Danny Clark & Jay Benham Featuring Carla Prather
Into You


IYcovercrop.jpg


"It is hard to live up to expectations after having a world wide club hit such as "Conqueror", but Danny Clark and Jay Benham surely do not disappoint with their follow up - quite the contrary - they impress and amaze us with "Into you", which features deeply felt vocals by the one and only Carla Prather.

The Original mix exudes phat keys and chords over a relentlessly thumpin' backing. DJ Spen & The MuthaFunkaz inject the track with their trademark smooth Baltimore house vibe, while Alex Finkin & Reverend P's organic interpretation features delicious instrumentation. For a hypnotic underground workout look no further than the Ray Jones remix. The package is completed with a 'Dub Mix', 'Raw Mix' and the beautiful piano-pella called 'Ivory Mix' by Danny & Jay."

"This is the first release on the label and there are no holds barred as a stellar cast have been brought together for this project. Danny and Jay were the men behind last year’s aptly named “Wondrous” with Su Su Bobien, and fans of that release are set to be equally delighted with “Conqueror”. Dawn Tallman on vocals needs little or no introduction, having featured on some of the best known labels all over the world since her debut back in 1994.

The package includes remixes from producers at the very top of their game in the shape of Alix Alvarez, Frankie Feliciano, Guy Robin, not to mention two further mixes from Jay and Danny. Every time I think I’ve picked out a favourite mix, one of the other mixes grabs my attention again and I’m back to square one. This is soulful house music of the very highest calibre and a wonderful way to get the label off the ground, (no pun intended)."

"'Wondrous', Danny Clark & Jay Benham's debut as a production duo, took the dance floors by storm last year and has been a favourite with many DJ's to this day. Now they are about to launch their own label Solid Ground Recordings, and the first release on the label is nothing less than a masterpiece.

On 'Conqueror', Danny & Jay team up with the one and only Dawn Tallman who contributes an outstanding heartfelt vocal on the funk-soaked, fierce yet smooth production that oozes with jazzy piano and marvellous organs. Alix Alvarez reworks the track into a deep, remorselessly thumpin' affair featuring lush keys and chords, while Frankie Feliciano delivers a relentless bouncy version full of delicious melodies and killer jazzy keys. Next you have the organic, jazz-funk fuelled interpretation by Guy Robin, followed by the deep infectious late night 'ReVamp Dub Mix'."

Danny Clark & Jay Benham Ft Susu Bobien - Wondrous - The Remixes

Released 1st September 2008

On Strictly Rhythm


"The wonderful Su Su Bobien's return to Strictly Rhythm was a celebratory moment for lovers of a top notch vocal workout. Among their sophisticated number is a certain David Penn who liked 'Wondrous' so much he couldn't help but knock up a couple of mixes of his own; we liked their stripped-down, sinewy, percussive vibes so much we had to put them out - and there's a nice juicy cherry on top in the shape of a luxurious, organ-rich Deep Dub from Danny and Jay. Raise your hands."

Danny Clark & Jay Benham Ft Susu Bobien - Wondrous

Released 28th April 2008

On Strictly Rhythm


"Flying the flag for British producers, Danny Clark and Jay Benham team up with the wondrous songstress that is Su Su Bobien for a fantastic vocal house workout. The main mix crams the full range of tricks into it, from nifty organ lines and funky licks to a killer bassline and a storming vocal from Ms Bobien, to fully immerse yourself into. For the dub, the boys take things a touch deeper, and with extra mixes still to come from DJ Spen amongst others, and talk of a major UK license for the track, this is destined for big things in 2008."
