About TMD Feat. J5

In the early part of 2004, Jonnie Horden (J5) met with Maurice Fontilio and Trevor Smith (TMD) with a view to working on a collaborative project to produce a track composite of the indie/acoustic and house genres. After hearing a few tracks, Trevor Smith picked up on Jonnie Horden's delicate acoustic ballad 'I'm So In Love With You' as having the right qualities for a soulful house remix. Shortly thereafter, original recordings of Jonnie Horden's home recorded guitar and vocals were skilfully crafted by TMD into the amazing record that has come to be known simply as "So In Love" - TMD feat J5. The finished article has since been reffered to by people in the industry as a magical track that only comes along once in a while. In the summer of 2005, the track was licensed by independent label 'Elementary Group', who became enchanted by the novelty of the track and set about gearing up for a three month promotional campaign and a later summer release. These plans were soon put on hold however, as it became readily apparent that the song was stirring more attention than originally expected. Major Radio One backing from Djs Pete Tong, Chris Coco, Rob Da Bank and Spoony and resultant feedback from listeners suggested that the track may well be a classic in the making. In October 2005, Pete Tong released his Essential Selection Compilation which contained 'So In Love' - TMD feat J5 on the first CD nestled in between Bob Sinclair's massive 2005 favourite 'Love Generation' and Jamiroquai's 'Seven Days In Sunny June'. The buzz surrounding the track and its creators was steadily growing. Multiple labels came in with offers to license the track from Elementary Group with a view to worldwide release. In January 2006, Hed Kandi emerged victorious in the race to sign TMD & J5 with a view to a full commercial release in the summer. The track continues to weave it's magic around the UK and this summer, could be set to enchant listeners on a worldwide scale. Feel the summertime vibe, it's TMD feat J5! www.myspace.com/jonnie5ive www.myspace.com/thamanzdem
