Soulful house music duo DJN Project has been making serious strides with their young label Newav Media. The label has earned deserved attention through high ranking releases featuring superb collaborations with house music heroes Stephanie Cooke, Arnold Jarvis, and Eman. For Newav's third release DJN Project continue their ambitious collaborative streak by inviting the formidable talent of Kenny Bobien to the mix. Considered by many to be the "King Of Gospel House," Bobien has recorded classic tracks for Soundmen on Wax, Soulshine, MAW Records, and, of course, King Street Sounds who released his seminal "Brighter Days." With DJN Project, Bobien extends his line of classic tracks with the heartfelt "What A Way."
"What A Way" is a gorgeous piece of deep, vocal house. The latin-style percussion intro leads to a steady house rhythm, a melodic disco bass line, and beautifully lush chords and pads. Add Kenny Bobien's affecting falsetto to all of this and the dancefloor quickly reaches house music heaven. Three tempting remixes enhance this outstanding song giving DJs a trio of alluring options. Carlos Vargas, who has remixed for Purple Music, Look At You, and Solid Ground delivers a silky, percussive mix with a powerful vocal breakdown. Frequent DJN Project collaborator and Twirlspace owner John Crockett provides the next mix, adding jazzy elements, an impressive organ solo, and emotive strings to the song. The single closes with a deep mix from Phil Hooten, known previously for his track "Epichoregeo" featured on Kerri Chandler's Coast 2 Coast compilation for NRK. With a subtle broken beat feel, Phil's full and building production engagingly cradles Kenny Bobien's masterful vocal work.
"What A Way," from DJN Project and Kenny Bobien, marks yet another hallmark for Newav Media and this impressive family of house music producers, DJs, and vocalists. Stay tuned for more exciting tracks and collaborations from DJN Project to come soon.

Pretty good base track with the Original, and I just love the almost latin skit of the Carlos Vargas Soul Mix. John Crocketrts funky house-soul mix also hits the spot. The Phil Hooton mix is the one you expect to hear at your favourite restaurant with a flute…now that hasn’t been put up front for a long time, quite refreshingly different. - Neil Brown
