NEXT UP ON MOREHOUSE...
Soulful House heavyweights Groove Junkies, Reelsoul (Groove N' Soul) and UK-based Producer/DJ Paris Cesvette have joined forces with the incomparable vocalist Nina Lares to deliver "Happy" — a deeply emotive and sonically rich House anthem that hits all the right notes on the dancefloor and in the heart. "Happy" is a sultry, groove-driven exploration of love on the brink — where pride and ego threaten connection, and one voice dares to reach for healing. With signature production finesse, Groove Junkies, Reelsoul and Paris Cesvette blend organic percussion, warm keys, and a bumpin' bassline to create a lush, emotionally-charged groove. Nina Lares' smoky, soulful vocal performance captures the ache of disconnection with honesty and grace, delivering a lyrical plea that's both vulnerable and empowering. Whether it's a late-night set or a Sunday soulful session, "Happy" invites bodies to move — and hearts to open. We're thrilled to have Reelsoul & Paris back on our label and excited to welcome Nina to our extended MoreHouse family.
The early buzz has been phenomenal with global love coming from industry heavyweights Danny Krivit, Natasha Diggs, Richard Earnshaw, Mr V, Hec Romero & many more. With your support as well, we're confident that 'Happy' will be on repeat this Summer / Fall and beyond!

PARIS CESVETTE
Paris Cesvette is a British-born DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist celebrated for her genre-blending artistry that fuses soulful house, jazz, R&B, and funk. With Jamaican and Cuban heritage, she brings a rich cultural depth to her music, crafting immersive soundscapes that resonate with audiences worldwide. Her early passion for music led her to master various instruments, including the recorder, guitar, saxophone, and keyboard, by the age of 12. This foundation propelled her into a career as a session musician and songwriter, eventually leading to collaborations with notable artists such as Will Downing, Frank McComb, and Boy George. Cesvette's debut album, Celestial (2018), topped charts and showcased her unique blend of neo-soul and smooth jazz with deep dance beats. Her #1 single plucked from the album titled "Sacred" feat. Josh Milan, along with her Top 10 remix of Groove Junkies & Reelsoul feat. Nichelle Monroe's soul drenched hit "My Truth" (co-produced by Luis 'Loowee' Rivera) rounded out a banner year. Her follow-up full length release, "As Above, So Below" (2024), released on DJ Spen's Quantize Recordings, further solidified her reputation, featuring collaborations with artists like Kenny Bobien, Mr V, Rona Ray, Hannah Khemoh, Michelle Weeks and Tracy Hamlin. Beyond her music, Paris is the founder of Luxury Listening, a multifaceted platform encompassing a record label, night, streaming network, and educational program aimed at nurturing talent.

A genre-defying vocalist with roots in jazz, soul, and deep groove, Nina Lares has carved out a distinct lane in the global House music scene. Known for her sultry, resonant voice and fluid musicality, she brings both sophistication and emotional depth to every collaboration — whether onstage or in the studio. A dynamic live performer, Nina has headlined stages for the Pasadena Symphony & POPS and enchanted audiences at the Rose Bowl. Her deep understanding of jazz and improvisation, paired with an innate sense for rhythm, gives her a unique edge in the world of House music. Her unforgettable vocal on "You & I" co-written and produced by Grammy nominated Chris Lum with Tony Humphries on remix duties, and collaboration with Sandy Rivera (K.O.T.) – "6PM": featured on his "Trouble" LP on Defected Records (with remixes by Mark Knight and Martijn ten Velden), have become underground staples that continue to resonate on dancefloors worldwide. She's a frequent collaborator with Moulton Music, where she has contributed to numerous chart-topping releases, including a standout appearance on David Harness's acclaimed solo album, "Friends in Harmony." Another standout moment in Nina's diverse career came with "Far Away", a lush, atmospheric collaboration with Mudd & Pollard on Claremont 56, remixed by the one and only Ron Trent — a release that resonated with both deep house aficionados and Balearic tastemakers. Additional highlights in her discography include "Higher" with Benji Candelario & Arnold Jarvis on Defected Records, "I Wish You Well" with Eddie Amador on Nervous Records, "Take Me I'm Yours" with nu-disco favorites 40 Thieves, and "Glow" with Seven Davis Jr., Luke Solomon, and The Illustrious Blacks — a bold, genre-fusing track that pushed boundaries in house and soul.
