Soul Clap's Youtube playlist of 90s house jams

Soul Clap are Boston Djing pair Eli Goldstein and Charles Levine. Affiliated with the New York Wolf+Lamb label, their take on house music is slow, understated and sensual, moving with the insistent slickness of West Coast hip hop, the softness of R&B, all pulled down in to the trenches of deep house. They’re known for their YoYoYo ’90s jam warehouse parties, so before they play London this weekend, they offered up a quick guide to their favourite tunes of that era.

De La Soul – A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturdays (Mo Mo Dub)

David Morales at his 90’s piano house best.

Soul II Soul – Pleasure Dome (Booker T Dub)

UK garage classic that keeps it deep in all the right ways.

Heller ‘N’ Farley Project – Ultra Flava

One of the jams that defined progressive house, it perfectly toes the line between tough and smooth.

De’Lacy – Hideaway (Deep Dish Mix)

Ooooh that vocal, plus Deep Dish at their handbag house finest just can’t be beat.

Mr Fingers – Closer (The deep downbasement mix)

Beautiful early morning deepness from the inventor of it. Get your art dance on.

Vanessa Williams – Work To Do (MAW Choice Club Mix)

At a time when the lines between house and r+b were much more blurry, Masters at Work bridged the gap like no one else.

Rosie Gaines – Close Than Close

Another UK anthem. Guaranteed lady pleaser and goose bumps all around.

Lovestation – Teardrops

While its impossible to beat the Womack + Womack original, Lovestation managed to give it the perfect rave twist.

Don Carlos – Alone

One of our favorite house records to ever come out of Italy, it’s so perfectly Balearic to wash over you when the sun comes up.

The Fog – Been A Long Time

An absolute classic 90’s vocal it’s also some of the best work from Miami’s legendary MURK duo.

Soul Clap will play Soul Clap’s Yoyoyo 90’s Rave Jam 2 on 20th August 2011
