Robert aka Dj Murder teamed up with Thabo aka Smol to form Black Motion in 2010. 

The two have been in the music production business for about 5 years or so. Their breakthrough came when they joined SPIRIT MOTION where they produced the HIT single Banane Mavoko.

The song was so BIG that Dj Oskido licensed the song for his compilation CD Oskido's 10th Commandment.

Tribe Records UK came along and signed the song for international digital release...

Josh Milan's music career started with a single moment.

Milan was a mere twelve years old when he saw an opportunity to show off his skill on the organ and, without a second's hesitation, he took it.

The Brooklyn native made a habit of sitting near his cousin, the church organist, each and every Sunday. "Instead of sitting down where normal people sit in the church, I sat next to him and watched his every move," Milan recalls. One Sunday, his cousin was so moved by the energy in the church that he jumped up from his perch and began dancing, leaving the organ completely unmanned. Like a passenger jumping behind the wheel of a runaway car, Milan took his place at the organ and played like he'd never played before. "I'll never forget that feeling," says Milan who today serves as minister of music for his church. "It was spiritual for me because you're taught to give what you have back unto God. I jumped on that organ and my heart was racing. Not only was I trying to keep the music playing for the moment, but I also knew God was watching. I was trying to give Him my absolute best. That was the beginning for me."

Milan would go on to team up with deejay Kevin Hedge and singer Chris Herbert to form the group Blaze, a band that became known for its unique brand of house music laced with heavy gospel, soul and afrobeat rhythms. "You couldn't tell me I wasn't famous," Milan gushes. "I'd listen to the radio and hear them play a Michael Jackson record and then they'd play a Blaze record."

Blaze released three albums on Motown Records and drew the attention of the industry with their remix of Lisa Stansfield's "People Hold On." They also worked with such notables as Diana Ross, Babyface, El DeBarge and Jody Watley.

Having long since parted ways with both members, Milan is now making the transition from artist to label executive with the launch of Honey Comb Music, a record label specializing in house music. Milan said his goal with the label is to preserve the genre and heighten its awareness amongst the masses. "House music is looked upon as gay music because the gay community really embraces it. Radio stations don't really play it. But this music is not just for gay audiences. That's like saying all black people eat watermelon but it's not true."

Milan said his aim through Honey Comb is to restore the integrity and quality of house music. "I remember house before it became so electronic and techy," he notes. "Now it has evolved into something foreign. It's so cheap and guys are doing records who don't even know what a real chord is. All you have to do is press a couple of buttons and write a couple of lines and you've got a record."
