Just Jay vs Johnny Ramos - F4E Anthem
In cooperation with Football 4 Everyone. Music by Just Jay.
Video directed by Maurice Steenbergen.

The multitalented Zouk/R&B singer Johnny Ramos has been responsible for many hits since he stepped into the music game. Being one of the originators of "Mobass" and a member of "Splash!" he has delivered time and time again. Not to mention the countless appearences on various compilation albums, Johnny somehow always succeeded in performing one of the hottest tracks of the album.

After a 3 year absence in the PALOPS (African Portuguese speaking countries) he finally released his first solo album ( Só Jota) in 2004 on the independent label Miss Jane records. After the release there hasn't been a club, radio or stage in the PALOPS where Johnny's music hasn't been played,listened, or danced to. Being nominated with his hitsingle " Largal" for best west african male at the 2005 KORA AWARDS, Johnny was going to claim his 2nd award in his career, after winning his 1st award in 2002 at the Cabo Music Awards for best compilation album 2002 in Holland. Unfortunately Johnny didn't win the award but never the less, being nominated and being played at MTV Base Africa has certainly given a boost to his career. Although there is still a high demand for his songs and his agenda is fully booked for months in advance, and the fact that markets outside the PALOPS are starting to notice the music of Johnny Ramos, the singer,songwriter and producer, decided to head back to the studio and work on his second album, which is planned for release in July 2008. This time it wont't be on the label  Miss Jane Records but  on Johnny's own company "Just Jay Records". Just to warm up the fans prior to the release of the album, in December 2007  Just Jay Records released  an EP (Extended play) containing three fresh new tracks and one bonus track previously released on a compilation album (Elite).

Maurice Steenbergen will be performing 2 x 2 hour sets at "Return to Rave", in Berlin on July 8th 2010.
This is an official Smiley Company party!

Some deeper food for thought on Big & Dirty. It’s been a while (3 years actually), since we saw new material from Berlin based techno legend Mijk van Dijk’s alter ego Plato. With ‘Ashes Of Our Dreams’ Mijk returns in his Plato disguise and goes into a deep progressive mode. With lovely vocals from Jette von Roth mixes come from talented Spanish producer Mossy, techno legend Toneking, Hungarian based minimal/tech house producer Cave Sedem and Mijk van Dijk himself.

Inlcuded are some jawdropping remixes. Belgium ravers Shaved Monkeys are fairly new to the scene but listening to their remix makes you think they’ve been at it for years, loud beats and heavy basslines will defanetly get the party started. Doc Trashz, known for his killer track “One of these days” on crux gets techno/electro and doesn’t let you down. Fellow dutchie Lex Chauve gets more of an industrial vibe going with his crunchy beats and distorted percussion sounds.  Kick Oh, from Italy, goes Tropical with his remix. Eric Sharp, from Rockitsciene records goes in a totally different direction and makes it a real house track, taking the original’s Pianos and adding his San Fransisco Flavour to it. If youre into mellow house, this is your track for sure. Last but definitely not least is Steenbergen. You may not know the name but you have definitely heard him before. He is a legend in the gabber scene, producing under 100’s of aliases and his tracks have been released on propably as much labels. His track “poing” released under the Rotterdam Termination Source name was one of the first gabber tracks to be a number one hit in top 40’s all over the world. Nowadays he also wants to try his take on rave and electro and how does he do it. Rave, 100 % rave the old school way and we all know that its what we like. This track is loud, obnoxious and total punk in an rave way. Does that make sense? Just listen!
