EcoSystemS - EP by Soul Clap

Soul Clap return on Soul Clap Records with their ‘EcoSystemS’ EP, a four-track offering of expertly crafted R&B-tinged electronic music for a better tomorrow.

Landing via the label on 22nd March, the EP ushers in the arrival of the duo's latest musical project and ecologically sustainable tour, with the Soul Clap Records founders once again aiming to pave the way whilst exploring how electronic music can be a force for regeneration.

Essential voices, positioned at the heart of the US house landscape, continually pushing the scene and its pre-existing boundaries forward both musically, and with their ecological and social initiatives and approaches, Charles Levine and Eli Goldstein, aka Soul Clap, are entering into one of their most exciting musical periods to date. Heading up their ever-essential Soul Clap Records imprint while welcoming projects such as their The Soul Clap Band and contributions to legendary mix series including DJ Kicks and fabric over the years, the duo’s expansive catalogue is once again in evolution as we enter another year and a fresh chapter of the Soul Clap journey.

"Our latest project, €¢¤ $¥$₸€₼$ (EcoSystemS), is a celebration of the organisms that make up our musical world. An exploration of how we connect through music to build community, create inspiration and heal our hearts and souls. It's an exploration of how we attach to the spaces where we come together, and how we interact with the environments that we live in. Consisting of a new EP alongside a tour that builds on our Conscious Clubbing ethos of diversity, safety and sustainability. €¢¤ $¥$₸€₼$ is an exploration of how electronic music can be a force for regeneration.” - Soul Clap.

Musical energy enters the €¢¤ $¥$₸€₼$ via a one-night ‘Extravaganza’ fed by the nutrient cycle of Soul Clap’s classic 2010 edit. It blossoms into a fresh cover version of the Jamie Foxx original, featuring LA-based vocalist and producer, Life On Planets. By feeding on plants and organic matter, we all play an important role in the movement of matter and energy. ‘Something In My Heart’ - a cover of the overlooked classic by 1980’s West Coast R&B star Michel’le - features vocalist Ebony Houston on a search for the passion of that reciprocal exchange. What we give and take from our ecosystems also influences the quality and quantity of the system. ‘Rick Fredkin’, once again featuring Life On Planets, asks why 1% of humans – who are actually 0.0001% of all earth’s organisms – are allowed to exploit most of the planet’s resources, damaging the quality and quantity of life for the other 99.9999%. Finally, ‘Keep Reaching’ features three more cousins from the petri dish of Soul Clap microbial biology: Choosy Lover, Saucy Lady & Greg Paulus. This jam digs deeper into the soil, breaking down organic matter and releasing carbon back into the atmosphere, facilitating the nutrient cycling that goes On and On and On...
Ec·o·sys·tem /ˈēkōˌsistəm/ (noun) – a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.
