Words from the Clap:

And as the sun set that evening, Gator Boots knew that the world would never hear the music unless he DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT. "Who do they think they are?"  he sneered. "Damn suits shaking salt on the WHOLE GAME!" Suddenly the phone rang, alarmed Boots ran across the room. "Hello…" The line fuzzy and crackled with a terrible interference that overwhelmed the far away connection. "Gator Boots?" The voice on the other side was one he'd never forget, its tone deep and robust yet so strange. "If you can here me,"  the voice buzzed "you'll know what to do…" And the voice was right, he did know what to do. He would press GB002!

The 8 months since the December 2009 release of the first FreE.P. has been a whirlwind of touring that has take the humbled Soul Clappers around the world and back! From sweaty warehouses in London, to game changing daytime parties in Miami, to massive festivals in Portugal, to pure after hours magic at Berlin's Bar 25, they've spread their house music gospel, while meeting some of the coolest and most talented musicians and DJs in the game. Many of these unique individuals have been touched by Soul Clap’s music and in turn created their own edits/bootlegs, which have become the secret weapons of Soul Clap’s DJ sets. Now, countless dancefloors later, Soul Clap selected a few of our favorite party rocking jams of the summer to share with the world and they're proud to present The Clap & Friends FreE.P.

First in line are Wolf + Lamb/Double Standard label mates and Brooklyn unsung heroes Nick Debruyn & Greg Paulus aka No Regular Play with "Strange Cameo". Their rework of an 80's funk gem is inspired by many Marcy Hotel dance floor moments and has an oh so classic house groove and fresh bass line begging to be danced to. Next up is a Washington DC based industry newcomer, but after hours veteran, Navid Zahraie aka NavBox. His breakout contribution "He Likes You Too" is a stunning and emotional rework of an American singer-songwriter. This tune was one of the most magical moments of Soul Clap’s 2010 Sunday School For Degenerates DJ set that had DJ T of Get Physical fames's jaw dropping and feet moving. Then from over the pond in the UK are the Leeds institution of Mark Caramelli and Paul Hargreaves, better known as Death On The Balcony. A few months back Soul Clap remixed them for their Magic Bag Records imprint and after a few gigs together in Leeds everyone has become close friends. They bring a dancefloor bomb with a sense of humor to the release with "Cruel Banana". This 80's pop hit gets a monster drum pump and rolling bassline guaranteed to please and cheese. Finally, to complete the release the Soul Clap vaults have been opened to reveal "Falling From The Sky". This piece was written around the same time as The RnB FreE.P., but never saw the light of day. With 90's NYC at it's filter heavy core, the Clap have built a drum and synth framework that sets an afterhours mood perfect for falling from the sky and of course puffing tough.

Death On The Balcony - Cruel Banana

Wolf + Lambs' San Fran trio Pillowtalk join the W+L Black edits crew, serving up tastefully housed-up reworks of soul gems. First up they get the scissors out on Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell's late 60s soul anthem "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing", turning it into an extended, chugging disco-soul bomb. Next up is Bobby Hebb's version of the classic "Sunny", this time with the simplest of house beats added, making this an essential for Marcy Hotel nights. Lastly the Festivals' super-slow soul smoocher "You've Got The Makings Of A Lover" gets seriously pepped-up, with BPMs pushed towards peak-time dancefloor action.

PillowTalk - The Real Thing

Dubtribe Sound System - Do It Now (JM Edit)

A regular on one of our favourite label collectives, http://soundcloud.com/origamisound, Asger Bruun Hansen’s Places Series contribution comes somewhat out of the blue. If you’ve followed all of The Places Series releases so far, you’ll know by now that the inspiration for these tracks can come from anywhere and knows no boundaries – be they physical or musical. And http://soundcloud.com/oddshapes sound is leading the charge amongst his peers in defining a very unique approach to electronic music. Desert Plant is dark, mysterious and packed full of energy – a new, unexpected sound from the most unlikely of places.

Sometimes inspiration peeks out of the ordinary, finding you at a point where you least expect it. It doesn’t always have to be the flash of the Eureka! moment, just the growing creep of realisation and a willingness to look beyond the standard wash of the everyday.

“Sometimes I take a particular street, leading away from the city, when I walk. It has these old wooden sheds all the way down along one side and I was immediately drawn to this mysterious feeling, as if somebody was trying to hide something on this empty street with all these poorly constructed sheds,” Asger explains.

It’s a feeling that underpins the eerie dissension and mystery of ‘Desert Plant’. Humming with a dark tension, Asger’s field recordings of a busy city contrast against the desolate, rail track-guided path on its outskirts.

“The street is close to the rail track and at some point it becomes a path, which lets you cross under a bridge,” he continues, “under that bridge, I recorded these great low-frequency sounds – a mix of the cars going over and the wind blowing beneath the bridge, with the sirens and city noises contributing to the soundscape.

“As I went along the road, literally, the ideas started building up inside my head. I remember feeling like slowly returning to reality when walking back that day.”

Those field recordings create an angry dissension, the agitated whip of the wind interrupting the mournful call of the vocals, gnashing over the dead space between stabbing, percussive beats.

A track wired by dark and low frequencies, it feels like you’ve stumbled across a place where horrible things happen and are hid, the ghosts of those actions lingering only until they’re discovered.

“It’s called Desert Plant because of the place feeling like it was completely deserted, yet it offered me so much in the form of atmosphere and inspiration. There’s life but you have to find it, and acknowledge it.”

ASIP020 Odd Shapes - Desert Plant

The somewhat eccentric notions carried in ʻTiny Nutʼ, through his trickling hi-hats and
descending basslines, creates a wonderful deep house exoticism, that you may find easy
to lose yourself in. Somewhere in the middle we find a jacking vocal cut bringing us from
under the trees for a brief moment in time. Earthy sounds make this track warm and
enticing, but donʼt assume itʼs not dance floor material, because it is!
