SOUL CLAP

Title: EFUNK Author: James Lawrence Label: WOLF + LAMB Rating: 3 Summary: Following a volley of singles and comps dating back to ’08, Charles Levine and Eli Goldstein finally deliver their debut album

Whereas public interest pretty much died overnight for The Darkness, Brooklyn’s Beastie Boys are one of the few acts who came to fruition playing the jokers in the pack but who then stood the test of time. In a much less extreme vein – and now clearly having the last laugh by moving to Miami – Soul Clap have come to notoriety with a similar tongue-in-cheek swag and swagger.

Santigold has said she wishes the dance music sound wasn't as popular as it is now, mainly because the dance tracks that are making it into the charts are formulaic, and we're "geting the exact same song every time."

She says: "Artists hire one of three producers, one of a couple songwriters, and you pretty much get the exact same song every time.”

Category: News Summary: In a recent interview with <em>Mixmag</em>, Rusko has said the Skrillex produced Korn album makes him "laugh so hard."

In a recent interview with Mixmag, Rusko has said the Skrillex produced Korn album makes him "laugh so hard." And said, "So much of dubstep just sounds angry. Why dance to angry music?”

“There was a time when there were bro-ed up dudes in the audience and they wanted to hear the most disgusting distorted heavy metal stuff,” he says, referring to the more aggro style of dubstep created by the likes of Skrillex (who credits a Rusko show at Avalon in LA as inspiring him to enter the genre). “That’s just simply not what I do. I just do happiness, vibes and bounciness.”
