A new, innovative and open-minded label set up by two of the UK’s rising stars in House music.
Danny Clark & Jay Benham's debut single as a production partnership - Wondrous - became one of the most successful House releases of 2008. Featuring SuSu Bobien’s earth-shattering vocals, it was first released on the legendary Strictly Rhythm imprint, licensed to Defected Records and featured thereafter on countless compilations worldwide.
After several high-profile releases on Hermoza, Jellybean Soul, Hed Kandi, Soundmen On Wax, Subversive and Kings Of Groove, to name but a few, Danny & Jay now bring you a label of their own with one simple goal: to deliver quality House music with no boundaries, from only the hottest and most respected artists & producers on the scene today.
"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'." Mike Fossati www.spiritofhouse.com
The new Ibex EP on Juicy Lucy Records, "Until I leave Detroit," is inspired by Ibex's relentless quest for new and provocative sounds. The four songs have very different feelings behind them, but all have that recognizable Ibex vibe… Enjoy!
