Can you believe that our last Soul Clap AirPod Episode dates back from a year ago! June 10th 2008! It was the recording of the release party for AD 002 – die Ente where the entire Boston family played, Soul Clap, Tanner Ross, Pat Fontes and Sergio! Eli had minus two tattoos on his body, Charlie looked like tweety, Tanner was already bald and Sergio, well a little less than now! Read the rest of this entry »

AIRDROP and MUSICAL MISSIONARY host the exclusive Miami showcase event for Berlin’s MAGNET MUSIK agency, Buenos Aires/ NYC based AIRDROP RECORDS, also receiving Brooklyn’s WOLF + LAMB label.

Airdrop Records is a hybrid creation that managed to unite the most talented producers North and South America has to offer, bringing forth an elegant conglomerate of eclectic electronic music releases that range between various forms of Techno and House. In the last two years, Airdrop has grown into a global network, a neuronal connection between local scenes, effectively connecting the most driving underground forces. Amongst them NYC’s Wolf & Lamb as well as Miami’s underground music advocate Musical Missionary.

Among the headlining talents are Berlin’s über-producers MY MY who will perform an exclusive live performance to give you a precise idea of the most stunning sounds around. Sets from amazing artists like BUTANE, LEE CURTISS, BILL PATRICK, LEE JONES and WILL SAUL can be sampled while the sun is kissing the water. And rounding out the diverse line-up are American dance music providers NIKOLA BAYTALA, W+L’s GADI MIZRAHI, CRAZY LARRY, LUNATIK, SOUL CLAP, PUNISHER, CONNIE, TANNER ROSS, and SERGIO SANTOS.

Last but definitely not least, you will be able to admire the crystalline sound of VOID AUDIO’s exclusive debut installation in the US on both decks! Amongst other notable projects, Void constructed the sound system of Fabric’s new club, Matter, in London.

Every element of this party has been tweaked for maximum pleasure – a diverse talent lineup playing on amazing sound systems in a beautiful outdoor atmosphere with no hassle or attitudes to deal with. Sometimes clichés work. This is one of them. You really don’t want to miss this party!

A – Puppy Crack (Original)
B1 – Puppy Crack (Mikael Stavöstrand Remix)
B2 – Beat The Puppy

Butane (alphahouse): “Mikael’s remix is cool! Will play!”

Pheek (Archipel): “Really like the remix”

Tim Xavier (Clink): “These are proper tracks! I will definitely play the Original Version out!

Kasper (Esperanza): “Mikael’s remix is my favourite”

Thomas Murphy (Circus Company): “The original mix is hell of a ride!!”

Andrés Zacco (Greener): “Thanks for this nice relase… I like the 3 tracks!!!”

Alland Byallo (Nightlight): “Great release! I love all three tracks. Another great Airdrop!”

Tim Green (Dirtybird): “9/10 Really love and will def play Mikael’s remix and Beat the Puppy.”

Derek Plaslaiko (Spectral): “You silly bastards ”

The Soul Clap boys from Boston who come up with the next AIRDROP outing, outdoing themselves every single time. It’s becoming increasingly hard to hammer them down to a certain sound or aesthetic as their thirst for innovation is just unquenchable! Just when you thought you kind of pigeon-holed the two crazy-ass house lovers who do not shy away from direct references and cheeky samples by labeling them somewhat discofunky deephouse techy, they strike back with a record that’s just way out. Unexplainable.

It all starts nice and steady with a tingly little percussive rhythm, but not without an opener that sets the scene: some weirdo looking for his “puppy crack” — drugs for dogs? Chillout choice of the night? Oh yeah. Snorts, klicking noises and space balls effects create the kind of tongue-in-cheek atmosphere that is typical for the likes of Soul Clap, as the humoristic DJ/ producer outfit does not even shy away to make turkey themed songs for Thanksgiving!

In all seriousness though: “Puppy Crack” is a potent dance drug and should immediately be banned to avoid further brain damage. Dripping into your drainage like some highly potent acid, the track breaks down into the wonkiest mayhem that clubbers’ ears have heard in a long time!

For those who like it darker, the ragged “Beat The Puppy” tool is the one! Not beating around the bush but rather beating the poor squelching animal, the track rages subliminally, gripping tight around the neck with a metallic beat that should have any old party dog wagging its tail rhythmically while the voice filters in causing uproar with its build-up.

Call in the ambulance and hope the doctor saving you when you overdose is Mikael Stavöstrand: he is just such a fine balancer and knows how to dose right: “Puppy Crack” becomes a deep entrancing affair with squelching noises and hypnotic synths that underline squeaking and clicking effects. Slowly the whole affair culminates in an evil addiction you did not even notice you developed!

Tiefschwarz was formed in 1996 by two brothers – Alexander and Sebastian Schwarz – who have been successful DJs for over a decade. Peter Hoff, who runs the Benztown studios in Stuttgart, completes the Tiefschwarz production team. Ali and Basti came up with the name for their project after a DJ gig. Tiefschwarz, which is German for ‘deep black’, is a mixture of their last name, Schwarz, and their love for deep house. Besides their work as resident DJs, Ali and Basti have been travelling together throughout Europe and overseas since 1995. They’ve played at countless major events and the most popular clubs in both Germany and Switzerland (Zürich, Geneva, Lausanne, Bern, Basel, etc.) as well as in major foreign cities, such as Miami (W.M.C.), New York, Washington, Melbourne, Sydney, Prague, Sarajevo, Amsterdam, Brussels, Antwerp, Rimini, Stockholm, London, Leeds, Sheffield, Ibiza, etc.

After six years of DJing and promoting, the two brothers began producing their own tracks. They co-founded the “continuemusics” label in 1996, on which their first single, “24 seven,” with remixes by Boris Dlugosh and Michi Lange, was released along with four other tracks.Tiefschwarz have remixed around 30 tracks for artists such as Ultra Naté, Byron Stingily, Jam & Spoon, Jennifer Paige, Randy Crawford, Master At Work, Earth Wind and Fire, Shakatak, Mousse T., AWA band, Whirlpool Prod., Sabrina Johnson and Sharon Philips. The name Tiefschwarz stands high alongside other legendary German acts such as Ian Pooley, Dixon, Jazzanova, Rainer Trüby, Ata and Vincenzo. As DJs, they have gained one of the greatest reputation on the international house scene and it is an honour for us to receive them Wednesday February 25th at the Phoenix Landing!
