Out Now:
Danny Clark & Jay Benham Ft. Dawn Tallman
Conqueror
"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
Danny Clark, Jay Benham & Michelle Weeks - Hold On
"Danny Clark & Jay Benham know a thing or two about divas. They have already made quite a name for themselves with amazing productions such as “Wondrous” featuring Su Su Bobien and “Attracted To You” featuring Angie Brown. Now this incredible team come together once more to create a beautiful blend of Soul, Jazz, Funk & Disco and then mix in powerhouse Michelle Weeks, the voice behind mega-hits such as “The Light”, “Peace”, “Be Thankful” and most recently Halo & Kemal’s new song “Come Together”. Simply an amazing record!"
"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."
"It's that time of year again for the sun soaked parties on the island of Ibiza and Hermosa Recordings has just the record for the occasion.
Danny Clark & Jay Benham are back again after releasing their top charter "Wondrous" on the well respected Strictly Rhythm imprint.
Only this time with the original south London girl, Angie Brown, on vocals."
"After the successful releases on Strictly Rhythm ‘Wondrous’ and Kings of Groove ‘Sheen’, Danny Clark & Jay Benham are back with a vengeance delivering a sizzling hot remix package of the Ibiza smash hit ‘Body and Soul ft Andrea Love’. Just in time for the summer season this remix package is set to blow up the soulful dance floors."
"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. (Curtis Zack)"
Andy Holder drops his 3rd offering on Soulfunk Digital.
And continuing the quality production, he serves up a tasty number that should get any body movin'. Dope beats, ass shakin' bass lines & grooves to move the party right!! With strong support from leading industry DJs & producers, this is destined to do the business through the winter months & onwards.
