Words from the Clap:

Gator Boots, pimped out Gucci Suits and a quarter tank of gas in a new E-Class Benz. Sometimes musical rules are just meant to be broken. With no exceptions, here comes GATOR BOOTS, a new imprint born in the true spirit of underground. No holds barred, vinyl only and extraordinarily limited we proudly present bootlegs for the sake of bootlegs. Can you dig it? We KNEW you could!

Gator Boots Volume 1 comes at you live n' direct representing a sonic snap shot of contemporary American pop music, fused with an underground application. "Prototype" might not be the one, but it certainly comes close, leading to ecstatic dancefloor reaction. "Umi Says" shine your light on the world with a deep 4x4 cut that fills the crowd with emotion aka that warm fuzzy feeling. "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" insists that its time to clean up the pimps and the pushers at the same time with breakbeat house beat that's rough and ready for primetime. "Done It Again" explores the softer side of Grace Jones is edited and expanded into blissful moments of psychedelia.

The story behind this record begins in 2004 on Newbury Street in Boston Massachusetts. Juice Belushi founding member Paul Foley is dressed head to toe in 80's regalia, including vest, fingerless leather gloves, fedora and chain connecting nose-ring to ear pierce. Its like a scene out of Michael Jackson's Bad, minus the dancing.  At his feet is a boom box blasting freestyle and 80's electro-funk, he's handing out mix cds. Needless to say we're intrigued!

Fast forward a decade and we're proud to share this underground story in its incredible musical format thats about as Boston as "Pahking Ya Cah fah a bowl of clam chowdah with Whitey Bulgah".

JUICE BELUSHI is Paul Foley and James Trocano's latest musical endeavor. Juice Belushi means absolutely nothing, and quite frankly, sounds like a moniker for a couple of dip shits. However, despite the absurdity of the name, the music created is at an Investigation Discovery Network level of seriousness. Their production style of sampling, chopping and layering is deep-rooted in the traditions of Hip-Hop's hallowed golden era (The Bomb Squad, Marley Marl, Prince Paul, SD50's), while the actual aural output of these productions evokes the spirit of early to mid-90's deep house (Larry Heard, Blaze, Kerri Chandler, Romanthony). In order to achieve this authentically classic sound, they sample exclusively from actual vinyl records and furthermore, they do not use computers; in fact, they never have. They have only very recently learned how to send emails and use the Google. They still have no idea what MIDI cables are used for. Juice Belushi takes you back to a simpler time when enthusiastic amateurs could trip over a drum machine, bump their elbow on a synthesizer and in doing so create something interesting and beautiful.

Gadi Mizrahi - Bio 

Since he first hit the scene in 2001, Gadi Mizrahi has been one of New York's most essential new artists. As half of the duo Wolf + Lamb, he transformed Brooklyn's underground party scene, releasing modern house records by local acts and throwing legendary parties at The Marcy Hotel. As a producer, his deviously playful style of house has proved as infectious abroad as it is at home, earning him international praise and gigs at clubs like Fabric, Watergate and Club Der Visionaire. And as a seasoned underground DJ, his subtle finesse and sense of groove makes the party get deeper, weirder and way more sexy. 

Sometime around the turn of the millennium, Gadi met Zev Eisenberg at a party, and Wolf + Lamb was born almost immediately. Their methods were DIY right from the start: instead of sending demos to labels who didn't fit their sound, they founded Wolf + Lamb Music and released their own tracks digitally. Rather than playing boring gigs in Manhattan to make a buck, they leased a loft in Williamsburg and turned it into The Marcy Hotel, now one of NYC's most notorious venues, with parties that regularly run past noon the next day. In the beginning, most of W+L's artists were young and inexperienced, but Gadi coached them personally, pushing them until their tracks were strong enough to be released. By the end of 2009, Wolf + Lamb had put out almost 70 records, received accolades from Mixmag, Groove and countless blogs, and been named #3 label of the year by Resident Advisor. 

Wolf + Lamb continued to grow over the course of 2010, and so did Gadi himself. In June, he and Zev released their debut album, Love Someone, which made Mix Mag's album of the month and landed the pair on the cover of DJ Mag. From there, Gadi spearheaded The Wolf + Lamb Experience, a tour that hit some of house and techno's most important hubs (Detroit, Chicago, New York, London, Berlin) with a full cast of W+L characters in tow, including Soul Clap, Deniz Kurtel, Nico Jaar and No Regular Play. The label's profile was steadily on the rise, but Gadi didn't let himself rest, instead he launched a new vinyl-only imprint, Double Standard Records, and released an armful of 12-inches by himself, Soul Clap and former Beirut trumpet player Greg Paulus. As he spends the summer on a solo tour of Europe, he has the best of both worlds: a front man for house music's most well-loved rat pack, but with total independence to pursue his own ideas. He still has the easy demeanor of a party DJ from Brooklyn, but by now, Gadi Mizrahi is a global trendsetter.
