Soul Clap Mixtape Contest Winner
In the midst of their gargantuan DJ-Kicks World Tour with Wolf+Lamb, Soul Clap partnered up with Beatport and Mixcloud to put together a mixtape contest. Perhaps they needed some soothing sounds to ease their lonely hearts on all those plane rides? The turn-out was spectacular, with over 50 skilled selectors posting themed mixes for those times when words just aren’t enough.
With so many quality entries, the selection process ran a bit long, but in the end we all came to an agreement. Congrats to Davide from Sedma, whose winning mix incorporated everything from Chromeo covering The Eagles, to Michael Henderson, to Bill Cosby. Stream the winning mix below, and check out the top five finalists over at Soul Clap’s Mixcloud page.
We’d also like to send a valentine shout-out to all the DJs who channeled their feelings into these mixes, may your hearts not be lonely for long!

Soul Clap ‘Lonely C’ Video Contest Honorable Selections
So the Soul Clap ‘Lonely C’ video contest is one for the record books by now, but as we said about a million times, selecting even five top videos was no easy task. We were looking back through some of the other submissions we received, and wanted to share some more with you that we thought deserved some attention. As usual, these run the gamut from funny to moving, high concept to literal, and are all excellent and interesting interpretations of the music. A big thank you is due to all of the filmmakers who worked to share their vision.

Official Winning ‘Lonely C’ Video!! Directed By Dan Hellmann
Having shared four of the finalists in our music video contest for Soul Clap’s “Lonely C” over the past week, the quality of the work put into the submissions, and the variety therein continues to impress. Within the top five alone, we have videos from Russia, Korea via Ireland, and the group’s hometown of Boston. As we’ve said over and over, choosing a single winner proved exceedingly difficult, but we’re very pleased to share the grand prize winner for your enjoyment. A group effort shot in Vancouver, director Dan Hellmann’s video utilizes spontenaety, a beautiful cityscape, and creative costuming to capture the feeling of being alone, even when you’re surrounded by people. Congrats to Dan, and again to everyone who worked hard to share their vision inspired by the music. Read Dan’s account of putting the video together below.

‘Lonely C’ Video Finalist: Sergey Smykalov
Unique among the finalists for Soul Clap’s ‘Lonely C’ video contest, Moscow’s Sergey Smykalov assembled his piece completely from found footage. Stringing together vintage late 90′s footage shot in the only night club in a small Russian town, Smykalov weaves a story from the footage to match the lyrical content and feel of the track. There’s something a little bit unsettling about peeking into this world, but something satisfying as well. Read Sergey’s description below, and look for the winning video tomorrow!

Top 5 ‘Lonely C’ Video Countdown!
Several months ago, we announced a video contest for Soul Clap feat. Charles Levine’s track ‘Lonely C’ from the Soul Clap / Wolf + Lamb’s DJ-Kicks mix. The idea was that we’d get to interact with fans a bit, get to see some interesting interpretations of the track, and hopefully meet some exciting talent. And did we ever. So overwhelming was the quality of the submissions that it was almost impossible for the artists to narrow the videos down to one winner. So we’re cheating a bit, and counting down five of all of our favorite submissions. All of these could easily stand on their own as a video art piece, and each has a unique aesthetic and take on the track.
We’ll start things off with a video from NYC’s Jeremy Teicher & Jeremie Duval. Check out their amazing live action / animation video, and see below for more information on the directors. Look for the subsequent finalists on the DJ-Kicks blog this week, with the final winner announced next week. Major thanks to everyone who took the time to submit such quality work!

DJ-Kicks Q&A: Voices Of Black
Wolf + Lamb & Soul Clap roll deep, as it were. Their collaborative DJ-Kicks mix features no less than ten exclusive tracks, all comprised of material from their close-knit extended circle of friends and family. Leading up to the release of the mix, we decided to connect the dots, picking the brains of the talent behind the exclusive tracks on the mix. In this edition we spoke with Voices of Black, Providence, RI via Teaneck, NJ’s denizens of funk fazed beats with damaged soul to spare. Their track “Fridays With Her” features on the first EP of DJ-Kicks exclusives. Both EPs, as well as the full mix are out now. (Interview after the jump) Read more…
