What is Soul Clap? According to party founder and Nocturnal Sound Krew (NSK) member Steven “ESKAE” Kanemoto, Soul Clap is simply about “making people dance to music they never realized they liked.”
What started as a random, Friday-night party has exploded into Honolulu’s go-to event for ground breaking dance music and the best in classic party music. Over the last 2 years ESKAE and Soul Clap DJs – and fellow NSK members – Jami and Compose have redefined what is considered club music and how it’s played. “Our philosophy is that a DJ should be able to play any music genre without losing a single person on the dance floor,” says Jami referring to Soul Clap’s mix of Hip Hop, Soul, Electro, 80’s and party classics.
Soul Clap has received numerous praises and recognition from the Honolulu Star Bulletin, Midweek, SMART magazine, Honolulu Nightlife Diaries and other media outlets. The Honolulu Advertiser has referred to Soul Clap as, “the club equivalent of an eclectic, well-stocked iPod on party shuffle mode for five hours,”
Soul Clap happens every last Friday of the month at Thirtyninehotel in the heart of downtown Honolulu.
