There’s evil abroad in the world of dance music and the Wolf + Lamb / Soul Clap Justice League are the last line of defence. This coalition of glitterball superheroes and 4am villains has come together to fight the forces of too dark, too loud dance music. The League’s mission statement: 'We want to bring the sexiness back to the dancefloor'. Growing up in America in the 80s and 90s all four producers were exposed to funk, disco, R&B and black music. The music that they’re now making is very much rooted in all of that, and also that other Stateside phenomenon, house music - W+L/SC grew up studying those artists. There’s a musical history there that they feel connected to, and incorporate into their productions.
Their DJ Kicks mix is diametrically opposed to the banging soul-less beats that have dominated the club scene for, well, far too long. A 27-track journey full of emotion and changes of tempo and mood, it ebbs and flows like a moonlit summer tide, from gorgeous downtempo grooves such as "Can’t See What Is Burning There" by Nicolas Jaar to the slinky disco-house of "South Aphrika" by Lee Curtiss. It has more in common with Metro Area or even a disco icon like David Mancuso than anything else. When !K7 approached the four of them to do a DJ Kicks mix, the initial idea was do it as Wolf + Lamb versus Soul Clap, but this expanded to a mix CD featuring everyone from the W+L / Soul Clap collective. The collective vibe is reflected in the fact that the entire mix is music from family and friends, with NINE exclusive tracks being released only on this mix: "Lonely C" by Soul Clap featuring Charles Levine is a special vocal track, really deep, but still catchy and emotional. SECT drop "In The Park" with vocals from Ben Westbeech.
The perfect way to emerge yourself in the new US sound of deep house music, this DJ Kicks mix continues K7!'s knack of coming up with mix CDs that capture the year's current zeitgeist moment. Essential.
