‘Shine (This Is It)’ is the first single from Soul Clap’s self-titled second album, a project that’s been four years in the making. An uplifting house music anthem, it features legendary vocalist Nona Hendryx and includes remixes from Dimitri From Paris and DJ Rocca aka Erodiscotique. 

Nona Hendryx is an original member of the trio Labelle who’s smash single “Lady Marmalade” is a timeless classic. Her solo singles “Transformation” and “Do What You Wanna Do” from the 80’s are equally prolific to her work as a back-up vocalist for a laundry list of legendary acts including Parliament-Funkadelic, Talking Heads and Peter Gabriel. There is magic contained in ‘Shine (This Is It)’ and the strength in Hendryx's vocal empowers our sprits and moves us on the dancefloor. Midnight Magic’s Morgan Wiley delivers an outstanding keyboard solo and fellow bandmate Jason Disu teams up with Kalí Rodríguez and No Regular Play’s Greg Paulus to form the Soul Clap horn section. 

Remixes come courtesy of Erodicotique a collaboration between Dimitri From Paris, the esteemed French producer who gained huge exposure in the mid 90's for his Playboy Mansion mix series and Sacreblue album and DJ Rocca, the modern Italo Disco master. Their main vocal and dubstrumental renditions take us back to the piano driven, Italo House sound of the 90’s with a classic loon sample to prick the ears of the old school. 

“Shine (This is It) started as an experiment using as many sounds from the Moog Sub37 as possible,’ explain Soul Clap, ‘We wanted to write something that felt as modern as it did retro, which is a typical frame of mind for us over here! It’s the big question how can you charge forward but always nod to the past? Shout out goes to Chuck “Tha Fonk” Fishman and Sa’D “The Hourchild” Ali from the Parliament-Funkadelic mob who put us in touch with Nona Hendryx. She was such a pleasure to work with and got into the groove of this record effortlessly.” 

Starting out cutting their teeth in the early rave scene in Boston, Soul Clap soon found fame through a series of house edits and became household names through notable releases including a DJ Kicks alongside close allies Wolf + Lamb. Their funky electronic sound, called EFUNK, earned them honorary entry into the Parliament-Funkadelic family and a release with George Clinton. As DJs they have played around the world and back again, with residencies at legendary venues like DC10, Output and the Electric Pickle.

EARLY GLOBAL SUPPORT FROM Opolopo, Terry Hunter, Richard Earnshaw, Grant Nelson, Micky More, Jamie Lewis, Booker T., Hec Romero, Mark Di Meo, Brutha Basil, Mr. Mike, Mark Brickman & many more...

2020 brought out the creative juices of Producers Reelsoul & Groove Junkies (aka Groove N' Soul) who had stellar years individually and collectively. When the dust finally settled they landed on Traxsource's Top 100 Soulful House Artists of the Year Chart and earned the #3 & #14 spots respectively. Early in the year they teamed up with vocalist and House newcomer Tertulien Thomas on his MoHo debut "You Can't Hide." Their slammin' cover of David Joseph's 1983 underground soul / funk hit shot to #1 on Traxsource's Soulful House chart and clocked in at #35 on their year ending Top 200 Soulful House songs.

This time around the trio take on the Keni Burke classic "Keep Rising To The Top," a song that's filled with hope and a much needed message of self-determination for the New Year. Originally released in 1982 on RCA, Keni's uplifting and infectious song inspired generations of producers to repurpose Burke's beautiful instrumentation and vocals for decades to come. Its iconic bass-line & dreamy opening synth sounds have been sampled and used in songs by LL Cool J, Mary J. Blige, Mary Jane Girls, Redman, Dilla & Pete Rock to name a few. Re-imagining a downtempo groover and turning it into a 121BPM House jam is never an easy task, but the fellas pull it off with amazing results and ultimately put their own unique stamp on it. Tim Bailey's incredible bass coupled with Groove Junkies sturdy drum programming & deft arrangement establish the foundation for Reelsoul's luscious keys and Tertulien's heartfelt vocal. The fellas incorporation and interpretation of the Kanye West Choir's Sunday Service verse & "All Night Long" hook on the vamp is the cherry on top! Tertulien's call and response interaction with singers Nichelle Monroe, Lisa Sadowski, Tonya Sharae Davis & Solara (who provide impeccable background vocals) is pure hands in the air magic! Positive early feedback from House legends Grant Nelson, Richard Earnshaw and Hec Romero who emphatically said "LOVE THIS! YOU GUYS NAILED IT!" have us over the moon.

Andy Caldwell is a three-time GRAMMY-nominated electronic artist, in-demand songwriter and producer, and world-touring DJ who’s left an indelible mark on dance music for more than two decades. A key architect of the deep house sound, the San Francisco-born, Los Angeles-based artist has forever impacted the global house and dance underground via his multiple projects from his days as part of the innovative live house act Soulstice to his tastemaker record label, Uno Recordings and his timeless sound. Now entering his next creative era, Caldwell continues to push dance music culture to new ground as an artist, producer, entrepreneur and forward-thinking innovator. 

Caldwell is inextricably linked to San Francisco's underground rave movement of the early '90s, a scene and sound he shaped as a then-burgeoning solo artist, first via his breakthrough 1994 solo single "Superfunkidiculous," and later as a founding member of Soulstice, his groundbreaking live house group alongside childhood friend Gabriel Rene. As Soulstice, Caldwell crafted moody downtempo electronic music that mixed elements of jazz, soul and trip-hop in a live-DJ hybrid format. The group released three influential albums on seminal San Francisco imprint Om Records: the critically acclaimed Illusion (2001) and its accompanying remix album, Mixed Illusions (2001), and In the Light (2011). The Soulstice sound, today considered a permanent part of San Francisco's dance music history and musical DNA, solidified the group as one of the first acts in the U.S. to mix live performance and recording elements atop an electronic framework. 

Bolstered by the keen production, songwriting and remixing skills he adopted via his commercial and creative breakthrough with Soulstice, Caldwell has since become one of the most sought-after artists and producers in the scene. As a solo artist, he's built an impressive, genre-expansive body of work, which includes his debut album, Universal Truth (2006, Om Records), and his follow-up full-length, Obsession (2009, Uno Recordings/Tommy Boy Records). He's also released multiple original tracks, remixes and EPs on some of the leading electronic labels of the day, including Ultra Records, Toolroom, Yoshitoshi and Naked Music, among others, in addition to various compilations and DJ mix albums. 

Beyond his original music, Caldwell is a multifaceted tastemaker and innovative entrepreneur.  He founded his trendsetting imprint, Uno Recordings. In addition to releasing his own music, Uno Recordings has helped launch the careers of electronic heavyweights like Wolfgang Gartner, Trentemoller, Behrouz, Yoshimoto and many others.

Most recently, Caldwell launched IO Music Academy, a pioneering boutique music production school based in Los Angeles. IO Music Academy provides a high-quality, artist-centric curriculum focused on engaging music education, boundless creativity and cutting-edge technology. The school, which hosts regular free workshops and masterclasses with electronic legends and rising artists like ZHU, Justin Jay, Sharam, Sultan + Shepard and others, is today ushering in the next generation of producers and artists. IO Music Academy has partnered with and presented at world-class music and tech conferences, including Winter Music Conference, across the years.

Caldwell is scheduled to release an album project featuring all-new music in 2021.
