The early years As children on earth, they were driven to understand the history of dance music and found their teacher in original boston disco DJ Caril Mitro who admitted them into the temple of Vinyl Connection (whose members included Dimitri From Paris and Frankie Knuckles plus many more). Caril taught Soul Clap that "house wears many hats" and instilled the sounds of American dance music while fostering an addiction to digging that has become a worldwide quest to acquire the best vinyl. Soul Clap´s training goes beyond history lessons to mastering all the elements of the DJ: knowledge, mixing, programming, performance and experience. In between With their roots firmly planted in their hometown of Boston, Soul Clap went out into the world to perform at places like The Marcy Hotel, Fabric, The Electric Pickle and Bar25 and in smaller places in America, Europe, Japan, Mars and Jupiter plus dancefloors in other galaxies that you haven´t heard of. They blasted into space with a series of game changing edits (including the summer 2010 anthem Extravaganza), originals (Action/Satisfaction & Lonely C) and remixes (for Laid Back, Metronomy, Little Dragon, Robert Owens, DJ Harvey and more). They joined forces with Wolf + Lamb to mix a chapter of the legendary DJ Kicks series and broke musical ground on a two month world tour of 6+ hour DJ sets. They always believe in sharing the knowledge by teaching college courses, doing workshops, speaking on panels and making sure to include forgotten classics in their epic DJ sets. The future By harnessing the past Soul Clap looks to the future. In 2012 they released their debut long player, EFUNK: The Album. A culmination of their sonic influences so far, full of collaborations and programmed to listen to on one vinyl LP, it included a cover version of Egyptian Lover’s classic Alezby Inn, which got the seal of approval from Egypt himself in the form of a remix due out in 2013. Pushing their musical message even deeper, Soul Clap proudly launched Soul Clap Records, a sounding board for original material, a framework for their own funky family and a spotlight on undiscovered talent from their hometown of Boston and beyond. To keep the vinyl torch burning the label features vinyl only tracks and limited 7” records, as a matter of fact 45’s have become an exciting new medium in Soul Clap’s DJ performance. Soul Clap Records also completes the trinity now known as Crew Love, a family formed with Wolf + Lamb and Double Standard Records. With epic Sonar & A.D.E. parties already in the history books, this brotherhood will bring together artists from all three labels for many more epic experiences in 2013. As the stars align, Soul Clap to embark on new adventures for 2013. Coming soon is a mixed compilation for newly relaunched UK Garage legend Nice ‘n Ripe records and possibly the most exciting mothership connection of all, a budding collaboration with the creator of P-Funk himself, Mr. George Clinton and his C Kunspyruhzy record label. Always pushing new boundaries, always traveling through time and space, The Clap is on a mission to change the world one dance floor at a time. Dr. Funkenstein has taught us well: free your mind, and your ass will follow.Their RA profile lists Wolf + Lamb, Airdrop Records, Double Standard Records, Soul Clap Records and 1 more.Recently at The Chocolate Factory, Earthly Delights, public records · often with Matt FX, Lovie, LADYMONIX, none of them here that night
“The Story of Baby Prince.....”
their own biography
the whole biography
The Story of Baby Prince..... BABY PRINCE, or the creature formerly known as Sade`s personal disco ball, brings nothing to your party and he doesn´t want to be there. Yes, he can be known by other names and times he has been known to haunt: Brooklyn’s Marcy Hotel, Partner of Wolf and Lamb, Monsieur G. Mizrahi. And yes, these labels, parties and friends were a moment that called out to all of us, saying „slow down, listen, and think“, and all the points in this constellation continue to have their place in dance music. But in the case of the now, and of our dear Baby Prince, what exactly are we reckoning with? A misanthropic lover of twisted psychic carnivals, whose untimely devotion – to staying at home instead of going out – forces a reassessment of the clubbing times we inhabit, the places that we frequent, and the music that supposedly gets us there. Joy and Pain, Sunshine and Rain: as the universe casts the dice of life, the souls of decadents deviously gather the fruits of electronic dance music, roaming among the insipid kickdrums of third-wave detroit techno and paltry reproductions of „deep“ Chicago house. But sometimes, a being of magnitude and depth unleashes a force upon these agitated masses: a blistering liberation of the sleepless crackers, those yellow-bellied fiends of the night who circulate mindlessly from one speaker stack to the next. Baby Prince, however, seems not to care about all of this. Well, perhaps that is untrue; perhaps even unfair. For given his penchant to mix stiff drinks with sequined headbands and 100 bpm sex jam anthems, you may find that despite his own best efforts, the party seethes through his soul, lying dormant like an itch he can’t scratch until the release of the first record he drops. And yes, this all plays quite well to your and to my advantage, dear friend. Because as the party inches quietly through the folds of his capillaries, hands, and fingertips, as he tweaks knobs and prunes cuts like a manic gardener of the groove, all of this will finally erupt into full fleshly display on the jacking bodies and euphoric faces of BABY PRINCE and all his menagerie of freaks, together and ready to set your party off.Their RA profile lists Wolf + Lamb, Double Standard Records, somethinksounds and Soul Clap Records.Recently at The Boiler @ ELM Foundation · often with Uncle Rudy, Sundae Suki, MLE, none of them here that night
