EVAN LANDES VS TERRY LEX 2015 REWORK (VOCAL & DUB)

OUT MARCH 6TH, 2015 EXCLUSIVELY @ TRAXSOURCE.COM &
ALL QUALITY DIGI DOWNLOAD STORES MARCH 30TH, 2015

In 2002 MoreHouse Records debut release “Inside My Soul” was supported by the likes of Frankie Knuckles, Tony Humphries, Louie Vega & Marques Wyatt to name a few.

As the story goes, just prior to its release Groove Junkies’ Evan Landes met Brian Tappert (one-half of House music royalty Jazz N’ Groove, co-owner of the iconic Soulfuric Records imprint and co-founder of Traxsource.com) for the first time at WMC. Brian had previously heard some material that Evan had sent over and originally wanted to sign one song in particular to Soulfuric. When the meeting ended, however, a bigger picture presented itself and MoreHouse Records (MoHo) became the first label to be distributed by Soulfuric. The song that sparked Brian’s interest, which ultimately became MoHo’s first release was “Inside My Soul.”  The initial offering from MoreHouse featuring the amazing vocals of Solomon Henderson caused quite a stir in the dance community, and put both the label, and for all intent and purposes Groove Junkies on the map. “Inside My Soul” is a record with tons of heart that oozes with soul, quality and class. Its relatable message has stood the test of time. In 2010 Evan gave it a fresh makeover and included it on his full length LP “In The Zone.” Now 5 years later it gets ‘Reworked’ with the deft touch of Swiss producer Terry Lex and Evan who’s riding the momentum from his #1 remix of Spiritchaser’s “Conch” in late 2014 and recent collaboration with Michele Chiavarini & Carolyn Harding titled “Play,” which peaked at #3 on Traxsource.com’s Top 100 Soulful Chart in Feb. 2015. On the ‘rework’ of “Inside My Soul,” GJs venerable front man once again displays the versatility of seasoned artist who still has his finger on the pulse of modern dance music.

Terry Lex is no stranger to House music either. He has worked in A&R, as a DJ, producer and studio engineer since the early 90’s and has had many top releases on some of the hottest dance labels in the scene including Milk & Sugar, Zulu, Soul Heaven, Duffnote, Liquid Deep, Tactical and Discopolis amongst many others! In 2014 and early 2015 Terry and long time partner Matt Caseli scored Top 10 and Top 15 hits on Beatport’s TOP 100 House Chart with their amazing cover of Underworld ''Born Slippy,” and an original titled “We Fade” which was co-penned & co-produced by Evan. Mr. Lex is the founder of Push On Music and has collaborated with many amazing Artists including Kenny Bobien, Peven Everett, L.T. Brown, Marc Evans & many more.

Evan and Terry have delivered 2 no nonsense mixes that are road tested and primed to do some serious damage on a variety of dance floors. Phat analogue bass, stabby synth chords and 808  / 909 beats provide the foundation for Solomon’s incredible vocal.  On the ‘Vocal Rework’ the fellas only use the best of the best lead adlibs and chorus from the original and have eliminated the verses with amazing results. On the ‘Dub Rework’ the boys use even less vocals and take a more repetitive and trippy approach with the vocals. The chopped up bass and org combo give things a more hypnotic, dubby feel. Both mixes hit the mark so choose at your own peril!

EVAN LANDES BIO
Born and raised in New York & currently residing in Los Angeles, Producer / DJ and record company owner Evan Landes (pka Groove Junkies, Cranky Owls, Nimble Digits) has gained wide support and respect throughout the international dance community over two decades for his consistent quality of work.

Since 1995 Evan has released an eclectic array of intoxicating dance grooves which are not bound by any gimmicky trends and memorable songs that stand the test of time. Within the genre of House music, each unique release can run the gamut stylistically - ranging from to deep, tribal, peak hour and electronic influenced tracks to organic soul, funk, afro, latin, jazz and gospel drenched songs.

Throughout the years Evan's original productions and remixes have amassed an impressive 25 Top 10 positions on Traxsource’s Top 100 download charts, a Top 5 and Top 20 on Beatport, as well as the no. 1, 2 & 5 slots on the European based DJ Mag Hype Chart and a couple of Top 5 positions in Billboard’s Top 100 Dance chart. In October 2010 his critically acclaimed debut artist album “In The Zone” shot up to the #1 position on the Top 100 Album Downloads chart on Traxsource within 4 days of its release and received ‘Album of the Year & Month’ kudos from numerous industry publications. 

His body of work has garnered DJ support from industry legends such as Frankie Knuckles, Louie Vega, David Morales, Roger Sanchez, Ben Watt, Joey Negro and Tony Humphries to name a few, along with a ‘who’s who’ list of industry tastemakers.

He's also collaborated on highly charted dance floor anthems for the likes of Om Records and Ben Watt’s Buzzin’ Fly and has contributed to the output of iconic labels such as Island/Def Jam, A&M, Warner Bros., J Records, Interscope, Ultra, Defected, Definity, Soulfuric, Mn2S, and LAY Records.

High profile commissioned remixes for international dance artists and top grossing acts have solidified Evan’s position as one of today’s most consistent and influential producers within the global House music community. Opting for quality over quantity, Groove Junkies treatment’s of songs from artists such as Ben Watt, Frankie Knuckles, Leela James, Deborah Cox, Marc Evans, Michelle Weeks, Lisa Millett, Carolyn Harding, Richard Earnshaw, Natasha Watts, Samantha James, Colonel Abrams, Rihanna and Pussycat Dolls all showcase Evan’s attention to production detail, his musicality and ability to move the crowd. 

Nominations for ‘Breakthrough Producer’ at London’s House Music Awards in 2005, and ‘Breakthrough DJ’ at the Ibiza DJ Awards in 2006 found Groove Junkies in company with nominees such as Dennis Ferrer, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso & Jamie Lewis and offered well deserved recognition of Evan’s exceptional ability.

He has headlined on 5 different continents and rocked the decks at such diverse venues / festivals / parties as Detroit’s Electronic Movement Festival, The Electric Daisy Carnival, Def Mix @ Pacha, Ibiza, Club Essential in Riga Latvia, Catwalk in Barcelona Spain, Turmills & The End in London, Street Parade in Zurich Switzerland, SHE @ Trademark in Sydney Australia, Indochine in Jakarta, Fruto Beach in Cartagena Colombia, Vox Bar & Pixie Club in Brazil, Mansion in Miami, Ruby Skye in San Francisco, The Smart Bar in Chicago and DEEP & Balance in Los Angeles to name a few. 

There’s no shortage of US based DJ’s & House producers, so it takes something quite special to rise above the rest and shine. The fact that Groove Junkies have cultivated such a strong reputation in such varied corners of this industry is testament not only to Evan’s enormous talent as a producer, his unbridled skill as a DJ and record label executive, but a combination of all - intertwined with that rarest of things; true star quality. There are no indications of letting up the pressure in 2016 and beyond.



I Just LOVE listening to Amazing music, by outstanding artist....  Nothing beats the music turned up Loud, a corona in your hand and dancing till the sun comes up....  Life just doesn't get better than that..

ABOUT MOREHOUSE
Class, consistency, forward thinking and an unbridled passion for quality house music define the essence of MoreHouse Records.
