Frank Ryle, founder & member of COOL MILLION, launches his debut-album titled 'The Adventures Of Jefferson Keyes'. The album concept is based on collaboration between singers and musicians' from Denmark, Germany, USA and England. The album title is referring to the 70's TV series Cool Million and the main character's name – Jefferson Keyes.
'The Adventures Of Jefferson Keyes' has heavy influence from the musical vaults of the late 70's & early 80's Soul-Funk-Disco & Boogie era, in order to create new stories to enter the 21. Century of music.
'A Ryle solo album wasn't actually a real plan at first, just a loose thought in between Cool Million albums. I am a vinyljunkie and a collector and i really love those late 70's and 80's boogie-funk 12inch vinyls, with at least 5 mins length – so when i made the final decision to make a album in my own name i wanted to recreate (or try too) that with this project'.
‘Another aim was to include some raw Danish talent, so I did. But the most important thing about this project were that it had to be released on vinyl – to give it the right touch and make it stand out from the mp3/streaming world – go back to analog both in sound, look and style'.
'The Adventures Of Jefferson Keyes' is a classic old school 8 track album. The vinyl edition is pressed on 180 gram. Featuring artist such as; Kenny Thomas, Sulene Fleming, Kiki Kyte, Folami, Gregers, Seest... JD73, Ernie Mckone, U-Nam, Greg Doggett & Rob Hardt.

"Four to the Floor" came together during the time spent by Folami on the 2017 Earth, Wind & Fire with CHIC ft Nile Rodgers tour of the U.S. The inspiration from this tour with two mega- giants of music created a combination of 70's disco, dance and pop music for Folami's smash single. It was also heavily influenced by Marvin Gaye's album, Midnight Love, when Marvin started incorporating synthesizer, drum machines and the effect and elements that created his classic sound.
The original music was created by Sebastian Moore in Montreux, Switzerland with lyrics written by Mackenzie Frye. Grammy nominated singer, songwriter and producer, Lester "L2" Shaw produced the track.
The title, "Four to the Floor" references a commonly used musical term in dance music that defines a rhythm pattern: a steady, uniformed beat in which the bass drum, or kick, is hit on every beat (1, 2, 3, 4).

Four To The Floor

She creeps on the scene like a thief in the night. Like an energy that isn't bound by body. Her energy enters and surrounds the room before she does. And her lust for life builds until she can't contain her own anonymity. As she assumes her power (spirit now SYNCING w/ body), she commands the room to be the fullest of themselves. To GIVE THE PEOPLE EVERYTHING and freeze it in time. - McKenzie Frye
