Juan Hoerni - Lost Tracks Vol II (Cha Cha Project Recordings)

Juan Hoerni returns with his acclaimed soulful house imprint, the Los Angeles-based Cha Cha Project Recordings, to unearth another set of top-notch house music tunes. Lost Tracks Vol II brings together three floor-primed solo tracks from Juan and three collaborations with names to those familiar with the Cha Cha family. The release begins with one of those collabs, the uplifting "Winter Love Affair" featuring the vocalist Chezere (Vega Records, Large Music). Chunky piano chords, a low-key disco beat, and exquisite live instrumentation brilliant back Chezere's emotional performance. The sweet, gospel-inflected tones of in-demand singer Maurice Smith can be heard on the lush and vibrant "Let Me Explore" as well as "Dani," remixed here with a tribal flavor by legendary New Jersey producer Jovonn (Body N’ Deep). Juan's three cuts are likewise as impressive, from the strutting Tenaglia-influenced vocal house of "Got Some Time" to the Latin-fueled deepness of "Deep Rumble" to "I Am the One" and its swinging ode to old school speech house. All these cuts are sublime and sophisticated, ready and waiting for DJs and home listening alike.

Juan Hoerni ft. Maurice Smith - Fantasy (Cha Cha Project Recordings)

The latest single on Cha Cha Project Recordings finds three of the label’s returning house music champions on the soulful funk gem “Fantasy.” Los Angeles’s house music maestro Juan Hoerni has collaborated once again with the accomplished, in-demand vocalist Maurice Smith. For “Fantasy,” the singer blends his gospel-influenced vocal stylings with a catchy and smooth ‘80s flavor featuring keys by Scott Wozniak.
