Soulection

Soulection has one of the world’s largest weekly radio audiences, reaching millions in over 100 countries in the world via its show on Apple Music’s Beats1 radio (the world’s biggest radio station) and half a million followers on soundcloud. Soulection has taken the world by storm and is on the cusp of being a household name. Artists that have climbed through the Soulection ranks include the likes of Kaytranada, Mr. Carmack, Ta-ku, Sango, Esta, Evil Needle and IAMNOBODI. They are supported by the likes of Red Bull (Music Academy), Boiler Room, Puma, Vice Magazine, Afropunk, Okayplayer and Forbes.

Evil Needle 

Starting in the early 2000s, this French and German DJ rapidly mutated into a prolific Beatmaker. His melodic, dreamlike sound bridges the gap between feel good Sunday Soul and energetic modern bass. Inspired by diverse influences (including the likes of Bicasso, Wu-Tang Clan and Pharcyde) his finely chiselled productions are completely unique, resulting in a lofty and ambient downtempo feel that is permeated by deep grooves, lyrical synthesizer sections, delicate dilla-esque beats and slow-building epic strings. His diversity shines through his numerous collaborations with the likes of Mr Carmack, Troyboi and Sivey.

Joe Kay

Joe Kay is the CEO and Co-Founder of Soulection. He is head of A&R, host of Soulection Radio and an active DJ in the worldwide music community. Joe is a visionary and is committed to increasing visibility for music and educating the public through the weekly 2-hour Soulection radio broadcast on Apple music and Beats 1. As go-to musical tastemakers Joe and Soulection have received support from big names such as BBC Billboard, Forbes, LA Times, Redbull, Rolling Stone and many more.

The Whooligan

The Whooligan is Soulection’s Director of Worldwide Bookings and Partnerships. He has been DJing to large audiences for over 15 years. A global citizen – with previous residencies in San Francisco and Los Angeles, he now lives in Brooklyn, New York. As a seasoned artist, lover of music and event curator, he brings a unique perspective to the label through his passion, open-mindedness and inherent positivity. He is a multifaceted and genre-bending DJ, and consistently shares the stage with the likes of De La Soul, Little Dragon, The Internet, Vince Staples, Mac Miller, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Craze, J. Rocc, Pete Rock as well as every member on the Soulection roster.
