Juan Hoerni ft. Chezere - When You Smile (Cha Cha Project Recordings)

Juan Hoerni, the acclaimed and prolific Los Angeles-based soulful house music producer, reunites with vocalist Chezere for the uplifting floor-mover "When You Smile." Released on Juan's Cha Cha Project Recordings imprint, "When You Smile" melds crisp, disco drums, rousing keyboard riffs and chords, and an electrifying vocal performance from Chezere, drawing upon her history as vocalist with Urban Species (among many others). It's pure house music magic, available here in its original mix as well as a Wet Mix, giving Chezere voice some warehouse flavor.

The legendary DJ Spen (Basement Boys) joins the equally renowned Reelsoul (Sole Channel Music, MN2S) for a classy collaborative remix that demands hands in the air and feet on the dancefloor. Tight beats, string lines, vibraphone keys, and a dose of deep house bounce compliment Chezere's vocals with sultry sophistication. This one's ready to bring the soulful fire, from dimly lit lounges to sweaty nightclubs worldwide.

Juan Hoerni - Alguna Vez (Cha Cha Project Recordings)

“Alguna Vez” is the first single from Moving Mountains, the forthcoming full length album from Cha Cha Project’s Juan Hoerni. For this tune Juan teams up with the sensational Puerto Rican trumpet player David Soto, from Puerto Rico to create a peak time latin house banger. “Alguna Vez” brings moody deep montuno (a style of Cuban music) wrapped around a solid bass guitar, rousing percussion, rolling piano chords, and splashes of improvised vocal. It’s the perfect cut to close out the summer months. A pair of accomplished remixes take “Alguna Vez” to new heights: Foremost Poets deliver a propulsive bigCha  room version while Will “Reelsoul” Rodriguez presents a classic house music-style mix for the late night sessions. Both remixes also provide alternate mixes and dubs much to a DJ’s delight. “Alguna Vez” is here … be sure to give this one a spin.
