SOUNDTRACK SOUL Episode 17 features one of LA's finest, special guest DJ CLIFTON aka Clifton Weaver (aka DJ Soft Touch). Clifton serves up an exclusive master class in psychedelic soundtrack selections...sixty sensational minutes of sixties and seventies psychedelic rock and soul film and TV tracks from Roy Budd, Lalo Schifrin, Peter Cook, Isaac Hayes, Alan Price, George Harrison, Ike & Tina, Serge Gainsbourg, a rarity from PBS's classic children's show "The Electric Company," and more!
One of the most sought-after selectors in California nightlife Clifton’s deep roots in Los Angeles’ soul community and superb taste in everything from funk to Bollywood, Afrobeat to ‘60s go-go and Britpop, have landed him gigs opening for Daptone Records legends such as Charles Bradley at The Getty, and setting the scene for Mayer Hawthorne, Adrian Younge, and Stones Throw’s Peanut Butter Wolf.
As a member of Love Grenades, Clifton opened for Janelle Monae and another one of his bands, The Mercury Wheel, was backed by Nolan Porter. His most recent music project, The Violent Mindfield, released their new LP on the French label Disques Rogue.
Catch Clifton at any of his regular DJ gigs around Los Angeles, Tuesdays at The Edmon in Hollywood, Saturdays at The Fable in Eagle Rock, and the monthly Soul Shakedown at Zebulon.
