Producers, songwriters & musicians Morten Lambertsen and Jacob Johansen, collectively known as Morjac are probably the most succesful house & club act to ever come out of denmark. They have proven time and time again that they have the vision, focus and expertise that it takes to stay in the charts. This Danish Duo count leading DJ's such as Judge Jules, Howard Richie, Roger Sanchez, Steve Smart & Pete Tong among their fans. They release records simultaneously under different disguises, such as Teamsters, Marly, Natural High, The Montanas, and Risskov Bandits, to name a few. These unique projects, produced & written by this four-armed monster known as Morjac, have earned recognition in the clubs as well as on radio, all over the world. Morjac began appearing in the international charts over five years ago--and they've simply never left them. Back in 1990, the two full-time work-a-holics, Jacob Johansen and Morten Lambertsen met in the funk group "King Kane", which had a reputation among funk lovers in Scandinavia as the party-band of the nineties. King Kane achieved wide recognition for their energy and explosive live performance. A few years later, Jacob and Morten began a duo, developing new artists and producing pre-established acts. Always in touch with the latest developments in the underground and on the pop scene, they worked hard and gained experience in the studio, where they crafted a number of Rn'B and disco tracks on an Atari and ASR 10 sampler, long before it became the fashion. Then in 2000, the record label "Montana Entertainment" was listening to some old compilations, when a 4-track demo of Jacob and Morten's earlier works caught their ear. Stunned by the sophisticated arrangements, groove and lyrics, they immediately grabbed Jacob and Morten and encouraged them to show the world what house and club music could sound like. Later that year, the pair released their first song, "Stars", under the new name Morjac. The song was a big hit, and this success gave them a hint of what their partnership could accomplish.
