Forbidden Love

Deep Roger feat Lifford "Forbidden Love" (Rightside RMX)

EXCLUSIVE PROMO DROPS MARCH 24th on TRAXSOURCE

Mix Name: Groove Junkies & Deep Soul Syndicate Main Mix

Groove Junkies' Evan Landes joins forces with Deep Soul Syndicate's red hot Munk Julious & the incomparable Lisa Shaw for a much anticipated collaboration which delivers on all fronts! MoHo's first release in 2022 ('Touch One Soul') is exactly what you'd expect from these 3 savvy House music veterans - top shelf production, intelligent / uplifting lyrics and a melody & vocal that is sweet as honey! We were also extremely blessed to have obtained the services from the incredibly talented Ezel Feliz on keys and background vocals from the gifted Solara.

The idea for 'Touch One Soul' was born from witnessing a truly selfless act right after the initial wave of the pandemic - when folks were still trying find a way out of their respective bubbles from the initial lockdowns. It's easy to lose sight of what an emotional roller coaster ride the pandemic has been and the toll it's taken on our families, friends and societies around the world. 'Touch One Soul' takes an introspective look at overcoming fears and getting ones priorities in order. At the end of the day we need human connection and move in strength when we treat each other with kindness and love. Lisa's nuanced interpretation is so relatable and soulFILLED. Her signature, sultry delivery glides effortlessly over Latin influenced beats, lush rhodes, strings and pads, with sumptuous organ & synth work. 'Touch One Soul' grabs you from Bar 1 and takes you on a glorious 7:30 journey which promises to uplift and make you move with the highest of vibrations. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Richard Earnshaw ft. Natasha Watts - Won't Let Go - Classic Vocal Mix

Following the success of the Original and Neal Conway’s Afro versions of “Isn’t It A Shame” from Thommy Davis’ forthcoming album, we at Quantize Recordings couldn’t wait to release these killer remixes from David Harness, and Neal Conway, Thommy Davis, & DJ Spen!  This already classic tune will fire up your sets with new vibes and fresh interpretations.  The legendary David Harness revamps the song with his classic San Francisco flavored sound while Neal Conway churns takes the song in a direction reminiscent of the early 90’s house sound, this time with the team of DJ Spen and Thommy Davis.  We think that you will enjoy Tracy Hamlin’s timeless vocals on this soulful ballad turned into a soulful house gem for years to come.

This time around Groove Junkies & Reelsoul deliver a soul / funk / disco infused cover of the 1973 Al Green smash "Love & Happiness" w/ the one n' only Mijan on vocal duties. The fellas have been on a roll in 2020 moving from strength to strength with a variety of highly charted originals, covers and remixes. Their re-imagined treatment of the AG classic maintains that high level of filth that you've come to expect! Evan & Will's 'Groove N' Soul Retro Vox pays homage to the original, but brings things forward for today's club culture. Mijan's intoxicating soulful interpretation showcases the powerhouse Diva's flair & vocal gymnastic ability and reminds us just how gifted she is. 

At a time when we're all trying to cope during a global pandemic that's fraught with political and civil unrest, we're all searching for some stability and a lil' 'love & happiness.' Somehow this fits in beautifully amongst all the craziness. We hope that it pulls you in, puts a smile on your face and reminds you of a kinder and simpler time. ENJOY!

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. 

MoreHouse songs have been played and charted on numerous international radio shows such as BBC’s Radio One, Ministry Of Sound, Hed Kandi & Galaxy FM in the UK, as well as Radio Italia in Italy, Pacha Radio in Spain, DV FM in Denmark, Braga Radio in Portugal, UDM in Switzerland, Radio1 Rodos in Greece, Radio Norway, Orbit FM & Pulse Radio in Australia, Beats Radio in So. Africa, KCRW & Power Tools in the US and many more outlets both FM and internet based throughout the world. Groove Junkies immensely popular ‘MoHo Stereo’ Radio Show aired on 5 continents to over one million confirmed listeners each month from 2006-2010.

MoHo’s rich discography can boast licensing songs to some of the most successful branded House compilation series such as Defected's "In The House" & "Connected", Hed Kandi's "Stereo Sushi", Ministry Of Sound's "House Sexy", Seamless Recordings "Bargrooves" and Om Records "House of Om" to name a few. In 2008 MoreHouse issued its 100th license for 3rd party compilations.

Building upon an already loyal fan base and forever evolving, MoreHouse’s tougher sibling label MoHo 180 launched in the fall of 2008 with great results. 180’s first release “I Put My Faith In You,” produced by Danish sensation Morten Trust (aka Soulmagic) and featuring EDM superstar Ida Corr rocked main room dance floors. MoHo’s branded events in So. 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.

2010 marked the release of Groove Junkies debut artist album “IN THE ZONE” which received Album of the Year & Album of the Month kudos and rave reviews from industry tastemakers. It also garnered the coveted #1 Album Download slot and spawned two more Top 10 Single downloads ( “Far Away” feat. TC Moses and “What’s Freedom” co-penned by Solara & feat. Joi Carwell) on Traxsource. 

Keeping the momentum moving forward, MoreHouse scored two more Top 10 single downloads on Traxsource with Groove Junkies amazing cover of Phyllis Hyman’s “You Know How To Love Me,” featuring MoHo veteran Indeya in 2011 and with their Gospel house treatment of Billie Holiday’s classic “God Bless The Child” featuring newcomer Chellena Black in 2012 – their 15th overall Top 10 download on Traxsource! 

‘Future Classics’ to be on the lookout for on MoreHouse & MoHo 180 include original releases from Evan under his new Deep House alias ‘Nimble Digits’ and Groove Junkies moniker, along with a variety of singles from a vast array of gifted artists on both labels. The fall of 2012 also marked MoreHouse’s 10 Year Anniversary. Retrospective compilations celebrating the achievement are scheduled for release throughout 2013. Expect nothing less than fresh, high quality releases on both imprints in the upcoming months and years to com
