Monthly Media Spotlight -- TO's heavyweights--Breadfan!
Toronto indie band "bringing back the Rock"
written by administrator
In a day where music is more a commodity than art being pumped out like squeeze-cheese by corporate stiffs pushing the next big thing, it's refreshing to see that there are some out there who refuse to give in to the industry lie and take a chance on what they believe is the real thing. Breadfan is bringing back the heavy in Heavy Metal--they're turning it up to eleven, roughing-up the distortion and letting the music do the talking. Breadfan's heavy mix of Hard Rock with a dash of Punk will perform a felony assault on your ears, leaving you begging for more. But listening is one thing. These guys must no only be heard, they must be seen as well.
Monthly Media Spotlight -- L.Chanes is Born To Perform!
Brooklyn's L.Chanes takes HipHop back to the old school story telling days
written by administrator
From the urban landscape of New York's Brooklyn borough comes a young man simply known as L.Chanes. Born and raised while HipHop was still in its infancy, Chanes became captivated by the definitive sounds which helped shape an entire generation. Bearing witness to the sorrows which can only be found in the mean streets of large urban centers like New York, Chanes took solace in the beats, the rhyme and the words. No stranger to personal tragedy, L.Chanes paints a vivid portrait of everyday struggles with his words which act as a source of inspiration to his fans and his peers alike.

When dreams turn to reality--Fred Maciel & Hervah open show to 122,000 in Rio
written by administrator
In the early seventies the difinitive album for any red-blooded music lover to have in ones collection was a two disc dynamo simply entitled Kiss Alive. This one album single handedly defined a generation and fueled the passions for many aspiring musicians. For most, the dreams inspired by this album would begin and end in the family garage or school community center, but for others like Fred Maciel, that dream would become reality opening for Kiss and Van Halen in Rio de Janeiro to a crowd of 122,000.
Quick Hit!
JuizoFinal.mp3 -- Performed by Hervah featuring Fred Maciel.
Bandleader, Musician, Impresario -- Ruslan Moiseev
Composer/drummer Ruslan Moiseev an omni-present figure in Russian Jazz
written by administrator
Music has been referred to as the universal language. It has definite effects on the human mind, body and spirit. Students who study music have higher grade point averages, improved listening skills and develop faster than those who don't. The top engineers from Silicon Valley are all musicians and Japan, Hungary, and the Netherlands all make music education a priority. For Russian born drummer/bandleader Ruslan Moiseev, music is a primary key to life itself. A self-styled seeker and sharer of professional knowledge, Ruslan strives to go beyond the limitations of stylistic niches by experimenting with alternate forms of music, making his particular brand of Jazz more diverse and unpredictable. He refers to this concept as "Omni-Jazz", a concept he used when creating his latest project, Omnium.
Quick Hit!
Dirty Beauty.mp3 -- Performed by Omnium feat. Ruslan Moiseev.

Assaf Rinde part of a new breed of Hollywood film composer
written by administrator
A new generation of film composer is taking Hollywood by storm. These technically savvy young men and women display a brilliance not heard since the industries glory days. Assaf Rinde is just one example of the genius arising on the Hollywood scene today. Blessed with a deep understanding of the human soul and a knack for storytelling, Assaf combines the "nu-school" adeptness of technology with the "old-school" prowess of the legendary musical masters. These traits, together with his long-term study of the nature of narrative, provide Assaf the edge required to be at the top of his profession.
PROLOGUE: In March of 2007, EMI, facing serious strategic challenges, became the first Major label to issue DRM-free (no copy-protection) downloads on iTunes. To facilitate this, Apple's CEO broke his promise to maintain uniform pricing of 99 cents: DRM-free will cost about 30% more than other sales. Response from the other three competing Major labels was shock and disappointment. Will they be forced to also do DRM-free to compete?
Two weeks later, the U.S. Copyright Office decided that Major labels will be allowed to charge higher rates to webcasters for streaming music. Response from Tech Companies was shock and disappointment. Will they have to pay labels more to provide the public with a radio service they don't even charge for?
