RELEASE DATE: Jan 2009

“Magic“ is the first single by Vinny Troia and Jaidene Veda since their huge success, “Flow”.

It was also featured in Armin Van Buuren’s ‘A State of Trance 2006Åå compilation, several of Paul Oakenfold’s ‘Perfecto on Tour’ Sirius Satellite Radio Shows, Markus Schulz’ Global DJ Broadcast, Matt Darey’s ‘Nocturnal Radio’ and Paul Van Dyk’s ‘Vonyc Sessions’.

Younan seamlessly blends house, techno, tribal, and percussive grooves with building momentum. Smartminds and Heartache (Emjae’s electro moniker) also provide unique remixes for different generes of electronica. Smartminds focus on a more melodic house version while Heartache continues to pound dance floors with a dark, electro representation of his sound.

New CHANTY POE album - feat MISS ODDKID + C MONTS !!
TITLE: Yeahh
LABEL: Hottwerk Records
STYLE: Electro/hip hop/bassline/party techno
RELEASE DATE: 03.11.08
FORMAT: Cd Digipak & Download
Chanty Poe’s ‘Yeahh’ is a heavyweight contender for debut album of the year – if not the decade. Punx Soundcheck’s sinister alter ego Chanty Poe grabs the zeitgeist by the cajones with this rave-flavoured collision of electro, hip hop, bassline, and party techno. Rising stars MissOddKidd and C. Monts make guest appearances on the tracks ‘Bang Bang’ and ‘Weekend Cruise’ respectively, and a remix by acid house royalty S-Express concludes this 10 track monster – the first album to be released on Tobias Doppelganger’s rapidly ascending Hottwerk Records. From a handful of early promos, the tracks ‘YesNoMaybe’ and ‘Germs Are People’ have already been blowing up dancefloors across Europe from Parisian boat parties to Bulgarian festivals to seedy London basements. Chanty’s first vinyl outing, ‘Rudeboy’ (from the Inferno EP), which gained support from Mark Moore, Jagz Kooner, Tronik Youth, Infadels, XFM, Kiss, (amongst many others), and received a 5 * review in DJ Magazine, has been stripped down, redesigned, and rebuilt for the album. ‘Yeahh’ is supported by designers YESNOMAYBE Look out! For the limited edition Yeahh caps by YESNOMAYBE!
TRACKLISTING: 01 Yeahh Intro 02 Crank It Up 03 Germs Are People 04 Yesnomaybe 05 Rudeboy 06 Bang Bang feat Miss Oddkid 07 Weekend Cruise feat Cmonts 08 Kiss This 09 Super Super 10 Weekend Cruise Mark Moore + Kinky Rowland- S xpress remix.

Ralph Myerz NEW ALBUM !! feat TALIB KWELI etc
Artist: Ralph Myerz Title: Ralphorama! Format: CD Catalogueno: BS109CD Barcode: 7035538886003 Release date: 3rd. Nov 2008 Export: VME Erlend Sellevold is the composer and electronic main man in Ralph Myerz and the Jack Herren Band (Emperor Norton/Rycodisc). Along the years with the Jack Herren Band, there was lots of material and ideas that didn’t quite fit with the RM & TJHB formula. This material was the starting point for the work on the solo-album Ralphorama, but it is far from a collection of leftovers and b-priority material. Quite the opposite! Erlend Sellevold has been working day and night with this album for the last two years, breaking one deadline after another. And Ralphorama has become the essence of what Erlend Sellevold/Ralph Myerz stands for, a tour de force of an album with one masterpiece followed by another! Some of the tracks are style wise quite similar to the two first albums from RM&TJHB: melancholic downbeat-oriented electronica, two of them with vocals from Christine Sandtorv (courtesy of Ephemera). However, the main difference from the RM&TJHB material is in the first part of the album, where the vocalist Erlend Sellevold steps forward: a handful of tracks topped with the great 80’s white-boy-disco-rap-track All Night Long (in a duet with Caro) with tongue-in-cheek references to bands like Indeep and Modern Romance. Then the album does a new surprising turn, when Erlend is joined by a bunch of hot American rappers !: Devin The Dude, Kurupt, Taleb Kweli, Planet Asia, J Wells and others from the crews around Snoop Dog and Ice Cube. In addition we get cool guest appearances from the Jamaican rapper Lexie Lee on We Don’t Play, and the Swedish Norwegian singer Karen Park on Prison Break. Add some extra spice with minimalistic dub and smoke filled beats, and you have the full picture of the Ralphorama treat! Eclectic yes, but stick with this album as its filled with some absolute gems !! TRACKLISTING: 01 Intro 02 Hello! 03 Sometimes 04 Prison Break (feat. Karin Park) 05 All Night Long (feat. Caro) 06 The Dancer 07 Montana (Back In The Days) (feat. Devin the Dude, Onkl P and Kurupt) 08 Grey Goose (feat. Talib Kweli, Mitchy Slick, Phil the Agony and Krondon) 09 We Dont Give A Fuck (feat.

St. Vitus Dance - Glypotheque
‘Glypotheque is the second recording by St Vitus Dance. The fact that it makes its appearance a full twenty years after its predecessor, ‘Love Me, Love My Dogma’ may take a little explaining…

The songs on GLYPOTHEQUE reflect the passing of time since the release of the band’s debut album. While the band’s mastery of melody and Noel Burke’s love of language remain intact, this is no attempt to recreate past glories for the nostalgia set.
Quotes:
“Where silence is sometimes necessary, there’s still room for celebration in music. And this music has heart, humour and hope.” MELODY MAKER
“Blatant slices of pop pleasure…. There are at least 5 songs on this record that cry out for immediate single release.” HOT PRESS
“This is an album to tug at the strings of your heart and wallet.”
Glypotheque will be available on Probe plus from April
Ott - Skylon
Five years can seem like a long time if you’re not enjoying yourself. For Ott, the last five years have flown by in an instant.Skylon carries on where Blumenkraft left off. Still in evidence are the broad, all-encompassing 3d soundscapes of his previous work, the reggae influence still intact, but this time they are tempered by a more measured approach to arrangement and instrumentation. The result is a more spacious and focussed album which fills the room with rich ambience and timeless melody, underpinned by his trademark pin-sharp rhythms and monstrous basslines.
Ott's album 'skylon' is released on March 3rd 2008 on Twisted Records
The Singles - Start Again
Established in 1999, Vince Frederick set out to form a rock 'n' roll band that would capture the spirit and energy that originated from Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and all those Rock 'N' Roll legends that came before.
With a DIY attitude, and songwriting that nobody can touch these days, The Singles are back in the studio again recording their 3rd full-length album. The new record will be released late 2007/early 2008 on Sound Artifacts Music.
"My favorite new band is The Singles, who have a very cool Anglo-pop thing happening."

Wilburnsilver - This is your life
As a band, Wilburnsilver are hard to define. Rock, Blues, Folk and Indie influences play a major role in producing a sound that is of truly ecclectic proportions. Every track contains a unique characteristic that makes it different, progressive and individual in its own right, which still retains that unexplainable factor that makes it evidently, Wilburnsilver.
Their debut album ‘Looks Like Up To Me’ showcases the bands diversity and natural flair for stylistic song writing and demonstrates their ability to perform at the top of their game.
Drawing on a wide range of influences from 50's blues and rock n' roll, Wilburnsilver aim to remain rooted to sounds and values where music changes, evolves and brings raw energy and inspiration one would hear in the great artistry of Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Van Morrison and Otis Reading, to name a few.
Their album clearly demonstrates not only the edge, individuality and courage needed to put something out into the musical ether, but also displays the pride and achievement in their best work to date.
