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:
