Crew Love: Wolf + Lamb & Soul Clap

For those who like their dance music smooth as an Innocent Strawberry & Banana, who can’t be bothered with the abstract minimalism of German techno, the ferocious BPM of drum & bass, or dubstep’s reincarnation as a kind of heavy metal for our generation, Wolf + Lamb’s rise at the end of last decade was manna from heaven. For over a decade, the two New Yorkers have been producing the most casual, soulful and downright fun house music around; meanwhile, their eponymous label has been attracting a steady stream of like-minded producers (Nicolas Jaar, Soul Clap), many of whom will be filling out the set list at Showcase this Friday. Check the label’s 2011 ‘DJ-Kicks’ mix to get an idea of their cool downtempo sound.
