Her powerful vocal talents have led her to high profile collaborations with the likes of Armand Van Heldon on the massively successful 'My My My Functuary', as well as 'Feel The Vibe' by Axwell. Both of these floorfillers proved to be big hits too entering straight in at number 1 in the club charts, and also achieving the feat of crossover success in the UK commercial charts by reaching number 12 and 16 respectively. Not just a songstress, but talented song writer too. Tara began her trade co-writing for Irish boy band D-side on their debut single 'Stronger Than Ever' which reached number 5 in Ireland, and became the title song of their album.

She has performed as a backing dancer for pop acts in various videos and for TV and live appearances proving her heart was always in music from an early age. Tara McDonalds club and chart success in the music industry has given her a nationwide and international profile too. The demand for her has led to live PA's up and down the country and across Europe too, with forth coming dates in Paris and Poland to name but a few. Not one to sit back on her success; Tara's current project, together with a house music all-star cast production team of Todd Terri, Kenny Dope and DJ Sneak is the track 'Get Down' and will be released on the freshly re-launched legendary label Strictly Rhythm.

In what we believe to be a first in house music, MN2S are proud to present a new digital compilation series, which we've craftily titled 'MN2S Presents...' Available in download-only format via www.mn2s.com or www.itunes.com, each 'MN2S Presents...' release will feature the work of one of our key artists, and basically include everything they've put out on our label, so if you've missed out on any MN2S twelves, now's your chance to catch up! The first artists to be showcased in this pioneering new series will be those hottest of new kids on the house music block, The Jinks. The Jinks made their debut on MN2S with 'Love Like This' in 2005; since then, subsequent releases 'Inamorata', 'Believe Me' and the recent groover 'Cecilia' have proved firm favourites with the world's top house DJs and featured on countless compilations. 'MN2S Presents... The Jinks' will feature every mix of every track the duo have recorded for us, making this one download no self-respecting house lover will want to miss. It's available from the third week in June. Subsequent 'MN2S Presents...' issues will come from leading New York producer Jon Cutler, and Danism, AKA the London-based duo of Dan Gresham and Dan Liquid. Go on, give your iPod a treat! 2007-06-05 news271 http://www.mn2s.com MN2S are back! Following the huge success of recent singles by Liquid Peoples' Danism Project and The Jinks, the London-based label returns with a modern-day House classic Baltimore's finest, DJ Spen, and world-renowned vocalist Robert Owens link for 'A Greater Love', an uplifting, spiritual and DEEP Gospel House stormer that is destined to become a mainstay in boxes worldwide following its release on MN2S on 11th June! This single has 'Classic' written all over it. Featuring Robert Owens' unmistakeable voice, DJ Spen's unrivalled production abilities, Reel People and Mike Patto on keys and renowned songbird Vanessa Freeman on backing vocals, 'A Greater Love' is one of those rare House singles which, the moment heard, will never, ever be forgotten. As Spen explains, the idea for the single came about while in the studio. 'Robert expressed that he had never once done a Gospel-styled track and that he was interested in doing one,' he said. 'Mike started playing around on the keys while Robert was singing and I was like 'Wow'; one thing lead to another and we had it.' 'I'm one of those producers that likes a flow and this song is just that, an amazing flow of lyrics and instrumentation. Mad props to Mike and Robert; I was just the guy that put it all together at the end of a great session!' 'A Greater Love' is the latest success for DJ Spen. The well-respected American talent has been an influential and hugely-successful member of the global House fraternity for more than 20 years. Whether through his uplifting work with Jasper Street Co. and respected imprint Basement Boys, his remixes for the likes of Everything But The Girl and Diana Ross or through his most recent work as part of the Muthafunkaz and through other cuts showcased on his own Code Red imprint, Spen is one DJ-producer at the top of his game. Similarly, Robert Owens has been variously described as a 'rare gift' and 'the greatest male voice in House music' since bursting onto the Chicago House scene in the late 1980s. The multi-talented singer, songwriter, producer and DJ has appeared on and contributed to scores of critically-acclaimed productions by the likes of Cold Cut, London Elektricity and Michael Watford and has worked with the likes of Larry Heard, Sandy Rivera, Quentin Harris, Sir Piers and many more. His performance on 'A Greater Love' is yet another triumph, and can perhaps best be summed up by a recent quote by ID-J magazine, which declared 'If God could sing, he would sound like Robert Owens'. Don't miss this seminal new release from Milk'n'2 Sugars.

Neither artist should need any introduction to visitors to this website. Sanchez is, of course, one of the worldwide house scene's biggest superstars. Making his debut with Underground Solution's 'Luv Dancin' on Strictly Rhythm in 1990, this former architecture student from New York has been a key player on the global house stage ever since, and is one of the few straight-up house artists to have topped the UK charts (with 'Another Chance' in 2001). The UK's own ATFC is no stranger to the Top 40, either, having scored hits with the likes of 'Bad Habit', 'In And Out Of My Life' and 'Sleep Talk'. To catch Aydin's 40-minute mix, tune in to the S-Man's show on Tuesday May 26 from 11pm to 1am, either on your local Galaxy station or live over the internet via www.digitalgalaxy.co.uk. 2007-05-04 news261 http://www.mn2s.com Thanks to all who made our 12th Birthday Party at The End such a success! We'd like to thank everyone who made our 12th Birthday celebrations at The End last Friday such a success! Over 1200 people swarmed to the London club, and such was the turnout that we were forced to operate a one-in, one-out policy from 12:30am! Inside, House heads were treated to a first class Birthday lineup (did you expect anything less from MN2S') that featured several different, but no less banging, styles of House. In the Bar, The Jinks warmed the crowd up nicely before Dave Jones stepped up at midnight, paving the way for Joey Negro, who played a fantastic three-hour set featuring some of his trademark disco influences. Danism closed off the Bar from 4:00am, and can lay claim to the best track reaction of the night when Joey Negro, The Jinks and the two boys themselves played their storming new MN2S single - 'One Life' - featuring Lisa Millett. As Dan Liquid explains, both he and Dan Nu:Tone enjoyed the party immensely. 'I loved smashing the Bar as part of another legendary End party with MN2S; happy birthday guys!' In the Main Room meanwhile, MN2S resident CJ Mackintosh was, as usual, right on point, selecting the perfect mix of upfront bombs and gems from yesteryear to get the crowd in the mood early on. He paved the way for Michael Gray at 1:00am and the former Full Intention member delivered a slightly tougher, electro-tinged set which set the scene perfectly for Dutch super-producer and man of the moment Fedde Le Grand to step up to the decks at 3:00am. Starting off his set with his UK Chart sensation 'The Creeps' featuring Camille Jones, Fedde launched into a deep and at times tribal-edged set, and one which had the Main Room crowd in a frenzy. Thanks again to everyone who made our 12th Birthday such a memorable one. We'll be posting photos and the hot video from this night on MN2S.com shortly, so look out for it! For those who missed out last Friday, never fear! We'll be invading The End once again on Friday 29 June, this time with Big Love's Seamus Haji, Nick 'Bodyrox' Bridges, New York legends Blaze and all three MN2S residents in tow.

The release of 'Cecilia' continues The Jinks' steady rise to the heights of the international House heap. Having enjoyed worldwide success on the back of their first three singles on MN2S - critically-acclaimed productions that were remixed by the likes of Jay-J, DJ Spen, Jamie Lewis and Liquid People - Chris Gau and Dan Savidge are still enjoying the success of their Sole Music-released single 'Brazilla' and the MN2S residents and MN2S Masterclass Radio hosts continue to wow crowds throughout the UK and Europe with their energetic DJ sets. Matthias 'Matty' Heilbronn meanwhile continues to impress after more than 15 years on the scene. His releases on labels including suSU, Atal, Papa, Satoshi Tomiie's Saw imprint, Francois K's Wave Music, Prog City Deep, Chez, Distant Music and Joey Negro's Z Records have demonstrated this New Yorker's enduring appeal to House Heads worldwide and his mixes of 'Cecilia' are consistent with his position as one of THE big names in world house.

Looking to keep things fresh and funky this year, MN2S are extremely proud to welcome MN2S label favourites The Jinks as new hosts of the monthly Masterclass show. As one of the fastest-rising production duos in the UK, The Jinks have received worldwide acclaim for their blend of funky soulful house showcased both in their DJ sets from Hong Kong to Ibiza and through their original productions released on MN2S and Sole Music. No strangers to radio, both Chris Gau and Dan Savidge earned their stripes while in Manchester in the late 1990s, where they set up their own pirate station, Twist FM. Now, looking to step things up a notch as MN2S Masterclass Radio hosts, listeners can look forward to hearing The Jinks in their element! Since launching in early 2006, MN2S Masterclass Radio has fast become one of the most popular and 'straight up' specialist House radio shows on the airwaves. Produced by Wise Buddah - producers of several acclaimed programs on BBC's Radio 1 - Masterclass Radio has shone through its commitment to playing only the freshest House, while its popular segments including The Verdict and DJ On The Move have seen the show carve a niche for itself in an increasingly saturated market. Guests who appeared on MN2S Masterclass Radio in 2006 read like a 'who's who' of the international House set. Tony Humphries, Joey Negro, Mousse T., Michael Gray, Alix Alvarez, Tom Novy ATFC, CJ Mackintosh, Sir Piers, Timmy Vegas, Barbara Tucker, Grant Nelson, Marshall Jefferson, Nick 'Bodyrox' Bridges and countless other high-profile DJ-producers appeared on the show. In 2007 nothing will change and MN2S will once again draw on its extensive Artist Roster to appear on and contribute to the monthly show. MN2S continues to build on its burgeoning reputation as one of the global house music industry's shining lights. Watch out for MN2S Masterclass Radio, stirring up the airwaves in 2007!

MN2S would like to thank everyone who braved long lines outside Opium last Friday to enjoy our third annual Miami WMC event. An excited crowd swarmed to the Miami club to enjoy sets from some of House Music's biggest names. House pioneers Blaze and Jamie Lewis were joined by Hardsoul and rising New York star Alix Alvarez in The Opium Lounge while, in the Opium Garden, House fans were treated to upfront sets by the likes of Fedde le Grand, Seamus Haji, Tom Novy, Bodyrox and Joe T Vannelli. The hype for our party had been winging its way around the world for weeks beforehand and, judging by the roadblock outside Opium Garden, it was once again a highlight of the annual industry event. Those at Opium were among the first to hear exclusive previews of forthcoming MN2S tracks including 'One Life' by Liquid Peoples' Danism Project featuring Lisa Millett and 'Greater Love', our Gospel-House masterpiece by Robert Owens & DJ Spen. MN2S would also like to apologise to the hundreds of House music lovers who didn't gain entry last Friday. MN2S Director Sharron Elkabas said: Due to circimstances beyond our control, the club's capacity was limited by 350 and because of the size of our guestlist unfortunately this meant not everyone could get in. It was always our intention to admit everyone on the guest list but we reached full capacity at midnight and from that point on it was a one-in, one-out policy.' Apologies for any disapointment caused and we hope to see you on the dancefloor at future MN2S Events. Thanks again to all who helped us dance the night away; we'll be posting the photos and video of this great night up on MN2S.com shortly.

The London-based crew have been scouring their vaults and have come up with not one, not two, but THREE previously un-released remixes of classic MN2S tunes, certain to become mainstays in DJ boxes following their release on 2nd April! Toolroom Records chief Mark Knight and Dutchman MTV once again link with renowned vocalist E-Man for another huge remix of 'A New Reality', Liquid Peoples' Danism Project demonstrate their production prowess with an 'Afterdark Mix' of their recent club favourite 'LSD', while New York's Jon Cutler and Michael Watford's House anthem 'Watcha Gonna Do' is given new life through a quality Dub Mix by rising British producer Soulworks. That's three tracks, three club favourites, culminating in an essential MN2S release! 'A New Reality' remains a firm favourite with House Heads two years after its original release on MN2S's sister label 1Trax. Recent remixes by Front Room Recordings' Jesse Rose, emerging Danish producer John Dahlback, the Lab Rats' Warren Clarke and Soularis have pushed this monster track into 'classic' territory and now, with featured vocalist E-Man getting busy in the studio and turning in his own Deep Dub, the sky is the limit! E-Man's Dub is, as it suggests, deep, down and bumpy, demonstrating the multi-talents of this celebrated Artist. With E-Man's seminal spoken-word vocal drifting in and out almost hypnotically, this one is strictly for late nights! Liquid Peoples' Danism Project meanwhile show no sign of slowing down in 2007. Still flying high on the back of their 2007 Miami WMC anthem - the MN2S-released 'One Life' featuring Lisa Millett - Dan Liquid, Conan Liquid and Dan Nu:Tone now deliver a tough 'Afterdark Mix' of their critically-acclaimed single 'LSD', released late last year on MN2S. The original has been hammered by everyone from Tony Humphries to Joey Negro and this latest mix, complete with tough acid bassline, is sure to follow suit! Rounding off this new MN2S package is Ben Smethurst, better known as soulful house producer Soulworks. Ben is no stranger to the MN2S stable either, having completed remixes for Brent Laurence's 2004 MN2S release 'Your Eyes' and, last year, a huge remix of Timmy Vegas and Barbara Tucker's Miami and Ibiza anthem 'Dutty Funk (We Can Do)'. His remix of 'Watcha Gonna Do' is a smooth, bumpy affair with a wicked saxophone solo and deep, melodic bass that works well with Michael Watford's beautiful vocals.

Rounding off this Birthday lineup will be MN2S residents Joey Negro, CJ Mackintosh and The Jinks, ensuring yet another capacity crowd at the celebrated London club!

Now, with this mammoth lineup confirmed to invade The End on Friday 27 April, MN2S are set to throw one hell of a birthday bash! Fedde Le Grand needs little introduction. The Dutch DJ-producer's star has scaled unbelievable heights in the last 12 months, first with the worldwide #1 single 'Put Your Hands Up For Detroit', then with the Defected-released singles 'Take No Shhhhh' and 'Ah Yeah'. Fedde has just made it four hits in a row with 'The Creeps' - his collaboration with Danish vocalist Camille Jones - which is currently cemented in the UK Top 10 Singles charts. The Dutchman is on a golden run at the moment and his upfront Main Room set should not be missed!

MN2S are extremely proud to announce that world-beating DJ-production duo Bodyrox and Dutch man of the moment Fedde Le Grand have both been nominated for awards in the International Dance Music Awards, to take place during the Miami Winter Music Conference later this month. The MN2S-managed artists will both fight it out for the Best Breaks/Electro Track award, while Fedde Le Grand is also nominated in the Best Underground Dance Track and Best Solo Breakthrough Artist categories. For Bodyrox, their nomination for 'Yeah Yeah' is the icing on the cake for one of 2006's biggest crossover tracks. What began as one of the biggest tunes at last year's Miami Winter Music Conference slowly developed into the dancefloor monster that is it today. Picking up early support from the likes of Pete Tong, Erick Morillo, Judge Jules, Dave Pearce, Fergie, Annie Nightingale and the Trophy Twins on BBC Radio One alone, 'Yeah Yeah' was hammered in clubs for months before ex-Portobella singer Luciana laid down her feisty punk vocals on the track and it blew up worldwide. The single debuted at #2 in the official UK Top 40 Charts in October 2006 and remained in the Top Ten for several weeks, beaten only to the #1 spot by another of 2006's big crossover tracks, Fedde Le Grand's 'Put Your Hands Up For Detroit'. Similarly, the Dutch man has scaled unbelievable heights throughout the past 12 months with his worldwide #1 single 'Put Your Hands Up For Detroit'. Follow ups including the Defected-released 'Take No Shhhhh' and 'Ah Yeah' have done similarly well, while Fedde has just made it four hits in a row with 'The Creeps' - his collaboration with Danish vocalist Camille Jones - which is currently cemented in the UK Top 10 Singles charts. MN2S wish both Bodyrox and Fedde Le Grand all the best at the International Dance Music Awards next month!

Over the past 11 years, Milk 'n' 2 Sugars have held hundreds of packed club events in cities around the world, wowing crowds in Miami, Ibiza, London, Amsterdam, Dubai and Brighton to name just a few. MN2S will create a world-first by holding the first ever virtual House club night on global 3D virtual world Second Life! Appearing at Aerolite - the online community's biggest electronic club - on Friday 5 January will be none other than UK House and Garage legend and MN2S London and Ibiza resident CJ Mackintosh, who will be joined by MN2S support DJs, ensuring a night like no other! MN2S's first ever virtual club event will benefit from MN2S's impressive event production, including full MN2S club dressing. Additionally, CJ's appearance at Aerolite will be promoted extensively throughout Second Life in the form of virtual billboards, flyers, radio support and street press. MN2S's first foray into the world of virtual club events is the next step in the MN2S brand's successful re-positioning in an increasingly 'digital' market. With worldwide vinyl sales shrinking, digital downloading on the rise and the internet now an essential part of daily life, MN2S are remaining at the forefront of the global House Music world by becoming the first dance music brand to hold a 'virtual' event on Second Life, which is inhabited by more than 1,730,000 people. This, in addition to MN2S's already strong presence on digital download sites including Traxsource, I-Tunes, Beatport and widespread presence on the internet, points towards an exciting new era of digital 'virtual' House Music which MN2S is extremely proud to be contributing to. Since opening to the public in 2003, Second Life has grown explosively. The 3D virtual world is entirely built and owned by its residents and there is no end to the vast digital continent or opportunities afforded to users. Using the in-world currency - the Linden dollar - residents can buy real estate, gamble at casinos, go to the movies and effectively establish their own 'Second Life'. Additionally, there are sports, games, discussion groups, arts and support groups online and, because Linden dollars can be converted into US dollars at any number of online currency exchanges, there is the opportunity to combine both 'lives' into successful business ventures; the Second Life 'Marketplace' currently supports millions of US dollars in monthly transactions. MN2S are extremely excited to be touching down at Aerolite on Friday 5 January for the first EVER virtual House club event on Second Life! With CJ Mackintosh and MN2S support DJs in tow, make no mistake, this is 'virtually' going to get 2007 started with one hell of a bang!

All Fedde’s UK DJ bookings will now be handled exclusively by MN2S while, worldwide, Fedde will remain on the MN2S Artist Roster on a non-exclusive basis, excluding USA, South America and Holland. The Dutch-based Fedde le Grand has enjoyed worldwide acclaim in 2006 on the back of his worldwide crossover hit ‘Put Your Hands Up For Detroit’. With its simple bassline and filthy hooks, this wonderfully infectious anthem has been championed by the likes of Radio 1’s Pete Tong - who described it as his ‘biggest record of the summer’ - Annie Mac, Zane Lowe and Jo Whiley. Since it surfaced on CR2 records early this year, the single has been hammered in clubs worldwide, picking up support from the likes of Groove Armada’s Tom Findlay, Roger Sanchez, Deep Dish, Sander Kleinenberg and Tom Novy. The crowning glory came just last month when it debuted at #1 in the UK Singles Charts, instantly establishing itself as 2006’s biggest crossover club track. It remains in the UK Top Ten right now and, with Eminem's D12 collective releasing a hip-hop flavoured remix in early 2007, the sky is the limit for this massive single! Fedde is no newcomer to the house scene however; he has been producing since 2001 and has released a stream of successful original productions and remixes on labels including CR2, Mark Knight’s Toolroom Records, Defected, Sander Kleinenberg’s Little Mountain Recordings and Antoine Claraman’s Influence and is currently putting the finishing touches to a raft of new remixes for labels including Spinnin', Hardsoul Pressings, Data and CR2.

Featuring the vocals of world-famous vocalist Shena and to be released on Data in March 2007, ‘Guilty’ has been hammered on BBC Radio 1 for several weeks now, picking up support from Pete Tong and earning his coveted Essential New Tune accolade in the process. It is currently sitting pretty at #4 in the Cool Cuts Chart, and is growing bigger and bigger with each passing week with its uplifting strings ad brass disco groove! The single is the debut from the South London-based De Souza, headed by multi-instrumentalist Chris Morris. A regular on the touring and session circuit, Chris Morris has played alongside such luminaries as Otis Reading Jr., Eddie Floyd and Judge Jules whilst also writing and producing music for TV and film. Chris is supported in the studio by friend Chris Allen.

Coming to prominence initially through programming and co-producing the multi-platinum selling and Grammy nominated debut album by Sonique, Chris Allen is probably one of the UK’s most in-demand young mix engineers. Contributing vocals on this massive single is UK-based Shena, whose impressive discography includes the Azuli-released smash ‘Electrosexual’, Michael Gray’s UK Top 10 hit ‘The Weekend’ and other singles with Full Intention, Soul Avengerz and many others. The Live PA includes Shena performing ‘Guilty’ as well as several other tracks from her extensive discography.

Liquid People's Danism Project come correct with the 'Afterdark EP', a double A side package featuring 'LSD' and 'Kooper's Troopers', the first two singles of a 3 single deal the pair signed with MN2S in September. Long known for their soulful house productions, including two highly-acclaimed singles on MN2S - 'Inside My Soul' and the #1 Hype Chart smash 'Glance Look Stare' featuring Monique Bingham - Dan Liquid and Dan Nutone now make a marked departure from their soulful sounds of the past and delve into the depths of slightly more dark and driving house. The result is 'LSD', an expertly-produced peak time bomb drawing inspiration from the James Bond theme and a track which has already received support from several world-leading tastemaker DJs. Featuring a pounding, relentless bassline laid over crisp beats, 'LSD' benefits from Danism's tight production ability and, put simply, is upfront, forward-thinking House Music at its very best. Danism's Dan Liquid said of the track: 'It's definitely a track which is a bit more leftfield. Using Dan Nutone's Drum'n'Bass roots, we're making a foray into the slightly harder side of House and this is the result'. 'It's not a conscious thing we've done but we're just developing; we feel the scene is changing and so we're changing with it.' 'Kooper's Troopers' is a perfect example of Danism's ability to adapt to the changing House scene. Named after the infamous Sergeant Kooper who kept prisoners sedated at his Parkhurst Prison on the Isle Of Wight, 'Kooper's Troopers' is a dark, tech-edged affair that, similar to 'LSD', showcases a new and altogether exciting sound from Danism and one that promises to be hugely successful following its release in December on MN2S. Don't miss Danism's 'Afterdark EP' featuring 'LSD' and 'Kooper's Troopers', out 11 December on MN2S! 2006-11-08 news24 http://www.mn2s.com One of the UK's most hard-working DJ duos and arguably the busiest production outfit of 2006 will now take all its DJ bookings through MN2S! : MN2S are extremely proud to annouce that Paul Gardner and Wayne O'Connell, better known as world-beating DJ-production duo Soul Avengerz, have signed exclusively with MN2S.

MN2S’s ADE party was arguably the most heavily-attended event of the Saturday night program, no small feat considering the number of other high-profile parties taking place on the night. The eclectic mix of industry press, Dutch locals and international house fans who turned out resulted in an electric atmosphere and yet another hugely successful MN2S event! The video from the night will be posted up on MN2S.com in the coming days. Once again, thanks to all who made our ADE event such a big success! 2006-09-22 news5 http://www.mn2s.com The second instalment in MN2S's Masterclass series is about to drop!-Click for more info! 'A selection of the finest upfront and classic soulful house grooves brought to you by one of New York's Original House Music Pioneers.' Hot on the heels of Mousse T.’s fantastic debut on Masterclass #01 comes the second instalment in MN2S’s new compilation series, mixed by none other than seminal New-York DJ-producer Tony Humphries. The Masterclass series captures the essence of a perfect night out, where outstanding music is an essential ingredient. Masterclass #02 sees this philosophy develop as Tony Humphries – a globally-recognised House heavyweight - takes you on a journey from packed club dancefloor to early-hours afterparty. Through his own Tony Records label, and earlier through his hugely successful Yellorange imprint, Tony Humphries has been an influential and larger-than-life figure on the international house music scene for over 20 years. As well as mixing compilations for Southport Weekender, Fabric, Strictly Rhythm and Tribal UK, Tony has released a stream of successful remixes on labels including Atlantic, Columbia and Azuli. He is widely regarded as one of the most consistent and innovative DJ-Producers in the world, as projects for the likes of Mass Order, Chaka Khan, Deee-Lite, the Sugarcubes and Janet Jackson have demonstrated. Tony brings a wealth of experience to this second Masterclass release, letting his eclectic musical tastes shine through on a no-holds-barred club mix and then on a more adventurous after-party mix.

One of the most innovative and consistent production duos on the soulful house scene, Liquid People’s Danism project has impressed on the back of a string of high-quality remixes and original productions, including two highly-acclaimed singles on MN2S, ‘Inside My Soul’ and last year’s Hype Chart #1, ‘Glance Look Stare’ featuring Monique Bingham. The two met in a pub in Cambridge several years ago when Dan Nutone was fast becoming one of the biggest names in drum’n’bass. Signed to London Elektricity’s Hospital Records - arguably the UK’s biggest DNB label - Dan had recently released his first album. Dan Liquid meanwhile, as one half of Liquid People, was producing banging soulful house together with partner Conan Liquid on labels including Defected, Yellow Productions and Nebula. Nutone had heard several Liquid People tracks and was eager to produce his own soulful house; suddenly the seeds of a successful collaborative partnership were sown as the two Dans resolved to work together. The rest, as they say, is history and now, with three more singles slated for release on MN2S in the coming months, Danism look set to continue their assault on dancefloors worldwide! Dan Liquid said of the deal: ‘We’re very pleased to be working this 3 single deal with MN2S. We’ve always worked well with the Milk’n’2 crew in the past and are looking forward to releasing some more great music on a great label. Watch out for the first single when it hits the clubs; we feel it’s really one of our biggest tracks so far!’ Stay tuned to MN2S.com for updates on the release of the already hugely anticipated first Danism single! 2006-09-22 news9 http://www.mn2s.com The SOLE Channel Music main man is set to unleash three original productions on MN2S!!-Click for more info!
