I love it and I know it's healing other people." explains Gina. With headlining the Sounds of Om World Tour beginning in March, releasing a number of extremely sought after remixes, Gina's voice blessing numerous 12" singles throughout the Om family, and smoking DJ club nights with Gabriel, Mei-Lwun, and Andy, the sky is the limit for Soulstice. It's exciting to open up the arena, for example, Mei-Lwun shares his poetic skills or I'd suggest a break beat." says Gina. Songwriting is the main focus and we have input where it used to be me writing the majority of lyrics/melodies. "The creative process that drives Soulstice, now 5 years later, is more disciplinary. "Using the electronic medium does not mean that the music can't be organic," explains Andy, "there is more to electronic music than beats and samples." As an American band in a widely European genre of dance music, Soulstice are pioneering the stateside convergence in the sophistication of electronic music. Five years in the making, Soulstice emerge as the driving force behind putting the music back into electronica. The debut album "Illusion" is a true collective work of art. I get the feeling that the whole band's lyrical ability to be so honest about the struggle of growing into adulthood really brings the listener in." describes Gina. "Like a lyrical journal, I lay out my experiences and melodies to connect to the present in our music. The song is king, it's all about the lyrics." says Andy. "We live and breathe our music, everything comes from us. From playing to a few hundred people at 111 Minna St to playing sold out shows at the 1200 capacity historic Fillmore Theatre, SF, Soulstice have come a long way in their musical journey. Soulstice continued to refine their sound with emotive song writing and detailed arrangements.

The chemistry between all of us was so obvious and it was such a natural high whenever we'd get together." reflects Gina.Īpproaching production from a collaborative standpoint, Soulstice often developed many of the sounds and ideas they used from the freestyle sessions they originally became known for. Making music with my brother was where I was supposed to be. "I knew the first time I worked on a track with Gabe that this was right. It wasn't till some time later that Soulstice finally materialized after collaboration between Andy and Gabriel in 1995. "The track was cool," says Gabriel, "but Mei-Lwun and I couldn't rap." They asked little sister Gina to give it a try, and the rest is history. In 1989 Gabriel and Mei-Lwun were working on a hip-hop track in the Rene family studio. Stateside, their debut album "Illusion" has garnered radio support, from Jason Bentley & Kevin Lincoln, making Soulstice one of KCRW's most requested artists. They have released a string of house / drum and bass classics, including "Tenderly" & "Lovely."
