Anthea Clarke is a UK DJ and producer associated with trip-hop, downtempo, lounge, chillout and acid jazz. In 1989 she is based around Strawberry Studios in Manchester, where she develops a style built from unusual funk rhythms and a wide range of earlier listening, including calypso and country.

Her debut album, Words and Beats, is a central release in her profile. It reflects the blend of influences that shapes her work and is presented as the point at which that mixture comes together in recorded form.

She is also associated with the label Brouqade.
