Club Azuli is world renowned for delivering the best in upfront electronic edged house. They are slammin’ it at Space Ibiza every Friday night, to a sophisticated, international crowd of party people. However, the Club Azuli trash glamour music lovers that religiously attend the bi-monthly residency at The Cross in London could not be forgotten about, and so on Satu

here is a rough blurb I recently sent to someone asking the often-asked question I get in my mailbox -"djing - how do I get a start out there?" I'm not much of a writer but after writing this I though I should post it.As an article it's unfinished but as I said I'm not really a writer... and the hints might help someone out there.

It is said at this time of the year, after the festive season we can all feel a bit down suffering from the January blues. All us hard working people need a little pick me up, and a some excitement to put that smile back on our faces. They also say that good things come to those who wait, so I say wait no longer. The venue The Blag Club, the music funky, soulful, deep and electro house. Saturday 24th February 2007 we invite you fun loving party people to join the ‘Dazzle’ team with our special DJ line up for the night at the luxuriously stylish Blag Club, Canalot Studios, 222 Kensal Road, London, W10 5BN located in fashionable Ladbroke Grove.

Petras' powerful new book is titled 'The Power of Israel in the United States' VHeadline.com commentarist Stephen Lendman writes: James Petras is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Binghamton University, New York. He's a noted academic figure on the US Left and a well-respected Latin American expert and longtime chronicler of the region's popular struggles. He's also an advisor to the landless workers in Brazil and the unemployed workers movement in Argentina.Along the way, he managed to find time to write many hundreds of articles and 62 books published in 29 languages including his latest one in which he discusses another vital world region he has extensive knowledge of and has written frequently about -- the Middle East and specifically the state of Israel and its relations with its neighbors, the Palestinians and, most importantly and the subject of this book, the US.

http://www.jeffreydavidmorris.comWhy's thing's like mere sincere friendship with the opposite sex, be it, female, seem like harder to attain, and be without contamination with a secret agenda, like sex, selfish (?) (i.e.: friendship with benefit's), or, those of some men that get a great girl, but don't exhibit to know what they have, hurt the girl or cause themselves to lose her and/or what they may have had, be it, (thing's were great, misc., then the guy started screwing up). I mean, who doesn't already know that 'life is short', moment's (are suppose to be) worth cherishing, sigh . . . and even though God's Word says it's gonna get worse before it gets better, some people seem to go on clueless as to somehow self destroy; I mean, Arnold said in the movie, “T2”, (It's in your nature to destroy yourselves). Why do we as humanity prove that to be true? It just seems that humanity for as long as I've been on this rock, humanity seems to keep justifying 'judgment day', as every

The competition is fierce and your company is just one in a billion others trying to grab the attention of consumers and the business world. How can you get your company to the top of the pile and start gaining the clout and money you need to succeed? In Part I and II of this article, I will reveal some of the top five marketing and promotion tools that are used by some of the biggest names in any industry. I call it Bulldozer Marketing. First, let me start with the basics.

It's all about marketing and promotion. While there are never any guarantees that your product or service will become the next big thing, one thing is certain: Unless you know the rules of engagement to this game, no matter how unique and urgently needed your product or service is, most people will never hear about it.

As a musician, bands have it easier than a solo artist in terms of cost to make a CD. Other than that, there are little or no differences. For bands/artists who wish to start the process of making, distributing, and getting radio airplay by themselves, believe it or not, you are starting your own record label. Even if your goal is to land a major recording contract, you will still need to gather more attention for your music by cutting, distributing and promoting your own music. Youll have a much better chance at getting a great record deal with a major label if you are successful on your own first.

Let me preface this by saying that I have the utmost respect and admiration for songwriters who can write song after song. Those very talented individuals who, while they are sitting on the plane, in the bathroom, or at a dining table, grab a napkin, the roll of toilet paper, the safety guide on the airplane, or whatever may be handy and start frantically writing. While I have had this inspiration once in a while, its not a fluent talent. So my hats are off to you! The statistics were very interesting and I hope not conclusive of what is going on in the music industry right now, although I suspect they are indicative of it.

You will soon have some new methods for adding your events to listings sites like spraci.com thanks to the use of

microformats /

I've had a look at the wordpress plugin.

I think I could set it up so that when an event is posted to a blog via this plugin it is recognised as an event and posted to the event listings under the correct date, categories, city, etc.

In simple terms:

The use of microformats like hcalendar could provide lots of interesting ways for people to syndicate data such as event details, locations, contact details, etc to to other sites using standard blogging software while still keeping the data in seperate machine-useable fields.

This band is the exact opposite of their name. The typical 98 lb Weakling that gets sand kicked in his face courtesy of Mr. Atlas, illustrated in their cartoon on the band's site, goes home and puts on a 98 lb Weakling record (an album not a CD). He returns to the beach all dressed up looking cool then takes his guitar and smashes it over the bullies head, end of story, he gets all the babes, happy ending.

Has anyone else been hearing a beautiful new song called "Flicker" by the group Saucy Monky? I just heard it over here in Ireland on Today FM (Ireland's national radio) this morning and it's BEAUTIFUL! It's a love(lost) ballad, and Cynthia Catania (the lead singer on it) is kinda like Chrissie Hynde, I guess you'd say. Her voice is really soothing and sexy, I find, but it's also mature and you can feel the emotion behind it. It's my fave track off their album, which I JUST HAD TO go and buy after hearing it on the radio so much. And I'm a freakin' poor college kid - so go figure. Wow, I actually SUPPORTED an artist instead of stealing the track from online...so F**K you, RIAA!! :-) Plus, the disc was dirt-cheap. it's an 9-track mini-album EP that is selling for something ridiculous at HMV and Tower for like 9.99 EURO (that's what I got mine for anyway) and I see it's available on their site for the same price but in US dollars!

NazB, International Rap Star, Hits Out Against Gun and Knife Crime.

NazB calls for all rap artists to get together to speak out against knives and guns

The internationally renowned Rapper, NazB is coming to the UK this July to campaign for an end to knife and gun crime on the street. He believes that rappers have a unique role to play in stopping youngsters carrying knives and guns. He is appealing to fellow rap stars to support the cause.

NazB is spreading the message through his gigs at the clubs in London and through the TalentGold website.

NazB says ”Rappers have had a bad press like they are supposed to think it’s cool to carry weapons. Not true. We love the kids and don’t want to see them getting into real trouble. We think that the kids will listen to what we say because they respect us. So I say to all you kids out there – don’t carry knives or guns. If you get into trouble you will hurt other

Good music, regardless of genre, sometimes seems to get overlooked or underappreciated; whether it is because of restrictions (limited radio/TV exposure), fickle listeners or a number of other reasons. However, when an album as vibrant and invigorating as The Formula comes out, it is hard to avoid, or at least difficult to understand why others aren’t paying attention.For more of this review please check out: http://www.planeturban.com.au/album_reviews/album_9th_wonder_buckshot_formula

Nashville songplugger Raleigh Squires, a 30-plus-year veteran of the music business, has announced the opening of a new Internet record label/music download store at www.VirtualMusicMarket.com.

According to Squires the store will serve as a platform from which independent artists and musicians can market their music in a different way than most of the other online stores. The label/store debuts with six independent artist products and also serves as a portal to Amazon.com's mainstream music downloads in addition to movies, videos, books, and e-books. Squires' daughter Sarah, a 10-year Nashville advertising and marketing executive, is also a partner in the venture.

The store/label will pick and choose the best independents they can acquire either through purchase of the master or on a consignment basis, and will release, service, and promote each act to radio through Squires' digital radio promotion company, 1617 Virtual. The company will also market the store and the music to consumers via the Internet

The Daily Vault Album Reviews: Random Thoughts (From A Paralyzed Mind)

by Jason Warburg, The Daily Vault

Here we go again. Halfway through the slush pile, tossing 'em aside like pancakes at a Little League fundraiser, and allofasudden whoooaaa Nellie. Hang on, we got us a keeper.

Peter Bloom is a singer-songwriter who learned all the right lessons from John, George, Ringo and especially Paul - not to mention Elton John and John (Five For Fighting) Ondrasik. This is simply gorgeous piano/orchestral-based pop, carried to the next level by Bloom's insightful lyrics and full-bodied melodic sensibilities.

"Let It Go" is a knockout opener, a mid-tempo plea for resolution whose jangly guitar, thrumming organ and keening string accents help Bloom build to a soaring, affecting climax that sums up everything a good ballad should be.

The orchestral flourishes that open and color the fringes of "Walls" could have been lifted from Revolver, but weren't; these are original confections using familiar music

The Orb have been amongst the most fearlessly and fascinating sonic marauders on this or any other planet and Vuja De is the first single from Their new album entitled 'The Dream'. The album was made by head honcho Alex Paterson, ex-Killing Joke bassist Youth, former Dreadzone member Tim Brian and a host of guests. Although the line up may have changed over the years, the knack of hitting the spot certainly hasn't. Paterson describes the album as harking '...back to the original spirit' of their first two albums. And the new single, Vuja De, IS reminiscent of The Orb's breakthrough single Little Fluffy Clouds.

The Orb take us on a happy journey through time and space where dub and early-nineties dance are mashed up and overlaid with jaunty samples, and guest vocals from Aki Omari. The original is a good track in it's own right but it really comes into it's own as a package when you give the respective remixes a listen.

The Orb make their return in late April 2008 with the long awaited new album

The Orb virtually invented the electronic genre known as ambient house, resurrecting slower, more soulful rhythms and providing a soundtrack for early-morning ravers once the clubs closed their doors. Now they invite you to join them to sit back, relax, and drift into 'The Dream'. It's been a busy year for the orb, recording the album, playing Bestival, and seeing the seminal number 1 album, UFOrb getting a re-release. 'The Dream' sees Alex Paterson and Youth at their blessed, and melodious best. Their history speaks volumes, and the future is certainly bright!

Remember the days when you couldn't get the ever-so-catchy chorus of "Tricka Technology" out of your head? Bring back some fond memories? Well get ready for those days to return as A-SKILLZ aka Adam Mills, that turntable trickster from the UK that we all have a soft spot for, comes back to Oz for his first ever headline tour this Winter! Renowned worldwide for his party/trick sets, A-SKILLZ can truly attest to having all his musical boxes ticked. Signed to the inimitable Finger Lickin' ranks at the tender age of 21, A-Skillz teamed up with one of the biggest names in the game, Krafty Kuts, in 03' to record the now must-have record for all breakbeat lovers, "Tricka Technology." By calling on the likes of Kurtis Blow, TC Izlam, Obi Real Elements and Ashley "Freakpower" Slater, A-Skillz wowed us with his fresh, funky, hip-hop-based take on breakbeat that spawned the massive sing-a-long classics "Gimme the Breaks," "Peaches," "Roll Over Baby," and "Simple Things."

The What 4 Debut CD: Say it Straight 'The What 4', Adelaide's new, experimental rock band have just released their debut, full-length CD, 'Say it Straight'. The band members, from diverse backgrounds, combine their experience and talent to produce a unique, melodic and innovative groove. Previous/current projects include: Martire, Free Moving Curtis, Beltane and Lankey. While focusing on dynamics and a simple formula, the band is driven by a fluid rhythm section, atmospheric synthesizers, emotive guitars, satin vocals and sound effects. After generating interest through live performance over the last few months, the band were surprised when local alternative radio station '3D' responded with plenty of airplay, sending 'The What 4' to No.1 on their weekly chart twice this year.

Hot on the heels of a hugely successful East Coast tour, The Nomad is back with a blistering new single 'Let's Play'. Taken from the 'Selected Works' album which hit the shelves at the end of 2007, 'Let's Play' further demonstrates The Nomad's immense talent and aptitude for creating and producing music that is seemingly genre limitless.

With Inpress Magazine describing his latest album as "an absolute joy to listen to", The Nomad's 'Let's Play' continues in a similar vein with a brilliant melody, dynamic baseline and insatiably catchy pop beat. The single also sees The Nomad team up with fellow New Zealanders MC Ras Stone and MC Free. With The Nomad on the scratch, the collaboration provides the song with a hip

Hailing from the quite streets of Orangeburg, SC, DJ Speedy, also know as

Harvey, is a rising star in the music industry. Having produced some of

today’s hottest music such as Steppin Out by recording artist Big Gipp ft

Sleepy Brown of Outkast (2003), this small town country boy is definitely on

top of his game.

DJ Speedy began producing tracks as a side hustle while mixing on South

Carolinas Hottest radio station Big DM 101.3 FM. Working side by side with DJ

Prince Ice, on the Ice Cold Radio Show, DJ Speedy wasted no time

networking and branding himself as an “A” list producer. After mastering his

craft and attracting the attention of T-Mo and Big Gipp of Goodie Mob, DJ

Speedy was on his way to making history.

"Australia's favorite DJ, DJ Nino Brown" is back with Blazin' 2008, a collection of the "biggest Hip Hop" tracks out, and I use the term 'Hip Hop' very loosely. I couldn't help but explode with laughter at the Winner Intro. It is very reminiscent of the episode of Family Guy where Brian becomes a radio host and Stewie joins him, and they play a load of generic sounding radio ads with all the accompanying sound effects. It gets off to a good start with The Way I Are, even though we all have heard it a minimum of 8 million times in the past year. Surprisingly, it doesn't wait until the end of the CD to bring an actually listenable track by (really surprising to me) Young Jeezy, which is I Luv It.

A Book Review on Filipino Author by Danny Sillada

BOOK TITLE: Unleash Your Inner Survivor (Your Guide to Life)

AUTHOR: Genevieve "Viva" Andrada

NUMBER OF PAGES: 260 pages

PUBLISHER: Atlas Publishing Co., Inc., Philippines

PRICE: PHP 275.00

On page 233 of the book "Survival", under a section "What other nations say about Philippines", a Hong Kong expat named Frank Cancelloni related his first impression of Filipinos as "domestic helpers or singers abroad". He even had a part-time "Filipina maid" who came to his apartment few times a week.

One day, he went home early and he was surprised to see his "Filipina maid" sitting on his desk flipping through his books from school.

"What are you doing with those books?" asked Frank in a cynical manner.

"I used to be a professor in mathematics and physics at the University of the Philippines before I came to Hong Kong", said the "Filipina maid" in a nonchalant manner.

"But why a "domestic helper" in Hong Kong?" asked Fra

Hobbyhorse Starts Burning Up The Airwaves

San Francisco Bay area, folk/rock duo Hobbyhorse's album "Break In the Clouds" has been burning up the broadcast airwaves, with stations in Canada, Australia and across the US playing their unique mix of psychedelic folk/rock. The album was also recently picked as Release of the Month September 2007 by Seldom Heard Radio.

"This wonderful album opens with the swirling sustain of an organ, lilting percussion (bodhran?) quiet, precise guitar and earthy vocals & builds from there. Traditional in one sense, quietly experimental in others, Hobbyhorse's Break in the Clouds embodies the magic that is woven in the art of folk music - and by folk music I mean music that is authentic, spirited & manifest from the love of creation rather than 'music industry' profit motive. Each song is a delight of discovery." Seldom Heard Radio

Some of the broadcast radio stations that have recently added Hobbyhorse to their playlists include:

* CKCU FM 93.1 in Ottawa Canada, Iron M
