With their third album Mo`Horizons break further new ground in the way of artistic freedom. As already evident from „come touch the sun" and „remember tomorrow" they allow for no musical corsett constraints.

„...and the new bohemian freedom" which is not just material that has Downtown Hannover origins, Mo`Horizons travelled the world not only with Record Box & Toothbrush but also their laptops which they kept constantly at hand. Not allowing any chance or opportunity to pass in order to capture and eternalise authentic and original material on their Harddrive on the spot, not only capturing the material but also the mood. Therefore you coul say this album was produced in Australia, Mexico, Italy, Greece, Portugal and also on the wonderful Canary Island La Palma

This all paired with the the freedom to release an album the way they want and the support of Stereo Deluxe has given Mo`Horizons the feeling that they find themselves in a „new bohemian freedom" nights.

In July 1999, the debut album from Mo`Horizons "Come touch the sun "saw the light of day and soon set itself as an innovative standard for Clubs, Radio and DJ`s alike.

Worldwide DJ Sets and numerous remixes ( Aroma bar, Soul Scream, Kitchen tools) are the result of the unique sound of Mo´Horizons.

Ikea and VIVA would also find themselves complimenting their TV campaigns with the Mo`Horizons sound... and with sales of the album topping 50 000 worldwide not just the record label was suprised.

Within a short time Mo`Horizons had shot into the modern dance & listening music scene Every 12" went straight into the DC- Charts. Their diverse repertoire of sounds would be used from background music in TV documentaries to innovative Radio stations who played just about every track from the album...

The second album from Mo`Horizons "Remember Tomorrow"(release date 03 sept 2001) sticks itself seamlessly on the first but beware of being too complacent this baby will make you want to shake your bootie on any dancefloor.

Ralf Droesemeyer and Mark "Foh" Wetzler have been working on the 12 tracks that make up this album since the beginning of 2001, using such an array of styles from brazil, latin, jazz and soul, afro, funk, dub to name but a few. and for the first time enriched with a little boogaloo just for good measure.

Mo`Horizons integrate effortlessly all the elements from the 50`s to the 90`s in what has become their distinguishable sound all with Live musicians and VocalsÝemerging to form a wide ranging multicultural sound that can only be classed as Mo`Horizons so diversive and refreshing that producers such as Nicola Conte, SWAG and Skeewiff had already started to put their own unique touches to remixes before general release with "Remember Tomorrow" Ralf & Foh didn´t want to remove themselves from the electro-bossa-brazil sound they so endear to, they merely expand the borders of their musical preferences and loves.

Come, touch the sun
CD SD 037

MO' HORIZONS consists of producers, musicians and DJ's Ralf Droesemeyer and the Mark ‘Foh’ Wetzler. Ralf is reknown for his work with, amongst many others, Cunnie Williams or Randy Crawford.

Together these two lads form a unit that’s been in effect for a few years already, slowly, but steadily gaining props and respect from many DJ celebs drop their name in the lounges and clubs. So Ralf and Foh decided that the time is now to really come up with their very own stuff and start a serious musical project - Mo’ Horizons saw the light of day.

Mo’s first two 12“s 'Yes Baby Yes' and 'Foto Viva' were so sucessful in the clubs and on the dancefloors that they made it up to the top ten of DCC (official german club charts) and 'Foto Viva' even became a radio hit. On their first album ‘Come touch the sun’ (the record is dedicated to the sun giving warmth & light to all people) the two masterminds melt influences ranging from the soulful fifties, sixties & funky seventies straight to the nineties. Integrating modern production techniques and a handful of talented live-musicians and vocalists they create a sound that varies in mood and style but is still homogenous and therefore can easily be identified as Mo’ Horizons. Nujazz, soul, afro, latin, funk, downbeat, dub, triphop or bigbeat: Mo’ Horizons break all boundaries and tear down all musical barricades.

Imagine all the very best bits of Thievery Corporation, Smoke City, Air and Akasha, all delivered with the sultriest German poise this side of Marlene Dietrich as bossa, latin, freewheelin' funk and lascivious exotica hit the dancefloor. This would the release of the month in any other month.'
