THE BEGINNING
It all started in 2001 with two guys and a good formula. First, the Brazilian DJ's/Producers Macau and VMC joined their musical talents to make hot tunes inspired by house music. Second, they needed a strong name which could express the real meaning of being DJ's and producers. So, ALTAR was chosen. "We came from heaven. To bring you drums, happiness, dreams, fire and love" sing the duo. ALTAR comes from the summit of the clubs to pray for the music; to pray for the dance floor; to pray for the DJ's and to pray for the crowd. Their fast growing reputation was first built with the hit SEXERCISE (2003 by SHEEVA RECORDS) and became the starting point that led them to the topin clubs and on radio. The strong beats and exotic lyrics were the perfect combination that grabbed the attention of DJ's and producers. Most of them ranked the track at the top of their play lists. And it was selected for 11 special compilations, distributing their music around the world.
ALTAR HITS THE DANCEFLOOR CIRCUIT
ALTAR is among the hottest breaking news of the house music today. As DJ's and producers at heart, ALTAR plays in the top clubs in Brazil, maintaining a special bond with their public. In fact, they inspire thousands of people to dance to exclusive remixes that only can be heard in their live performances. Only the people who had opportunity to dance to ALTAR live performances can express how original and energetic they are. ALTAR are not limited to play hits, but they also dance, sing unique songs, perform with special light effects and much more. Their charisma comes from the perfect synch between the music and the fans. After building a solid career in clubs in Brazil, Altar recently took 7,000 people by storm in Rio at B*I*T*C*H, with a special appearance by Jeanie, and now they are planning a tour of the USA and Canada.
ALTAR FEAT JEANIE TRACY REACH THE TOP AT BILLBOARD!
Their new single "Party People" kept rising to the top oh thew "hot dance club play" in Billboard Magazine. The song came from the 45th position to 1 after 11 weeks. Altar is at it once again doing an AMAZING hit which will make this an anthem club song for years! You really can't go wrong with a voice like Jeanie Tracy's and a talented Brazilian duo like Altar! The vibe here is pure anthem all the way with three extended remixes including a radio edit and four remixes from some of the biggest names in the circuit scene. Party people love "Party People". The reaction from DJ's around the world has been incredible. It has a fierce beat with vocals that get you on the dance floor in a record time. In Germany it is already 1 in sales in vinyl 12". In the USA 'Party People" is also included on the new Masterbeat CD - The White Party: 2006 and is certain to be making additional appearances in the near future.
"Once you've found a good thing, never let it go. Jeanie Tracy practically invented the "Diva MC" vocal style, and despite all the imitators out there, any song belted out by Jeanie is and will always be instantly recognizable as originating from her massive lungs and is from that point forward her own. When shopping for producers, this track was passed up by several more mainstream names and was finally given the production of life by Altar, and you can bet that now those non-believers are currently kicking themselves for not having seen what this could be. This track is currently only being made available digitally, though a CD single may be in sight. In the mean time, we have it here in 8 different flavors.
