Join Culprit and Throne of Blood as we welcome the white hot Soul Clap in their first Los Angeles appearance! Unless you've been living under a rock all Summer, you'll recognize Boston's Soul Clap as the duo behind the anthemic Wolf + Lamb edits Conscious and Love Light. Alongside Berlin's DJ Kaos and TK Disco of Smash Hit, this night should prove to be nothing but sheer disco bliss :D
Soul Clap bio from ResidentAdvisor:
| quote: | Before today there was yesterday and after tomorrow is the future. 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 events. 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 weekly Snack Pack Jack Attack Radio Show on Utopia Boston Radio and The Adventures of Soul Clap Podcast. Always pushing new boundaries, always traveling time and space, Soul Clap truly is the Great White Hope. |

DJ Kaos was the mastermind behind the trio, Terranova and this gives you an idea of his versatility, it's been a long favorite of mine
his production as Ghost Cauldron is fantastic too |

DJ Kaos:
Berlin's DJ Kaos is known to work the wheels of steel. Kaos started out as a turntablist with his roots in hip hop beats. Yet despite collaborations with the likes of Beans and The Antipop Consortium, Kaos surprised many with 'Hello Stranger' which many critics listed amongst the best dance albums of last year.
Awash with punk funk, italo, disco and house influences Hello Stranger features an all star roster of guest artists that included Captain Comatose's Khan and Snaxx, Nicole Morier from Electrocute, Daniel Wang, Erlend Oye and the Rapture's Matty Safer amongst others.
DJ Kaos: "I have a monthly residency at the Panorama Bar in Berlin and tend to play straight up techno. It all depends on the club. Sometimes if the crowd is right, I will do a disco set... I have a lot of exciting new techno and some old Detroit classics. I also have a lot of leftfield disco with me that kind of has a Paradise Garage vibe. Italo is also a big influence but I like late '70s italo, you know the cosmic sound of people like Daniele Baldelli, Mozart DJ, Klein MBO and Tantra."
How's that for "usual mnml djs"? :stongue: |
