Soulstice is a downtempo/electronic soul band that is a part of the US based record label Om Records[1] and later to Uno Recordings.[2] The band started after a collaboration between Gabriel Rene and Andy Caldwell in 1995. The band was composed of Rene (vocals), Gabriel Rene (keyboards), Mei-Lwun (DJ turntable) and Caldwell (keyboards and producer).[1] They are influenced by jazz, blues, neo-soul, drum and bass, hip hop, and bossa nova.[3]

Gina and Gabriel Rene are the sister and brother of US The X Factor season 1 contestant and second runner-up Chris Rene. Caldwell has gone on to perform solo and producing artists through Uno Recordings, a music producing label that he established in 2004.

Soulstice has released three albums: Illusion (2001), its accompanying remix album Mixed Illusions (2001), and In the Light (2011).

PopMatters wrote, "A nicely compiled set of remixes, Mixed Illusions will undoubtedly please fans of the original album."[5]
