Soulection is a groundbreaking music collective and independent platform based in Los Angeles, co-founded by Joe Kay and Andre Power in 2011. Initially conceived as a blog and podcast, Soulection quickly evolved into a vibrant community that champions progressive music across various genres. The launch of their radio show, “Soulection Radio,” marked a significant milestone, garnering over 5,000 downloads on its first day and establishing the collective as a tastemaker in the music industry.

In 2015, Soulection expanded its reach by partnering with Apple Music to broadcast on Beats 1 Radio, further solidifying its influence in the music scene. The show has since celebrated over 500 episodes, showcasing a diverse array of artists and sounds that embody the collective’s ethos of genre-blending and cultural inclusivity. This partnership has allowed Soulection to connect with a global audience, promoting emerging talent and innovative music.

As an independent music label, Soulection has released an impressive catalog of over 78 records, collaborating with notable artists such as Sango, GoldLink, and Tom Misch. Their commitment to nurturing talent is evident in their diverse roster, which spans various musical styles and backgrounds, contributing to the collective’s reputation as a leader in music discovery.

Beyond music, Soulection has created immersive experiences through events like “The Sound of Tomorrow” and the “Soulection Experience” festival. These events not only celebrate music but also foster community engagement, making Soulection a pivotal force in the contemporary music landscape.
