Crystal Clear

Crystal Clear is the drum & bass alias of Andy Haeffele.

Rising to prominence as part of DJ Hype's Playaz camp in the early noughties, Andy released a series of dance floor bangers and toured the globe DJing.

After his track 'Itzalot' feat. Stapleton gained mainstream success via Annie Mac on BBC Radio1, Andy spotted an opportunity for a rap vocal led dnb project. He followed this up with 'Levels' which soon became Mistajam's Jam Hot Record and spurned a Universal-signed pop/dnb project soon after.

That project eventually ran it's course and Andy felt the need to stretch his legs musically making cross-genre dance music, most recently producing cutting-edge techno for many of that scene's prominent labels under the Melody's Enemy moniker.

2022 saw Crystal Clear return to the dark side, with his first dnb release in a decade 'Divide & Conquer', released as part of 'Sofa King Sick IV' on the heavily respected Sofa Sound Bristol.

Crystal Clear returned to Sofa Sound in 2023 with the four track 'Full Circle EP'.
The EP features the track 'Puppet Man' alongside long-time friend and collaborator Codebreaker, a track instantly selected by Mary Anne Hobbs as her "Near Future" track on BBC 6Music.

The pair also crafted their “Sofa Sound Mixing Bowl” mix to accompany the EP, receiving critical acclaim from across the drum and bass scene.
