Seamless Recordings brings you the new album Somebodys Heaven from Venus In Motion.
Venus In Motion is the alter ego of Angel Johnson, a pioneering House Music DJ, who relocated to Barcelona from the UK with her studio in 2006. She began DJing in the early 90s, when only a hand-full of female DJs were spinning tunes at fledgling super clubs in the UK. Angel has travelled the globe delivering her blend of quality house music to the masses for more than twenty years.
As well as Angel's love of House she has always been passionate about the more down tempo, groovy, after hours music that resides comfortably - or sometimes uncomfortably - under the Chill Out umbrella. Angel had always written, produced, collaborated and hung out in studios but it's artists like Massive Attack, Nightmares On Wax, Everything But The Girl etc... that first inspired her to want to write her own album - laying down the many songs that had formed in her head over the years. In 2005 Angel set up her own studio, set her mind to the task and Venus In Motion was born.
All the key ingredients and some essential factors for the fresh vibe behind Venus In Motion's debut album, Walking in Limbo, released in 2007. It was signed to Spain's largest independent record label, Blanco y Negro, it won hearts and minds and earned early admiration from some of Ibiza's leading names behind the music and DJ sets you so often experience during the white Isle's famed, magical sunsets. The album also features one of the only covers to gain family support from the estate of Bob Marley - for This Woman, a stunning interpretation of No Woman No Cry.
The new album Somebodys Heaven, follows suit with beautifully crafted songs, quality production and that inimitable injection of sweet melancholy. The music itself is an eclectic mix inspired by jazz, soul, folk and dub. It embodies both an electronic and an organic vibe. The tracks distinctively weave together the sounds from long term collaborators like Chris Bucknall on keyboards, Tony Dallas on guitar and Karl Bingham on bass, sweetly elevated by the awesome vocal talents of Cherry Mars, Siobhan Lynch, Naomi Moss and Jack Kenworthy. Venus In Motion can frequently be heard at the worlds coolest lounge bars and sunset strip cafes, and regularly play-listed on Radio Stations like Ibiza Sonica Radio helping Venus in Motion to reach an even wider international audience.
