Soulchild are a British remix and production duo, consisting of Damien Mendis and Stuart Bradbury.
History
[edit]Before the duo came together, both Mendis and Bradbury had been producing since the mid-1990s.[1][2] As Soulchild, the duo have produced and remixed tracks for many artists, including Kelly Rowland, Gorillaz, Electric Six, Sugababes, Glamma Kid, Byron Stingily, Wheatus, Lamb, Soft Cell, Brandy, Delta Goodrem, Bent and OPM.[3][4]
Their remix of Gorillaz's "19-2000" appeared in a variety of media, including a TV commercial for Ice Breakers, as well as the title theme for the video game FIFA Football 2002.[5][6][7] The remix samples "The Humpty Dance" by Digital Underground (which itself samples the drum break of "Sing a Simple Song" by Sly and the Family Stone), as well as "Soul Power 74" by Maceo & the Macks.[8] The remix appears as a bonus track on Gorillaz' debut album, and as the first track on G Sides, as well as on The Singles Collection 2001–2011. It also appears on the various artists compilation Now Dance 2002.
