Welcome to The Carpet, Clap! Clap! and Nick Leon

 

Clap! Clap! is longtime Jazz player Cristiano Crisci, also known in electronic circles as Digi G'Alessio. With cross genre accolades and support spanning the globe he is already established a one of Italy’s brightest talents. Clap! Clap!’s global rhythms owe as much debt to the Inuit tribes of Alaska as they do the Staccato footwork of Chicago and West African percussion. Cristiano’s music features traditional Italian folk rhythms and melodies mixed with a global harvest of found-sounds smashed through an electronic beat machine mindstate.

 

At 23 years old, South Florida electronic and hip hop producer Nick León is already a decade into his production career, having been given production software by his older brother at the age of 12. Highly focused on textural elements as well as deeply buried melodies & the sounds of everyday life, León’s signature brand of psychedelic production has set him apart from the pack and earned him positive reviews in The Fader & XLR8R among others, along with coveted spots on Miami’s III Points festival in 2015 & 2016.

With production credits for Denzel Curry, The Underachievers, Twelve'Len and a slew of other artists already under his belt, Nick released his full length debut Profecía on Low End Theory founder Daddy Kev’s Alpha Pup label in April 2016.
