mo & dawn: the remix project: Home

The collaboration between trumpeter, singer/songwriter Dawn Weber and pianist and bandleader Mo Egeston began in 1997. The result has been a remarkably consistent string of successful bands including Vargas Swing, Vargas, and from 2000-2005 the pioneering live house music band, Urban Jazz Naturals.

mo & dawn's work as the Urban Jazz Naturals included the release of the Urban Jazz EP (Large/Vista) with a remix by Demarkus Lewis; How Can I (Gallery) with a remix by JT Donaldson; and a self titled EP on CD and vinyl. Building on the sound of UJN, the duo made the difficult decision to go “solo” in the summer of 2005 with the remix project. The sound is still all about live electronica, but with complete freedom of style and musical collaboration. The new set includes house, trip hop, electro funk, soul, acid jazz and drum& bass.

Mo has literally remixed every track that he and Dawn wrote for UJN as well as some tracks from the original Vargas Swing EP plus lots of new material. Ever busy writing and remixing tracks, mo & dawn look forward to hitting the road in 2007 with their new sounds. Check our calendar and come hear us play,or see what we're up to each week on our blog.
