For Clo, music is in her blood and always has been. Her parents are both professional musicians and as a result she spent her childhood learning Violin, Piano, Clarinet and Saxophone.
This didn't stop her as a teenager however, from falling in love with the Trance and Happy Hardcore scenes.
This led to an eventual and fairly natural desire to explore the club scene and so in 1997 Clo took the plunge and experienced her first ever lust for DJ'ing whilst at one of the early Slinky sessions at Bournemouth's legendary Opera House venue. Little did she know that a decade on she would be playing there herself as a resident, this time under the banner of the massive South Coast brand Fusion.
Clo bought her first set of turntables in 1998, where she taught herself to mix Trance. In the early 2000’s she found herself in the harder styles of dance music, including Hard Trance, Hard House and Hardcore.
Clo performed under the name Clodhopper between 2004 and 2011 in the UK Hardcore scene, where she regularly performed for top brands such as Hardcore Heaven, Hardcore 'til I die, Raverbaby and Uproar, alongside many smaller brands across the UK and regular international bookings. Clodhopper held residencies for several events including the Core Addicts Nose & Lips brand, Hardcore Marrows, Digital Accleration and the almighty smash hit sell-out UK Hardcore event Fusion.
In the studio she worked closely with Raw Elements' DJ Sc@r for the Raw Elements label and has also worked with Hardcore legend DJ Ramos on his infamous RSR label on several tracks.
As a producer, Clodhopper was also signed to the Electrik Euphoria label owned and operated by MC Marley.
In 2012 Clo took a break from the Hardcore scene to focus on having a family. In the past few years Clo has spent much of her social time in Trance events across Europe, which has inspired Clo to start performing again... but this time under a new name and with a stronger passion for music.
Clo de Rae has been running a monthly podcast on Soundcloud for over year, which can be heard first on SafeHouse Radio. As well as this she has had guest mixes on Ultimate Dance Radio, Discover Trance and has more to be announced soon.
Clo has also played at Teddy Rocks festival, Teddy Raves and was due to play at Global Language and Teddy Rocks festival again this year, however both have been postponed due to the current situation.
