Wolf and Lamb

also love that whenever i've seen them play they look like they are truly having the time of their lives behind the decks.

i love this music a lot

thats cuz its dope

That 5 years at the Marcy mix is pretty sweet

haha 'imaginary player' -- one of my fav rap beats

soul clap have a whole podcast series on their website that i intend to check out:

u guys should check out the deniz kurtel album - it's on crosstown rebels but she came up with the wolf + lamb guys and is still a close associate. also it's great

i love the concept of "sade house"!

(though really i love the concept of sade anything so)

Bits of the DJ Kicks mix really remind me of 2006ish Get Physical but filtered through a post-Balearic horizontal afternoon drinking in the sunshine vibe.

wow they play spottieottiedopalicious! i have a beats in space but i am v impressed by that.

deniz kurtel albunm is very nice. only recently realised she's a she!

ok 'the l word' is ridiculous

^^

had The L Word on repeat (from the Social Experiment mix) in the car today, fantastic.

been listening to so much of their dj kicks & nicolas jaar singles from last year was loading up on wolf + lamb releases & noticed matos reviewed most of their stuff for ra does he still hang out here ever

this is a really good point actually...and the way they've created a way for things to be mixed together again.

Seeing w+l/soul clap tomorrow night!

so annoyed i still havent seen these dudes, they seem to play in london all the time

Great set at U St last night.

Yes they were pretty fantastic - I think we recorded the whole 4+ hours.

ysi?

On BIS this week

what other wolf + lamb related mixes are ppl really into? already know the soul clap resident advisor one (and love it)

http://soundcloud.com/r_co/soul-clap-essential-mix-05-03

Lots of fresh sounding DJ-Kicksy material rubbing up against Glass Candy, Depeche Mode and Madlib, amongst others.

Also just spent a good hour browsing about Soul Clap's website/blog, they seem to have a lot of podcasts and whatnot that can be downloaded.

Not quite on the same path musically, but they've done this amazing mix to promote a night they did a few months ago, based on 90s house sounds and just on the right side of cheesy. There's a Tuff Jam remix of Coolio (!) which sounds absolutely vicious in this context.

i've been getting a lot of good mileage out of the 5 years at the marcy mix since it came out... it's a hell of a lot of fun

Yeah, it's a pre-drinking staple for me now

I was at the U Street show too, they always seem to have such a great time playing! Please let us know when you up that recording

Whe recording came out well from a technical standpoint, now we've got to edit it and get their approval before sending it into the wild. I'll post it here if & when we do!

thanks!

They put out their own podcast (Wolf and Lamb radio) where they sporadically put out mixes or live sets from people on the label. I think my fave is an old one Zev live at the Bunker which was one of my intros to them. Totally worth checking out.

thanks for the recs guys!

that Marcy 5 Yr mix sounds pretty shit as far as encoding/quality goes. is there a better copy than the one posted above?

really like that warpaint remix from the essential mix

I know there's some talk of Night Plane over on the techno/house thread but it's definitely worth mentioning him as one to watch. "Str8 2 Ur Heart" is noir-Balearic excellence and his Soundcloud has a lot of promising stuff on it.

The Nightplane track on the Social Experiment mix ("Parallel Lines") sounds awesome in that context. As does Benoit & Sergio's "Principles".

yea sr8 2 ur heart is great!

this is up now btw

I really want Social Experiment 002 unmixed as well, just for the completist in me.

I don't see it mentioned upthread, but I may have mentioned in the Mark E,Revenge Slo Motion House thread last year, anyway The Soul Clap XLR8R mix from 2010 is still fully awesome:

glad to see more love for the dj kicks, the press reaction seems like it was generally positive but i definitely was expecting more of a reaction from the indie world a la nicolas jaar or james blake. which is a bummer because it is so much better than either of those records

My attempt to get the indie world listening to Soul Clap/W+L

srsly tho, I know the Ilx doesnt dig self-promotional and kinda off topic posts, but some of you W+L/SC DJ Kicks fans should be into this mix I made and I'd appreciate any listens/feedback/love/hate to get me closer to trumping the chump that somehow has gained 2000+ plays for a (imho) pedestrian mix. Thanks!

(or just DL the slightly tighter version from sndcld and dont say anything; either way hope you enjoy)

the beats in space mix is great

really like the voices of black stuff...

Live was pretty crazy, the dj booth was as much a party as the dance floor

yeah totally!

only just got this (the mixed version i mean) and its really great, definitely seems like i prefer soul clap to wolf + lamb

If you've ever wanted to hear Mel Blatt from All Saints sing "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime" over a smooth piano-house track with percussion not disimilar to Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It", then the Soul Clap album is for you.

she's on another track too that i like better. the press release about how they met is kind of hilarious. i was mostly disappointed by the album though, kind of dry, punctuated by unfortunate wackiness

i have to hear this, i really like the idea of soul clap making a divisive pop opus

not pop enough for that :(

seems like a far cry from the wolf + lamb album tho, right?
