Here on the Soul Clap blog we usually focus on music, but with Dixon closing with Adamski’s 90’s rave classic “Killer” (which had an amazing video) last night, one of the best viral videos campaigns we’ve ever seen taking place today and our participation in a massive audio/visual event this Friday night, we thought it would be fun to close out the day with some video pressure for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy

Adamsky ft. Seal – Killer

Well it sure has been awhile since we had one of our own mixes on our own podcast. You must be starting to think that we’re lazy or something. Well maybe we are and maybe we aren’t, but here is a new Soul Clap mix on the Adventures of Soul Clap Podcast! This one was originally the set we played at Marina Bay Beach Club when we opened up for Armand, but as usual our recorder screwed up and we lost everything So we went back to the studio and did the whole thing over again. Everyone other then Armand playing at the party was more on the loud electro side of music so we felt it was our duty to keep it nice and deep and housey, but still big and moody. I mean we were outside on the beach and the sun was setting. So hopefully as the weather starts to change you can put this one on in the headphones and feel all warm and sunsety again

Tracklist:
Hercules & Love Affair – Roar
Senor Coconut – Chocolatina (Mirco Violi Remix)
Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts – Sous L’Arbre
Anthony Collins – Rabouine House (Mikael Stavostrand Remix)
Stimming – Una Pena
MD III – Pressure Cooker (Pressure Moan Mix)
DJ T. – Outbreak
DJ Deeon – Work This M.F.
Ellen Allien – Out (Audion’s Out For Infants Mix)
Riva Starr – Maria (Dub Mix)
Ame, Henrik Schwarz, Dixon – D.P.O.M.B. (Version 1)
Je Davu – I Zebra (Raw Meat Techno Edit)

That’s Gurtz on the couch on the left…

If you missed these 2 at Midweek Techno last week, we’re sorry but as usual our recorder broke (whatever you do, don’t buy an M-Audio Micortrack II) and we don’t have a recording of the absolute mayhem that they created. Lucky for us (and you) Dilo & Gurtz came by the studio the day after and through down live sets on the Snack Pack Jack Attack. Yum

True wine snobs know that the real good stuff comes from France. True cigar aficionados know that there is nothing like product from Cuba. Sergio knows that the best smoke comes from the Humbodlt Valley, and while the best dance music hasn’t always come from Berlin, electronic music connoisseurs know that Dixon’s sound can only be classified as the finest German import.

Wednesday, September 24th Dixon will perform at Wednesday’s @ Phoenix Landing for a FIRST EVER Boston/Cambridge appearance. We are ecstatic about the show because Dixon is an extraordinarily rare act to book. The man, alongside Ame, behind Innervisions Recordings has stayed true to his deep roots, redefining the sound of contemporary European house music. He embodies the history of dance music and disco and (much like matty dimond!!!) is a master of DJ programming. Door will open at 9pm for this special night with a warm up from House/Techno trendsetter Sergio Santos. The cover is $10 all night. ALSO, THIS IS A 19+ EVENT.

Here are some mind blowing mixes that have had more run than Sergio’s dirty laundry:

UPDATE 9/17: Official minitek apology.

There’s no need for us to post a review of the minitek festival, which on the Soul Clap blog will forever be known as minirek. If you really want to know what went down, check out the Resident Advisor or Rhythmism forums, or for a more positive review check out Daily Session, who we have to thank for recording and posting all the live sets from the festival (unfortunately even this didn’t go smoothly). It’s not that we didn’t have a great time partying outside Saturday & Sunday at Coney Island or late night at Wolf + Lamb & Cheap Sunglasses @ Cielo, it’s just that our homie Henry from AirDrop was (I think) the only full-time staff that the minimoo crew hired to help with the festival, before disappearing/hiding/? for the whole weekend, and after all the stress and responsibility ended up on his shoulders and nearly gave him a nervous breakdown, it’s pretty hard for me look at the festival in a positive light. Either way, there were some great moments, but the best by far for me was Francois K’s set to close out the festival on Sunday. After 2 days of top international talent taking center stage, one of New York’s long-time innovators took the decks (and mic) and proudly reminded the crowd that while “everyone is talking about Berlin, let’s not forget Detroit!” Francois then proceeded to take us on a life-changing journey, capped off with storm sound efx that literally ushered in a cool breeze, and a modern twist on the classic MLK, I Have A Dream sample that replaced Dr. King’s voice with Obama’s and had everyone’s hands way in the air. Now all you loyal readers are lucky enough to get the highlight of minirek without paying top dollar and dealing with all the bullshit. Enjoy!

Gurtz is a master of sound and texture and he’s rocked his crazy live sets all over the world. If you don’t know about these guys production work you need to open your ears right away! They’ve remixed been remixed by artists like Ryan Crosson, Seph, Dapayk, Dandy Jack, Franco Cinelli, Funzion, Easy Changes, Barem, (a)pendics.shuffle & Agaric and now you can hear these amazing lads for yourself

What do the best afterhours parties at WMC & Detroit Techno Fest and this weekend’s minitek festival have in common? Well, besides the obvious, the answer is Cheap Sunglasses and Temporary Tattoos aka the series of parties that our friends at Blk|Market Membership and Udder Maddness have been throwing at this year’s top US techno festivals. The theme for the minitek edition of Cheap Sunglasses is “Call In Sick To Work”, which is what we all will no doubt be doing after caping the weekend off with exclusive sets by Baby Ford and Mathias Tanzmann on one of NYC’s best sound systems (the Funktion One monster) at the heavenly Cielo. These parties are renowned for top quality music, great people, silly props and utter debaucherousness so make sure to get your pre-sale tickets (before they sell out like they have for the last 2) and come join the fun this Sunday.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot… here’s a little treat from Detroit’s Temporary Tattoo party to get you in the mood. I’ve been meaning to post this for awhile and this was the perfect opportunity
