Soul Clap @ Subculture, 4 Sep

With their re-edit of Jamie Foxx’s Extravaganza one of the summer's biggest club hits, Soul Clap’s appearance at the Sub seems primed for maximum impact.

First meeting as 90s ravers, the Bostonian duo of Eli Goldstein and Charlie Goldsmith joined forces as a DJ and production-pairing in the early noughties; their initial artistic were forays heavily influenced by New York house, R&B and hip-hop.

Inspired by the sounds of 80s funk and electro as well as US West Coast hip-hop, they've since cultivated their own 'Efunk' sound, injecting productions, remixes and re-edits with the kind of super-elasticated basslines that make dancefloor booty-shaking an irrepressible compulsion.

Aside from output on Airdrop, Double Standard, Crosstown Rebels and Wolf + Lamb, Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac and Womack and Womack are just some of the artists who've enjoyed the Soul Clap touch, while amazingly enough the pair still fit in time to run a music consultancy business and a podcast series.
