Cairns Winter Solstice Festival 2010

March 11th, 2010 by CraigOS

Cairns Winter Solstice Celebration & Sustainable Lifestyle Gathering

In the expanse of the Australian outdoor festival culture, Winter Solstice Lifestyle Gathering holds a special place in the hearts and minds of punters from not only Cairns, but from around the country and indeed the globe as well. The annual event, in its fourth year in 2009, was one of the region’s biggest and most creative festivals, attracting well over a hundred acts, performers, healers and artists over four days and three nights in the rugged beauty of the Atherton Tablelands.

The thing about Winter Solstice is that it’s much more than a Far North Queensland event, instead being one of Australia’s premier alternative life style festivals with a strong focus on entertainment for all the ages and a holistic festival experience. Thousands of punters have been known to travel from interstate and overseas just to attend, proving it’s not only one of the region’s top music and arts events, but a global tourism drawcard as well.
With a broad range of musical styles – from electronic music to live bands and solo acts – as well as roving performers, fire shows, healing areas, sustainability exhibitions and market stalls, Winter Solstice definitely deserves its spot as the winner of the Best Festival in the timeOUT Awards 2009.

New Music concept - Guvera

March 1st, 2010 by 'little rascal'

Guvera logo

Guvera has spent several years negotiating rights all around the world and designing this new system to make music free by having advertisers pay for our downloads.

As an added bonus we have removed the very concept of “Disruptive Advertising” and replaced it with “Engagement Advertising”.
What that means to you and me is we have removed the white noise of irrelevant crap being thrown at us - and now we only see brands that are actually speaking to us, as opposed to everyone seeing everything.

You’ll see when you experience Guvera - You select the brand that will pay for each piece of music you search for, then you visit their channel and discover a whole bunch of other music that may be interesting… then you channel hop, this is how you discover new music, all the while not being interrupted by ads you cant click past and now, you simply enjoy the music.

Best yet, those artists that create all these goodies we download will be paid in full for the inspiration they make for all of us.

And if thats not cool enough, film & TV isn’t too far behind.

Inside Clubbing: Sensual Experiments in the Art of Being Human

February 25th, 2010 by 'little rascal'

ISBN: 1859737137/ ISBN-13: 9781859737132
Inside Clubbing: Sensual Experiments in the Art of Being Human

(Trade paperback)

by Phil Jackson

5 out of 5 3 customer reviews

Berg Publishers, 04/2004, 256 pages, English

Inside Clubbing puts the spotlight on club culture - in all its sweaty, visceral and seductive glory. Moving from hip-hop clubs to fetish events and beyond, the author guides us through the huge spectrum of the contemporary club experience. Drawing on interviews with clubbers from a variety of backgrounds, the author dispels myths and offers new insight into the clubbing scene. Contrary to popular perception, for example, clubbing is not just for youths. The clubbers in Inside Clubbing range from mid-twenties to mid-fifties. Many have been on the scene for years and offer a historical perspective on changes over the last decade. The range of clubs and clubbers discussed also demonstrates the diversity of club culture its more than just an ecstasy-fuelled dance scene. Taking us into queer, trance, Asian, techno, drum n bass, and sex clubs - among others - Inside Clubbing explores the real practice of clubbing. It looks at what people experience and how it affects them, as well as their values and concerns - from friendship and community to drugs, the body, and life outside the clubbing space. This book breaks new ground in offering us the most balanced and sophisticated understanding of the club scene to date

Block Rockin’ Beats: Funky Rock, Hip-Hop, Jungle, Drum ‘n’ Bass Grooves

February 25th, 2010 by 'little rascal'

ISBN: 0786632283/ ISBN-13: 9780786632282
Block Rockin’ Beats: Funky Rock, Hip-Hop, Jungle, Drum ‘n’ Bass Grooves

(Other)

by Dawn Richardson

Mel Bay Publications, 05/2006, 79 pages, English

Block Rockin Beats has tons of cool grooves and fills for the intermediate to advanced drummer. This book reflects recent musical trends by focusing on funky rock, hip hop, jungle and drum n bass influenced patterns for the drum kit. As time marches on, popular music continues to evolve and change. Block Rockin Beats is designed to give the drummer more ideas and tools to help function in a musical environment that was not only influenced by jazz, blues, gospel, country, soul, latin and funk styles but also shaped by D.J.s, samplers and electronic music. Drummers are often called upon now to replace or ad to programmed drums in the recording studio. For live shows, live drumming might be melded together with electronic elements or D.J.s, or both Rock and popular music are incorporating so many different elements and styles at this point, its hard to keep track! Update your rhythmic vocabulary with some Block Rockin Beats

FREE Download - Hotdrop - Dis[Cover] Showcase

February 22nd, 2010 by 'little rascal'

More awesome dub from our friends in Spain - oh so good..If ya love dub, start downloading!

Hotdrop - Dis[Cover] Showcase

Hotdrop - Dis[Cover] Showcase,

Greetings! Good news in the reggae-dub planet with Hotdrop’s new release ‘Dis[cover] Showcase’ a delightful selection of powerful covers that aim straight to the heart of Jamaican rhythm lovers.

‘Dis[cover]’ will rock you with its authentic showcase format, each track has a first vocal part which later gives way to a totally atmospheric ‘Hotdroppic’ dub.

On this occasion, the Spanish band leaves its mark with a unique covers compilation, often played live by Hotdrop, which renders tribute to souls classics (William Devaughn, The Spinners) and legendary late 70s reggae singles (Matumbi, Dennis Brown, Inner Circle).

Entirely recorded in Madrid city and mixed analogically in a 8 track device, ‘Dis[cover]’ works as a time machine that brings us these vintage scented unique covers, never loosing Hotdrop’s refreshing sound.

The record travels from soul grounds with the mellow ‘Be Thankful’, passing the rhythmic soulful-reggae with ‘Bluebeat & Ska’ and the indomitable ‘I’ll be around’, to end up flowing into the wild Caribbean sound of ‘Should I’ and ‘Reggae Thing’, culminating this musical trip in ‘Straight to the Greencat’s head’, dubwise from the caverns.

Hotdrop - Dis[Cover] Showcase

Tracklist:
1.- Be thankful extended version
2.- Bluebeat & ska discomix
3.- I’ll be there
4.- I’ll be there pt.2
5.- Should i ft. Carlos Alonso
6.- Drum & bass version
7.- Reggae thing ft. Quique Vaz
8.- Straight to the greencat’s head

Mixed by Puppashan @ discoinferno.
Masterized by Nick Litwin at Mastering Mansion Madrid.
Produced by Hotdrop, Madrid 2010.
