Fire of Caron releases new single 'Koda'

The singer and songwriter known as Fire of Caron has released her latest single track, “Koda.” The track has been proudly published without support from the corporate music industry. Uplifting, groovy and infused with far more creativity than popular music has supplied fans in the last decade, “Koda” is clear evidence that Fire of Caron is a sculptor of sound with heart, vision, and a characteristic tone no one can emulate.


Fire of Caron's inimitable style comes from a surprising array of legendary musicians exhibiting a wide variety of genres and musical cultures. She cites as favorites such titans as Jean Michel Jarre, Bill Nelson, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Queen, T-Rex, Clannad, Pat Travers, Per Gessle, and Genesis. That which these masters have in common is the consistent thread running also through Fire of Caron's songwriting on “Koda:” a focus on melody and rhythm distinguished by a heavy dose of individuality.


Having been asked to describe the overarching message of her single, Fire of Caron replies that “It shows you don't have to have a fancy studio and lots of money. You just need guts and determination.”


The aggressive, yet feminine vocals and well-penned lyrics of “Koda” clearly communicate that these are attributes which Fire of Caron exhibits in spades. The single stands as an example of her artistic integrity and dedication, qualities of which the artist is aware and justifiably proud.


“[The final release of 'Koda'] shows I am willing to work hard to support what I believe in,” she writes.


What Fire of Caron believes in takes more time to explore and explain. Her music is grounded in and inspired by some of humanity's most significant and crucial principles.


Commenting on these ideals, Fire of Caron writes, “Since the late '90s, I've noticed how the human population has gotten out of control and how we have taken over the planet, killing anything that gets in our way. We are on this earth to harmonize, not monopolize – but we are growing out of control, building new properties on every single bit of land. We seem to be so focused on what we want for our own families, we don't think about the future of mankind or other creatures that live on this earth.”


By November of 2013, Fire of Caron had had enough.


“I decided not just to moan about the things that are going wrong, but to try to do something about it. I knew I had a talent for songwriting and could hear other instruments, and although I only played the keyboard and sang, I knew I could use the keyboard for all the instruments that were missing … I would make music, and the funds I would get from it I would use to campaign about environmental issues, animal cruelty, etc. My motto is 'Supporting nature through music.'”


Music isn't her only weapon, though. The artist has proved beyond the most reasonable expectations
that she's sincere about making a real difference.


“I left a full-time job to do what I believe in and what I love,” she writes. “I just hope I can at least help the planet if I can't save it!”


The UK's Pontefract and Castleford Express ran an article detailing Fire of Caron's quest, titled “Leaving the Office to Save the Planet” (link provided below).


“Koda” by Fire of Caron is available online worldwide.

Person Natalie releases new EP 'Off the Grid'

The composer and saxophonist known as Person Natalie has released her debut EP album, “Off the Grid.” The record comprises four original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 20 minutes, making for a comprehensive introduction to the growing Person Natalie repertoire. Commonly listed online as contemporary jazz music, the “Off the Grid” EP has elements of both cool and smooth jazz, but focuses on Person Natalie's highly intuitive, consistently surprising sax phrases.


This eclectic manner of composition comes from her broadly diverse pool of musical influences. Person Natalie cites “Aretha Franklin to Motown artists like Sam and Dave; Wilson Pickett all the way to Johnny Cash; Merle Haggard to classic rock, Fleetwood Mac, the Who, Van Halen, Steely Dan … Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Jeff Lorber Fusion, Little Dragon, Silversun Pickups and Charlie Parker.”


Clearly, Person Natalie has access to every tonal hue with which to paint her sonic pictures. An early name for her project, the 'Natalie Person Disorder,' bespoke the unique nature of her sound.


“I think stylistically, it's pretty varied. I really love Jazz too, especially being a sax player, although I want to make it clear that I am not a jazz musician. Many of my chord choices definitely reflect my jazz influences and training (from Saddleback). My goal, as far as music is concerned, is just to write an interesting, compelling song and 'kill it' on the sax.”


While Person Natalie's “Off the Grid” EP is based on composition and instrumentation, it still manages a great deal of narrative.


“Each song tells its own story, simply put,” she writes. “'Some Clarity' is about gaining perspective, balancing out – having your vision adjusted, so to speak. 'Moonlighting at JPL' is about my tendency to daydream. I'm not afraid to dream a little. 'Kevlar Up' is about bracing to weather the storms of life, to toughen up and block the attempts of anybody trying to burst your bubble. 'Carmen's Mix' is a song I wrote for my sister.”


“Carmen's...” closes out the EP. It has a special place in Person Natalie's set. “I like what I did with the saxophone in this one,” she writes.


Perhaps most remarkable about Person Natalie's writing and performing style is how clearly it communicates her mood and character, both during her performance of the song and at the time of the song's composition.


“It's a good creative outlet,” she writes. “If it goes somewhere, great. If it doesn't, it sure is good therapy, regardless. One of my favorite quotes is something John Lennon said: 'One's originality comes from his inability to emulate those that influenced him.'”


“Off the Grid” by Person Natalie is available online worldwide. Get in early.

Mark Bryce releases new EP 'Celebrate Life'

The singer and songwriter known as Mark Bryce has released his latest EP record, “Celebrate Life.” The extended-play album comprises four original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 15 minutes. It has been published on the Cedar Creek Records independent music
label. A blend of pop, modern folk, and country music, “Celebrate Life” by Mark Bryce has something for everyone and proves that this American performer deserves his FM airtime.

Asked to describe his main artistic influences, Mark writes, “I'm influenced by a variety of great songs and artists. My biggest musical heroes are Mellencamp, Springsteen and Bon Jovi. Some of my current
fav's include several artists in the country-crossover genre including Blake Shelton, Keith Urban and the Zac Brown Band.”

Mark Bryce's “Celebrate Life” EP belongs in a play list which might include the above artists, yet maintains its own unique sound. Much of this comes from the character of Mark Bryce, himself.

“My mom was a huge Elvis fan,” the native of Long Island, NY writes. “Some of my earliest memories are from watching classic live broadcasts of Elvis Presley. Seeing the innate coolness he had along with the overwhelming audience reaction just made me want to be a part of that energy and excitement. I got my first guitar at age seven and began to emulate Elvis. It wasn't long after until I started writing my first songs.”

Some of the Elvis Presley swagger persists in Mark's music, giving it a direct and determined tone that is neither too aggressive nor arrogant. Another significant part of his musical chemistry is the folk-style
narrative of his songs, each of which is based on the life of Mark Bryce, himself. Even his professional name, in fact, is part of his ongoing story.

Mark had moved from his small-town environment on Long Island to Hollywood with a friend. He unabashedly admits they had big dreams and “stars in our eyes.”

“Several years into life in Hollywood,” he writes, “my best friend from back home who had moved to LA and was my roommate tragically lost his life (this is referenced in the song 'Celebrate Life'). His name was Bryce. That's where I got my last name. I use the stage name Mark Bryce as a way of honoring him and making him apart of this next chapter of my life.”

Mark Bryce has since returned to Long Island, the tale of which is recounted in his “Yellow Brick Road.” He hopes to make a place for himself soon in Nashville, TN, also.

“Celebrate Life” by Mark Bryce is available online worldwide.

Suited Records music label opens doors

A new independent music label called Suited Records opened its doors in June of 2014. The label has been launched by veteran music writer Roy Cooper and already has a catalog of more than ten official releases. “The Magic of Christmas,” “Flowers to Arlington,” and “The Fireman” are among the most popular titles, but scores of songs have been made available for sampling and purchase, many with official videos also for sampling and purchase. Nearly all selections published under the Suited Records label benefit an associated charity as noted at the official Suited Records website (link provided below).

Suited Records gets its name from the denotation of the word 'suited,' which means appropriate, satisfactory, suitable, befitting, or “right for a particular purpose or situation because of having all of the qualities needed.”

True to their name, Suited Records pairs many of their releases with an appropriate charity; for example, a portion of sales from “The Fireman” (a tribute song for the 343 firemen killed on 9/11) go to support dependents of firemen killed at work, and a percentage of sales from “Heaven's Window” go to help needy families of servicemen wounded or lost in the line of duty.

“We are very selective about our releases,” writes founder Roy Cooper, “and our songs cover a wide range of subjects and themes. A Christmas song, a few tribute songs, one about the destruction of our planet, and another concerned with animal welfare, are just a few available to watch and listen to.”

Suited Records isn't merely a way to do good in the world through music, however. It's also a celebration of a life lived in music.

“I have been writing songs and making music videos for over 30 years now,” writes founder Roy Cooper, “and after passing the 70-year-old milestone, I felt it was time to make a more positive move in getting my songs heard and my music videos seen.

“When I told my wife my plan to start my own record label and build this website, she said, 'What, at your age?' and I laughed and replied, 'Whilst there's breath in me, I will always try.' So I beavered away on my PC and here we are.”

The artists and various performers featured on the Suited Records website are widely varied and numerous.

“This is just a selection of the song catalog that I have built up over the years with my wife Helen and co-writers from around the world,” Cooper explains. “We will be adding more of them to the Suited Records label over the next few months. During my journey I have made friends with many talented songwriters whom I never would have met had it not been for the Internet. My thanks go to them all, and also to the Internet.”

Suited Records is open for business at http://suitedrecords.com/

GhostSynth releases new single 'Ultraviolet'

The composer and producer of electronica and house music known as GhostSynth has released his latest single, “Ultraviolet.” The track has been concurrently released with three additional singles, “Game Changer,” “Journey,” and “Lethal Injection,” all available online worldwide. These tracks showcase GhostSynth as one of London's most creative and unpredictable composers of house music, as well as one of the names to watch as the dubstep craze begins to give ground to the lasting power of house and trance EDM.

GhostSynth cites as main artistic influences many of the founding fathers of the European electronica sound and of popular electronic music in general, such as Giorgio Moroder, Jan Hammer, Joe Meek, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, Michael Jackson, Grandmaster Flash, Eric Prydz, Swedish House Mafia, and deadmau5. His own sound hearkens to the early days of digital dancefloors, when bands like KLF, EMF and the Orb ruled “alternative” radio stations and kept beats alive. It was in these formative years that GhostSynth found his sonic calling.

“The 90s…” he reminisces. “I will always remember the day my other brother came home from work with a record in his hand. It was a famous rave tune at the time. I remember listening to it and being absolutely blown away by its sounds and intensity. At that time the UK hardcore scene was thriving and you would hear these manic sounds everywhere while pirate radio battled to keep us entertained with the latest white-label releases … I lived and breathed music and so it was only natural that I gradually began making my own tunes, just like my brother used to do. I began with hardcore and gradually moved to drum 'n' bass before finally settling into house music.”

The house music GhostSynth makes is pared down to its core elements. Instrumentation is sparse, melodies are bright and clear, and his overall composition proves that excess is not his thing. Songs like “Ultraviolet” and “Game Changer” glow in their sonic simplicity.

“I have been making music for many years now and enjoyed every minute of it,” GhostSynth writes. “I love the idea of being able to express myself through music and hope people will enjoy what I do. I have a broad taste in music and always keep an open mind about what I am hearing.”

“Ultraviolet,” as well as “Game Changer,” “Journey,” and “Lethal Injection” by GhostSynth, are available at 700+ online stores around the globe.

SixStringSurfer releases new single 'Kick That Ball – Soccer Singalong Song'

The Netherlands-based rock crew known as SixStringSurfer have released their latest single, “Kick That Ball – Soccer Singalong Song.” The track is a classic-rock jam in the tradition of such sports-adopted tracks as Gary Glitter's “Rock 'n' Roll Part II” and Queen's “We Will Rock You,” written and recorded specifically to celebrate the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The track is straightforward, fun, energetic, and sure to add spice to any futbol parties anywhere in the world.

SixStringSurfer cite as main artistic influences such legends as Slade, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Rammstein, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Moore, Larry Carlton, Wes Montgomery, Beyonce, Madonna, Andrea Bocelli, Beethoven, Bach, and Erik Satie. Of these, most of their inspiration for “Kick That Ball” comes from Zeppelin and Sabbath, the resulting blend sounding not unlike the more thumping moments of AC/DC.

Asked to describe the inherent meanings of “Kick That Ball,” SixStringSurfer writes, “It's an original rock song by SixStringSurfer for everybody who loves football / soccer! Listen and sing and shout along! Have fun and enjoy football! Listen to this song and feel and enjoy the groove and energy of it, yeah! Ev'rybody's goin' crazyyyyyyy!”

SixStringSurfer's enthusiasm for the sport of soccer is plain to see, and especially as regards the current contest in South America.

“This is a general football song,” they write, “but of course this song is also very suitable as a soccer singalong song for World Cup Soccer 2014 in Brazil!”

SixStringSurfer is made up of Vinnie and Ernie, AKA BrainStorm. Vinnie has been playing guitar for more than two decades, largely along the rock, pop, and blues lines. Having been brought up singing traditionally, it was not until he heard the singing of Rammstein's Till Lindemann that he realized he, too, could front a rock band.

Ernie's musical talents stretch from guitar to keyboards, bass to drums, songwriting, composing, engineering, mixing, and even mastering music. He has played for many years in a Pink Floyd tribute band as well as several others, and spends his extra time producing music in the sound studio.

“Kick That Ball – Soccer Singalong Song” is available online worldwide. Don't miss the official music video, either, also available online.

Lou Ward releases new single 'I Wanna Know What You're Thinking!'

The singer and songwriter known as Lou Ward has released his latest single, “I Wanna Know What You're Thinking!” The single has been released worldwide with an official music video. A funky, groovy track with elements of soul, R 'n' B and Motown, “I Wanna Know What You're Thinking!” is a song with which anyone can relate.

Ward cites as main artistic influences such legends as Smokey Robinson, James Brown, Al Green, Sam Cooke, and David Ruffin. Attributes of each of these can be easily discerned in his “I Wanna Know...” single, and fans of them are likely to receive the single with appropriate enthusiasm.

Asked to elaborate on the themes of his new single, Lou Ward writes, “The key to a healthy relationship is communication. The most important key to relationship communication is emotional listening. This involves telling each other what's really on your mind, what you are thinking. This connecting is the foundation of knowing how to show up for each other and allow the relationship to blossom and thrive.”

Ward has been singing since early childhood. His first accolade was in high school, winning the statewide Male Low Voice Competition by performing Paul Robeson's “Old Man River.” He began penning his own songs soon after. He wrote music in college as well as during his tour with the US Navy. An agent for Sony Records and the Apollo Theater heard Ward's music and Ward was nearly signed to Sony in 1992. Circumstances prevented this, and Ward dedicated himself to his wife and family to raise their children.

The music world was not done with him, however.

“The situation presented itself where I realized that a lot of guys were asking me about relationships and what makes a relationship successful,” he writes. “I thought that if I developed a system based on my experiences, others would benefit from the effort. I felt that the best way to get the message out about the importance of emotional listening would be a song, so 'I Wanna Know What You’re Thinking!' was born.”

“I Wanna Know What You're Thinking!” is available online worldwide beginning 21 June 2014.

Farewell Friend releases new single 'Brother's Keeper'

The indie band known as Farewell Friend have released their latest single, “Brother's Keeper.” The track has been released concurrently with two B-side offerings, “One Week One Thought” and “They All Were Dancing.” Together the trio comprise an approximate total listening time of approximately fifteen minutes, making this early release from Farewell Friend similar to an unofficial EP, but still bearing the price tag of a single.

Farewell Friend cite as main artistic influences Ryan Adams, Ray LaMontagne, Bon Iver, and Tom Petty. While their own sound has attributes which are evidently inspired by these, the ultimate Farewell Friend experience is unique. Their vocals lie somewhere between Ryan Adams and Mumford and Sons, which is intuitive, but occasionally exhibit fleeting touches of Liam Gallagher of Oasis (“They All Were Dancing” in particular). A vibraphone lends “Brother's Keeper” colorful and uplifting undertones which soften the emotional tension, such creative instrumentation as one is unlikely to find on the next Magnetic Zeros record.

Asked to comment on the themes of their “Brother's Keeper” single, Farewell Friend write, “It speaks of death and avoiding giving in to our 'lesser angels.' We all have goals and expectations in life but we seldom hear songs about what we have to give up along the road of adventure. This single expresses the stagnation felt by being caught in environments or circumstances of our own choosing. It confesses fears of putting our hearts and hopes in danger while we want to chase after the things in which we believe.”

In the end, the message seems a stoic one.

“Life's a gamble and some things are out of reach,” they conclude.

The band's official bio describes Farewell Friend as “the recent collaboration of Thomas Troyer, David Wimbish, Michael Kuehn, and Virginia Wimmer. They endeavor to re-evaluate pop and folk sensibilities and dichotomies in order to tell stories that connect with people in new ways. This connection seeks to go past the raging emotive banter that much of indie-folk rock thrives on and instead share some of the more conflicting, elusive, yet more resolute facets of human experience. The aesthetic is organic and textures simplistic. We hope the sound never obscures the meaning.”

“Brother's Keeper” by Farewell Friend is available online worldwide. Get in early.

Lif Bux releases new single 'Glory Lane'

The rapper and songwriter of hip hop known as Lif Bux has released his latest single, “Glory Lane.” The single has been released on the Funksect Records music label, publisher of the popular “Le Dernier Cri” series of compilation albums. The highly anticipated second volume of “Le Dernier Cri” was issued in September of 2013. Already being received with the same intense level of fanfare, “Glory Lane” by Lif Bux promises to be Funksect's most prominent release to date, one which stands to put both Lif Bux and Funksect on the radar of audiophiles everywhere.

Lif Bux cites as main artistic influences Pharrell Williams and Michael Jackson. As might be intuited from this sonic pairing, “Glory Lane” signifies Lif Bux as an eclectic songwriter with exquisite taste who blends pop, funk and hip hop together for a danceable, groovy experience suitable for parties, clubs, and casual listening alike.

“Funksect Records is hosting a single-album release and tribute of hip-hop classics by reintroducing the genre with a contemporary approach from Lif Bux,” writes Funksect Records. “We are proud to introduce the single, 'Glory Lane' by Lif Bux and Nex Millen. 'Glory Lane' is a taste of the album entitled 'Classic Awakening,' graciously unfolding as an inspiring gift and instinctive feeling of deja vu. Fasten your seat belts for a real funky and familiar feeling of true creativity!”

Lif Bux is a native of Philadelphia and has worked with several A-list musicians, such as Jazmine Sullivan, and has opened for such legends as Wiz Khalifa. He is active in the theatrical community and recently released a short film, “Built from the Ground Up.” His thriving fan base boasts members from both musical and theatrical circles.

Anthony D. Harrison releases new single 'Happy Anniversary'

The singer of rhythm and blues known as Anthony D. Harrison has released his latest single, “Happy Anniversary.” The track is a romantic homage to blushing brides everywhere as well as to the institution of marriage overall. It has been published on the Image Maker Records music label. “Happy Anniversary” is the most significant release from Anthony D. Harrison since his popular “I Would” release on Image Maker, which appeared on digital shelves in May of 2014. This was preceded by his equally celebrated “Freebird” single from the same publisher approximately a year earlier. “Happy Anniversary” also has the distinction of being Harrison's first Image Maker single to be released with a corresponding official music video (link provided below).

Fans of R 'n' B written and performed in the soulful, traditional style have been enthusiastic about new material from Anthony D. Harrison since the 2013 announcement of his collaboration with veteran music producer Elroy Jackson, better known in industry circles as Thaproduca. Harrison cites as main artistic influences such legends as Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Earth Wind and Fire, and Cameo. Music fans who have enjoyed records from this distinguished roster have much reason to lend an ear to Harrison's “Happy Anniversary,” as it stands as one of the most prominent modern examples of the legitimate R 'n' B sound to emerge in some time.

Speaking of the themes in Harrison's new single, Thaproduca writes for Image Maker Records, “This single speaks of love, and the fact that with true love, 'Everyday is a new anniversary.'”

Anthony D. Harrison’s official bio describes him as an “Oakland, CA native who has been singing since a very early age. His journey through the music world has led him on a very magical ride. He has performed with some of the best male groups as he grew into a finished product. Now he has taken all his years of experience and put them into his present project, and magic has been made.”

“Happy Anniversary” by Anthony D. Harrison is available online worldwide. Be sure not to miss the official video, also available online from Image Maker Records.

Cursees Connect release debut self-titled EP

The Canadian indie rockers known as Cursees Connect have released their debut self-titled EP album. The record has been independently published on the Cursees Records label without support from the corporate music industry. The “Cursees Connect” EP comprises six original tracks for an approximate total listening time of half an hour. It is preceded by their popular “Locked Lips, Loose Spell” single release which heralded the impending publication of the debut album. The EP has been highly anticipated in Canada and abroad since before that time.

Cursees Connect cite as main artistic influences Radiohead, Silverchair, Wintersleep, Hayden, 311, John Mayer, Wilco and Coldplay. Their own sound is a melange of attributes gleaned from these artists which do not so much mirror them as seemingly bloom from evident inspirations. The tracks on “Cursees Connect” can themselves be surprisingly disparate in terms of tone and style, each stemming from an emotion requiring a rhythm, riff and groove all its own to be roundly communicated.

Even so, there remains an overarching “Cursees Connect” -ness which holds the EP into a well-braided and consistent whole. The band's remarkably unique and creative songwriting bears enough complexity to furnish listeners with weeks and even months of replays, enough to tide the most avid fan over until Cursees Connect's inevitable full-length record hits digital shelves.

The official Cursees Connect website describes the band as “an indie rock band from Fredericton, NB. Sometimes edgy, sometimes spacious, sometimes sexy and sweet, their songs are propelled by driving bass groves and soaring melodies, creating a dynamic and passionate blend that has been energizing audiences throughout New Brunswick.”

Cursees Connect are Mathieu Emond, Bryan Harn, Curtis Smith, and Lindsay Brin.

The “Cursees Connect” EP is available online worldwide. Get in early.

Mr. Mil releases new single 'Let's Hang Out'

The singer and songwriter known as Mr. Mil, KingOfNextLevel has released his latest single, “Let's Hang Out.” The single appeared in early June of 2014 at online music stores around the globe and has been steadily climbing the National Airplay Top 50 Independent chart ever since. It has been proudly released on the TSCircle Music record label. Spacious, groovy, and founded on Mr. Mil's infectious and iconic vocal delivery, “Let's Hang Out” by Mr. Mil isn't just the artist's most prominent foray into hip hop, but also his most ambitious one.

“Using music as a tool, my primary purpose is to help empower others,” says Mr. Mil on his MTV Artists website.

Mr. Mil (AKA KingOfNextLevel) treats music as his natural environment. He relates that his life revolves around the art of making music and that his future lies in having created a vast repertoire of singles, EPs and LPs for the world to enjoy and take heart in.

“I focus on every aspect of creating the music,” he writes. “I create real music for all, not just a particular body of people. So I don't create just for the hood. I take a strong and careful focus on the lyrical content, lyrical rhythms and down to every element of composing the music and marketing the product.”

Mr. Mil, who originally hails from Chicago, has been writing his particular brand of music since 1993.

“I am an addict of creating great music,” writes KingOfNextLevel. “I wake up almost everyday with catchy choruses being the first thoughts to come to my mind. Music is not something I try to create or have a difficult time writing or producing. It's naturally flowing through my spirit.”

Mr. Mil KingOfNextLevel debuted on the National Airplay Top 200 Chart at #181 on April 4, 2014 and had climbed to #29 on the Top 50 Independent Chart eight days later. Sharing space on this chart were such names as Lorde, Drake, John Legend, Adele, One Direction, Jason Derulo, Lady GaGa, Daft Punk, Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5, AVICII, Flo Rida, Ke$ha, Eminem and Pharrell Williams. Mr. Mil has also charted with the recognized music authority, Record World Magazine.

“Let's Hang Out” by Mr. Mil is available online worldwide.

Dr. Eric Fassbender releases new album 'Calming The Troubled Mind – Volume I'

Dr. Eric Fassbender has released his new album, “Calming The Troubled Mind – Volume I (Overcoming Anxiety with Empowering Mantras and the Soothing Sounds of Nature).” The album comprises eight tracks for a total listening time of over one hour, and has been released on the Sound Energy Records label. Soothing, healing, and deeply therapeutic, Dr. Fassbender's “Calming the Troubled Mind – Volume I” directly represents the curative powers of nature, as well as the potential of sonic therapy in general.

Dr. Fassbender is associated with the naturalist production team known as Wild Eden Nature Sounds, with whom he has released an array of nature recordings which includes “Journey to Australia,” “Birds of the North Australian Tropical Rainforest,” “Birds of Australia's National Parks,” “Journey to Tasmania,” and “Journey to the Top End.” His new series, “Calming the Troubled Mind,” is the latest in his growing collection of sounds which can augment meditation, act as sleep aids, or merely create an atmosphere of cool serenity. These records include “Dream Waves,” “Tibetan Singing Bowl,” “Celestial Wind Chimes,” and others.

“I first experienced the soothing power of pure and undisturbed nature sounds on a bush walk in 2002,” writes Dr. Fassbender. “Since then I have recorded sounds of nature to bring the peace and quiet that I experience in untouched wilderness areas to other people who do not have the opportunity to travel to peaceful places. I have further explored the power of sound as part of my PhD on the effect of music on learning, and through this research found more and more evidence for the benefits of listening to nature sounds on anxiety, insomnia, tinnitus, stress and pain. I now direct my energy towards helping others to experience the soothing and calming powers of nature.”

The track titles on “Calming the Troubled Mind” serve as suggested mantras for meditation, the first half of the title being considered on the intake of breath, the second on exhaling. For example, “Smile to Body – Releasing Tension” may be recited mentally or out loud while the sounds of a bubbling brook massage the psyche of the listener.

“The mantras are of course entirely optional,” Dr. Fassbender writes, “and if you just want to listen to the pure and peaceful sounds of nature then you are of course free to do just that. Because, let me assure you, even by themselves, the sounds of nature are sure to calm your troubled mind.”

And what of the physiological effects of exposure to natural sounds?

The Doctor explains: “There are numerous studies that show the beneficial effects that listening to the sounds of nature has on anxiety. Examples include pregnant women who experience anxiety in various stages of their pregnancy, pre- and post-operative surgery patients, as well as people who are having wounds treated or those affected by cancer. But listening to nature sounds to reduce anxiety is not just restricted to these examples. Immersing ourselves in nature is generally effective in almost any situation where anxiety is experienced.”

Riddim to Dem Ent. releases new Sashae single 'Wi Deh Deh'

The singer and songwriter known as Sashae has released her latest contemporary reggae single, “Wi Deh Deh.” The track has been proudly and prominently released on the up-and-coming, rapidly growing music label, Riddim to Dem Entertainment, which is based in southern Florida and maintains its deep cultural roots in Jamaica. “Wi Deh Deh” is the most significant single to be published from Sashae since her popular official video release, “Dem Nuh Bad EarthQuake Riddim” in December of 2013.

In stark contrast to Sashae's arresting and aggressive rhymes in “...EarthQuake Riddim,” “Wi Deh Deh” is an energetic, carefree anthem that lifts spirits high in celebration and proves that Riddim to Dem has yet another talented performer on their hands in the form of singer-songwriter Sashae. Sashae is primarily a reggae and dancehall musician, but also laces her music with elements of other forms of pop music which will attract a wide variety of music listeners.

Her latest title, “Wi Deh Deh,” is a Jamaican Patois phrase which can be loosely translated as, “We're there!” Asked to elucidate the general theme and message of her new song, Sashae writes, “Party vybz [vibes]! Anywhere the party's at, I'm there. Just the love of music – having a good time.”

Her deep love of music in general is a main focus in her personal as well as professional life. Asked to describe how it is that she came to perform and record music at the very beginning, she keeps it simple.

“[I started music] by just having the love for music, and by coming from Jamaica with a dancehall and reggae background while listening to all genres of music, too.”

This broad interest in all the varieties of music available to her appears in her new single as attributes and elements not necessarily expected in a reggae or dancehall release, giving her single a fresh, new sheen and sound.

“Wi Deh Deh” by Sashae is available online worldwide from Riddim to Dem Ent.

Trevor English releases new single 'Give Mi Little Loving Girl'

The singer and songwriter known as Trevor English has released his latest single, “Give Mi Little Loving Girl.” The track has been released on the Takae Records music label. Full of rhythm and island flavor, “Give Mi Little Loving Girl” is the most recent reason Trevor English has been revered as one of the best contemporary reggae performers of the last three decades both in the United States and the Caribbean, as well as further abroad.

Trevor English (who is also often billed as Trevor AKA English) cites as main artistic influences such legends of the island sound as Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Delroy Wilson, Bob Andy, and former ska artist from the Police, Sting. His own inimitable singing and music composition style falls not far from these trees, either. English's singing on “Give Mi Little Loving Girl” is expertly executed, rich in natural undertones yet startlingly precise.

This should not come as a surprise, as Trevor English has been singing professionally for over 25 years.

“I started music at an early age,” writes the musician, “listening to to all the great reggae artists of my era.”

Trevor English was born in London, England to Jamaican parents from Malvern, St. Elizabeth. He emigrated to California's music hub of Los Angeles in 1982, where he immediately gained traction as a performer and began to work with some of the most influential reggae artists of the last three decades. His roster of legends with whom he has worked reads like a list of must-hear musicians from the genre: Joe Higgs, Tinga Stewart, Fully Fullwood, Santa Davis, Tony Chin, Pato Banton, Papa Michigan, Richie Spice, Warrior King, Konshens, and Yellow Man.

English recently took part in the Sing with Reggae Legends competition, held at Don the Beachcomber's in “Surf City,” Huntington Beach, CA.

Asked to describe the message his new single has for his fans, English said simply, “Love, fun and harmony.”

“Give Mi Little Loving Girl” by Trevor English is available online worldwide.

Justin Blankenship releases new LP 'Turpentine'

The singer and songwriter known as Justin Blankenship has released his latest LP record, “Turpentine.” The record comprises nine original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 45 minutes. It has been proudly published without support from the corporate music industry as an entirely independent release. Heartfelt, raw, highly melodic and narrative, “Turpentine” by Justin Blankenship is one of the best modern examples of America's continually evolving folk tradition.

While Blankenship's “Turpentine” will and should be found most commonly in the folk section of online music stores, it is peppered with influences from a broad swath of various genres. Blankenship cites as main artistic inspirations such disparate artists as: Hank Williams and Soundgarden; Otis Redding and Tool; Old Crow Medicine Show and Kurt Cobain; Aretha Franklin, Radiohead, Amy Winehouse, and the Black Keys. This surprising melange is in addition to a longer list including a great many lesser-known performers from an even wider sonic territory.

This mentality shows in the creative variance of “Turpentine” and it's delightfully deliberate.

“I'm always drawn to albums that aren't so formulaic,” Blankenship writes. “I like stylistic variety to be present and intentional. That's something I strive for when creating an album, always expecting it to somehow all fit together in it's own way without having to be forced.”

The elasticity of Blankenship's style emerges as an effect of his multifaceted musical personality. His songs change in sound, tone, and theme sometimes radically, yet somehow dovetail to make a consistent whole.

Blankenship writes, “This album is as random as my own life. It's an accurate reflection of my transiency, while reminding the listener that simply because something refuses to be clung to or captured, doesn't mean it can't stay with you in other ways. It's also a challenge to the audience to find value in that which is not so methodically gathered together and packaged to be easily digested by some undiscerning lowest-common-denominator.”

And the album's title?

“Turpentine is a solvent. And much like a solvent, my main object is to dissolve other substances: mainly expectations, genres, standards of perfection, etc.”

“Turpentine” by Justin Blankenship is available online worldwide. Get in early.

Meditation Toronto releases new album 'Mantra Meditation'

The yoga group known as Meditation Toronto have released their new EP music album, “Mantra Meditation.” The record has been released by Meditation Toronto, also sometimes billed as the Toronto Meditation Group. Although “Mantra Meditation” is listed as an EP for containing just five original tracks, it has an approximate total listening time of 45 minutes and is therefore longer than many full-length releases. “Mantra Meditation” is intended as accompaniment to the ancient practice of mantra meditation, but serves equally well as soothing music in general.

The sound of “Mantra Meditation” is mellow and natural, guided by delicate female vocals in the tradition of India's best-loved kirtan and mantra singers. Its instrumentation is tastefully composed and played in such a way as to not obstruct the listener's peace of mind, but rather to enhance the meditation experience by providing a refreshing and uplifting environment. Songs from the record may be sampled at the Meditation Toronto official website (link provided below).

“We are a group of people who meditate,” writes Meditation Toronto. “We practice and teach an ancient form of yoga known as mantra meditation. Mantras are spiritual or transcendental sounds that have a soothing effect on the soul. We teach others how to meditate free of charge.”

The group's official website describes meditation with the following:

“Although meditation is oftentimes thought to be nothing more than a method for stress relief and the improvement of physical health, the real value of meditation goes far beyond these benefits. The immediately noticeable effects of meditation are that we feel a little lighter, less burdened by artificial 'needs' and desires. We become calmer and more relaxed. Gradually we will develop insight with regard to our true needs and how we can attain real satisfaction and happiness.”

They also describe the effects of meditation as not only bringing relief from stress and anxiety, but also giving the practitioner a taste of spiritual happiness. “A happiness that is beyond the senses and mind,” they write “– a happiness in the heart.”

Meditation Toronto's message for their “Mantra Meditation” EP can be summarized in this short blessing taken from their site.

“Take a break from the world. Rest your heart and mind. Be happy and satisfied by experiencing your inherent spiritual nature.

“Welcome to the world of meditation, the spiritual essence of yoga! You are very welcome to attend any of our meditation events or come to a free meditation class.”

The “Mantra Meditation” EP by Meditation Toronto is available online worldwide.

De Lion release new LP 'Ego Maniacs'

The alternative rock crew known as De Lion have released their latest LP album, “Ego Maniacs.” The record comprises eleven original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 45 minutes. It has proudly been published without support from the corporate music industry on the Ariel De Lion independent record label. A modern, creative twist on the alt-rock and grunge tradition of the early 1990s, “Ego Maniacs” is a colorful and thought-provoking record that proves there are still unique sounds yet to be found in rock music today.

De Lion (often stylized De///Lion) cite as main artistic influences some of the most avant-garde and intelligent rock groups ever to hit the stage or studio: System of a Down, Alice in Chains, Rage Against the Machine, Chris Cornell, Amen, Anti-Flag, Crass, and Radiohead. Of these especially, De Lion have blended the funky, offbeat feel and precision songwriting of System of a Down with the shadowy, skulking undertones of Alice in Chains to arrive at a character that is all their own. Fans of any / all the aforementioned artists will be enthused by the similarities and surprising singularities of De Lion on “Ego Maniacs.”

De Lion are composed of brothers Yaron and Adi Vaknin, Carla Saul, and Ariel De Lion, all hailing from Tel Aviv and New York respectively. Early recordings of “Ego Maniacs” became a popular background score to the Occupy Wall Street movement, as its lyrics are exactly worded and politically charged in the vein of acts such as Rage Against the Machine, Crass, and Dead Kennedys. Topics include such themes as dictatorships, celebrities, and nuclear warheads.

De Lion's first single, “Trash, Birds? Rats. Idea!” has been in regular circulation on hundreds of radio stations in the U.S. since its original publication. The animated video of the title track from their new LP, “Ego Maniacs,” has been viewed many thousands of times and was featured at the Sacramento film and Music Festival, CA, as well as in many online magazines.

“Ego Maniacs” by De Lion is available online worldwide.

Fadi Awad's New Awesome Album "Ultimate Selection"!

On the 27th of May 2014, Fadi Awad has released his new album "Ultimate Selection", distributed through the same panel that distributes to Universal Music Group digitally! The album contains new versions of many existing tracks that fit radios, clubs and more... As well as 2 brand new tracks: A mash up of "Take Me Higher & Into Deep", and the long instrumental mix of his upcoming single "World Soccer", that will be released in June! A single that fits all the Soccer tournaments, starting from FIFA WORLD CUP 2014!...

After being posted by Juno Download for around a week as Pre-Release, the album has made it and leaded the sales charts of Pop-Trance albums there straight after the release!!!... The album was charted in ITunes new releases chart, as well as many tracks have been highly charted in Beatport and other stores which is a good kick off!

"Our team has done a good step forward! Our aim is to be hosted completely by a Major Company! We deserve this, we have good charted pieces and wonderful artists on board! Effective promotion costs a lot these days, we don't have a sponsor and we have families to feed!" and Fadi proceeded: "I'm not a limited electronic music producer, I'm a music producer and composer who composes many good genres! We always try not to imitate anyone! We have our own style that is in the middle between Music & Electronic Music, taking from what we consider good from new and old styles, which gives our music a distinguish flavor... We take what is beautiful from everywhere because the good music doesn't have an expiry date! Many artists do that... After all, when you consider music composing a limited science project, it's not music anymore... We basically do music for audience ears from all ages, that's why we focus on the beauty of the melodies and we avoid using noisy instruments and over using effects to cover our musicology weakness, because it doesn't exist!!! We are Musicians, we studied music, we play music & play on music instruments, we are not Webmasters who work in music composing! Notice that most of our singers are professionals, perform with top bands, and we even have famous ones on board, not just simple vocalists. And, we don't use vocoders in our recordings!... I do many genres because I've been in the industry since 1986 and been there when many genres went up and down, so I'm naturally influenced by the good tracks from many good genres! In the 80s & 90s and in the first years of the second millenium, the radios & clubs didn't use to hire DJs unless they test them well in every good genre! Not like now... The old school days were different. We counted on our hands to build up, not basically on technology... We now respect every old and new artist & think that they should respect the same way we do... Making fun of old artists & bands is ironic, childish, & unprofessional because those who do this don't even have the quarter of music Awards & achievements that were earned & done by those old gold Legends... It's better for everyone to focus on minding their own businesses to dig their ways to success... I do believe that it is time for the DJs/Producers to unite more in the Industry! It's not necessary to collaborate only with those who produce your same genre! On the contrary, collaboration is more successful with different producers because the volume of audience will grow more and you both introduce yourselves to each others fans! It's like the different fingers in a hand! I've been asking all the nations since 1998 to do Governmental Syndicates for DJs to organize this job and to secrure a better future for all the DJs (just like labors and all...)! We hope that many DJs work on this matter effectively to achieve it as well, it is needed because if this job continues to go backwards, the real DJ will soon add to his long jobs list "GOGO DANCER"!!!"

At that time, everyone who were there laughed, then a reporter asked him: "We have noticed last year and the years before that many brilliant International Artists were honored in USA, which is good for them, while their countries main music & media institutions didn't even know about their existence & achievements, or pretended not to! Generally speaking, isn't it a humiliation for such local institutions when their local artists are discovered, evaluated and honored abroad, in a Major Music Country, without being discovered and supported locally first? How do you explain this???"... Fadi replied:" USA was always been and still the Mother of the international English Music Artists. It has the biggest capacities & the best policies to discover, help and promote international artists based on clear requirements (high talent level, clear criteria...). Throughout the History, the majority of the Legends & Artists became famous due to their concerts & deals done in USA & still... In the music and media institutions, there are Star Makers and copy pastors... USA's music and media institutions are the leading Star Makers worldwide... Generally speaking, the policy and the capacity of every music & media institution in the world vary! But after all, the institution is like a person, they handle all the responsibilities & consequences of their decisions and business policies... If the decisions taken are right, they will collect good results, if the decisions & policies are wrong, I don't think that they are stronger than the Old Empires on Earth who took wrong decisions that assisted in making them weak, then weaker, before they vanished!... Finally, we are always open for serious approaches with everyone, without any exception! Our policy is to gather and not to divide! But it is normal to give the priority of effective support to all those who effectively support us! We are loyal people who give according to what they get! Last but not least, I thank all who participated from every side in doing & releasing my new album, hoping for the best :)"...

A general useful press conference by artist Fadi Awad in this new release occasion, wishing this album a big success, stay tuned to all future related news & follow-ups!: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fadi-Awad/238539839502517  

DJ SeanKev releases new LP album 'HouseFunkysco'

The DJ from New York's Queens borough known as DJ SeanKev has released his latest LP album, “HouseFunkysco.” The record comprises 16 original tracks for an approximate total listening time of a full hour. It has been published on the AMAdea Music record label. Funky, groovy, and packed with the genuine nightclub sound of the early 1990s, “HouseFunkysco” is the latest example in DJ SeanKev's growing repertoire that he may be Queens' most talented emcee on wax.

DJ SeanKev is notable for his rock-solid skills at matching beats, sculpting a playlist, and creating colorful, inventive new material from mere fragments of audio. But what marks SeanKev as truly outstanding is his devotion to the authentic methods and traditions of disc-jockeying: he does it all with vinyl records from the period. His disco comes from the '70s. His old-school beats come from the '80s. Now, with this latest installment, SeanKev proves that he can do it with the sounds of the early 1990s.

“I'm releasing my second dance album which contains some real, vintage, funky, '90s-style house music,” writes SeanKev.

SeanKev's other LP releases, “1982 Disco, Funk and Soul” and “Soul Trap Music,” have been garnering him a loyal and populous following since their releases in 2013. These newcomers are only happy additions to a fan base he's been inspiring since his first performances in the clubs of the 1990s.

Speaking of “HouseFunkysco,” he writes: “My album shares a real divine message in dancing and feeling free to the music. It gives off a certain vibe to the body and soul. Takes a person back to the good old days in New York City, when the clubs of my era (the '90s) were the place to be.”

Make no mistake, SeanKev brings the funk and soul of the '80s alive just as well, but he's truly at home spinning music from 1990-1999, as the results show.

“I had a real good time producing this sound for the world to enjoy,” writes SeanKev.

SeanKev cites as main artistic influences Tee Scott, Larry Joseph, Boyd Jarvis, Larry Levan and “all the vintage club heads.” Sporting a well-deserved degree of fame in the old-school DJ subculture, SeanKev has mixed with some true, modern titans, Natasha Diggs among them.

“HouseFunkysco” by DJ SeanKev is available online worldwide.

Pete McCabe releases new LP 'Homeward'

The singer and songwriter known as Pete McCabe has released his latest LP record, “Homeward.” The full-length album comprises 14 original tracks for an approximate total listening time of nearly an hour. It has been published on the LazyCats Records music label. Usually filed in the folk and contemporary folk music sections of digital and vinyl record stores, “Homeward” is a monument to McCabe's sonic and lyric ingenuity, and solidifies his place in the chronicles of American songwriting as a whole.

Pete McCabe first took this place with the release of his 1973 record, “The Man Who Ate the Plant,” produced by the legendary Bill Szymczyk who later produced the Eagles and other titans. The LP has become known among audiophiles everywhere for its unabashed blend of pop and folk music sharpened with tinges of psychedelic rock.

“The orchestral arrangements from that record are echoed in my current music,” McCabe writes.

And indeed they are. Fans of folk music will find all their time-honored traditions intact on “Homeward,” but scaled up to include sweeping instrumental rises and soaring, multi-tiered harmonies. Inspirations from a great many musical subcultures are present, giving the album a swirling myriad of colors which easily arrest and mystify the listener. The source of this variety is McCabe's own mixing bowl of influences.

“My folk background included influences from singer-songwriters Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and James Taylor,” he writes. “Along the way there was a bit of Dixieland and jazz. My greatest influence was the Beatles. More recent influences include Randy Newman and Stephen Sondheim.”

Fans of lyric precision and creativity are likely to be especially pleased.

“Many of my lyrics are informed by my lifelong obsession with movies. My overriding desire is to offer words and music that are truly original.”

Asked to describe the general themes and messages of his new album, McCabe describes it thus:

“Each song is a world to explore. Each has its own style and personality, yet as a whole the collection is unified by a strong point of view. A sense of humor as well as a sensitive look at human relationships and a fondness for fantasy and dreams inform the lyrics. I want the listener to look at the world in a new way. There are meanings and emotions to be found in ourselves that different genres of music and unusual lyrics can awaken. Good old songwriting craft can still transport us beyond what so much of the marketplace offers these days.”

“Homeward” by Pete McCabe is available online worldwide. Get in early. Get in as soon as possible.

'The Politician' Rico Sanchez releases new single 'Let's Do That Sh-t'

DJ Rico Sanchez, usually billed as “the Politician,” has released his most recent electronic dance-floor anthem, “Let's Do That Sh*t.” The track has been published entirely without help from the corporate music industry on the Last Nights DJ independent music label. It is occasionally listed online as “Let's Do This Sh*t.” Heavy hitting, highly danceable, and extremely infectious, “Let's Do That Sh*t” by DJ Rico Sanchez the Politician is a surefire entry in the EDM and house-music Best-of-2014 lists, and sure to unite party goers in nightclubs around the world.

It's a momentum building energy driven fueled anthem to make you take that next step in full. To keep it simple, it builds on that very moment of adrenaline and quick decision making into what can be your undoing or your very next achievement in life.”

DJ Rico “the Politician” Sanchez is a global performer. He has played shows and parties in New York, India, Australia, and Florida.
