MOVEMENT 2: THERAPY MANILA FEAT. JOJO FLORES @ TIME IN MANILA

No, I am not talking about any medical-related therapy here... I speak of the music therapy session of Dj Jojo Flores for Manila on April 30, 2011. Therapy is an underground music that goes beyond providing a remedy. It is a cure.... luscious and profound, Therapy offers refuge, unity and pride! Since 1999, Therapy has been the purveyor of soulful music through garage, deep house and afro-latino rhythms.

This Saturday, April 30 at TIME, 7840 Makati Avenue, Manila, Philippines is one hell of a gig that house music lovers shouldn't miss! MOVEMENT will be presenting a night of the next-level quality in club music sound.  Sweet and soulful melodies, profound and jazzy vibes are what you can expect from this internationally-acclaimed DJ, Jojo Flores.


Dj Jojo Flores is a world-renowned Dj/Producer who was voted as Stylus House Dj of the Year, New York Underground Archives Best International Dj for four years. More known as New York City's Best International Dj, the boundlessness of his skills does not go unnoticed in Montreal, Canada (his home town) where he won Montreal's 1998 Best Club Dj Sounds of Blackness Award and has been consistently rated as one of Montreal's Top 3 DJs for three years in a row!

Considered as an ambassador of Montreal's soulful dance music and the city's hottest deep house garage export, this guy has established honorary residencies in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Toronto.

Here's a little more on Dj Jojo Flores... the guy is the inventor, innovator, resident dj and founder of internationally renowned Therapy night which is Canada'’s longest running and most successful weekly Deep House Garage soirée.  He is also the CEO and A&R of Gotsoul Recordings (GOTSOUL... who hasn't heard about it here?!).  Gotsoul Recordings is a production company and recording label dedicated to the worldwide distribution of vinyl and CDs and was recently awarded the number one independent record label in Montreal.

The challenge of never knowing what to expect from a crowd is what consistently drives Jojo Flores to provide a  solid groove. And the world is unanimous: Jojo Flores has been booked for high profile events presented by Roots, UMM, M.A.C., The Montreal Jazz Festival of Lights, The Toronto Jazz Festival, NYC’s Pablo de Ritis of Wallpaper Magazine, Phat Farm, Bacardi and Hugo Boss. He has played at events attended and/or hosted by Reverend Run of Run DMC, Russell Simmons, Jody Watley, Samuel L. Jackson, Angelina Jolie, Prince Andrew, and Wesley Snipes.  Jojo Flores maintains his street credibility by jacking bodies both at high society gigs for places like Marquee(NYC) and at underground grass roots parties like “Bang the Party” (NYC) and “Deep” (LA). He has furthermore spun with heavyweight DJs Jazzy Jeff, “Little” Louie Vega, Kenny “Dope” Gonzalez, Blaze and Derrick Carter.

The reason for Jojo Flores'’ success is a simple ricochet effect... the love and support he receives keeps him going strong. Jojo Flores keeps the vibe alive with determination, passion, and the upstanding mission to touch the heart of the ones who love music as much as he does.

So what else should we expect on Therapy Manila? 3 levels of quality music, rooftop party, positive vibes, a night for the dancers & music connoisseurs. Supported by the best Djs in the Metro... Djs Kristian Hernandez (Heavy Boogie, Gotsoul Manila), Elian Habayeb (Music and Wine), Benjo Marquez and Mr. Marcus on Percussions (Tribomanila).

LAIDBACK LUKE LIVE AT REPUBLIQ 12.10.10.

Luke is laid back about everything except music. Since landing a new entry – 46 – in DJ magazine's Top 100 DJs Poll of 2008, it's clear that Holland's homeboy is on fire like never before. It's why he was selected to ignite the Stealth Live! CD series with a near perfect club mix. Why he was snapped up for a weekly Friday show by French station Radio FG. Why his own party, Super You&Me, is such a winner. Why he is bustin' up bassbins from Australia to the Americas – and ripping up a storm working with everyone from Diplo to Tiësto. Yes, Luke's stratospheric success befits his world-beating talents and is reaching new levels of hotness in 2009!

 

2009 is Luke's craziest year yet. His collaboration with the Swedish House Mafia, 'Leave The World Behind', was an Essential New Tune on Pete Tong's Miami show – and, as of July 2009, is Beatport's best-selling track of the year. His Super You&Me party at club Louis during WMC was also an incredible success, starring some sick tag-team antics from Diplo & A-Trak before Luke closed the show. Plus, Luke & Diplo have produced a dancefloor slayer called 'Hey' on Southern Fried. This is supported by DJs like Kissy Sell Out, on his Radio 1 show, where Luke's track with Lee Mortimer, 'Blau', received airplay. Naturally, Luke's remix talents are equally in demand – just see Martin Solveig's 'Boys & Girls' and MSTRKRFT featuring John Legend's 'Heartbreaker'. To top it off, he has remixed David Guetta and traded remixes with Tiësto. Meanwhile, Luke's own killer track 'My G*O*D* (My Guns On Demo)' is scorching floors, and he's always testing new artillery on his travels. Touring in 2009 has seen Luke continue to blaze a trail from Australia to Ibiza, where he played for David Guetta's Fuck Me I'm Famous party at Pacha, and with Roger Sanchez for Release Yourself at Amnesia. Further marking his transition to major league status, this year has also seen him nominated for best House DJ in Ibiza's DJ Awards.

 

Luke (Luke van Scheppingen) was born in Manila, Philippines, but grew up in the Netherlands. He loved guitars, graffiti, hip-hop and house, and found a mentor in Dobre (Chocolate Puma). He was just a teenager when he began producing, taking the 'laid back' tag from Snoop Dogg's 'Gin & Juice'. Yet by 1995 he was putting out tracks and from 96 was remixing for established artists, in addition to DJing professionally. Once beating a Dutch DMC champ in battle, Luke showed the world how he rolls: skilfully fusing an array of flavours, edits, bootlegs and a cappellas into a slick signature style. He even released an album, Psyched U, in 1999. But it wasn't until Virgin signed 'Rocking With The Best' and released his 2002 album, Electronic Satisfaction, that his profile soared. Luke's Dance Valley anthem, 'We Can Not Get Enough', then blew up. He also mixed his first compilation, Windmill Skill. His discography was therefore already looking prolific as he remixed Daft Punk (who were a huge early influence), Murk, Oliver Lieb and Tom Stephan. And to up the output in 2004, he introduced his own label, Mixmash.
