According to Ben Konen, "I decided to combine the electronic/pop music world with the world of Jazz. At Berklee, I found people that were thinking the same way I did. We started writing music with a groove people can dance to, lyrics people can sing to, and we put a high-level of improvisation on top of that. The live improvisation brings our performances to such a high energy level, no DJ can keep up with and gives Cluttered Clarity its unique sound in the pop world".
