In a world increasingly divided by politics, social media, and the constant noise of conflict, The Rhythm Junctions have delivered a powerful musical antidote with their latest single, “You’ve Got To Move N’ Groove.” Released under the LVLD Music label, a sub-label of LFTD Global, this track is more than just a catchy tune; it’s a call to action for unity, understanding, and collective joy. The band, composed of multi-talented members Javiere Inniss and Jonesy B, blends their diverse influences to create a sound that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary.
The Rhythm Junctions is a duo that came together in the most modern of ways—through an online community during a global pandemic. Javiere Inniss and Jonesy B met in 2020 on a Discord server called Prism, which was popular among music enthusiasts during the lockdowns. This serendipitous encounter was sparked when Javiere, then a budding artist releasing his EP Given and a few singles, posted a message asking, “Where the Studio One fam at?” Jonesy B responded, and from that moment, a collaborative partnership was born.
Both still in high school at the time, Javiere and Jonesy instantly connected over their shared passion for music. Javiere found valuable feedback from Jonesy, which pushed him to refine his craft. Over time, they developed a close friendship that translated into a fruitful musical collaboration. Together, they have crafted a sound that draws from their mutual influences, which include powerhouse acts like Imagine Dragons, Coldplay, and Bruno Mars.
The magic behind “You’ve Got To Move N’ Groove” happened within the intimate settings of Javiere’s and Jonesy’s home studios. Both musicians are versatile in their talents, with Javiere contributing guitar, piano, bass, and vocals, while Jonesy handles drums, guitar, percussion, and production duties. They were also joined by Itunu, adding further depth to the production.
The song’s creation is marked by a fusion of styles and influences. Javiere was particularly inspired by the rhythmic intensity and vibrant style of the video game Friday Night Funkin’, which became a sensation in 2021. He also drew inspiration from Phat Hat’s “Locked Together” and the timeless music of Bob Marley. These influences helped shape the unique sound of “You’ve Got To Move N’ Groove,” blending old-school vibes with modern production techniques.
At its core, “You’ve Got To Move N’ Groove” is a call to action. The song is a reflection on the divisions that have become so pronounced in today’s world, with people often split by political views, social media echo chambers, and other forms of media-driven conflict. Through its upbeat and infectious groove, the track encourages listeners to remember the fundamental truth that we are all part of one human race.
The ethos behind the song aligns with the band’s broader philosophy. The Rhythm Junctions believe in using their music to break down barriers and promote togetherness. In a time when society feels increasingly fragmented, “You’ve Got To Move N’ Groove” offers a refreshing reminder of the power of collective joy and the importance of standing up for what’s right.
While the band is still on the rise, they have already started making waves with their music. The Rhythm Junctions’ single was recently featured live on Stay On Beat’s YouTube channel, and Javiere’s solo work, including the single “Away,” has been spotlighted on AVA Live Radio. These appearances mark just the beginning for the duo, who are eager to bring their music to a wider audience.
The Rhythm Junctions’ “You’ve Got To Move N’ Groove” is more than just a song; it’s a rallying cry for unity and positivity in a world that often feels divided. With a sound influenced by some of the biggest names in modern music and a message that resonates deeply, The Rhythm Junctions are well on their way to making a significant impact. Their journey from a chance online meeting to producing a single with over 3,000 views in production snippets is a testament to the power of collaboration, creativity, and, above all, groove.
