He has collaborated with a number of indie bands and singer-songwriters.

Mixmag notes that Claptone's remix of Gregory Porter's Liquid Spirit from the eponymous album “has become a Beatport bestseller and one of the biggest tunes of the year” (2015).
According to the online jazz magazine The Jazz Line, the Claptone remix was in part responsible for the Porter's album success. The album achieved Gold status in the UK after the Claptone remix debuted on the Essential Mix of BBC Radio 1 and then topped the Beatport chart, prompting dance music lovers to seek out Porter's original recording.
Claptone usual attire includes a golden beaked mask and white gloves, so his identity remains a mystery. Little is known about Claptone’s background apart from the fact that the act is based in Berlin.
