When it comes to the few North Americans seriously stacking their discographies in recent years, few can compete with Jonny White. Representing Toronto, Jonny has been just slaying the Techno/House genre with releases on his own No. 19 Music, Ripperton’s Perspectiv Records and a ton of remix work including a feature alongside Tiefschwarz for Crosstown Digital Rebels. Unfortunately we’ve still never met face to face, however we’re already quite familiar with his music after discovering his after hours treasure “Rainsong” (No. 19 Music) back in 2008 and what a tune!
We asked Jonny to do a podcast a while back and this one came together live at his pad in Toronto New Years Day after a night of madness! The mix is loaded with original content and we’re thrilled that he gets things rolling with our new Clapz II Dogz project made with Voitek from Catz n Dogz. Lastly, you can catch Jonny White and us (Da Clap) on the same bill for the first time in Miami this year at Crosstown Rebels’s Get Lost WMC party. Enjoy Jonny White!

Right before Thanksgiving we did a mini US tour of New York, Chicago and Detroit and it felt pretty amazing. Everywhere we went we debuted new Soul Clap music and every time people went crazy. It really blew our minds to get such a great response in America, especially at such an American time as Thanksgiving. I’m not going to get into a discussion about the moral implications of t-day, but I will say it’s a special time for family and friends to get together here in the states so it meant alot for us to get so much love in our home country. Now, before it’s too late we wanted to give you, our beloved listeners all over the world a taste of what our pre t-day tour sounded like. This recording is the first hour of our 3 hour, early morning set at Brooklyn’s Market Hotel for Airdrop’s Late Supper. It features a bunch of exclusive new Soul Clap music, some of which has been released, but mostly is forthcoming and never coming out. Part 3 of the mix is a bit deeper for the sunrise and should be coming out on Airdrop’s Airpod in the next few weeks, so stay tuned.

The first track of this mix is a remix we made with Gadi Mizrahi of the amazing Boston based band called Bad Rabbits. These guys make some serious throwback funk/rnb/new jack swing plus they are Slick Rick’s backing band so they’re def worth checking out. Their whole debut EP is available for free download over at Karmaloop and here we’re giving you our remix for free download. Enjoy! Bad Rabbits – She’s Bad (Gadi Mizrahi & Soul Clap Remix) DOWNLOAD
Till Von Sein is the master of arrogance. He’s gotta be our favorite German dude mostly because he rocks crispy white tee’s with catchy slogans on them for like maybe two or three uses tops and then throws them away. Plus whenever he’s buying sneakers, homeboy always cops two pair. I mean, if that ain’t keeping it REALLY real in Berlin, than we don’t even know.
In the studio, TVS (as the kids call him) was a force in 2009 putting out soulful and pop infused Berlin sounding tech house with colabs alongside fresh dudes like Catz ‘n Dogz, Tigerskin and Chopstick. So, what will 2010 hold for Tilly Jam? We’ve heard a taste of some new joints allegedly headed to Supplement Facts that are off the hook and if he get’s that track with the “Shanice” sample out of Reason he’d have another bomb! Soul Clap seal of approval, two thumbs up!
All around, Till is just one helluva guy and we’re proud to have him for our first podcast of the 10’s!!! Das da sheeet!
Tracklist:
Motorbass – Neptune
Frank West – We do
Tom Gray – Nobody Loves You
TVS & Chopstick – What Going On
Cazzo Dogz- Something Will Come Out
Alland Byallo – All Tuckered Out
That Crazy Kid From Lodz – Love Cant Turn Around
Stevie – I Can Play It (R2 Edit)
Lindness – Gee Up Edit
Talking Heads – Take Me To The River (Noodleman Edit)
This Sweet Love – Prins Thomas Edit

During our recent visit to the homeland Chicago to play Noe & Fred’s Souvenir party we finally got a chance to hang with Phillip Stone. Many of you may already have this guy’s stuff, just check your iTunes and search for “Phil Edit” or “Phil’s Dub”, that’s where we first saw his name. For year’s Phil has built a name for himself getting his super-DJ-friendly edits of new heat and classic cuts (which he makes with Audacity!!! go figure) into the right hands. Plus with advanced mixing skill, extraordinary programing ability and a slew of high profile DJ gigs opening for the big boys in his home town, it is commonly noted that Phil Stone is Chicago’s best DJ. We’re real pumped to have his contribution to the Adventures of Soul Clap Podcast and seems very fitting to have Phil close out one hell of an amazing year! Closer was a hoserrrrrr

It would be uncivilized to have a podcast from Phillip Stone without giving away one of his edits! So Happy Holidaze from Soul Clap and Phil, here’s a bomb for ya: Hot Chocolate – Cadillac (Phils Dub Edit) DOWNLOAD
2009 was without a doubt the year that Soul Clap’s edits and bootlegs got the worlds attention. It all started with a burning passion for classic pop music followed by a newfound obsession with Ableton LIVE. Soul Clap’s prior production techniques found them held hostage by Logic in an unbelievably slow moving world of “Core Audio Errors” and system crashes. I mean really, WTF? Who would have thought a $3,000 Dual Core Mac and software investment would lead to such misery? Sorry… had to vent, where were we… right…
This powerful combination of theory and method resulted in a slew of projects that would go on to shape the Soul Clap sound and with the support of the Brooklyn based megalith Wolf + Lamb as well as countless DJ’s around the globe, this force has bolstered a new trend in dance music.
The “RnB FreE.P.” is the first installment of Soul Clap’s free music series. This series will showcase unreleased, but dance-floor-tested material for free download on our website. This first release is a special thank you to our fans and supporters this holiday season. With an R ‘n B theme, the FreE.P. features reworks and remixes of famed Bostonian Bobby Brown’s late 80’s hit “Humpin Around”, fallen diva Aaliyah’s seductive “Rock The Boat” and 90’s Waco Texas based pop quintet Hi-Five’s Kissing Game all mastered by Gadi Mizrahi @ The Marcy Hotel.
Please note, this music is made out of a labor of love, but as we all know, love is really hard to eat. So, for those sympathetic to the art of starving there is a choice for optional donation. All proceeds will go to the making of more dope dance music by Soul Clap!
Sure has been awhile since we posted anything about Soul Clap releases, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy putting music out on both our label homes (Airdrop and Wolf + Lamb). Since we last posted about our MJ Edits EP on W+L in August, we’ve had our first all original artist EP “The Definition” released on Airdrop 12″ vinyl + digital. Then in October our second Wolf + Lamb Black 12″ vinyl release, the “Pop Edits” was sent out into the word. Next, mid-November our remixes of No Regular Play’s “Smiling Faces” & “Derecha” hit Beatport, with both breaking the deep house top 100 and Smiling peaking at #22. Finally, this week, our collaboration with Le Loup, “I Want You” was featured as a digital bonus on W+L’s Significant Others Too EP. For those of you paying attention, Baker Man Edit comes out on AUX 12″ vinyl this month and we’ve got loads more instore for 2010, so stay tuned!
Don’t forget, you can stream all our releases for free and find links to buy the full versions in Our Music section!
So a couple weeks ago we got a message from our website from someone named Leonardo Machado. He said something like “I’m 15 years old, from Venezuela and I have this mix and was hoping maybe you can podcast it”. We love our fans and the first 2 tracks were Wicked Game Edit and 3 Wheel E-Motion, so we said what the heck let’s give it a listen. Guess what, it was awesome. It’s taken us a little while to get our act together and post the episode and he’s updated the mix a bit, but we’re just super excited to have the chance to get an awesome mix out to you from a bonafide DJ prodigy. And to you Leonardo, we say, keep up the good work!
Mini Bio: “Leonardo begin to listen electronic music in 2007, when he feel atracted to the sets of Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Seth Troxler, Sascha Dive. In this year he was knowing others genres of electronic music like Minimal House, Nu House, and this year at the age of 15 years old he began to mix minimal music. He’s dream is being in a producer and found his own label. This podcast is influenced in Nu House and Deep house music From Venezuela.”

Another month, another silly Soul Clap interview. This time with UK based fashion/culture/music trendsetter Dazed Magazine’s digital edition. Read the whole thing here.
Somewhere along our last European tour we were in Berlin and our good friend Voitek (spelled Wojchiech, believe it our not) from 3 Channels aka Catz ‘n Dogz told us it was time to go to dinner. So to dinner we went, and when we got there we met Jay Shepheard. Jay is from the UK, but recently made the pilgrimage to Berlin along with so many others in search of dance music’s holy grail (which we think is actually somewhere in NYC!).
Jay is a kick ass DJ and solid producer with the bulk of his catalog on Munich’s Compost Records and Compost Black. Remix-wise he’s done work for Buzzin’ Fly, Four:Twenty, Dirt Crew and Faze Action to name a few. But that’s not really the point, the point is that after drinking many very tall beers and talking plenty of shit, we went back to Jay’s place (conveniently located across the street from the Neo-Nazi’s) to skin up and talk some more shit. While shit-talking, Jay put on this mix he recorded LIVE and we were like, ROCKINNNNN! So, away we go…

The final installment of this 3 part podcast series brings us into the peak time Pop vibes of our DJ set at Emmanuel’s Party Bucket in Leeds, UK. We’d been gigging all weekend at this point beginning Friday night at Watergate in Berlin and then Saturday in the depths of Dalston (London), so as you can imagine the energy was through the roof sexy.
Big shout out again to the London/Leeds massive for being top notch hosts during our last tour and the endless musical support!
