Smokers Delight ft. PillowTalk & Soul Clap
To understand the full capacity of all that is Crew Love, one must understand how intertwined and deep it all really runs. What started as an idea between Wolf + Lamb & Soul Clap and their respective backing labels, has steadily blossomed into one of dance music’s hottest and most recognizable collectives featuring 11 acts, totaling 17 members. After a mini-tour this past Summer, which we got to catch a piece of in Denver back in August, Soul Clap and Wolf + Lamb’s Crew Love collective will release their first collaborative album in early 2016: Based On A True Story, and with the accompanying announcement have also dropped the long-player’s first single “Smokers Delight”. The hazy, funkified debut single is perfect foreshadowing for what we hope to hear from Based on a True Story, combining a very addictive fusion of classic house and classic disco sensibilities with the contemporary edge and swag we’ve become accustomed to from every involved act. “Smoker’s Delight” draws together elements of rap, R&B and the crew’s signature good-time funk on top of those aforementioned dance structures, which results in a tune that you’ll be hard-pressed to shake for at least a few days after first consumption.
Based On A True Story will see release via freshly minted label counterpart Crew Love Records along with the backing support of legendary dance institution !K7, and we’re having a hard time containing our collective excitement towards what will no doubt be one of the hottest dance properties in 2016. Check out the entire track list for Crew Love’s impending debut LP which features 11 track contributions from all 17 members of the US outfit including PillowTalk, Life on Planets, Tanner Ross, No Regular Play, Slow Hands and Nick Monaco; spanning between a mix of solo efforts and collaborative entries. The love-gang has also confirmed they’ll be hitting the road again in summer 2016, though no tour dates have been announced as of yet. But, you can bet we’ll be on top of every single leading up to Based On A True Story‘s anticipated release. Until then, listen to “Smoker’s Delight” above.
