"All change, all change", the 'Love Train' has been given a bright new coat of paint and got some new drivers (remixers) to drive Soul Clap records into their 100th release - so it's "all aboard" for some timeless and forward-thinking dance music!
It's the welcome return of the power anthem that dropped 10 years ago – ‘Love Train’. A decade after its first departure, ‘Love Train’ rolls back onto the global dance music map revitalized, reimagined, and ready for a new generation. To mark the 100th release on Soul Clap Records, PillowTalk & Soul Clap reunite featuring Greg Paulus with a special anniversary remix package that honours the original’s spirit while pushing its groove into bold new territory.
Originally crafted by artists whose histories span the full spectrum of electronic soul, ‘Love Train’ remains a testament to collaboration. PillowTalk, the genre blending band known for fusing R&B, boogie, disco, and underground house, bring their signature warmth and melodic charm. Soul Clap, forever traveling through time and space in search of funk’s future, channel their deep lineage of house, soul, and cosmic dancefloor storytelling. And New York’s Greg Paulus, the trumpet playing producer whose journey has crossed jazz, hip hop, indie, and underground club culture, adds his unmistakable musicality and emotional depth.
For this Anniversary Edition, there are new interpretations that breathe fresh new life into the classic anthem. Louie Vega, one of global dance music’s most influential figures, delivers a full vocal remix steeped in his soulful house palette: lush, warm, and timeless. Soul Clap’s Anniversary Remix pushes the track forward with pulsing synth layers, percussive stabs, and whistles that ride alongside Paulus’s punchy horn lines, creating a future facing version that still honours the original’s Crew Love roots. This remix marks the first production where Charles Levine leads the future musical direction of the Soul Clap project.
Amsterdam duo Makèz, whose rise from teenage enthusiasts to international artists has been marked by instinctive musicality and global club impact, contribute the swung out, rough and tough ‘Love Dub’. Their retro futurist touch adds grit, swagger, and dance floor urgency. Lil 'T’s (Mikey Tello of PillowTalk) remix is bassline driven, deep in the underground, clean and cutting yet nasty. At the same time as he adds his own and new baritone vocal rendition of the original vox. You’ll find bonus tracks in the digital package for your audio pleasure including the Makèz Main Remix, Louie Vega’s Extended & Beats, a Soul Clap Percapella and further instrumentals from Lil 'T and Soul Clap.
Together, these versions form a celebratory package that reflects the past, present, and future of Soul Clap Records. ‘Love Train’ remains a symbol of community, collaboration, and the joyful, genre blurring spirit that has defined the label since its inception. Arriving as Soul Clap Records’ 100th release, it is firm proof that the Soul Clap journey continues, and the sonic groove quest never stops.
Blow that whistle!
