Soul Clap

Boston-based DJs, producers, and label owners Soul Clap play an eclectic variety of house music that leans heavily toward vintage disco and electro-funk influences. First surfacing during the late 2000s with a series of tech-house singles and white label edits of pop and R&B songs, the pair began collaborating with kindred spirits Wolf + Lamb, and a 2011 joint collaboration as part of the DJ-Kicks mix series raised both duo's profiles. Subsequent, guest-heavy releases such as Efunk: The Album (2012) and Soul Clap (2016) have paid loving tribute to '80s and '90s R&B and house while keeping an experimental edge. They've formed alliances with legends such as George Clinton, Nona Hendryx, and Robert Owens, remixed acts like Laid Back, DJ Harvey, and Little Dragon, and have become staples of dance festivals throughout the world. Active into the 2020s, the duo have continued exploring garage, rave, and R&B influences on releases like 2021's WTF (World Transformation Force). Eli Goldstein (aka Bamboozle) and Charles Levine (Lonely C) met in high school, and started throwing parties in the Boston area in 2001. After establishing their credentials with an event series called Midweek Techno, they began touring internationally and releasing original tracks by 2007. Several singles and an EP, The Definition, appeared on labels like AirDrop Records and Wolf + Lamb Music by the end of the decade. Action/Satisfaction arrived on Crosstown Rebels in 2010, and the duo's Joint Custody EP, with Wolf + Lamb's Gadi Mizrahi, came out on Double Standard Records. Soul Clap and Wolf + Lamb collaborated for a well-received DJ-Kicks mix in 2011, and both duos toured across the world together, regularly playing six-hour DJ sets. Soul Clap's Social Experiment 002 mix appeared on Art Department's No.19 Music, and they collaborated with Art Department and Osunlade on the Crosstown Rebels-issued single "We Call Love." They also released two EPs with Catz N' Dogz as Clapz II Dogz. Soul Clap's debut full-length, Efunk: The Album, was released by Wolf + Lamb Music in 2012, featuring guests such as Melanie Blatt and the Genevan Heathen. The duo formed their own Soul Clap Records the same year, releasing material by themselves as well as artists like Nick Monaco and Night Plane. Soul Clap co-produced two tracks on Funkadelic's 2014 triple-album First Ya Gotta Shake the Gate, including the Sly Stone-featuring "In Da Kar," and a remix EP of these tracks appeared in 2015. The duo also released the single "Misty" with Chicago house singer Robert Owens, and issued the mix CD Watergate 19. Soul Clap and Wolf + Lamb co-founded the Crew Love label in 2016, and the full-length Soul Clap appeared that year, with guests including Nona Hendryx, Phill Celeste, and Ebony Houston. The pair's Fabric 93 mix appeared in 2017, and they produced Hendryx's 2018 EP Keep Funkin. The 2019 12" "Jupiter Crush" inaugurated House of Efunk Records, and the duo collaborated with house veteran Kathy Brown on the single "Ready to Freak." "Jussa Come," a soca-influenced single with Sha-Lor, appeared in 2020. Soul Clap released their third studio album, WTF (World Transformation Force), in 2021, with guests including Rich Medina, Desmond "DSP" Powell, and Harriet Brown. While just as joyous and celebratory as past works, the record had a more socially conscious theme, calling for radical love and hope in order to heal the planet.
