Bayacou Records presents the long anticipated collaborative album between soulful powerhouse duo Ezel & Rona Ray. Having consolidated their position with an array of previous singles, all of them achieving critical acclaim, they are now ready to unveil to the world their magnum opus in a full album experience showcasing the depth of their joint creative vision.

Hard to Stay Away' their first collaboration together back in 2021, that is also included as one the songs of the album,  still sits at the helm of the main editorial charts in Spotify, has seen the constant spin of Djs such Dj Spinna, Kai Alce, Isoul8 among others and its currently on its fourth repress cycle on vinyl as its physical inception has become a strongly coveted item featuring one of the most distinct and memorable remixes of UK house maestro Atjazz.  Their follow up single 'No Gravity' unique for its clever use of an odd time signature 5/4 over 4/4 dance constancy hits you like anything else you have heard and immediately makes big guns in the genre notice, as if these two are trying to really tell us something here.  Later, in the summer of 2022 their first real summer hit arrived in the form of 'Don't Know Yet'. Even to this day you can hear house music royalty like German house don Mousse T,  new generation powerhouse Ash Lauryn, the iconic Natasha Diggs and even the world famous Seth Troxler include it in their sets as it has been documented on several social media posts. And if you are thinking that marked the ceiling for these two, what they did with their latest single 'History Repeating' was the last straw that broke the camel's back as they say, an instant #1 traxsource overall hit that saw massive overall support and was literally played everywhere especially in discerning floors in the UK and the United States as their superbly sound was put in world Dj Spen conveyed to Ezel as 'how modern soulful house should sound in 2023' 

That brings us to the present time where they finally connect all the dots for people to see and bring us 'Take Me Home', the definitive testament of their collaboration that spans over 3 years. It highlights the chemistry between the duo, their wondrous interplay of influences, all encapsulated in deeply satisfying modern dance music, and especially with the common denominator that is soul and authenticity that is what they bring.  The album starts with a 1 minute 20 sec intro track that feels almost as what you would imagine if they put together a live show, which we hope they do. It immediately reel you into their sonic world bringing a sort of wow factor as depicting things to come.  The next 14 songs take you thru the motions of the distinct 'house flavors' they pick to display above all amazingly written songs that depart from what you would expect from the vocal house anthems they have established before as in 'Don't Know Yet' 'History Repeating' going to the more stripped down 'Hard to Stay Away' but they dive into new territory, adding new spice to their core soulful house groove and that's how they tease us some live funky bass, throwback percussion with the disco infused 'Endless Summer', some heavy 90s energy with the crafty and lyrically unique 'Forrest Gump'  and even more electronic almost disclosure like propositions in the case of  'If I Am Being Real' and 'Nothing is What it Seems' where Ezel's precise use pitched vocal samples enhance Rona's inherent classic R&B flair in her vocal delivery.  Other memorable cuts are 'Floating' that features tasty horn licks, a contribution from the famous Horn section that accompanies DJ Natasha Diggs on their infamous 'Soul in the Horn' parties. The album also features a song homonymous to the album name 'Take Me Home'. it carries the essential elements to their now trademark formulas for soulful hits: a great song composition arranged to perfection with the most infectious groove.

She (Ezel Remix)

Music Producer / DJ Ezel has been in the limelight of quality house music since its inception almost 14 years ago. Still, in the last 3 years, he has taken the scene by storm establishing himself as one of the soulful top house music producers constantly delivering chart-topping and floor-filling jams.
Originals productions such as his work with musical teammate Rona Ray for songs like “Hard to Stay Away” “Don’t Know Yet” or “History Repeating” and carefully curated remix work such as his afro house remix banger J.A.E. “Love Me Right” or the funk boogie filled action on his remix of Dezaray Down “The Real Deal” create the unanimous consensus that we are in front of a true musical powerhouse that knows no boundaries when it comes to creating amazing dance music with a timeless feel and with its own deeply authentic signature sound behind it.
As a DJ he has traveled the world with gigs all across the United States, Europe, and Japan. Just recently he shared the stages with greats such as Osunlade & Natasha Diggs at NYC Soul in the Horn party at one of the city's most exclusive venues club SILO in Brooklyn to a packed house leaving the audience asking for more.
As he exchanges being a very sought-after session musician/engineer and producer with selective touring each year, last year also saw him grace the west coast of the U.S. and Mexico for the first time as he participated as one of the headliners of the famous Mi Casa Holiday event sharing the decks with none other than Louie Vega.
This year 2024 with the announcement of his new album project “Take Me Home” produced by himself and that features a duo partnership with the amazing singer Rona Ray, one of the hottest voices in the house right now, Ezel embarks on his first European tour in years and is about to grace for the first time, in a long-anticipated reunion the audiences of the UK, which sounds and vibes has brought so much inspiration and vision to his work.
The new album “Take Me Home” brings about a newfound excitement for this experienced producer who started his career as a protege of the infamous Osunlade back in 2009. Now the owner of his musical destiny and a proud owner of his imprint “Bayacou Records” which sees the majority of his work, Ezel procures to continue to elevate his status in the scene by continuing to build a reputation of being an exciting vibrant contributor to our music putting out constant quality work while impacting audiences worldwide.
