Amazing.
8 people, with 5 instruments, on 4 continents, speaking 3 languages, with one song. It's crazy how well put together the song is considering each person recorded their part in different parts of the world. It's like a jam session on iChat. Technology's helping connect people all over the globe, but i would love to also see them come together eventually and play it in one place.

Meet Soul Clap
Live at Pygmalion Club, Dublin by Soul Clap
Elyte and Cnyce's paths were crossed for all time when a Sun Ra light beam sent from Saturn collided with the P-Funk Mothership and sent them tumbling to earth. Now, Soul Clap time travels on a musical spaceship of dopeness... The early years. As children on earth, they were driven to understand the history of dance music and found their teacher in original boston disco DJ Caril Mitro who admitted them into the temple of Vinyl Connection (whose members included Dimitri From Paris and Frankie Knuckles plus many more). Caril taught Soul Clap that "house wears many hats" and instilled the sounds of New York, Chicago, Detroit and Philadelphia while fostering an addiction to digging that has become a worldwide quest to acquire the best vinyl and download every good song on the planetary-interweb. Soul Clap's training goes beyond history lessons to mastering all the elements of the DJ: knowledge, mixing, programming, performance and experience. They honed their knowledge, Elyte taught a college course about dance music and Cnyce worked for UK booking agency MN2S. In between. They locked themselves in a basement until their mixing was flawless and traveled the universe observing the most advanced programmers (Josh Wink, Carl Craig, Francois K). Then they went out into the world to perform at Ministry of Sound in London, Paradiso in Amsterdam, Avalon in Los Angeles, Rise in Boston, and in smaller places in New York, Baltimore, Washington DC, Miami, Dallas, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Chicago, Mars and Jupiter plus dancefloors in other galaxies that you haven't heard. 20 years of experience has prepared Soul Clap to free your mind, and your ass will follow. The future. By harnessing the past Soul Clap looks to the future, with forward thinking productions and remixes, creative DJ sets and some of Boston's best dance music evets. Soul Clap released their first 12" records on Airdrop Records, "The Giraffe", "die Ente" and "Puppy Crack" receiving remixes by Franco Cinelli, Tanner Ross and Mikael Stavostrand respectively. Each summer they organize Dancing On The Charles (one of Urb Magazine's six best outdoor parties in the US) and every Wednesday they host Midweek Techno (Boston's longest running techno night). They also broadcast live to planet earth on The Adventures of Soul Clap Podcast. With more material coming soon on Aux-Rec and Wolf + Lamb Music and with the return of the "Soul Clap Edits" on Wolf + Lamb Black - the boys aren't slowing down. |

Over
Over the past year and a half Drake has become a household name thanks to his affiliation with any big star out, whether it's Lil Wayne and Young money, Jay-Z, and even Lebron James. Plus having hit songs all over the radio doesn't hurt either. But whether you think he's the next big thing, or you think he's overrated and tired of hearing "Forever" all over the radio, everyone has a different opinion on him. I remember the first time i heard him on a mixtape i thought, "damn this dude has potential, but that's that dude from degrassi???" So when i saw that, "Over," which is the first single off his long await debut full length album, "Thank Me Later" had come out, i was excited to give it a listen. Unfortunately i was pretty disappointed, but i will admit the beat is pretty sick. Who knows though, the song has potential to grow on me. Give it a listen and have your own opinion.
