Soulclap taking it back to their Beantown roots! The prolific DJ/production duo of Charles Levine and Eli Goldstein put Boston back on the dance map and now with Dancing On The Charles (named after a series of outdoor parties they threw on the Charles river), Soulclap are showcasing the best of the local Boston scene. This is the 12" sampler for the album and features standout cuts from some relatively unknown artists as well as tried and true favorites. Check the smooth grooves of newcomer Mystery Roar's "Mayhem" and John Barera's "Wait For It" that take the vibe into the deep without losing the soul, while Soul Clap's own "I Want You Love" slows it down and heats it up. Also includes a sweet jazzy remix of Matthew Larkin Cassell's "Heaven" from Lab fave Kon and the homie Bosq.
