Waa!!! presents Claptone

Friday, June 19, 2026, Opium Barcelona hosts Claptone, the Berlin-born figure behind the golden mask and a key voice in melodic deep house. Revealed through early releases on Exploited and the breakout track Cream in 2012, he has shaped a sound of warm basslines, crisp house grooves and melancholic hooks, often led by soulful vocals. His albums Charmer (2015), Fantast (2018) and Closer (2021) pushed that song-centered approach further, with collaborations from Gregory Porter to JAW, Nathan Nicholson and Seal.

On stage, Claptone lets the set do the talking: classic house references, modern textures and pop-tinged melodies woven into long, hypnotic progressions. Expect a fluid narrative rather than fireworks, a tight focus on groove and voice, and the Masquerade atmosphere he’s turned into a signature. In Barcelona, he brings a club-ready selection tuned for late-night motion, balancing tension and release with detail and precision to keep the floor moving from start to finish.
