MAKIN041 – Sol Brown featuring Lady Alma ‘Your Time To Shine’

Makin Moves are proud to present an exciting new project to the label, the track is called ‘Your Time To Shine’, born in the UK produced by Sol Brown with vocals from US soul legend Lady Alma.

Sol has had a busy last few years going from dj to producer and is currently riding the crest of a wave following some notable releases on Phil Asher’s Restless Soul label and more recently on Groove Odyssey Records with Taliwa on vocals.

Since the label begun 3 years ago we’ve wanted to work with Lady Alma and after Sol submitted the track to us we had all had know doubts who we wanted on it and the rest they say is history!

We really love the energy in the track and Alma’s vocals just tack things to a new level, spreading positivity along the way. Already road tested by the likes of Joe Claussell, Louie Vega and Opolopo this one looks set to be in many a djs cd case for sometime to come.

MAKIN037 – Arnaud D ft. Rescue Poetix – Life

Fresh from his hot remix on Strictly Rhythm is Arnaud D, with his second release on Makin’ Moves entitled ‘Life’. The track features the awesome spoken word talents of Rescue Poetix from New Jersey, USA who you may remember performed on ‘Basement Stomp’ so it’s great to have both of these artists coming together for another release on the label.

Poet and singer Rescue writes this song from the heart of the dancefloor almost speaking through the speakers at you.. ‘Can you feel it, i can, can you see it, i can. Can you taste it, i can, the rhythm i see you feeling it on that dance floor. Let go, close your eyes, let it speak to you, life is music, music is life… When it finds you, that life, that music it breathes through you, music, becomes your breathe.

Jamesey and Matt have been playing ‘Life’ for the last 6 months at their events and seen people literally losing it on the floor with it’s combination of deep bouncy groove and haunting harmonies. It’s an instant head nodding track and has great cross over appeal to the deep house heads.

There’s four mixes for you to choose from and all warm up the floor nicely, expect to hear this played a lot over the summer and beyond.

All music composed, and mixed by Arnaud D (Arnaud D ALEO ) sacem

Vocals & lyrics performed by RescuePoetix

Executive producers Jamesey D and Matt Langrish-Smith

Exclusive promo available via Traxsource.com Monday 20th July, available all other download sites Monday 14th August 2015.



MAKIN034 -Gianluca Pighi & Massimo Paramour featuring Ahmad Larnes ‘Ever Stop’ (includes Terry Hunter Remix)

The collective of Gianluca Pighi, Massimo Paramour and Ahmad Larnes return again to the label for their third single release ‘Ever Stop’. These guys have certainly hit on a winning combination for us with their tight production and great song writing as the team have gone from strength to strength.

‘Ever Stop’ was actually first created in late November 2002! Paramour had just moved back to Italy having spent 3 years in NYC and he decided to invite his friend and former room-mate Ahmad to Pighi’s studio to start producing something together. The chemistry was quite incredible. After less than a week, they had written 5 brand new demo songs and the rest they say is history!  Thankfully after a meeting between Pighi and Makin’ Moves the tracks have been able to see the light of day and what awesome songs they are!!

Ever Stop is a really positive song mainly about music and life in general. Larnes spells out you only live one life and to make the most of it and to keep trying to do what you love and his love for music and what would he do without it.. ‘I just wanted to run away and be free to play, cause tomorrow i could not see, because life was just a game to me, it didn’t matter what tomorrow brings, as long as the day bought new joys to sing, i knew i be happy, so happy have you ever stopped to think about tomorrow if the music stops dont wallow in your sorrow take a chance on life you may win if you don’t succeed then you try again..’

There’s three mixes on the package, the original Deep Soul mix swoops in and immediately gets the hairs down the back of your neck twinging as the warm chords travel along and catch you with positivity and heartfelt vocals.

The broken mix, takes the song in a different jazzy/broken beat direction working sublimely with Larnes’s soulful vocals, a must for all soul fans.

Finally, Chicago’s man of the moment Terry Hunter drops a hot remix sprinkled with a delightful uplifting piano that works superbly with Larnes vocals and beats will sure to be played in many clubs this summer!

Makin’ Moves presents Tortured Soul Live! @ Plan B Saturday 9th May 2015

People are still talking about the Ralf Gum and Monique Bingham event from back in January and Makin’ Moves have only gone and trumped that with yet another stellar line up as they bring Tortured Soul back to London for the first time in 2 years to London’s best club Plan B in Brixton!

The band will be blessing us with new live material alongside Makin’ Moves resident djs Matt L-S and Jamesey who continue to make their mark in the London House scene.

US soulful house trio Tortured Soul are proof that modern soulful house music can be freed from the DJ booth. Influenced by such classic artists as Prince, Heatwave and Kool & The Gang, the band deliver their third cool, groove-centred album, dedicated to the memory of keyboard player and founding member Ethan White, who passed away suddenly in March at the age of 39.

Tastemaker Gilles Peterson has dubbed them “the future of house music”. Led by drummer/vocalist Christian Urich, delivering four-on-the-floor beats topped by a Maxwell-like falsetto, this band plays seamless club classics, always with poppy hooks.

“Hot For Your Love Tonight”, the band’s third album, opens with the ultra cool “I’ll Be There For You”. Other highlights include the deep house of “Don’t Lead Me On” and the handclap-catchy title cut, both of which are co-written by bass player Jordan Scannella.

“I Know What’s On Your Mind” was written and co-produced by Christian and Ethan with South Africa’s house music legend Black Coffee, and the Chic-like “Can’t Keep Rhythm from A Dancer” has received airplay all over the world, including from the UK’s Jazz FM, BBC Radio 2 and Mi-Soul.

Tortured Soul never stop touring the world. In May 2015 they arrive in Europe for dates that include the Southport Weekender, London, Hamburg and Vienna. They are also regular visitors to South Africa and South East Asia.

MAKIN’ MOVES @ BEDROOM BAR (UPSTAIRS IN THE LOFT) SATURDAY 11TH APRIL

The Makin’ Moves team our back with their latest event back upstairs in the loft at Bedroom Bar in Shoreditch. We’ve always enjoyed the venue as a space having used it in the past with it’s great wooden floor and intimate feel, in addition it now has a new hot Turbo sound system to boot!

Residents Matt L-S and Jamesey continue to make their mark in the London soulful/deep house scene as Makin’ Moves enters into it’s third year always taking the crowd on a journey through the latest underground house sounds!  Dont forget you can now catch Matt L-S every Thursday night spinning live on HouseFm.net from 8pm.

Mark Francis our special guest has become a force to be reckoned with. An avid music listener and collector, he studied the artistry of the insanely talented DJs that influenced his career such as Tyrone Francis, Timmy Regisford, and Jihad Muhammad. Mark developed his own niche; an innate ability to ride and blend tracks that take the dancer on a rhythmic journey. Since 2008, he’s been a member of the Shelter family and you can find him djing regularly around the States and we are very happy to bring him to these shores for the first time!

On the production front Mark put out his first EP, ‘London Girl’s’ on London label Tribe Records late last year and has more EP’s which will be released this year plus a bunch of remixes for various labels, certainly a man to keep your eye on in 2015!
