Groove Junkies - In The Zone Sampler 1

Posted: 06 May 2010 11:57 AM PDT

4 amazing full length cuts from GJs re-designed artist album. FIYA!

The first installment of 2 new samplers from Groove Junkies 're-designed' artist album "In The Zone" offers 4 amazing full length cuts that shows a wide spectrum of GJs artistry and musical evolution. The sampler glides from strength to strength with timeless songs and eclectic grooves that feature a collective of truly gifted vocalists & musicians. GJs ability to move an audience both physically and emotionally is on full display here as Part 1 showcases a few of the gems from the highly anticipated album. Be on the lookout for the ITZ album sampler Part 2 to drop in April which will also feature a crop of new and previously unreleased floor fillers from the full length album.

"In The Zone" (the album) will be released in its entirety both mixed and un-mixed in May 2010. The re-designed album will contain brand new material, as well as standout cuts from the albums original lineup of songs, and a few re-tweaked fan favs from the back catalogue. There will also be various bundled singles from the album that will get remix treatments and be released throughout 2010. ENJOY!!!

1. "In The Zone" �— GJs delved into new territory when the highly acclaimed original version of the album's title cut made its debut on the initial album sampler in 2008. "ITZ" has now received a filthy little DJ friendly afro-tech makeover that's primed & ready to be one of the bullets for your peak-hour sets. Sick!!

2. "Far Away" feat. TC Moses �— The title paints a picture of a place that many of us want to escape to when life beats you down. It's a song that's filled with emotion and sung with precision by the 'oh so talented' TC Moses who also co-wrote the song with Groove Junkies Evan Landes. It also features the keyboard wizardry of Cory Allen and percussionist extraordinaire Gary Stennette who are new additions to the MoHo fam. Reminiscent of earlier work from Louie Vega, Blaze and Frankie Feliciano; this one is definitely one for the soulful headz. Be on the lookout for remixes which will be comin' soon from Richard Earnshaw, Micky More, Yogi & Husky & Neil Pierce.

3. "The White Light" feat. Alexander Sky �— One of the common denominators on Part 1 is that it pays homage to the guys featured on the album (don't worry it's all about the ladies on Part 2 :-). Alexander Sky whose put his soulful stamp on previous MoHo nuggets, and most recently lent his talent to Andy Caldwell's latest artist album returns with a vengeance! His vocal styling will remind you of crooners such as Christian Urich from Tortured Soul, Kem, Jay Kay, Robert Smith from The Cure and is even Bono-esque at times, but at the end of the day it is uniquely his own. Brilliantly penned by Sky and produced by Evan, his hauntingly beautiful vocals sit perfectly on top of afro/soca drums, atmospheric pads, and rhythmic synths. "The White Light" may just be the sleeper of the bunch.

4. "Inside My Soul" (Re-worked) �— feat. Solomon Henderson �— This is the tune that inspired Brian Tappert to distribute MoreHouse back in 2002. It was the first MoHo release from back in the day and has now received a fresh treatment that keeps the integrity of the song intact, but injects a little bit of that classic 'Philly' soul into the mix. The new mix features 4 on the floor drums, Chic inspired rhythm guitar along with a very tasty solo courtesy of Romeo Brune', Brent Riggs on keys, MoHo staple Les King on bass and of course the amazing Solomon Henderson on vocals. This one will always have a special place in our hearts and is the quintessential cherry on top for the package.

Joman - Static

Posted: 05 May 2010 08:31 PM PDT

Joman does it again with this much anticipated release of Static. We dare you not to groove to this banging tune. An electro saw wave rolls alongside Joman's irresistible signature sound, layered perfectly with his very own vocals that seem to speak a message all of their own. The original's intense bassline is paired well with flirty synth lines and the perfectly timed climax is complimented with an intense harmonic shift that is sure to excite the dance floor. Incontext Remix Incontext leads us down a slightly darker and delicious liquid tale of Drum and Bass goodness. InContext takes an already emotion filled vocal and pairs it with a dark and smooth rolling sub bass, an emotional piano backing, and an enticing snare. Taking the listener to a captivating place where only liquid drum and bass can go. Farace Velcro city records is proud to offer up two heaping spoonfuls of Farace. First up we have a Chill Out mix that is a must have for the DJ catering to the groove. This one's creeping and crawling, downtempo bass accents and pure filtered vocals leave the slow tempo dripping with intensity. Farace comes back strong with this second remix bringing around an edgier, throaty, rolling breaks version of the original. Keeping the rawness of the original intact, Farace fulfills your all out hunger for the broken beat. Stacy's Allie's Audio Elastic Remix Stacy Osorio's rendition of this highly emotional track is exacerbated with his addition of intense seismic growling. This remix has it all with its heavy bass and a surprising sexy wobble drop leaving the listener with a wonderful after taste in their mouth. Deep Focus Remix Deep Focus takes us in to a new direction from his normal production. The DnB smasher throes this remix through a 4�—4 blender and gives us a nice club anthem. Gordon Freeman Remix Mr.Freeman goes down a dark path with this one. Dirty wobbles and nasty synths make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and take notice. Vocoded vocals and the perfect amount of stutter make this remix a must have for the Fidget crowd. Audius Remix Audius provides an electro/fidget house rendition and drops the original vocals down an octave, giving them a nasty, almost vocoded sound accompanied by choppy percussion, zapping LFO effects, and the dirty wobbly bass. Satori-C Remix Satori -C dishes up his style of tech infused dubstep with this version but leaves just enough of the chewy nugget center of the original to make this a killer genre crossing mix. Dj Vanish Remix Educated listening. Vanish has managed to bring this track out of the warehouse and into the sexy lounge, panty dropping, atmosphere where we all know and love him. Laced with a steamy thick synth line and bursting teases of the echoed out vocals this one is sure to stimulate and soothe even the pickiest of house listeners. As a special treat we have included the original vocal sample for use in bootlegs and remixes. Be Kind, Please Rewind. velcrocityrecords.com
