MAKINEP014 – Javonntte “The Jamesey Mars Project EP”

Posted on by

Makin’ Moves kick of 2025 with four hot tracks from Detroit producer Javonntte that will certainly warm you up from your winter slumber! Detroit native Javonntte Garrett, better known simply as Javonntte.

Javonntte has been producing music and DJing since the early ’90s. Having had a love for music since he was a child growing up, he turned himself into an independent singer, songwriter, producer and even a dancer, where he once toured with Aretha Franklin’s troupe.
Having collaborated with legendary producers Blake Baxter, Amp Fiddler and Andres in his formative years, Garrett has since spread his wings as a solo producer, with a steady string of releases on such labels as Traxx Underground, Quintessentials and Kai Alce’s NDATL.
This fresh four tracker, has been hand selected by us and each track brings something different to the dance floor, from the soulful vibes of WHAT? to the the bouncier and more melodic sounds of Good Vibration and Chicago.

Wipe the Needle makes his long awaited return to the label along side his latest cohort Venuz Beats with “We Shall Overcome”. The original of this song was our 200th release at the back end of 2023 and now we’re back with fresh news remixes from NYC house music dj / producer Frankie Feliciano, supplying that customary NYC underground sound.On vocals is hackney-born soul siren Sherelle “ShezAr” McKenzie truly a three soul sister of the 21st Century and a well seasoned force within the UK music scene alongside her sister Jaybay! ShezAr went all the way to the knock outs on the UK’s version of The Voice in 2020 gathering more fans along the way.

Both girls deliver an awesome vocal performance and a positive lyrics in testing times for us all.

We’ve been excited about getting Frankie back on a mix for us and he doesn’t disappoint in true Feliciano style!
