Mona Bode in her own words.

Hot spoken word track by new recording artist Mona Bode that will move every body and soul on any dancefloor!Johnny Dangerous offers his talent in this hot release.

Cyberjamz Records would like to welcome and introduce New Recording Artist Mona Bode to our label,her first release “My first Love” with mixes by the legendary Trevor Fox, and & OSH,are just outstanding with spoken word lyrics in reference to Housemusic & Musical Culture in general.

Growing up in the south bronx, my family always kept the radio station on WBLS FM listening to Frankie Crocker every afternoon during the era of the Funhouse and Bond International. listening to tracks like “LOVE IS THE MESSAGE”, “RUNAWAY” AND “DR. LOVE”. I remember the first time I heard “DO U LOVE ME” BY LIL LOUIS. OOOWWEEE I couldnt wait to hit the clubs. The music always made me feel like I could just be me, Free with no worries. Just me and the music.

Ive always written and loved spoken word. My favorite poet is Nikki Giovanni . She inspired me to write and because of my love of housemusic I decided to write A piece about my love of housemusic and put that poem to a soulful house beat, and called it “MY FIRST LOVE”. Now when you hear this track at first you think its about a guy but by the end of the track you know exactly what im talking about. A true head can understand what im saying. There’s a line in the track that goes “And think I might be happier over there (hip hop) and for a while maybe, but you, you have a way of making me desire you all over again” what a line, and that’s so true. Time and again I always went back and forth from house to hip hop to r&b and to even jazz but I always went back to what I love, where I was comfortable, listening to house music. For me its always about the music, cause housemusic is always on my mind.

Black Coffee, the master behind Crazy, is the most notable name in South African house music, and is one of the most imperative and admired names within the house world. Recently completing a 60 hour charitable DJ set, and with constant culturally minded output, Black Coffee’s fiercely passionate and ambitious musical ethos is venerated worldwide.

Crazy has already been reinterpreted and reinvented by some of the house world’s most respected producers, including the illustrious Quentin Harris, Zepherin Saint and Culoe De Song, and within its final chapter of creative evolution, Charles Webster, Manoo & Francois A give Crazy the soulful and aurally decadent send off it deserves.

Poignant, moving and engaging, Charles Webster, Manoo & Francois A leave their signature soulful and spiritual sounds within their remixes. Dazzling and daring, they remain innovative, imaginative and ingenious whilst remaining respectful to Crazy’s original emotional finesse. Crazy, which holds great significance to all involved, is nurtured most fervently by its original creators.

“The 1st time I heard this track it was an RnB Soul version that Thiwe did for her album 3 years ago. I was hooked by how she had written it and expressed herself vocally. I then spoke to her when I was working on my album Home Brewed 2 years ago to see if we could re-work and re-record. Well yeah, the rest is history.” (Black Coffee)

“Crazy was written when I got my heart broken and it took me some time to get over the pain. I would still wish that the man I loved would come back to me. So it healed me, and now I sing it with such passion because it takes me back to that moment in my life.” (Thiwe)

An inspiring and eternally enchanting track, Crazy, will forever be embedded within the hearts of the house world. A musical journey and endeavour for Black Coffee, Thiwe, the multitude of remixers and Foliage Records, Crazy proves the historical and poignant soundtrack to contemporary house, in its many striking forms.
