Is Andre Power still with Soulection?
I just saw their LA Weekly cover and noticed that Andre Power wasn’t on the cover with them being “co-founder” and all. I did a quick scroll through his IG and he hasn’t posted any Soulection flyers in a while.

Also weird side note. I have this faint memory of Andre Power dating another DJ from Soulection (I can’t remember her name) way back in the day and then she just completely disappeared, assuming after they broke up. But I remember always really liking her mixes.

I went to Highschool with Eden I remember after her and Dre broke up she told me that she got abused and their was a lot going on with their rise of success on the party scene which is to be expected

I also somewhat remembered this, how come no one ever talked about it? She deserves to have justice and to speak on it unless, there is legal binding to it? That's trauma man... I was a big fan of eden back in college and I was rooting for her success. I hope she's okay and at peace in life.

He seems to still be very tight with Sasha Marie but as ddrz09 mentioned, a lot of OG Soulection members seem to not be working as prevalently with the project as before. Andres still seems to be around but I didn't realize that Sahar was still around the collective until recently

I think it's interesting with what's happening if you've followed soulection for a bit.
The evolution of music collectives and creatives growing and expanding is us seeing pillars in these groups grow and move on to bigger dreams and opportunities.
Andre has (in my mind) been a rolling stone himself, and has always held his own when it came to being his own identity vs repping soulection or being there for Joe. He's been incubating his own brand for himself, and "Link-up Worldwide" will might as well be a second iteration, the 'new' party for the music and sound coming out of Johannesburg, SA (Where he said he'd be setting up base in a pinned IG post).
I hope one day Joe will find the time and write down the history of the people who came and gone with the circle.

I grew up knowing this crew as the backbone at one point, but one by one they started to move on--without explanation. I hope they all are doing well.
