Candygram For Mowo!, the sixth studio album by Mocean Worker (pronounced Motion Worker), spills over with 13 delectable electro-funk party starters. Songwriter, producer, bassist and remixer Adam Dorn, the mind behind Mocean Worker, called a handful of his friends into the studio to record over a collection of breaks and beats he'd compiled. With blowing sessions from the likes of Steven Bernstein, Bill Frissell, Lyrics Born, Mindi Abair, Charlie Hunter, John Ellis and Hal Willner in hand, he went back to the lab (otherwise known as the Dornmitory), cutting, looping and mixing the fruits of their labor into the final songs on Candygram For Mowo! In what's become the signature Mocean Worker sound -- the one you've heard in countless movies, tv shows and commercials over the last ten years -- uptown swing horns and brass inspired by the big bands of the 1920s and '30s collide with late '60s soul rave-ups, while '70s rare grooves syncopate the irresistible hooks. All of this ultimately becoming final tracks that are decidedly of the moment.

Also of note, Candygram For Mowo!'s closing vignette "JD," is a tribute to Dorn's dad, the visionary record producer Joel Dorn, who passed away in 2007.
