South Africa & Cyprus fires a sure shot with a sensuous offering on Waking MonsterWaking Monster lead the way for the past 10 years with outstanding club music from South Africa. "I Need You In My Life" by DJ Leandro & Art-Jones feat. JLuv continues this tradition in the midst of the current wave of interest by so many other labels. "The pulsing bassline, and hip swaying beat, combined with Art-Jones' delicate piano playing, capped off with JLuv's caressing vocals, delivers a song beyond it's genre. The heartfelt lyrics from DJ Leandro crystallizes it as more than a club song but one that you'll want to bask in at home for years to come," says Keith Thompson who signed the record. DJ Leandro, who is based in Cyprus but born in South Africa is in love with the soulful and deep magic of house music. This is clear from this, his first release on Waking Monster.

He has released previous hits in SA on Multi-Racial Records, his own label Hat's Off Records, and on compilations by DJ Sisco and DJ Fresh to name a few. Here he collaborates with the late, talented Art-Jones of South Africa who held a degree in classical, contemporary, and Jazz music. Art-Jones worked with SA's best such Black Coffee, DJ Christos, and DJ Sisco. He had numerous hits in his short career such as, “Won’t Let You Go” by DJ Tira and “Set Your Mind Free” but unfortunately died before this project could be released. Yet his talents and music lives on with the graceful, a nd heartfelt vocals of JLuv. Jluv, the talented vocalist has been featured on the works of SA stars such as Zwai Bala and Lebo Mathosa and was a member of the country's R&B supergroup, Khalil. He brought the finishing touch of brilliance to the project, which includes an infectious remix by Black Coffee and Jazzy, deep offerings by Melchyor A. It will be a soundtrack to great memories.
