  Bantunani is a Paris based group of "Nu-rumba" music; a genre innovated in 2007. The group was created by Michel Nzau VUANDA and managed by the label VizualizMusic. Nu-rumba is a mixture of rumba, hip hop and funk. One good think about nu-rumba is when it hurts, you feel no pain; as claimed its creator.
  
  The name of the group “Bantunani” is combination of two words; “Bantu” and “nani” in Lingala (one of the most spoken dialects in D.R.Congo), which mean “who are these people?”

In deserving Bantu, it is important to illustrate this art by a strong dance without defect.
  
  Umberto LUAMBO aka The Wise - Lead Guitarist & Producer
  Umberto, the boss of the guitar, guarantees the tradition. His set evokes in a very personal way, the unbreakable marriage of rumba and salsa.

  Papy BOELLE aka Mr Sébène - Guitarist
  He is the man of the structure the one who preservation gives rhythm to him when Umberto flies away in the modern rhythms.

  Awa Timbo, a life, a voice, a dream, there is a vivifying grace, a hardly tangible intensity and energy distilled carefully in the singing of this atypical vocalist which leads her career around the world for about ten years. It is the Fulani touch of the Bantus, which brings a sensual felt-tip in this virile groove.
  
  Loulee Chounlamany - Chorister
  She is no doubt the cinema touch of the group. Loulee brings a dramatic sense to her performances. Her oriental accents illuminate certain titles of their flavor.

ABOUT MOREHOUSE
Class, consistency, forward thinking and an unbridled passion for quality house music define the essence of MoreHouse Records. Founders Evan & Solara LMH Landes’ desire to enlighten and ultimately transform new listeners into loyal followers on a global level has been their mission since the label’s inception. MoHo’s strategy of releasing an eclectic array of intoxicating dance grooves which are not bound by any gimmicky trends, and memorable songs that stand the test of time has paid off since their doors first opened in 2002. A brilliant collective of singers, musicians, writers & producers, who are featured throughout MoreHouses’ impressive catalogue have helped define the “MoHo Sound”. Each unique release can run the gamut stylistically - ranging from organic soul, funk, afro, latin, jazz and gospel drenched songs, to peak hour, deep, tribal, and electronic influenced tracks.

Conan Liquid doesn’t buy into sub genres; only good music. With a faultless technical ability honed from years of studying his craft – this man wrote a thesis on the technology of mix downs- and his athenaeum sized catalogue of tunes a Conan Liquid set is a grooving journey and rhythmic education (of tracks you didn’t even know you loved) from start to finish. 
Conan does have big bragging rights, but you won’t hear him name-dropping. His passion is firmly placed in making music and spinning tracks. 
His turntable journey started out by playing hip hop and disco records in 1983 but in 1987 he heard the classic 80’s House gem by Ten City, “That’s the way love is”. 
Conan was signed to Strictly Rhythm at 26 after a coming of age trip to NYC with the formidable Gladys Pizarro; returning to the UK armed with a bucket full of jaw dropping stories and crate picked hardware from the East Village. Conan released ‘Sunny’s Theme”, a Bucketheads disco styled opus and this track led him onto peer-championed classics ‘One time for your mind’ and “Bring it back”. 
With over 400 releases to his name and a main room staple on the international Clubbing circuit, taking in almost every continent and major clubbing brand, including an appearance on Top of The Pops for his top 40 track ‘Monster’ (yes seriously), Conan has captivated dance floors with both his solo and Liquid People projects. 
Championed by the best in the business (we said we wouldn’t name drop but seriously take a look at this list): Masters at work, Todd Terry, Pete Tong, DJ Spen, Dave Lee, Frankie Knuckles, Tony Humphries, Roger S, his extremely impressive discography features on many major labels including MN2s, Tropical Disco, Defected Records, Strictly Rhythm, Sony, Z records, Africanism, Launch, Big Love and Catch 22 and productions for artists including Ashanti, Lighthouse Family, Talking Heads, Todd Terry, Radiohead, Blondie, Imogen Heap and All Saints. 
Conan now resides in Dubai where he runs the boutique label Crates Motel Records.
Due to his incredible technical ability, production and beat programming skills you can expect a faultless set of good quality music, with live re-edits, and live remixing on the fly. Few DJs can say they have remained at the top of a scene for over 30 years, yet this man can.
Genres: Deep House, Funk, Jazz, Disco, Lounge.

It is a story of passion, ambition and many coincidental factors that could only ever have been mapped out for Conan by the hands of fate.

Not even high enough to reach the turntables or even a control desk Conan’s musical journey began at the tender age of only 6 years old where he learnt the art of playing the drums and by this he developed his unique timing and sense of rhythm.

5 years on still only 11 years old Conan was splicing and mixing hip hop and disco on reel to reel and cassette.

Conan’s turntable journey started out by playing hip hop records and in 1987 he heard the classic late 80’s gem Ten City, “That’s the way love is” The popular piano house backbeat typifies the sound of the time, after hearing such a great track he decided to spread his wings into house.

Conan’s first release came out in 1993 under the alter ego “Logue” then followed by several exclusive white labels under the same pseudonym. In 1998 the light started to shine much brighter for Conan Liquid releasing his first major hit under the name of O.S.O.T.A entitled “sunny’s theme” which was signed to New York house giants Strictly Rhythm.

Following on in the year something new and exciting was on the horizon Conan and Dan Smith met and found that the musical chemistry between them was perfect and Liquid People was formed. Conan still continued with his solo projects both in the studio and behind the turntables but putting most of his time into the soon to be massive “liquid People” outfit.

Conan has captivated dance floors the world over with his solo and Liquid People projects which have been championed by the best in the business inc Masters at work, Todd Terry, Pete Tong, DJ Spen, Tony Humphries to name just a few…with an extremely impressive discology featuring tracks on many major house labels inc MN2s, Defected Records, Strictly Rhythm, Z records, Africanism and Catch 22.

Conan Liquid has recently released tracks with house giants Strictly Rhythm (how ironic the label where Conan’s first big break came) and the releases have been championed by the likes of Kenny Dope, Todd Terry, DJ Spen and many other major artists and DJs.

As much as he has rubbed shoulders with some of the worlds most famous he is most in his element behind the turntables entertaining the masses...and after a decade as a professional DJ has taken to working in the studio and Dj solo again playing at some of the biggest clubs the world has to offer.

Due to his incredible technical ability, production and beat programming skills you can expect a faultless set of good quality beat driven house music, with live re-edits, and live remixing on the fly.
