Elevation (Remixes)

Elevation (Soul Clap Remix)

The Stairway to Nowhere (FSQ Remix) is part of a large collection of previously unreleased FSQ remixes, available exclusively to Soul Clap Records Bandcamp monthly subscribers. Titled "FSQ - The Remix Special 2" this collection covers unexpected remix work that the Soul Clap Records stalwart group FSQ has undertaken in the past decade.

The original track "Stairway To Nowhere" was released in 2021 by dynamic producer / songwriter Le Chev (Michael Cheever) and Mexico's finest, Pato Watson and singer songwriter Drew Citron.

For their remix, FSQ turns down the tempos on the original, and adds heaps of slinky Spanish styled guitars, booming funk slap bass, turning this stairway into a path to the Balearic isles. FSQ's One Era (aka Matt Coogan) provides most of the additional instrumentation here, including his trademark pocketed disco drumming and Caribbean percussion stylings.

He is known for his songwriting, recording and production work with LP Giobbi, Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters), Crush Club, Purple Disco Machine, SSION, Matthew Barney (artist), Lauren Hill, Johnny Stimson, SOFI TUKKER, Fischerspooner, and many more.

Brooklyn indie-rock stalwart Drew Citron formed Beverly in 2013, after having got her start as a touring member with Frankie Rose and The Pains of Being Pure of Heart. With Free Now, Citron, one of the most beautiful voices in Indie Rock, comes to the table with a whole lot of pain to sing about and the full musical knowledge to put herself, and her talents, front and center.

“Driving Away From Home” is totally transformed by Blue Mondays from a jangly piece of UK pop into a dubbed out, synth laden, arpeggiated slice of sleek mid tempo Italo Disco / early Italo Riviera House perfect for driving off into the Mediterranean sunset on the Autostrada A10. DJs and dancers will be asking for this track ID.

On “Illusion of Grandeur” Soul Clap’s Charles Levine brings us a cinematic production, evoking the score of a French new wave film from the 1970s with added modern house flair. This piece of music was originally recorded in Ibiza with a spoken word vocal contribution from French “renaissance woman” Carlie C. Carlie is many things, a fashionista, a former lead dancer at some of the biggest events on the island of Ibiza and now an emerging DJ and producer with recent releases within the SCR exclusive music series on Bandcamp. On this new record Carlie’s big personality and unmistakable voice sets a mood guaranteed to entrance and hypnotize!

Charles Levine - Illusions Of Grandeur (Instrumental)

Charlie Cooper is a Manchester based soul singer who writes songs combining elements of soul and jazz, singing with a deep and husky soulful voice. The songwriting is approached with the same rootsy realism and honesty as Bill Withers accompanied with grooves akin to Bill, Stevie Wonder and old school Stax and Motown alongside luscious musical arrangements. Covering the usual topics of love and relationships but also the not so typical topics of religion and addiction, Charlie invites you in for a glimpse into her mind and her world, whilst her band ("The CC's") kick it like Booker T and the MGs.

Charlie is making music true to herself, conveying a message that is her own. In an industry where the likes of Adele and Michael Kiwanuka have shown us that real music is back, it's an opportune moment to introduce you to Miss Charlie Cooper.
