Joe Claussell

Joe Claussell’s Raw Tones (Rekids REKIDS 183) is a masterclass in deep, spiritual house from one of New York’s most revered selectors. Across nine expansive cuts, Claussell blends organic percussion, hypnotic basslines and airy synths into grooves that feel both ceremonial and timeless. Recorded with warmth and intention, the double LP format lets every layer breathe, from the rolling drums of “Lock Down” to the meditative shimmer of “Air We Breathe.” It’s a rich, immersive listen that reaffirms Claussell’s role as a guardian of soulful rhythm.
