The Adventures of Soul Clap Podcast

Episode 99: Jeremy From The Pickle

http://soulclap.us — Fri, 04 May 2012 07:00:07 PDT

If you’ve been to the Electric Pickle in Miami then you’ve probably seen a smiling dude with a massive afro, running around making sure everything is running smoothly. That dude is Jeremy, one of the coolest, most positive people we’ve met in the Miami scene during our 2+ years there. If you’re not from Miami, [...]

Episode 98: Happy Birthday DJ Holdup!

http://soulclap.us — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 23:31:36 PDT

For the last 3 years my friend Fonze from New York has been asking me to play his birthday party, but unfortunately I’m just never in New York March 16th. So after the great experience we had letting someone else choose the songs for our Louche podcast I figured I could make it up to [...]

Episode 97: Garry Todd Is Proper Badboy

http://soulclap.us — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 16:37:28 PDT

This week’s adventure begins about a year ago when someone handed us a copy of the first 12″ on Illusion Recordings and hidden on the B2 was a surprisingly original 90′s influenced slow house jam by the one and only Garry Todd. Now we get cool tracks from new producers all the time, but this [...]

Episode 96: Chris Carrier’s Late 80′s Hip-Hop Mix

http://soulclap.us — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 06:44:00 PST

It’s not often we post podcasts from DJs that we’ve never met before. Then again it’s not often that we get sent amazing old school hip-hop mixes. Once you factor in that it was our favorite Frenchy, Leo Le Loup who did the sending, you can understand why we’d make an exception for this exceptional [...]

Bonus Episode: 2011 Bird-Dog Tour Jamz

http://soulclap.us — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 08:29:54 PST

Since it’s best of 2011 time, we figured it would be a great time to say thank you to all you loyal clappers for making it our best year yet. We’re consistently blown away by all the amazing support and love you guys bring into our lives and to show our appreciation here’s a mix [...]

Episode 95: somethinksounds presents: Hang the DJ

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 08:40:38 PST

Sometimes we get lazy. I know, hard to believe, but while we may spend most of our time in outerspace, we are human after all. That’s why we haven’t posted a podcast in over a month even though we’ve have this amazing episode ready since late August. Maybe in this case though, it’s a blessing. [...]

Episode 94: 39 Minutes of Funk with MAM

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 09:02:06 PDT

As we’ve said before, one of the best perks of DJ around the world is meeting other amazing DJs and producers. This is really what The Adventures of Soul Clap Podcast is all about and this episode is definitely one of the crowning achievements of our mission. MAM (Matt Hughes & Miguel Campbell) are a duo based [...]

Episode 93: Lovins and Dry Rubbins by Sappho & The Perfect Cyn

http://soulclap.us — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 15:14:37 PDT

It is always such a pleasure when we get to shine our intergalactic spotlight on those hard working DJs who make our beloved scene happen. This latest installation comes from way out west in Portland, Oregon where a couple of lady DJs from the Alga-Rhythms crew, Sappho & The Perfect Cyn, have been keeping the [...]

Episode 92: Davide From Sedma’s Mixtape For Heartbreak

http://soulclap.us — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 10:54:05 PDT

So way back in April right after our DJ Kicks compilation was released and we were promoting our Lonely C single, !K7 and Bearport got together and asked us to curate a Mixcloud competition. Because Lonely C is all about loneliness (duh) and looking for love we decided that the comp should be a “mixtape [...]

Episode 91: Shopping With soho808

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 06:23:48 PDT

While I could write my own essay on the subject, the first sentence of their bio captures our love for soho808. “One of the best parts about raging at an after-hours is the people you meet.” I first met Nathaniel Jay, one half of this dynamic NYC based disco duo around 3 years ago at [...]

Episode 90: Tanner Ross In The Shady Shores

http://soulclap.us — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 08:59:55 PDT

Tanner Ross, Tanner Black, T-Rex, the list goes on and on, but nicknames only begin to describe our love affair with our favorite person to ever be born in New Jersey. So it’s hard to believe that the last time Mr. Ross graced the Adventures of Soul Clap was all the way back in December 2007, [...]

Episode 89: Back 2 Simon Baker’s Wigwam

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 03:18:49 PDT

Flashback Winter Music Conference 2008. In our hands, 100 copies of the first Soul Clap record a cute yellow 10″ called The Giraffe released on Airdrop. Now picture a backyard bbq at a bar formerly known as PS14 and a bunch of the world’s best DJs and America’s dance music industry wearing cheap sunglasses and [...]

Episode 88: DJ Kon, Boston Disco Don

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 10:15:06 PDT

This podcast sure has been a long time coming. Chances are if you’ve read our interviews you’ve seen us mention one of our greatest Boston mentors, DJ Kon. This is the guy who discovered us during our Next Generation Productions years when we, along with our old business partner Sammy Sokol used promote hip-hop and [...]

Episode 87: Wolf+Lamb vs Soul Clap Live @ Modern Love Affair Pt 2

http://soulclap.us — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 13:36:32 PDT

So if you haven’t noticed, we just finished up a massive tour in support of the DJ Kicks mix we put out with Wolf+Lamb on !K7 at the end of March. After an amazing April spent criss-crossing Europe, we took the show back home to North America in May, ending with the Grand Finagle during [...]

Episode 86: Summer Power Booster

http://soulclap.us — Fri, 20 May 2011 11:13:14 PDT

Hard to believe that we last caught up with Bobby “Booster” over two and a half years ago for Episode 38. A member of our Boston inner circle and former host of the best loft parties the city has seen since the 90′s, our man has stayed busy honing his craft in our home town. [...]

Episode 85: CCC

http://soulclap.us — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 07:45:15 PDT

For our latest episode we turn once again to NYC natives William Rauscher and Harry Bennet. Last time they were featured on Adventures Of Soul Clap they gave us the outstanding Night Plane podcast and this time they’re back in full effect with their latest project CCC. For those that don’t know, the CCC edit [...]

Episode 84: E-Heavy’s Tribute To Nate Dogg

http://soulclap.us — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 08:51:09 PDT

Is it cuz you like his gangsta walk? Is it cuz you like his gangsta talk? Whatever it be, the king of G-Funk has passed and we’ve lost one of hip-hop’s greatest voices. Known for his iconic, smoothed out gangsta hooks, Nate Dogg had an uncanny knack for making lyrics about ho’s, bitches, pimps, gangstaz, [...]

Episode 83: Craig Torrance In The Underworld

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 15:58:34 PST

Lets just stop for a moment to marvel at the ginger-haired wonder that is Mr. Craig Torrance. A London based DJ and producer, not only is he just an all around sweet guy but he is one of our favorite Glaswegians. We’ve been meaning to podcast his mix for a while now, but it got [...]

Episode 82: Valentines Day With Slow Hands

http://soulclap.us — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 08:26:13 PST

As you already know, here on the mothership we’re pretty big fans of themed mixes and even bigger fans of holiday themed mixes. So when Wolf + Lambs resident slowmo disco connoisseur Slow Hands said “I’ve been kinda tossing the idea of doing a mixtape (maybe actually trying to record popping and flipping the tape [...]

Episode 81: 7L Steps Into The AM

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 02:00:02 PST

If you’ve ever been to a good party in Boston our man 7L needs no introduction. if you’ve ever been into underground hip-hop you already know him as one half of 7L & Esoteric. If you’ve ever been lucky enough to get your hands one of the amazing Bladerunners mixes, than you also know who [...]

Episode 80: S.A.S Ice Cold Mix

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 03:00:16 PST

You’ve probably all realized by now that we really love edits. Unfortunately, with the trend getting so popular, our ears have been bombarded with some pretty terrible renditions, both of songs that were already perfect and don’t need any editing, and of songs that are so bad they never needed to be reborn. Enter S.A.S, [...]

Episode 79: Live at Bar25 September 2010

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 07:32:02 PST

Flashback to summer. Living in Berlin and losing many days at the legendary and now sadly, closed Bar25. The thing about Bar25 was that no one really knew when the party started or ended. Wednesday til Tuesday? Probably, and lucky for us we got to be a part of the closing summer of one of [...]

Episode 78: Derren’s Dirty Disco

http://soulclap.us — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 11:59:42 PDT

If you’ve been to London and you haven’t met Derren Smart, you’re clearly not at the right party. Or maybe you’re at the right party, but you’re slumped over unconscious in the corner. Or maybe you’re obnoxiously cliquey group of friends is keeping you from expanding and meeting cool people. Who knows, there are many [...]

Episode 77: Death On The Balcony

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 15:20:03 PDT

Not sure if we’ve said it here, but at this point it might be common knowledge that people in Leeds are a buncha nuttas. Needless to say (I mean look at that picture) our friends Paul and Mark aka Death On The Balcony are no exception. You probably know them from their awesome Cruel Banana [...]

Episode 76: Dijon’s Easy Listening

http://soulclap.us — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 08:00:03 PDT

Hey planet earth, its Charlie taking over this post. I know our format is typically exclusive mixes for the Adventures of Soul Clap Podcast, but we had to make an exception for Dijon. Some of you might know I went to college out on the west coast, Pitzer College to be exact, in Claremont, California. [...]

Episode 75: G$ aka G-Moaney and Tracey Morgan in The New Black

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 02:43:02 PDT

If you’ve ever been sent a promo by Gadi Mizrahi from Wolf + Lamb you’ve probably noticed the (G$) after the filename. At first we were kind of confused but then he explained that he puts that there after he masters a track on the system at The Marcy and then we started calling it [...]

Bonus Episode: Live @ Midweek Techno April 2010

http://soulclap.us — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 06:34:10 PDT

Now we’re reposting for your lazy Sunday. Enjoy it Tracklist: Tony Cook ft. Dam-Funk – What’s On Your Mind – Stone’s Throw Night Plane – [...]

mixTape Time 21: DJ Three’s Martini D&B

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 07:47:43 PDT

It sure has been awhiiiile since we did a mixTape time, but when DJ Three sent me this drum & bass mix he did 1996 it seemed like the perfect way to bring it back for 2 reasons. First, because we had Three on mixTape time way back in 2008 before we even knew him [...]

Episode 74: Phil’s BBQ Mix aka Dancing In The Rain

http://soulclap.us — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 12:52:31 PDT

So on our latest trip to Chicago we were lucky enough to get picked up at the airport in a cherry red ’61 Chevy Impala convertible (thanks Maryrose & Elena). It’s definitely the coolest car either of us have ever been in, but what’s a cool car without a cool soundtrack?! Luckily our girls were [...]

Episode 73: Catz n Dogz Do The Laundry

http://soulclap.us — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 08:11:32 PDT

Episode 72: Riding With The Moustache Mamas

http://soulclap.us — Tue, 18 May 2010 10:17:36 PDT

If you’re wondering, “What the F is a Moustache Mamas???” Well check yo’ self foo! Close your eyes and imagine what happens when one Northerner & a North American meet up in a dirty East London basement. Space and time stand still…gravity shifts, a unicorn gets its wings… Representing both London and Berlin, Helen Burnip [...]

Episode 71: Funkalicious Gunna Funk You Up

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 05 May 2010 15:38:54 PDT

One of the privileges of programing a podcast is the ability to uncover new DJ talent. Such is the case with 23 year old Parisian, Funkalicious James. An elementary school classmate with Le Loup, these two make up the production duo Childhood ’87, featured on Aux-Rec (on the flip side of our Baker Man release) [...]

Episode 70: Live at Sunday School For Degenerates

http://soulclap.us — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 14:01:26 PDT

When we first made it to Made Event‘s now legendary WMC closing bash 4 years ago we we’re completely blown away. The party was still at the now defunct (and sorely missed) Pawn Shop parking lot and I’m pretty sure Sunday School was the only day of the year they opened up out there, so [...]

Episode 69: Mazda Gets Sexy

http://soulclap.us — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 08:56:57 PDT

For obvious reasons Episode 69 is pretty important here on the mothership. So when we realized that it was coming up we thought about maybe skipping it until we could get a special Soul Clap mix ready. That was until I heard Mazda’s sound of one soul clapping mix, or more importantly, made love to [...]

Episode 68: Eddie Neal Housemaster B

http://soulclap.us — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 11:58:48 PDT

Way back in November 2008 we posted a mix from 1988 by old school Boston house legend Eddie Neal with a whole back story (which proves how small the world is) and interview (which includes a major Boston dance music history lesson). Now, Eddie has hit us up again with some new recordings from the [...]

Episode 67: Demi’s Tribute To Jonny

http://soulclap.us — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 11:36:10 PST

Life sure is full of coincidences, so i guess it makes sense that we got an email from UK dance music veteran Demi asking us to air a very special mix on our podcast while we were in London in January. While he’s been a major name in the game for a long time many [...]

Episode 66: Night Plane

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 07:24:30 PST

We first met William Rauscher of Night Plane at the Marcy Hotel outside in the yard. It had been a long night and it was a beautiful Brooklyn morning and when we were introduced, his name immediately rang a bell. Wasn’t he the Resident Advisor writer who did the label of the month feature on [...]

Episode 65: Jonny White Toronto Madness

http://soulclap.us — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 16:27:00 PST

When it comes to the few North Americans seriously stacking their discographies in recent years, few can compete with Jonny White. Representing Toronto, Jonny has been just slaying the Techno/House genre with releases on his own No. 19 Music, Ripperton’s Perspectiv Records and a ton of remix work including a feature alongside Tiefschwarz for Crosstown [...]

Episode 64: Live at Airdrop Late Supper Pt. 1

http://soulclap.us — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 11:47:47 PST

Right before Thanksgiving we did a mini US tour of New York, Chicago and Detroit and it felt pretty amazing. Everywhere we went we debuted new Soul Clap music and every time people went crazy. It really blew our minds to get such a great response in America, especially at such an American time as [...]

Episode 63: Till Von Swizzle

http://soulclap.us — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 12:43:29 PST

Till Von Sein is the master of arrogance. He’s gotta be our favorite German dude mostly because he rocks crispy white tee’s with catchy slogans on them for like maybe two or three uses tops and then throws them away. Plus whenever he’s buying sneakers, homeboy always cops two pair. I mean, if that ain’t [...]

Episode 62: Phil Is Ill

http://soulclap.us — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 10:41:15 PST

During our recent visit to the homeland Chicago to play Noe & Fred’s Souvenir party we finally got a chance to hang with Phillip Stone. Many of you may already have this guy’s stuff, just check your iTunes and search for “Phil Edit” or “Phil’s Dub”, that’s where we first saw his name. For year’s [...]

Episode 61: LM, Mean DJ Machine At 15

http://soulclap.us — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:05:49 PST

So a couple weeks ago we got a message from our website from someone named Leonardo Machado. He said something like “I’m 15 years old, from Venezuela and I have this mix and was hoping maybe you can podcast it”. We love our fans and the first 2 tracks were Wicked Game Edit and 3 [...]

Episode 60: Jay Shepheard Live in Stockholm

http://soulclap.us — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:48:22 PST

Somewhere along our last European tour we were in Berlin and our good friend Voitek (spelled Wojchiech, believe it our not) from 3 Channels aka Catz ‘n Dogz told us it was time to go to dinner. So to dinner we went, and when we got there we met Jay Shepheard. Jay is from the [...]

Part 2 of this 3 part podcast from Emmanuel’s Party Bucket in Leeds, UK takes us deep into the nights selection of New Disco, Funk and 80′s. The mood of the room really lit up as we took the night down this much anticipated path. If one thing was taken away from this party, if [...]

Episode 57: Soul Clap in Leeds Pt. 1

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:20:54 PDT

Undoubtedly dope, the Leeds massive has to be one of the best crews we met on our recently finished European tour. The warm welcome we received at their party, Emmanuel’s Party Bucket resulted in a tremendous DJ set that we are proud to share on The Adventures of Soul Clap Podcast. Shout outs to Mark [...]

Episode 56: The Adventures Of NavboX

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:10:07 PDT

Oh NavboX how do we love you? Let me count the ways! You used to hold it down in Boston… …And you always make it a great party when you play here now. You made this amazing podcast banner because my computer is broken. We always party together at festivals. Your whole family is cool [...]

Episode 55: No Regular Play’s Dedication To Onno

http://soulclap.us — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:11:49 PDT

Something for the weekend… Something to get you excited for No Regular Play’s Boston debut with Soul Clap at Midweek Techno next Wednesday (7/15/09)… Something… …that I think we’ve been waiting for since we met these crazy faukers earlier this year, but they’re so busy being amazing that it took a little while for them [...]

Episode 54: Nathaniel Jay Pitches It Down

http://soulclap.us — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:04:06 PDT

The first time I met Nathaniel Jay was after the AirDrop/Dirty Bird party when I ended up taging with him at his apt until like noon. We immediately were on the same vibe and when he told me he called his crew/parties “Pitch It Down” I was totally sold. Since then we’ve partied with Nat [...]

Episode 53: D-Lux Presents Chicks With Mix

http://soulclap.us — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 12:36:09 PDT

You know, no joke intended, it takes a lot of BALLS to step forward as a female DJ in boy dominated Boston.Â There’s ego, testosterone, jealousy, no joke sometimes it can get really hairy, but our girl D-Lux, aka Laura Deluca, has proven time and time again that dance music is about a hell of [...]
