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.

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
― flopson, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 16:45 (thirteen years ago) link
this is a really good point actually...and the way they've created a way for things to be mixed together again.

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

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.
― ha ha ha ha jack my swag (boxedjoy), Sunday, 8 May 2011 22:31 (thirteen years ago) link
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
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Monday, 9 May 2011 03:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, it's a pre-drinking staple for me now
― Number None, Monday, 9 May 2011 11:08 (thirteen years ago) link
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
― erschloraque, Monday, 9 May 2011 13:50 (thirteen years ago) link
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!
― I DIED, Monday, 9 May 2011 16:57 (thirteen years ago) link
thanks!
― avinha, Monday, 9 May 2011 19:11 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― Michael_Pemulis, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 02:21 (thirteen years ago) link
thanks for the recs guys!
― just sayin, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 08:57 (thirteen years ago) link
that Marcy 5 Yr mix sounds pretty shit as far as encoding/quality goes. is there a better copy than the one posted above?
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 17:44 (thirteen years ago) link
really like that warpaint remix from the essential mix
― just sayin, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 20:37 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― ha ha ha ha jack my swag (boxedjoy), Wednesday, 11 May 2011 21:26 (thirteen years ago) link
The Nightplane track on the Social Experiment mix ("Parallel Lines") sounds awesome in that context. As does Benoit & Sergio's "Principles".
― Tim F, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 22:57 (thirteen years ago) link
yea sr8 2 ur heart is great!

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― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Tuesday, 12 April 2011 20:32 (1 month ago) Bookmark

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)

only just got this (the mixed version i mean) and its really great, definitely seems like i prefer soul clap to wolf + lamb
― just sayin, Friday, 27 May 2011 13:23 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 26 February 2012 14:23 (twelve years ago) link
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
― lex pretend, Sunday, 26 February 2012 16:06 (twelve years ago) link
i have to hear this, i really like the idea of soul clap making a divisive pop opus
― psychgawsple, Monday, 27 February 2012 07:17 (twelve years ago) link
not pop enough for that :(
― lex pretend, Monday, 27 February 2012 08:17 (twelve years ago) link
seems like a far cry from the wolf + lamb album tho, right?
― psychgawsple, Monday, 27 February 2012 08:19 (twelve years ago) link
you mean the w+l dj kicks? i haven't listened to that since this time last year and it didn't leave a huge impression on me
