In the last five years, there has been the emergence of a new sound
in dance music, one that places more emphasis on Latin, African and
jazz elements than straight 4/4 beats. This global dance movement
can in many ways be traced to Joe Claussell, perhaps the most
significant figure to arrive on the scene since the Masters at
Work. As a DJ, record store owner, label executive and artist he's
been intricately involved with all aspects of music, giving him a
unique perspective that's allowed him to avoid the pitfalls of so
many pioneers.
Joaquin Claussell was born and raised in a music loving household
in New York City. As a child he was exposed to a wide variety of
sounds, establishing a diverse frame of reference that would
forever shape his tastes.
He landed a production credit for a track in the 80s but refrained
from making himself a full time musician, choosing instead to focus
on outside (and more financially consistent) ventures.
An opportunity to assume ownership of the well-loved Dance Tracks
record shop provided him with an avenue to get a bird's eye view of
the music industry. From this vantage point, Claussell was able
to obtain information from the consumer (which tracks sold, dealing
with requests, etc.) and the business (distribution, promotions,
contacting label reps) spectrums. The knowledge he gained
encouraged him to set up the Spiritual Life Music label in 1995.
As atmospheric and organic releases from Blaze ("Stubborn
Problems"), Mateo and Matos ("Mixed Moods") and Lucho ("Symbols of
Life") met with success, Claussell got back into the studio for the
first time in years. To date, the most fondly remembered Spiritual
Life record is probably "The Prayer," recorded by the Haitian
musician Jepthe Guillaume and produced by Joe. Its beauty is
stunning.
Unsurprisingly, Spiritual Life was quickly proclaimed as an
alternative to the soulless and abrasive house sound that was
dominating the scene. To keep from overloading the label with
music, he aligned himself with the similarly-intentioned Ibadan,
for whom he produced some remixes of Ten City's back catalog.
Around this time, he began to plan a weekly club series entitled
Body and Soul. The objective was clear: to play quality music in a
supportive atmosphere. In a brilliant move, B & S was to be held
on Sunday afternoon, virtually ensuring a crowd with expectations
other than scoring the next bump, pill, or sexual partner.
With fellow music historians Danny Krivit and the legendary
Francois K also working the decks, the night was soon THE buzz
around New York. Patrons were likely to hear Michael Watford, Fela
Kuti, Pharoah Sanders and Carl Bean during the evening, meaning
Body and Soul was educational as well as inspirational. As its
popularity grew, so did Claussell's profile. Today, Body and Soul
is widely considered the spiritual successor to the Paradise
Garage, with Claussell as its Larry Levan.
Overall, his impact is obvious. The sudden increase in live and
African-oriented house is hard to imagine without Spiritual Life
proving there was an audience for meaningful, enriching music.
Jazzanova, Masters at Work and entire sections of the German and
French scenes have picked up on Claussell's groove. Magazines and
the record industry try to increase sales of a tune by hyping it as
a "Body and Soul record." It all adds up to a staggering number of
achievements for someone whose career is still in its prime.
