Debukas

Having been described by living legend DJ <a href="spotify:artist:01Hj5EQGynnrJncV7vhAyA" data-name="Bill Brewster">Bill Brewster</a> as a “one man synth orchestra”, and “the <a href="spotify:artist:0dRiUTGvNV17AMIULRYsvn" data-name="Mr. Fingers">Mr. Fingers</a> of the Highlands”, John Clark under his Debukas alias unashamedly wears his electronic dance music influences on his sleeve. His early years in music were spent as a member of several Glasgow based outfits, including punk disco trio <a href="spotify:artist:2CLWZP9ZwueC8Yx9ORbxlW" data-name="bis">bis</a> who signed with the <a href="spotify:artist:03r4iKL2g2442PT9n2UKsx" data-name="Beastie Boys">Beastie Boys</a> record label Grand Royal in the United States, and electro duo <a href="spotify:artist:1mqM88ySyvOnQM1r03hDJl" data-name="Dirty Hospital">Dirty Hospital</a>. As Debukas, his 2013 LP, I Am Machinery, and preceding EPs met with critical acclaim, with his following releases on the 2Sox and Church labels also meeting with much dancefloor approval.

Late 2020 saw a new long awaited release in the form of Left At The Lights, a return to the more leftfield vocal-led, odd-but-familiar he is renowned for.
