"Rising" is the title track from Momu's third album, a bold breakbeat manifesto that hit the Beatport Top 100 within days of release. The original mix of "Rising" is mixture of raw and visceral elements with full-on lush and orchestral largesse. Two fresh remixes come from Bay Area production talents JDubya and Den Jones. Alysoun Quinby, who appeared on Momu's breakout track The Dive, contributes vocals for the title track. Original taken from the Rising music video, directed by Kia Simon, and also featuring Alysoun Quinby. Momu is J.D. Moyer (the MO) and Mark Musselman (the MU). Championed from the start by the world's top DJ's such as Nick Warren and Sasha, Momu immediately made a name for themselves with ground-breaking breakbeat singles that helped create the "progressive breaks" genre. In 2006 Momu released their debut self-titled album to stunning critical acclaim. M8 Magazine said "you'll struggle to find anything as perfectly formed as this collection from breakbeat visionaries Momu." Spill Magazine opined "An absolutely cracking album from start to finish, there's not even a whiff of disappointment in this longplayer." 2008 brought the release of Momu's follow-up album "Momentum." Unfettered by anything except the breakbeat form itself, "Momentum" broke the "progressive breaks" mold, but Momu's signature sonic weirdness, insanely high production values, and larger than life hooks are still front and center. Momu's newest album "Rising" (Looq Records) opened at #3 on Beatport's Chill-Out releases chart. Other recent projects include the mind-bending "Spiral Staircase" remix of Infusion's anthem "Gotta Leave Now" (Omnis).
