Poussez vs. Demarkus Lewis on Tonecontrol
We hook up with our Texan friend Demarkus on this one. With him signed to our label, conversations soon progressed to studio matters and thus 'Passin Thru' was born. On lead vocals we have the lovely and very talented Hannah Khemoh who fronts Artizan's 8 piece House ouftit Poetiquette, aswell as now being part of The Reel People! Signed to Tonecontrol (another promising UK label), there's also remixes from Mantis' superb Atjazz. Support has been off the hook, including Chez Damier and Tony Humphries! Blimey! Demarkus studio code name at Poussez HQ is 'Apple D' just don't tell him we told you.
Release info from Tonecontrol here.
Here's what they have to say:
Tone Control Music continue the release pressure with their latest signing Poussez vs. DeMarkus Lewis with a fantastic new single titled Passin Thru feat remixes from Atjazz . Teaming up with ace soulful vocalist, Hannah Khemoh (Poettiquette, Reel People) and dope keys player Andy 'Touch' Fingers (from Jafar and Touch of Hustle music, Artizan and more), Passin Thru is a killer slice of gorgeously deep dancefloor soul.Poussez is the electronic brainchild of London-based, dj/producer duo JAFAR (Jafar & Touch / Poetiquette / Rare Unit) and MAXIME CESCAU (Tonrausch / Toastburglar/ Waxjackkers). They have over 60 combined releases and remixes under their various monikas, gracing the likes of Hustle Music, Blacksoul, Universal Vibes, Dust Traxx, Friends of the Family, Berwick Street, Kwaito and of course the boys own Artizan label (run with their other production cohort Andy 'Touch' Fingers). Passin Thru sees them join forces with old friend and legendary stateside deep house producer DEMARKUS LEWIS. Texas legend Demarkus really needs no introduction, his much sought after productions and remixes have graced the likes of world class labels including Shack, Lowdown, Alluv, Kapa, Amenti, Nightshift, Grab, BlueM and many more. Drafted in on lead vocal is Hannah Khemoh otherwise known as the front woman for Jafar and Touch's own 8 piece live band Poetiquette and more recently, as an addition to Papa Records' prolific soulful housers, Reel People! Add Andy 'Touch' Fingers on Keys and the results are a heady mix of deep, soulful vibes, with a killer dance floor punch!Man of the moment, Atjazz was the natural choice for a remix. Following his recent hit album Full Circle featuring collaborations with Ernesto, Clara Hill, and Robert Owens, to name a few, and alongside his recent Version remixes with production partner Charles Webster for Miso, Sonar Kollektiv, Innervisions and more, Atjazz turns in a very heavy peak time monster deemed to have the dancefloor breaking out in a sweat!Early feedback and DJ support from Tony Humphries, Charles Webster, Chez Damier, Bhoddi Satva, Marlon D, Simbad, Domu, Hippie Torrales, The Jinks, Mad Mats, and many more. Reviews in I-DJ, DJ mag, DJ Times, Manifesto, BPM Mag, M8, Blow Up Mag. Radio support from Galaxy, Radio FG, Push FM, Solar Radio, Passion FM, SS Radio, Power FM, Bondi FM and many more
Poussez’s Closer EP on Hudd Traxx

Poussez Video for East Village
We did a short video in anticipation of our night at Stuart Patterson's East Village on November 28th with Franck Roger. It's a quick 'behind the scenes' look at us and the characters involved. It should be a really dope night, so we hope you can make it down!
News…
We are currently deep in the groove working on more Club whoppers and dancefloor mash in their London & Göteborg studios...
Jafar has relocated to Sweden where he's expanding the label along with his loins. Maxime continues to fly the flag in South London.
We've been really busy with our label Artizan Music and of course Poussez.
Some of our recent highlights include 'Top Tune of the Month' for our last EP in IDJ Magazine (April), remixes on material from Spieltape (Global Underground), Pete Dafeet (Lost My Dog) and Erefaan Pearce (Kolour). Signings to LoudEast, HuddTraxx, Blacksoul, Universal Vibes, Berwick Street, ToneControl and collaborations with Demarkus Lewis. We have also been remixed by Atjazz, Roberto Rodriquez and Nacho Marco. Rave reviews in the press and strong DJ support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Jimpster, Chez Damier, Tony Humphreys, Rocco, Sander Kleinenberg, Demarkus Lewis and more.
We're also now doing a bi-weekly Radio show in Australia on Street FM. More info on that is on the Artizan Music Website. It's a wonderful opportunity for us to reach out to another continent and be live on the FM dial all along the East Coast. Maxime even got one of those hats with the corks to celebrate.
Poussez Remix Timo Garcia on Berwick Street
This was a remix we did for Timo's popular Berwick Street label. The final package also includes remixes from Freerange's Matt Masters and CR2's Angel Anx. Popular with Buzzin' Fly's supremo Ben Watt. The Hang Drum is a very unique instrument from the middle east and its haunting sound really cuts through on the break. Perfect Ibizan terrace track!
Natural Conditions on Universal Vibes
A two tracker for Paddy Freeforms delicious Universal Vibes imprint based in London. Those with their finger on the button will perhaps know 'Tell me how you do' as the opening track to our live sets, it was complimented by 'Natural Conditions' a deep groover in a freerange style! We're very proud to say, the whole E.P was strongly supported by Laurent Garnier, Sander Kleinenberg, Nacho Marco, Steve Lawler and a whole host of other A-list DJ's and Producers. Universal Vibes is shaping up to be a UK label to be reckoned with!
Vacation EP on Blacksoul Music

Its a three tracker of peak-time tech and electronic house bangers. Remixes are dropping shortly from Freerange's brilliant Roberto Rodriguez and our Spanish amigo Nacho Marco of LoudEast records fame, we eagerly await the results! Our remix of Blacksoul and Rithma's 'Not Another love Song' will also be popping up on Blacksoul Music soon.
