Whenever Groove Junkies' Evan Landes & Solara collaborate on a project you know the outcome will be on point. There latest offering "PERCEPTION" keeps their blissful union movin' forward, while showcasing the evolution of their artistry & collective talent. Throughout todays highly conscious global community 'perception' often times dictates how we view at each other, ourselves and society. This song looks at it as a living, breathing, life consuming entity, but is ultimately one of empowerment. "Perception" the song will make you think, but make no mistake about it, it's also designed to move the body as well as the soul. Co-written by Evan & Solara, Groove Junkies OG Afro Soul Mix delivers all the qualities to please the soulful, afro and house enthusiasts and serves as a sturdy backdrop to Solara's engaging vocal.

THEIR COLLABORATIVE HISTORY:
Choosing quality over quantity, Groove Junkies & Solara have always opted to let things happen organically and not put any undo pressure on the creative process. The co-owners of the respected MoreHouse Records (MoHo) imprint came out the box strong with the seminal hit "Deeper" which debuted at #2 on the DJ Mag Hype Chart in 2003. The two scored again on Solara's second ‘MoHo’ release “Sunshine (Sol Brilliante),” this time capturing the #1 one slot on the DJ Mag Hype Chart! This led to her flawless vocal interpretation on Groove Junkies remix of Ben Watt’s “Lone Cat,” the first single on his Buzzin’ Fly imprint.

Future collabos on the highly regarded Om Records (“Just Groovin,’” & “Paradise”) and MoreHouse (“Life Is What You Make It,” “Pulled Me Through”) showcased the varied colors and shades of Solara's unique vocal prowess and enhanced their reputation within the global dance community.

GJs and Solara releases can boast staunch support from a veritable who’s who list of internationally known DJ’s such as the late great Frankie Knuckles, Louie Vega, Sandy Rivera, Tony Humphries, Miguel Migs, Marques Wyatt and many more. 

Their songs have received stellar reviews in trade magazines such as DJ Mag, IDJ, M8 and Discoid and recently snagged ‘Song of the Year’ honors for a re-interpretation of their classic song “Sunshine” at the inaugural Los Angeles House Music Awards in late 2015. 

Their music has been licensed and featured on compilations such as Hed Kandi’s “Stereo Sushi,” Ministry Of Sound’s “Ritmo Bacardi,” Seamless Recordings “Bargrooves” and Om Records “House Of Om” & “Summer Sessions.”

Their songs have been featured on numerous international radio shows such as BBC’s Radio One, Ministry Of Sound, Hed Kandi and Galaxy FM in the UK, as well as Radio Italia in Italy, UDM in Switzerland, Radio Norway and KCRW & Power Tools in the US.

Solara’s captivating ‘live’ performances have added yet another dimension to her stellar solo career and while performing with Groove Junkies. She’s performed multiple times at Barbara Tucker’s prestigious “Let The Singer Be Heard” Event and she joined forces with GJs at the wildly successful “Afternoon Delight” Party at WMC in Miami. The two have also shared the stage at the ultra cool SHE Party in Sydney, Australia, as well as numerous events in their hometown of Los Angeles - including MoreHouse Records 10 Year Anniversary Party @ the world renowned King King and on the main stage at Grand Park’s 4th of July Block party in front of 3,500 fans. Their ‘live’ sets are a perfect combination of Solara's God given vocal talent, grace, beauty and ability to thoroughly engage an audience, coupled with Evan's exceptional programming & production skills and DJ'ing capabilities.

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.
