these pieces I urge you to listen to them in their full glory, they are truly great seminal works. Artists such as Max Richter, Philip Glass, Keith Kennif, Matt Hales, Arve Henriksen and obviously Bran Eno have had an influence on me that I can’t even begin to explain and their work has pushed me to be a better musician and to strive for beauty within my work.

I would like to dedicate this mix to everyone whose been so supportive over the last few months friends, family and everyone I have met recently and I hope that you enjoy listening, as this little hour mix holds so much importance to me and I hope you have a great and prosperous year.

Thank you for listening – Clem
