San Francisco-based DJ/producer Nick Monaco has long been part of the Soul Clap family, releasing his first 12- on the label back in 2012. Mating Call, a double 12- set running at album length, is easily his most expansive release yet. It s typically eccentric, delivering a range of songs - featuring his own distinctive vocals - that blend numerous styles whilst retaining a loose, funky and altogether rather kaleidoscopic feel. It s rooted in Balearic pop, but also touches on dub, deep house, boogie, dub disco and a strangely deep and contemporary take on the triple-beat rhythms of glam rock. It s hard to accurately describe, but is really rather good, certainly, it s one of Soul Clap s strongest releases of recent times.
