Groove Junkies feat. Solara PERCEPTION (Groove Junkies vs Deep Soul Syndicate Remix - snippet)

112 KBPS FILES - DON'T BE A DUNCE!

Midnight Runners comes to Razor-N-Tape with a 12” of Southern Hemisphere disco gold! Harry Septiandry has been gaining traction with standout releases on Darker Than Wax and Star Creature under his Munir alias, and for his RNT debut he serves up four extra special reworks of obscure disco from his native Indonesia. The source material would stump even the most savvy of ears, but Harry finds the universal in these rare gems, augmenting the grooves and preserving just the right bit of camp for super sunny spin!

His latest album, Produced With Love II, continues the work he started with 2017s superb collection. Incorporating aspects of house, soul and disco and crafted with the attention to detail youd expect from someone of Lees heritage and calibre, Produced With Love II comprises 12 brand new songs and will arrive in June 2022.

The writing process has always remained the same and Dave has always preferred to work face-to-face with artists whenever possible albeit with a few enforced remote sessions due to the pandemic.

Says Lee of his approach:

Writing new memorable songs is difficult. It's much easier coming up with a good backing track or using a sample than it is a killer new top line. There were about 200 releases a week in the 90s, now there are apparently 8000 on Beatport. How many of them are decent original songs? Id say its about the same as the 1990s, maybe even less.

It helps enormously when youre working with some really talented people and Ive always tried to work with musicians - like Michele Chiavarini, Kaidi Tatham and Tony Remy - who are some of the best at what they do. On this album Ive got seasoned vocalists like Omar, Lifford and Valentine Brothers Billy Valentine who have the classic soul sound I love. For me I simply think about the voice, not how marketable the person is.

Released as the lead single from the album in April, Starlight sees Lee team up with Omar: a former principal percussionist of the Kent Youth Orchestra and later a graduate of the Guildhall School Of Music who was awarded an MBE in 2012 for services to music.

Starlight is a gorgeous, mid-tempo dance record, with Omars silky vocals backed up with rich production: soaring live strings, groove-laden clav and synth over a warm bassline creating a heady, inviting atmosphere.

Its an almost viscerally life-affirming record: a theme that continues throughout the entire album. Take a track like If You Ever Need Somebody feat. Tiffany Tzelle', or Taste My Love' with vocals from the aforementioned Billy Valentine. These songs would stand toe-to-toe with any soul standard from the 70s or 80s: to have production this rich and bold in 2022 isnt far short of miraculous.

And thats what you get throughout Produced With Love II an attention to detail and level of creative collaboration rarely seen. Its why a Dave Lee album is a rare thing. These things take time, but when they do come along, its something worth treasuring.

Tonbe & Rescobar - Look So Good [Fruity Flavor] [FF124]

Regrooved / Re-Cut / Re-Waxed / Re-Edited / Re-Constructed / Re-Produced / Re-Jigged / Re-Vibed by The Jamwax Crew
Essential Rarities: A selection of 28 killer edits from illustrious discoteers...  experts of the regroove format... built for dance floor domination.
In its finest expression, the disco edit is disinformation, a way to scramble the signal of the familiar into something uncanny, a means by which to mis-remember the past, to pull a switcheroo on memory, to suggest parallel dimensions to its dancers. 

The hard-driving grooves, the organic grit, packaged to appeal to disco funk fetishists, a limited-edition selection... dance-with-edge: avant-funk, mutant disco vibez... 
A totally unscheduled resurrection of avant-funk and disco... the inhibited and coercive treadmill rhythms, the constipated basslines, the desolate dub-space. 
... with its multiple connotations of madness, fury, and deranging euphoria: the ultimate merger of aggression and celebration, 
packed with febrile hyperspeed percussion, ominous basslines, dizzy sensations of harrowing bliss, a haunted/hunted vibe of spooked-out paranoia...
The crew known to perfect the craft of the seamless, prolonged mixes.

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.

After the label’s first release "Inside My Soul" garnered immediate critical acclaim and international attention and subsequent hit singles "Gonna Get By" & "Deeper" took clubland by storm, MoreHouse had positioned themselves as one of dance music’s elite imprints. Within a relatively short period of time by industry standards, the label had earned the praise and support from even the most jaded house purists. The aforementioned songs, penned and produced under Landes’ highly regarded production moniker Groove Junkies, along with other MoreHouse chart toppers have been played, charted and reviewed by a who’s who list of tastemaker's over the years. Titles such as "Music's Gotcha Jumpin,'" “Dr Feelgood,” "Oh Lord," “Black Man In The White House,” "Sunshine," “In The Zone,” “The White Light,” ”Far Away,” “God Bless The Child,” “Ray’s Groove,” and most recently a fab cover of the Beatles “Let It Be” have received consistent club and mix show support from industry legends such as Frankie Knuckles, Louie Vega, David Morales, Ben Watt, Tony Humphries, Roger Sanchez, Joey Negro, Danny Rampling, Richard Earnshaw, DJ Spinna, CJ MacKintosh, and Brian Tappert to name a few. 

MoreHouse has graced the pages of hi-profile trade magazines such as DJ Mag, IDJ, M8 and DJ Times. Label/Artist featured articles and stellar reviews of chart topping MoHo releases have bolstered their reputation as one of the worlds most respected indie dance labels.

Beach, Miami at the Shelbourne (MoHo in SoBe) and in their hometown of Los Angeles at Libertine & Dragon Bar (MoHo Los Angeles) attracted thousands of partygoers and house enthusiasts from around the world. 

2009 brought on the introduction of MoHo’s highly acclaimed compilation series MoHo Vault’s & MoHo Essential’s, as well as a Top 10 Singles download hit “Shut Up n’ Dance” feat. Wendy Brune on Traxsource.
