Bliss Team biography

Members : Jeffrey Jey (producer, singer), DJ Roberto Molinaro (producer), M.T.J. Capuano

Their debut single, a 130 BPM cover of the Patty Smith track People Have The Power, was a great summer hit of '93, produced by M. Gabutti and L. Zucchet. Released under Propio records, it sold more than 50 000 copies in Italy alone, and wasa No.1 hit for months in both Italy and Spain. April 94 : released under the label Inprogress, Go! reachedthe top 10 in the Italian sales charts and in most radio charts. This 136 BPM track is a very strong piece of Italo-NRG, featuring the incrediblevocal talents of Jeffrey Jey. Since then Bliss Team has continued to fillthe worldwide dance scene with their uptempo and energetic dance beatstopped with very melodic pop vocal parts. Bliss Team has also demonstratedtheir abilities by working on various euro/NRG remixes (DaBlitz 's Let Me Be, Take My Way, Stay With Me, JK YouAnd I, Systematic:I Got The Music etc. etc.).

Living On A Prayer (a cover from Bon Jovi) was released in Brazil where it was a great success.

The group's first musical expansion occurred with the addition of M.T.J.Capuano into the band. Together they fused Hi-NRG beats with the magicalorchestral power of classical music, creating their massive 1995 hit YouMake Me Cry (their first hit accompanied by a video clip produced bytheir company's video department, Bliss Video). It reached the No.1 positionin the Italian pop charts and was released throughout Europe. It was alsoa tremendous club hit in Italy, largely successful due to its combinationof orchestral and Hi-NRG elements which gave the song an edge over allother dance releases.Following this success, Bliss Team released two moresingles in 1995 which reflected their musical experience catching up withthe changing times - the 150 bpm Hold On To Love (peaked at No.5on the Italian sales chart and reached No.1 in most Italian national radiocharts. This single saw a change in the group's musical style, moving awayfrom Italo-NRG to faster and more melodic 150 BPM Progressive-NRG, withsimple but intensely strong vocals once again by Jeffrey Jey) and the 148bpm Love Is Forever, a single featuring six versionsincluding EURO-NRG mixes and house/underground Americanized versions. (Avery important thing to mention is the beauty of this single's video clipwhich was made totally with computer graphics). Love IsForeverreached No.10 in the Italian sales charts and most radio charts. What makesthis single shine out from the rest are the incredibly heartfelt and emotionallyrics about love lasting throughout eternity.

The summer of '96 prompted Bliss Team's musical image to move away fromthe Hi-NRG sound of previous singles towards the Underground House scenewith their new hit, U Take Me Up, publishedon the famous INPROGRESS label (Da Blitz - Vandana - Funktastica etc. etc.).Current musical trends in Europe saw the group's musical style change onceagain with this single, this time from Progressive-NRG to energetic 130BPM piano-house with an underground feel. This musical change heard ontheir 12' Love Is Forever was augmented by the Americanizedversions produced by Vinny Noriega and Italian House/Garage DJ MaurizioArena. Like the other singles, the Artistic Producer of U Take Me Upis Jeffrey Jey. The record features four completely different versions - on side A you'll find a juicy Garage mix spinning at 130 bpm followedby a House/70's style hybrid Mix characterized by a classic 70's bass linerolling on a heavy house rhythm. Side B features a pounding piano house Mix followed by a hot electronic version with a powerful organ bass line.

February 1997 - How Can We Survive along with the known abilitiesof the American DJ Vinnie Noriega, continue their list of hits in the International House Scene. In fact, the song is already licensed in many European countries although it has just been released. Like the other singles, the artist production is assigned to Jeffrey Jey, arranged by DaVanilla and mixed by Angelica Villella

With Or Without You : a cover of the U2 smash late 80’s hit, includes 3 versions and an unreleased song called Yellow, a songin progressive musical style particular for its vocal inserts hard and hypnotic that reveals the musical tendence of it’s writer Roberto Molinaro belonging to the classic Hard Progressive Music scene. Arrangements were by Gabry Ponte (known for his great work with the Da Blitz Remixes and Sangwara), Simone Pastore (Da Blitz Musician) and MTJ Capuano (with the band since You Make Me Cry), and vocals as usual by Jeffrey Jey.

Their last single was entitled With Or Without You, it included a B-side called Yellow.
