"Using the electronic medium does not mean that the music can't be organic," explains Andy, "there is more to electronic music than beats and samples." As an American band in a widely European genre of dance music, Soulstice are pioneering the stateside convergence in the sophistication of electronic music. Five years in the making, Soulstice emerge as the driving force behind putting the music back into electronica. The debut album "Illusion" is a true collective work of art. I get the feeling that the whole band's lyrical ability to be so honest about the struggle of growing into adulthood really brings the listener in." describes Gina. "Like a lyrical journal, I lay out my experiences and melodies to connect to the present in our music. The song is king, it's all about the lyrics." says Andy. "We live and breathe our music, everything comes from us. From playing to a few hundred people at 111 Minna St to playing sold out shows at the 1200 capacity historic Fillmore Theatre, SF, Soulstice have come a long way in their musical journey. Soulstice continued to refine their sound with emotive song writing and detailed arrangements. The chemistry between all of us was so obvious and it was such a natural high whenever we'd get together." reflects Gina.Īpproaching production from a collaborative standpoint, Soulstice often developed many of the sounds and ideas they used from the freestyle sessions they originally became known for. Making music with my brother was where I was supposed to be. "I knew the first time I worked on a track with Gabe that this was right. It wasn't till some time later that Soulstice finally materialized after collaboration between Andy and Gabriel in 1995. "The track was cool," says Gabriel, "but Mei-Lwun and I couldn't rap." They asked little sister Gina to give it a try, and the rest is history. In 1989 Gabriel and Mei-Lwun were working on a hip-hop track in the Rene family studio. Stateside, their debut album "Illusion" has garnered radio support, from Jason Bentley & Kevin Lincoln, making Soulstice one of KCRW's most requested artists.
They have released a string of house / drum and bass classics, including "Tenderly" & "Lovely." Featuring remix work by Kevin Yost, Johnny Fiasco & Acetate - these 12"s have brought Soulstice into clubs worldwide, on the playlists of notable artists, such as Rainer Trüby, DJ Garth, Mark Farina & Q-Burns Abstract Message. 4) An a cappella ensemble comprised of students at McGill University in Montréal, Québec.ġ) A 'downtempo' / 'trip-hop' group, consisting of Andy Caldwell (keyboards), Gabriel Rene (keyboards), Mei-Lwun Yee (turntables) & Gina Rene (vocals). 3) A from Syracuse vegan straight edge band (early to mid '90's). 2) A Chicago native MC (half of Wade Waters & solo).
