Returning into 2023 with something very special and highly anticipated for sometime now... Kengo (Four to the Floor) has returned from his production hiatus to present us with his second release on Makin' Moves. This time collaborating with the Godfather of Gospel house himself, Mr Kenny Bobien. With such a distinctive falsetto, Kenny reignites this soulful rendition which results into a meaningful masterpiece originally sung by American Soul singer Donny Hathaway.
Also, courtesy of Jihad Muhammad has added his 'Bang The Drum' Edit in which he keeps the soulful elements yet drives more towards the dance floor. We hope you enjoy this as much as we do.

Lyrics Performed by Kenny Bobien
Original Mix Produced by Kengo (Four to The Floor)

Traxsource LIVE! #467 with Kai Alce

Frank McComb is a divine soul man who speaks with the native tongue of soul, jazz, blues and pop. His virtuoso vocal and piano work has made him not only an indispensable and highly sought after session musician, but a favorite on the soul, jazz and R&B scenes. 

Frank has worked with many of the entertainment industry%u2019s giants including but not limited to: Prince, Branford Marsalis, George Duke, Patrice Rushen, Gerald Levert, The Rude Boys, Phil Perry, Tommy Davidson, Fred Hammond, John P. Kee, Chaka Khan, Songwriting duo Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, D.J. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince (Will Smith), Frankie Beverly and Maze, Teena Marie, Lalah Hathaway, Terri Lynn Carrington, Phyllis Hyman, Valerie Simpson, American Idol's Rickey Minor, Philip Bailey, Teddy Pendergrass and so many more. 

'Listen To Your Heart' came out in 2000 on an album called Love Stories. New Jersey house producers Adam Rios and Mark Lewis aka AMFlow loved the original song and felt the hook would work nicely with a house music beat and made a special mix for themselves that they would play out in dj sets. 

We heard the new mix and sent it to Frank asking if we could release it and he loved it so much he re-sung the vocals and the rest they say is history! 

AMFlow are Adam Rios and Mark Lewis hailing from New Jersey, USA. Adam has been in the industry for many years mostly producing house music with legend Timmy Regisford and the Shelter crew for many years and has recently stepped up his solo projects with Vega Records. This exciting side project with Mark Lewis is called AMFlow. Expect to hear more form these guys later this year!

“Rough Or Smooth” offers an emotive body of electronic songs. A taste for deep, electronic house music and a passion for traveling for over 30 years set Abel’s table with a full plate of inspiration enabling him to dive deeper into his music production.

The album features few with Abel standing strong as the main sound provider. Inviting old friend and former studio partner ‘Craig James’ to participate and subsequently ‘Marcel Nouveaux’, a soul vocal artist from West London now residing in Sweden. This album also sees a wonderful cameo appearance from his 7 year old son ‘Elliott’ who is showing a great interest in the creation of electronic music. ‘Atjazz’ features throughout the album in differing roles, key to guiding Abel through his process and assisting with additional keyboards and production.

Being the Son of a Jazz musician it’s really no wonder his music carries depth, emotion and style yet he incorporates his love of the moody ‘Deep House Sound’ circa 1998, very warm and rather gritty!. An early drifter and never finding complete comfort sitting still or settling in one place for too long, he found peace in moving continuously through Europe in his early adult life, mainly travelling around France, Austria and Holland. Years later, a chance meeting in Croatia connected Abel with Atjazz, they linked up and worked out two singles. These releases were suspended pending an album in the making and... “Rough Or Smooth” was born!

This is a true journeyman’s Deep House album, generating evocative and stimulating sounds for both the clubber and the specialist looking for a little more depth in their House Music collection.
