A Swiss knife at the source of countless future-proof grooves, Chlär returns to the Viaduct for XRDS26 on Friday, August 14. Founder of Primal Instinct Records alongside Alarico, and one-half of the Funk Assault duo, his work sits firmly in high-energy hardgroove. Shaped by his background as a mastering engineer, his production approach focuses on sound system-oriented sound design.
