Andy Clarke began experimenting with programming breaks as a teenager when he met Ant Miles at the studios where he was working. They began producing together in Ant's converted garage studio where Andy nurtured what was to become a sublime talent for chopping up and re-programming beats. Andy then decided to set up his own label in early 1992 with a budget of £1000. RAM - so named due to Andy's star sign, Aries - launched with his solo debut and now highly collectable 'Sour Mash EP'.

At the age of 15, together with Ant, Andy created magnum opus, 'Valley of the Shadows (31 Seconds)' under their Origin Unknown alias. Often referred to as the 'darkcore prototype', the track won Best Hardcore Tune at the 1993 Hardcore Dance Awards where Andy also collected the prize for Best Newcomer. By this time, his DJing career had begun to progress at a meteoric rate; he had a show on pirate station  Cyndicut FM, and secured slots at key raves including Imagination, Club Elevation, Dreamscape, Innovation and Telepathy, where he became a resident. By 1994 together with Ant, he assumed another alias, Desired State, delivering masterpieces like 'Beyond Bass' and 'Here And Now'. In the same year, he began to branch out with collaborations, connecting with DJ Randall to create dancefloor smash 'Sound Control'. Subsequent studio hook ups would involve Shimon and Moving Fusion.

Origin Unknown's 1997 album, 'Origin Unknown Presents...Speed Of Sound' won Best Dance Album at the Kiss FM Dance Awards and Best Album at the Hardcore Dance Awards, where Andy also collected the gong for Best Producer. The 1998 follow-up, 'Origin Unknown Presents...Sound In Motion', preceded the birth of RAM Trilogy; Andy C, Ant Miles and Shimon's studio hook up. The Ram Trilogy collaboration has since resulted in some of the biggest tracks in drum & bass history. These include 'No Reality', 'Screamer', and the monster anthem 'Titan'. Andy's finest moment as a producer came in 2002, when along with Shimon, he wrote a tune called 'Bodyrock'. This groundbreaking track not only tore up the formula for how drum & bass 'should' sound, but also made it in to the UK Top 40 on vinyl sales alone. With a CD single release it reached the dizzying heights of No. 28 in the charts, one of an extremely rare breed of drum & bass tracks to hit the Top 40 without a vocal.

At the Knowledge Awards in 1999, 2001 and 2003, Andy has taken the award for Best DJ. Andy also won the best D&B DJ award on Drum & Bass arena in 2001 & 2002 where in excess of 90,000 people voted, and again at Accelerated Culture's 'Peoples Choice Awards' in 2002 and 2004. Andy has made it in to the DJ Mag Top 100 DJ Poll every year since 2000, and since 2001 has maintained his position as the highest ranking D&B DJ in the poll. 'The Executioner' is without a shadow of a doubt the undisputed heavyweight champion of drum & bass DJs!
