Mo' Horizons enter their seventh album chapter and celebrate 25 years of their exultant and globally enriched, forward-thinking, electronic sound. Featuring a cast of guest singers, including Ghanaian legend Gyedu-Blay Ambolley, Mango is a fiery and sample-heavy blend of future-funk, balearic, highlife, Brazilian drum 'n bass and lo-fi hip hop, set to be released on their long-standing label Agogo Records. Familiar and warming sounds pervade Mango; the call of the Brazilian cuica, the snapping snares, rolling breakbeats, swooning sax licks, and dreamy beach vibrations. Yet there are brand new tricks; on "Havanna B-Boys" Arthur Lee's gravelly voice is sampled whilst a frenetic funk-ridden groove pulses, and the mesmeric vocal samples from Anglo-Portuguese singer Guida de Palma feature on opener "Anotha Bossa." Both shine as the album's singles. Outside Ambolley's contribution, further collabs sees Mo' Horizons reconnect with Venezuelan percussionist Nené Vásquez, Colombian singer Ivan Camelo, Hannover based, Israeli singer Noam Bar Azulay, and Spanish singer Laura Insausti. Spanning over three decades, German DJ and production duo Mo' Horizons, led by Ralf Droesemeyer and Mark Wetzler have been a relentless force on the global groove scene. For 25 years, the pair have continued to grow their international audiences, testament to remaining on-point, ignoring the fashion and tribalism of scenes like big beat and broken beat, that thrived but then morphed and went off radar. Also featuring The Maasai Tribe Of Tanzania.

Double LP version. Now, in the twentieth year of their existence, there cannot be a better title for the new album by Mo'Horizons, Music Sun Love. Let it be Latin, soul reggae, cumbia, samba or music from the Balkans, Mo'Horizons are cultural travelers and feel at home where music is alive. Over the years the duo toured the world. For Music Sun Love they re-reconnected with a lot of the musicians they met on their ongoing journey. The albums kicks off with "Wagabunga Dance", a collaboration with Stoyan Royanov from Bulgaria. The multi-instrumental talent is a member of the Mo'Horizons Soundsystem. "Rhythm Is A Dancer" was recorded in Columbia with local musicians and you may have guessed it by now, it is Mo'Horizons' interpretation of the Eurodance classic by Snap!, adding even more rhythm, fire, and emotion to turn it into a Cumbia burner. Mo'Horizons move on with "Mo Space" and "Hang Loose", recorded together with hangdrum virtuoso Patrik from the Czech Republic. The first single "You Gotta Know It" is one these Mo'Horizons sure shots, an irresistibly driving rhythm with a catchy chorus sung by Noam Bar from Israel. Which brings in Mr. Morski from Bulgaria, another global mover. "Little Mouse" is his kind of theme tune, recorded with a lot of charm and even more fun. "La Vida Es Solo Hoy" adds Ivan Camelo from Columbia to the impressive line-up. He played with Mo'Horizons for the first time in 2017 rocking the Gran Baba, the Horizons' favorite Chiringuito hang-out in Spain, with his unique vocal stylings. "Ella Dice" takes Music Sun Love back home, re-uniting the team with Nené Vasquez from Venezuela who adds a vibrant live feeling to the track. The list of international guests is endless. "Gypsy Ghetto Feel" gets a groovy boost by percussionist Elvis Aljus, aka Gypsy Brown, who is an integral member of Australian funk favorites The Bamboos' rhythm section and often joins Mo'Horizons when they tour down under. Noam Bar returns for the vocal part, adding a cross cultural soul feeling to this Israeli-Australian groove venture. "Inner Melody" closes Music Sun Love in style. It is an unreleased Mo'Horizons remix of the reggae original by Greek DJ colleague Palov turned into a very '60s sounding club track. Also features Connección Bogotá and Tricky Pantrick.
