PillowTalk003 w/ Occult

Hard to believe it's been more than a year since our <a href="http://blog.soulclap.us/2010/09/13/freep02/">Clap & Friends FreE.P.</a> and almost two since we kicked off the series with <a href="http://blog.soulclap.us/2009/12/17/the-rnb-free-p/">three slices of r&b infused house that came to define a chunk of our sound</a>. With everything that's happened in the last 2 years it would be easy to forget the importance of giving back, but fear not loyal clappers, we wont let you down. So for FreE.P. #3 we continue in the spirit of "showcasing unreleased, but dance-floor-tested material for free download on our website" with three certified bombs by men of the moment, MAM. But we're getting ahead of ourselves, so let's go back in time...

It was "One of Them Nights" back in late 2009 and as usual we were at an afterparty in Leeds when a sudden urge left us very much in need of a spliff. "I got that chronic right here, blood" came a voice from none other than the track-master himself, Miguel Campbell. As you probably gathered from the <a href="http://blog.soulclap.us/2011/09/28/episode-94-39-minutes-of-funk-with-mam/">podcast</a> we just posted, it was love at first smoke and 2 years down the road the music of Miguel, and his partner in MAM, Matt Hughes have become staples in almost all our DJ sets. You can get <a href="http://blog.soulclap.us/2011/09/28/episode-94-39-minutes-of-funk-with-mam/">the whole scoop on MAM in the podcast post</a>, but to make a long story short, after the massive response we got for including "Can't Live Without Music" on our Essential Mix we figured it was time to big up our boys with FreE.P. That is, before <a href="http://www.phonicarecords.com/product/view/101173">Wolf + Lamb stepped in and offered up a four track on their Black Label</a>. At the time, we figured we could help give the record an extra push, but little did we know Miguel was about to blow...

But lets cut to the chase, we're so proud to have these MAM tracks as our latest FreE.P. They are 3 bonafide dance-floor bombs that have become staples in our DJ sets over the summer and are a fantastic representation of the MAM sound; thumping french-touched, sample-crazy house music, but slowed down for a new generation. First in line, "Reel Sweet" is a warmup weapon of choice, perfect for getting into the 80's mode and seducing the crowd. Next up is "One Of Them Nights (Alternative Mix)", a special version of one of the most requested MAM cuts off the Wolf + Lamb Black release. This interpretation is guaranteed to get you down, Mr Ocean would be proud. Last, but certainly not least, is "Can't Live Without Music", the jam that started it all. Its a slowed down, bass-heavy vocoder workout that is a personal favorite and a theme song for our journey along this long road we call music. YEAHHH BOI!

Janet Jackson - That's the way Love goes (Cheese Butta Remix)

This is a re-vamped version of the track Light Child.

Light Child

“Maisha” is the Swahili word for life.

This album to me expresses the feeling of embracing life in all its forms, with its different perspectives, moods, sounds, energies. In contrast to previous work, which was somewhat more reflective, this album was made with a lot of creative energy and drive. When starting each track I felt like I was overflowing with ideas that I had to try out and get down as soon as possible. Sometimes the inspiration would come from listening to various new albums on Bandcamp from around the world: jazz, African folk, hip-hop, Neo-soul, funk, afrobeat. Other times the inspiration would come simply from biking around Los Angeles and taking in sights and sounds from different parts of the city.

I think there can easily be pressure when making to album for it to feel as though each album has to embody a sophisticated concept or make some specific statement. Albums expressing abstract concepts or political or social statements are important for the musical culture, to be sure; but music is also an expression of where the artist is at spiritually, emotionally, and creatively at a certain point in time. This is what Maisha means for me. It represents the joys, excitements, and bursts of creative feeling, as well as the tranquility and nostalgia that I felt at times while making it. With this work, as with my previous work, I am ever seeking to defy genre. Of course, it’s clear that downtempo and trip-hop music form the backbone of what I am doing, but I am also trying to challenge those labels all the time by exploring different rhythms, scales, arrangements, and instruments.

I hope this album helps you find inspiration to express yourself or explore in whatever ways are possible or speak to you in your life, as it did for me.

Thanks for listening.

Duality

An instance of opposition or between two concepts or two aspects of something

Eleven

The third full length album from Kaleidoscope Jukebox. This music is for stargazing. Look into the deep, vast universe. Listen to the sounds. Feel the air. It's the orchestra of space time. Lush, moody vibes, beautiful light and dark matter combine to tell the story of the stars. The story of you. The story of everything. Each song is a unique phase of your travels. How far will you go? How far have you already come? You are a part of it. The universe is staring right back at you. The world is your kaleidoscope.

Time Is A Cloud

Work...A lot of it! 
That's what I thought when Flight Facilities told me of there plan to make a months worth of mix tapes, spanning 4 decades, as well as incorporating sound bites of global events of each year sprinkled effortlessly (though no doubt painstakingly) throughout the mixes!

What can i do to help, I said!
Make an edit for us they said!

So I did!
Knowing I'd be up against the antipodean Edit Maestro that is Rocco Raimundo.
I thought I'd try and throw some grunt into what for me was a classic tune from Bowie's Back catalogue and serious jam in it's original format.

You can listen to their first mix (1972-1982) here.
