KAROL XVII & MB VALENCE

                      

Karol XVII & MB Valence (Peppermint Jam / Progcity Records) have been associated with one of the best Warsaw's clubs called "Klubokawiarnia", where they have done lots of gigs as resident DJ's. They are considered as top Polish producers of club music. House music, which they make and perform, is their focal point of interest. Their favourite styles are funky, soulful and deep house so very characteristic of Peppermint Jam / Progcity Records (the label releasing their records), as well as other famous record companies such as Defected or Azuli. In 2004 they signed a record deal with Peppermint Jam Records, the company belonging to the Mousse T. himself, and within a couple of months their three singles appeared on the market: Karol XVII "Funk This Beat" (featuring Alex aka Martin Harmony's remix), Karol XVII "Let's Get Together" (featuring MB Valence's remixes) and an EP from Soul Tunes "Gotta Keep That Feeling /  It's All About House Music" (featuring Bionik Phunk aka Sugar Caine's remix). At the beginning of 2005 they released another track at Progcity Records: Karol XVII "Get Up" (featuring WaWa and MB Valence's remixes). In May their remixes for Mateo & Matos's "Akara" and "Hey Zulu" were included in both of the records whereas in June their remixes of RALF GUM's "Ordinary Girl" appeared on the market. In July 2005, one of their own projects was put out on the vinyl - Karol XVII "Rhythmobilizer", which contained remixes from Alius, Labtop & MB Valence. At the beginning of August they released a combined EP called "Polish Connection E.P." with the following tracks: Soul Tunes - "I Like You" (Martin Harmony remix), MB Valence - "Fall In Love [With The Music]" and Karol XVII - "Keep Movin'". In the first half of September they made a remix for Steve Edwards's latest track "Thru The Night" as well as they have just finished working on their fresh project with Paige Dedeaux's participation - an American singer residing in the Netherlands. The newest project from Loco Records is called Parasoul and it's to be released by 99 Carat - a Dutch label located in Amsterdam which puts out records of such artists as SOUL CENTRAL, SHIK STYLKO or DEEP JOSH. The vinyl is entitled "THE REAL FUNKY SOUND" and is due in June. The record will contain mixes from KAROL XVII, MB VALENCE or SOUL TUNES.
