Jovonn releases his latest artist album 'Blaque House' on the respected Baltimore house label, CodeRed.

For any true house fan, the name Jovonn is one which never fails to create intrigue and expectation. The Brooklyn born DJ and internationally respected Uber producer has been adding his vast musical talents to Dance, R&B, Hip Hop and Neosoul records for over 20 years and has become synonymous with the underground soulful house scene.

Few house fans will have forgotten Jovonn's arrival onto the dance scene when he released 'Turn and Runaway' in 1991. Reaching number 10 on the billboard charts, it was a record which shook the scene and since then the DJ has never looked back.

Inspired largely by the works of Strafe, Jovonn's musical career has seen him produce hits such as Ceybil Jeffries's 'Love So Special', Valerie Jonhnston's 'Step Into My Life', and many others.

With an unbridled passion for Dance music, and boldly declaring the genre as 'Spiritual', Jovonn's recent hits have included 'Cliff Hanger', 'Old Man Groan', 'Jurassic House', 'Circle Dance' & 'Something About Dis Love (feat Carol Sylvian)'.

Since the launch of his own record label 'Goldtone' in the early 90's, Jovonn has produced more than 200 records, gaining worldwide appreciation and adoration. He then moved on and formed the labels, 'NextMoov Records' and 'NextMoov Traxx', which, in doing so, have seen the DJ/Producer passionately push the sounds of underground house to the masses.

Indeed, Jovonn, or as he's otherwise known as 'The God Father Of The Underground' continues to flaunt his versatility as an artist, and this is epitomised on his latest record 'Blaque House', a collection of tunes which first and foremost finds an artist in fine voice and instrumental form.

'Blaque House' is a sophisticated House album, combining precise percussive beats, intricate synth keys, blissed out Jazz chords and a voice as soulful as they come.

'Blaque House' soulfully grooves along with a degree of coolness and competence not heard on a house record for some time, and can only enhance the singer/songwriter, musician, producer and DJ's credentials further.

The album is made up of 13 new tracks, and features guest appearances from Chavelle Singleton on 'Take Control', the late K.T. Brooks on the sublime 'I'm Gonna Miss You' and Kareem on 'Call Me'. The record also includes 'First Night To Love'- the lead single from the Code Red winter sampler released in December 08, and the tracks 'Trama' & 'Take Control', which will appear on Jovonn's imminent 'The Take Control' E.P.

Other highlights from the record include 'Blaque Magic', 'Inside', '6.30 AM' and Jovonn's message to his listeners, 'Take A Chance'.
