After two critically acclaimed volumes of their producer-driven compilation series Tempo Dreams, Brooklyn’s Bastard Jazz Recordings is back with Volume 3 of the beat-centric, forward looking concept. For this edition, the label has tapped Soul Clap, the Boston bred international ambassadors of all things funky.  Piloting their cosmic mothership all over the globe, Soul Clap have built a cult following worldwide both through their solo endevaors and via their Crew Love brand formed with Brooklyn’s Wolf+Lamb. Staying with the Tempo Dreams theme of showcasing new styles,  emerging artists and the best of their beatmaking  peers, Soul Clap has compiled a showcase of entirely unreleased modern funk, electro soul, and leftfield house music on this compilation, sure to make their spiritual guide Dr. Funkenstein aka George Clinton proud. 

As in with previous volumes, the featured artists all come from different places, spaces and times but are tied together by the musical connection running concurrent on the record. Soul Clap’s unmistakable vibe is powerfully  represented through their own original track “So Sedated”, a heavy chugging synth ode to the transformational powers of the dancefloor, featuring understated vocals by Dayonne Rollins.  Crew Love & Dirtybird artist Tanner Ross teams up with Jules Born for “No 1 Else But You”, a late night off-kilter piece of nasty funk, while fellow teammate Navid Izadhi brings a Cali swagger with the smoothed out G-Funk vibes of “Cadillack”.  The left coast is further represented by Pasadena’s XL Middleton whose “AntiSlumper” kicks off the album with a throwback boogie excursion, while the George Clinton-approved production team FSQ delivers the irresistible down & dirty “Break The Funk”. Amsterdam artist Tom Trago comes in tough with the electro porn of “Hard Cash” while NYC is represented fully with disco hero Tom Noble’s “Tanked”,  Analog Player’s Society’s wavey “Enter City”, and Greg Paulus’s late night soul vibes on “Everything (Love Down)”. 

Soul Clap Presents: Tempo Dreams Volume 3 arrives March 30 on 2xLP, CD and digital worldwide via Bastard Jazz Recordings, prefaced with a limited edition 7-inch double single in stores February 24th.
