Description:
Opening with the spirit of Satie in brief introductory fashion, Chris Clark states his tonal intentions for new home Warp, by debuting a showcase of electronica with attitude and purpose on Clarence Park.

Opening with the spirit of Satie in brief introductory fashion, Chris Clark states his tonal intentions for new home Warp, by debuting a showcase of electronica with attitude and purpose on Clarence Park.
