Beta One, a Toronto-based remixer and producer of house, dance and pop music, has teamed up with Trinidadian-born soca innovator and leader, Machel Montano, for the creation of "Reach On Out For Love."Beta One, a moniker for James de Pinho, has released a tech-house EP of original material, as well as many remixes from his base in Toronto over the last fifteen years.
Beta One's vision was to create a song that was relatable, from the heart, and contained a positive and encouraging message. After writing the lyrics and music, he recorded a demo production of "Reach On Out For Love". Beta One then began his quest for the right artist to bring the song to life and into the mainstream with a sound that would appeal to many markets, and a voice that would authentically carry its message.
Ready to move forward, Beta One contacted Machel Montano with "Reach On Out..." and immediately found a willing and able partner who was equally anxious to record the song. Machel, featured artist and fellow act with many performers, has a massive appeal and popularity in the soca world. Having recorded 35 albums of his own, and having worked with many other big name artists such as Alison Hinds, Beenie Man, Wyclef Jean, Shaggy, Sparrow, Vybz Kartel, G-Unit and Pitbull (to name a just a few), Machel welcomed the opportunity to break into new musical territory.
Machel is constantly working toward his goal of successfully ushering soca into the realm of mainstream music. Machel states, "I have been pushing the envelope, trying to revolutionize soca, trying to improve its quality. It is very difficult to bring this music to the mainstream and at the same time stay grounded at home, but we have created a sound that we believe is palatable to all markets and can play on the radio in rotation with other popular songs. That is a dream I have always had and something I look forward to achieving."
Combining pop and dance music styles with the soca flavour, Beta One and Machel Montano share the vision of getting the song's positive message to audiences of all ages world-wide, in many markets. The "Nick Fiorucci Ibiza re-work" version is the main commercial radio version of the song and is featured in the song's video. With the help of Canada's Hi-Bias records, and a great variety of remixes in various house music styles, this message of reaching on out for love will surely find its way onto dance-floors and radios worldwide.
