De Souza ft Shena Guilty Video

It may be pretty cold outside but with Miami just around the corner, Hed Kandi are primed and ready with their very own slice of sunshine.

Hot off the heels of their 2006 hit Booty Luv, which charted at No.2 and spent 8 weeks in the top 10, they`re back with yet another secret weapon in the form of De Souza`s `Guilty`. Already #1 Cool Cuts. # 1 Buzz Chart and a mainstay on the specialist radio shows including the Essential New Tune tag from Mr Tong, the support for Guilty has reached fever pitch and, with its infectious hook and summer vibe, looks set for the top of the charts.

The brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Chris Morris, De Souza draws on the influences from nights in dark dingy nightclubs, smoke filled jazz venues and the bright lights of festival main stages. A regular on the touring and session circuit, Chris Morris has played alongside such luminaries as Otis Reading Jr & Eddie Floyd whilst also writing and producing music for TV and film.

Chris is supported in the studio by the talents of one of his great friends, Chris Allen. A hugely in-demand mix-engineer and producer, Allen has recently mixed and programmed the forthcoming UNKLE album for James Lavelle and Queens Of The Stone Age`s Chris Goss! Allen has also worked on numerous remixes for Robert Plant, Depeche Mode, Metallica, Muse, Missy Elliot and Jakatta. Coming to prominence initially through programming and co-producing the multi-platinum selling and Grammy nominated debut album by Sonique, Chris Allen is probably one of the UK`s most in-demand young mix engineers.

Unlike previous Miami hits Groovejet and Lola`s Theme, Guilty was never released as an instrumental but instead comes ready made with a stunning vocal. De Souza have enlisted the awesome vocal talents of Shena, who has featured on numerous hits in the UK and Europe including, most recently Michael Gray`s UK Top 10 hit The Weekend, adding further kudos to the project.

Guilty is a dazzling house anthem that screams of summer time. Remixes come from Bimbo Jones who adds a bouncier bassline, whilst Eddie Thoneik messes with the tempo for a darker journey and arrangement that takes it in a totally different direction; however it sure to be the radio and club mixes that capture the hearts and feet of the nation and propel it to being one of the biggest dance hits of the year.
