Maur teams up with Evokings for a breathtaking single on Sola, featuring the captivating vocals of Joanna Cooke on 'No More'.
Resurfacing following several successful releases on Sola, including 'Go', 'Bugging', 'Deep Inside', 'Power' with label bosses Solardo, and many more, burgeoning UK duo Maur are back on the label with another stadium-sized dance cut. Joining them on the release, ever-rising Brazilian duo Evokings and English singer/songwriter Joanna Cooke make up a trifecta of musical potency that sees 'No More' blow the doors off 2023 with an almighty bang.
Effortlessly appeasing those with a reference for hard-hitting Melodic dance flavours, 'No More' features a wave of captivating vocals, crescendoing climaxes and pumping House beats. Euphoric, at very least, its blend of affecting musicality and vigorously danceable grooves deliver another undeniably standout addition to the Sola catalogue.
Tipped as Ones To Watch in 2022 by Radio 1's Dance team Danny Howard, Sarah Story and Pete Tong,
Maur continues to gather the attention and respect from the leading industry heavyweights. Dan Clare &
Dylan May - both respected DJs before the Maur project - joined forces to create the vibrant sounds they are
notorious for playing out.
With Maur gathering momentum at a booming pace, 2022 was another huge year with massive releases on
Sola and other respected record labels on top of a busy touring schedule, including their debut at
Tomorrowland Festival.
One of the representatives of the new generation of Brazilian electronic music, the duo Evokings is formed
of Thiago Cymbal and Wagner Farias. Owners of a unique sound, the duo's releases exceed the 1 Million
streaming barrier, with highlights for Gravity (in partnership with the Cat Dealers), Back to the funk, On the
Floor, By My Side, My Way and In the Air Tonight, as well as having official remixes for projects such as
Vintage Culture, Felguk and Cat Dealers.
In addition to their skills as musical producers and DJs, both are guitarists and usually composes lyrics and
melody of their songs - which reflects in an organic, energetic and highly melodic style in their productions
and presentations. Evokings are supported by the biggest names in electronic music, including Vintage
Culture, Alok, Cat Dealers, Chemical Surf, Tiësto, Diplo, Kaskade, Kungs, Fedde Le Grand, EDX and Nora
En Pure.
West country born singer/songwriter Joanna Cooke grew up in a strict but passionately artistic family where
her father's collection of blues records by greats like Howling Wolf and Robert Johnson was the soundtrack
to her upbringing. A restless desire for music has spurred Joanna throughout her music journey. Fast
forward, and it's this self-sufficiency, drive and talent that now see Joanna supporting and collaborating with
big-name artists and performing her own solo shows.
These successes range from festival main-stage appearances, supporting artists such as Paloma Faith and
Rag'n'Bone Man, to intimate solo gigs. She has also worked with quality artists such as Jo Harman, Beth
Rowley, Ben Ottewell (Gomez) and Wildwood Kin. The release of 3 EPs and a single to date have drawn
positive review, and widespread radio play, whilst Joanna's vocal and songwriting collaborations with
international dance music producers include No1 Club Chart hits in Australia & South Africa. All the while,
Joanna has built a loyal audience who really engage not just with the stories in her songs - but her as a
person.
