ARTIST INFO

Alex Moran

The partnership came about as a result of Alex (responsible for Manc rave anthem - Ultracynic's "Nothing Lasts Forever") sending a demo of "Sunday Session" to Toko, who then took it to in house producer Si Brad - whošs been making music for over fourteen years now and has played an integral part in setting the standards of quality British house music since the beginning through his work with Manchesters Salt City Orchestra and even soluful funky R 'n' B with Rae and Christians Grand Central imprint (check out his mix of Spellbound).

The result of this was the now legendary 12th release on Toko "Lost in The Loft / Sunday Session" the latter of which has been embraced and scooped up by Virgin. Since then the two have proved to be a fantastic creative partnership, bouncing off each otheršs ideas and creating some cracking deep house tunes in all sorts of styles - from the loose funk of "Lost in The Loft", to the tripped-out, uplifting "Spirit in Your Soul" , and from the awesome piece of Balearic magic that is "Hugo Agogo" to the full on double slice of dancefloor heaven "Theme form Weekender Pts. 1 & 2", there is no doubt about the diversity and quality of the pair's musical haeritage. They also work closely with soon to be massive Moss-Sider Azeem , probably better known for the '98 release "Beautiful Day" by House of 909, and it is he who supplies the vocals on the sublime "One the One".
