Fairly new and highly explosive on the electronic music scene is San Francisco based music trio Beats Antique. Their sound offers a very unique blend of electronic and hip-hop beats infused with Middle Eastern ethnic melodies. Similar to Calle 13, the clarinet sound used by Beats Antique is very wild and unrefined, and capitalizes on its ethnic qualities. The group uses clarinet extensively on each of their albums, much to the same effect as in the example featured below. In fact, they have so many tracks prominently featuring the clarinet that it was extremely difficult for me to pick just one!
