We’re big fans of the Soul Clap boys, so much so that we had them give us their definitive tour of their Beantown home in our Coordinates: Boston series (check it out, its hilarious). Well the duo of Elyte (Eli Goldstein) and Cnyce (Charles Levine) are celebrating the release of their debut album EFUNK (out now on Wolf + Lamb) and the accompanying tour is hitting Los Angeles this Saturday night. This ain’t no bottle service/velvet rope hair gel bullshit — Soul Clap is real soul disco funk, the type of stuff that motivates people to stay up till the sun comes up in a smokey room, smiling blissfully with a drink swishing in their hands. The guys grew up listening to the R&B of New Edition and MJ, which you’ll hear permeating their modern house stylings. Peep their “Clapping Song” Video if you need an idea — it’s a good time. If you want to hear more, check out the Soundcloud stream below of an assembly of their tracks and remixes, or go HERE to hear the EFUNK album in full. No low-res stuff, this is the real rip straight from the 45 minute vinyl. Go HERE to buy tickets for this weekend’s show at an undisclosed secret downtown location, and pick up their EFUNK album now at iTunes.
