We welcome Phil Hooton from Leeds to our artist roster with an exciting new release ‘Zanzibar’ that he’s been championing for a few years now in his dj sets and has become somewhat of an underground anthem whenever he’s dropped it.

Since we picked it up this special track has been in heavy rotation in our sets at Makin’ Moves and it always grabs attention whenever it’s been played.

The release comes with three mixes, Main Mix, Dub and Spoken Drum Mix. The Main Mix takes us on a journey to Zanibar in Africa with deep drums and haunting organ stabs that give us a feel that we are there alongside the lion and tigers, particularly when the lion roars! The Dub also works equally well, with a hint of the classic ‘Plastic Dreams’ about it.

Phil didn’t grow up in a Southside church or cut his teeth at a Deep South Baptist revival, but to hear Phil Hooton’s music, you could certainly think so. From the UK, Phil Hooton gospel-tinged compositions and DJ sets have earned him the acclaim of Deep House pioneers from Glenn Underground and Kerri Chandler to Farley Jackmaster Funk, as well as Chicago’s Nu Bang Clan, which just inducted him as a member. Together with Phil Asher, Mr. Hooton has to be considered on anyone’s shortlist of the hottest UK producers on the scene today.

Following the success of the first package of remixes of ‘Ding Ding’, Makin’ Moves are proud to bring you the second package from Chicago deep house don Glenn Underground and rising French star Loic L.

Glenn was raised on a diet of disco classics and freeform jazz of 70s Chicago, where house music was born. Taking inspiration from pioneers Larry Heard, Ron Hardy, Lil‘ Louis. Glenn has produced some of the most respected deep house music for Cajual, Prescription Guidance and Peacefrog. The man is an astonishing and inspirational producer and we really like what he’s done to the original flipping it nicely to create a hot piece of US garage!

Loic Landi, a.k.a. Loic.L, was born in Bordeaux during the 80s. His passion for electronic music began during the 90s, with the rise of the techno movement. Only later did he take interest in House Music. It was his cousin, Hallex M, who helped him discover what true House Music was, over the course of numerous parties in Bordeaux.

Since 2010, he has been producing his first tracks in collaboration with his cousin under the label United Music Records. He draws influence from the Afro and Soulful styles of great producers like Osunlade, Black Coffee, Ralf Gum, Louie Vega and you can clearly hear these influences on his remix.

WRITING & PRODUCTION:-
Written by: Omar Lyefook
Produced by DJ Fudge & Hallex M

Tiger Wilson is a name that has already been causing quite a stir in the soulful corners of the US House Music scene. Now the New Jersey native is set to bring his brand of smooth vocal House and R&B across the Atlantic, by teaming up with UK label Makin’ Moves, releasing the ‘I Can Love You Betta’ EP.

Wilson’s tenure in the music industry, as a producer and songwriter, has already seen him working with artists such as Jaheim, Estelle and Chris Brown. It was, however, realising his dream of working with Timmy Regisford, renowned House producer and A&R legend, that fuelled his progression as a solo artist. Their collaboration lead to the release of New York club favourite’s such as ‘Masterpiece’, ‘In The Club’ and ‘Burning Hot’ and it was whilst in the studio with Regisford that Tiger Wilson revealed his vocal talent’s on the dancefloor smash ‘Sometimes’.

By mid-Spring of 2013, Wilson was approached by UK label Makin’ Moves’ owner, Matt Langrish-Smith. The London label boss had been following Tiger’s development as an artist and knew the massive potential in an EP project that would showcase his talents on a grander scale.

Tiger then got to doing what he does best, writing new music, and the first single, ‘Anything Is Possible’, was born.  The song-driven soulful house track was supported heavily in the NYC scene, including noteable plays from Louie Vega and Kevin Hedge on NYC station WBLS, sending Tiger touring around the states.

Wilson is now ready to release the three final tracks of the EP, ‘I Can Love You Betta’, ‘There Is Hope’ and ‘NYC Track’.

The EP effortlessly blends his experiences and influences, from Philadelphia and Motown soul, Gospel and R&B, to his recent dance-floor attention. ‘I Can Love You Betta’ is a more than just a collection of great music, it’s a statement of intent to inspire, with the simple message of  “live life to the fullest”.

DJ Fudge has long been a force in the house music scene since his Trouble Men days on the well-respected Kif Recordings and alongside his good friend Hallex M has carved a notch in the new breed of rare talent over the past years.  Both guys had longed to work with UK soul legend Omar Lye-Fook. And late last year their dream came true when Omar visited Hong Kong where Hallex and DJ Fudge both currently reside and there they worked on two tracks which have had people talking about for sometime.

The first was ‘Simpatico’ which was released on Osunlade’s Yoruba Imprint earlier this summer and has become an anthem from Ibiza to Croatia . ‘Ding Ding’ the second track we feel is even better, an instant dance floor filler! Omar delivers a stellar performance that has already been getting rave reviews from the few djs that have been playing the promo to in recent months.

We’ve enlisted the help of three great remixes on this project and will be releasing this package across two packages. First up on release one you will be able to get the Art of Tones remixes, which are simply stunning. Art of Tones is Ludo Llorca and has been making great waves with his sound for the last summer releasing on other labels such as Local Talk. Package two will feature remixes from Loic L and Chicago’s deep house master Glenn Underground who brings an nostalgic classic garage mix.
