ULTRA RECORDS RELEASES ROBBIE RIVERA’s CLOSER TO THE SUN STUDIO ALBUM, NOVEMBER 3 (NORTH AMERICA)
Internationally acclaimed, crowd-pleasing DJ/producer. ROBBIE RIVERA, releases his hotly anticipated full-length studio album, CLOSER TO THE SUN (Ultra Records) in North America on November 3, 2009. A master at crafting sultry sensations and rhythmic alchemy as the force behind the wildly popular JUICY parties, RIVERA’s dancefloor sensibilities never leave him, even when in the studio. CLOSER TO THE SUN features collaborations with FAST EDDIE, LAURA VANE, and MONICA BRAGATO (aka MOONY, DB BOULEVARD), among others, and the album exhibits RIVERA’s skills as a songwriter with the title track, “Closer To The Sun.”
“Closer To The Sun,” the album’s first single, and is a sundrenched, radio-friendly vocal tune with broad audience appeal. “Let Me Sip My Drink” featuring FAST EDDIE is a catchy, hip-house track that’s simply irresistible. Other dancefloor annihilators include, “Rock The Disco” with the signature RIVERA electro sound, the anthemic “We Live For The Music,” and the aptly titled banger, “6AM.” What surprises on CLOSER TO THE SUN is the presence of hooky tunes written with proper song construction, including, “Keep On Going,” the R&B infused “Your Door,” and the sentimental “You’ll Never Know.”
With another season as resident DJ of JUICY at Ibiza’s Privilege wrapped, RIVERA launches his CLOSER TO THE SUN North American Tour on October 30th in New York and hits all major markets – including a 10,000-person event at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in his hometown of San Juan, Puerto Rico – before culminating in a debauched New Year’s Eve event in Ft. Lauderdale. The music video for “Closer To The Sun” – directed by Belgian director Nicolas Vantomme, and written and art directed by RIVERA’s wife and business partner, MONICA OLABARRIETA – encapsulates the care-free innocence of young love. RIVERA’s CLOSER TO THE SUN is an artist album whose time is ripe for picking.

KEZIAH JONES, ORIGINATOR OF BLUFUNK, ANNOUNCES TOUR DATES IN THE US AND CANADA! FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM, NIGERIAN WOOD, OUT JANUARY 2010 ON MERCER STREET RECORDS
Keziah Jones is a Nigerian born world traveler, a guitarist with flavors of African avant-gardism and a natural New York attitude. He plans to inspire US and Canadian crowds alike with his sultry numbers and sexy guitar licks. Keziah Jones’ sound is reminiscent of Santana covered in honey and supported with laid back hip-hop beats. It wouldn’t be unlikely that you’d hear the swoons and panting of women in the crowd next to you while Keziah effortlessly moves along his fret board with skill.
His long awaited fifth album, Nigerian Wood (to be released in the US January 2010 on Mercer Street Records), emphasizes his devotion to African soul roots and to the message of love. The album takes on new rhythmic vibes that are underscored by his acrobatic vocals and unique blufunk guitar style.
Keziah will be supporting the electric sounds of Lenny Kravitz on October 18th and Julian and Steven Marley on October 19th. Keziah will headline all other dates with local support.

MIXHELL ANNOUNCE LIVE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR HEAVY TECHNO WITH HEAVY METAL DRUMMING MUST BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED
Mixhell is the husband and wife dance music duo of Iggor and Laima Cavalera. Iggor was the drummer of Sepultura – one the heaviest metal bands of all time that sold millions of albums and terrified your parents. Mixhell will be bringing their incredibly intense and unique set to clubs this fall, starting October 29 in Calgary and wrapping November 8 in Austin. Since forming in 2006 Mixhell have linked up with heavy hitters like Soulwax, Justice, MSTRKRFT, Diplo, James Murphy and Busy P and have sold out out clubs in South America and Europe. If the thought of seeing Iggor pound away on a drumset in the middle of the dancefloor while Laima drops beats from the DJ booth doesn’t seem electrifying you might want to check your pulse – because you’re probably dead. Tour dates and more info below.
Iggor Cavalera is recognized throughout the world as a master drummer. However, he is as much familiar with turntables and MPCs and he is with a drum kit. As Mixhell, he and his wife, Laima combine dancefloor and hard rock sensibilities for DJ sets as unpredictable as Cavalera’s musical career. XLR8R

TECH N9NE RELEASES K.O.D. OCTOBER 27, 2009 FEAT. THREE 6 MAFIA, KRIZZ KALIKO, BROTHA LYNCH HUNG, KUTT CALHOUN & MORE
TECH N9NE prepared his fans for his current masterpiece, K.O.D. when he dropped Sickology 101, the hottest collaboration album of the year. “I’m a machine,” he assured. “And I’m getting better and better.” On Oct. 27, TECH N9NE delivers the proof.
With memorable features from Academy Award winners Three 6 Mafia, Strange affiliates Krizz Kaliko, Brotha Lynch Hung and Kutt Calhoun, K.O.D. allows TECH N9NE to paint the most vivid pictures he’s ever attempted. Powered by tracks like “Show Me A God” and “Leave Me Alone,” it may be his most personal collection of songs yet.
Much of this introspection can be pinpointed to his mother’s health problems. Despite his busy touring schedule, appearances on TV and support from an ever-growing fan base, it’s these intimate battles that pushed his music to new corners and helped him release his pain on the tracks of K.O.D.
“I’ve seen so much pain recently,” TECH N9NE divulges, “so many dark things. I had to take those experiences and make something beautiful out of them. I couldn’t let myself fall into that hole with no chance of getting out.”
“I know people are feeling some of the same things I am,” continues TECH N9NE, “and maybe this will let them see that everyone has those dark things they go through. Everyone can face them and be stronger in the end.”
Boasting a career most rappers strive for, TECH N9NE has consistently proved himself to be one of the hardest working entertainers in the game. In 2008, he reaped the rewards of his tireless efforts: He SoundScanned over 1 million units, making him the most successful independent Hip-Hop artist in history.
With hits like “I’m A Playa,” “Caribou Lou” (which boasts 7.2 million MySpace plays), “Riotmaker,” “Like Yeah” and “Everybody Move,” it’s no wonder he counts a total of over 4.5 million YouTube video plays and an average of 40,000 MySpace visitors each day.

Video/MP3: Jern Eye – “Beautiful” + “Something’s Wrong” / Album Drops Today Jern Eye Celebrates Album Release With Dual Video, DJBooth Freestyle Feature
The Video & MP3:
With his new album Vision dropping today, Jern Eye has been staying busy – releasing mixtapes, blogging for HipHopDX.com, and now, working on his latest video. With the first official video release from Vision, Jern also gives fans a special treat, as the Bay Area emcee uses two different songs off the album, a purposeful decision on Jern’s part: “We purposely chose to splice the two songs of which both are produced by !llmind, to show the duality of one’s life having both love and beauty along with both hardship and struggle. I think it’s dynamic and very reflective of my real life.”
The video starts off with the track ”Beautiful,” where Jern touches on the positive side of things, wifey included. Lines like “Attitude got me on another altitude / Out of this world, how she workin’ my latitude” show that lyricism doesn’t have to be sacrificed when coming through with an uplifting, love-inspired song. Speaking on the inspiration for the “Beautiful” portion of the video Jern says, “The ‘Beautiful’ video was inspired by trying to capture something that would reflect a day in the life of two people in love. When I stepped to the director Lorenzo Escalante about the idea, he absolutely loved the idea of filming a story based video.”
The second part of the video chimes in about halfway and dramatically changes the tone for the rest of the video, as it takes the listener to the darker side of things. Jern Eye chose to use the song “Something’s Wrong” for this specific reason. !llmind provides hard hitting drums with a grimy guitar sample topped and a eerie vocal sample to complete the track. Jern Eye holds nothing back in his verbal attack with lines like, “By the look in your face, I can tell you’re in the wrong place / By your eyes shifting I can see you a knucklehead who don’t listen,” and “I walk with a chip, I could give a sh*t about fame.” The second half of the video was filmed by Charles Barcelona and was shot at the train yards in Oakland.
On another note, Jern Eye recently met up with DJBooth.net and kicked a freestyle, #96 in DJBooth.net’s Freestyle Feature series. Be on the lookout for Jern Eye’s new album Vision which will be available everywhere today via MYX Music Label.

The Background:
Los Angeles native Jern Eye began crafting his skills early on at freestyle battles in famous L.A. clubs. Jern formed the staple west coast group, Lunar Heights, with friend and fellow emcee Spear Of The Nation shortly after high school, and the group eventually migrated north to Oakland to join the Bay Area’s flourishing independent hip-hop scene. Once in the Bay, the group was joined by Khai Sharrieff as they began making a name for themselves opening for a number of well known groups, including Crown City Rockers, The Pharcyde, The Procussions, and more. The group subsequently released their solo effort, Crescent Moon, to high acclaim. Jern followed three years later with his solo debut, Authentic Vintage, in 2006, and toured with Hieroglyphics and Living Legends as a result of the album’s success. Jern Eye’s sophomore album, Vision, features production from !llmind, Jake One, Keelay & Zaire, DJ Vinroc, Def Supreme, Phil Jahns, and Artek, and collaborations with artists Cali Agents, Mistah F.A.B., Zion I, Guilty Simpson, Nightclubber Lang, and more looks to make the case for Jern’s upward movement as a legitimate hip-hop talent on a national level. Vision is available now via MYX Music Label.
Woodhands announces new album, tour with Junior Boys
Toronto – Woodhands is set to embark on a 17-date tour of Canada and the United States with Junior Boys before returning to the studio to complete the follow-up to 2008’s critically acclaimed debut Heart Attack. The band’s second album, Remorsecapade, is set to be released on Paper Bag Records on January 26th 2010. The band has also recently contributed a remix to label-mate and bloggeshire champion CFCF’s latest EP, The Explorers (feat. Sally Shapiro), released this week on Paper Bag Digital.
Also, check out the band’s City Sonic video posted below where Dan Werb and Paul Banwatt revisit the Don Valley Brickworks site to recount their memories of the “illegal party” that went down with Holy Fuck in 2006. City Sonic is a cross-platform documentary series of short films about extraordinary artists shot in places where their musical lives were transformed. The Woodhands segment premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival’s “TIFF in Concert” program last month.
Since dropping their debut in April 2008, Woodhands has been touring constantly with dates North America, Japan, China, and Europe. Along with their hectic touring schedule, Dan and Paul have also been cranking out remixes and cover tracks (including a version of ‘Electric Avenue’ blessed by Eddy Grant himself) and have been attracting high-level praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, NME and Q Magazine which named Woodhands as one of ‘The Ten Best New Bands On Earth’ in their post-SXSW issue this year.
While Heart Attack appeared on a slew of “Best of 2008” year end lists including “Best Electro Album” from iTunes Canada, their live show has to be seen to be believed: no pre-programmed samples, no laptops, no safety net: just two hyperkinetic, high-energy performers bringing the party as hard as possible, a little different each time.

Swollen Members Overcome Drug Addiction, Legal Problems, and Labels Collapsing To Record New Album “Armed To The Teeth” Featuring Tech N9ne, Everlast and Slaine from La Coka Nostra, Glasses Malone and Talib Kweli
Swollen Members have debuted the new track “Kyla” online at www.MySpace.com/SwollenMembers. The track appears on the group’s sixth studio album, “Armed To The Teeth”, which lands in stores October 27th, 2009 through Suburban Noize records and Battle Axe Records.
“‘Kyla’ is one of my favorite cuts on ‘Armed To The Teeth’ and I know the Swollen fans will feel it as well,” commented Prevail from Swollen Members. “The track is named after a very good friend of ours who plays an electric violin on the song. Her style and approach to violin is well studied but at the same time purely instinctual, which gives her a unique sound. Having her play on the track added symphonic power to the track and our music.”
Swollen Members may have enjoyed a successful career as one of the premier groups in underground hip-hop, but when it came time to record their sixth studio album, they were forced to confront the skeletons that had been hiding in their closet. During the time the group’s new album “Armed To The Teeth” was taking shape, Madchild was struggling with drug addiction, he was embroiled in legal battles, and his association with outlaw motorcycle clubs provoked the police to swarm his house in full riot gear. Also at this time, Swollen Members’ record label had collapsed leaving them home. With a desire to consistently raise the bar within the hip-hop genre, Madchild and Prevail were inspired to beat back personal demons and concentrate on creating the most powerful musical statement of their career.
Revitalized, focused and stronger than ever, Swollen Members are armed and ready for war. Swollen Members heavily anticipated new studio album, “Armed To The Teeth”, features guest appearances Tech N9ne, Everlast and Slaine from La Coka Nostra, Glasses Malone and Talib Kweli.

BURNS Ignites The US He’s already dominated dance-floors in Canada, now its time for BURNS to kick off the US leg of his tour with Deadmau5

Now a regular fixture on the Hype Machine chart, BURNS has been called up for remix duties by Kasabian, Empire of the Sun, Late of The Pier, Passion Pit, Filthy Dukes, Yuksek, Melanie Fiona, Gossip and Calvin Harris (who even named a song after Burns on his forthcoming #1 UK album).
When asked in a recent interview for Paper Magazine who is “Burns Night?”, Calvin Harris replied “Burns is a DJ. He’s touring the US with Deadmau5. Burns is better than both of us put together. The song is basically just a dedication to him, the chaos that he brings. If you ever meet him, you’ll know what I mean”

Download an exclusive new BURNS remix of FrankMusik’s ‘3 Little Words’ over at RCRD LBL
“A UK electro-house talent whose been building up a ton of heat in the past few months with sweaty, anthemic originals and even bigger-arena remixes” -The Culture of Me
.
“Boasting a sound that forges elements of Boys Noize or Mylo’s hard electro with the Scandinavian/Balearic space-disco of Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas …Expect big things from BURNS in the near future!” -Limewire
.
“An electronic remix factory with a very high quality control” -MixMag
“The best Scottish electro terror since Mylo” -NME
.
BURNS 3 (Teknique EP) is the third instalment in his 4 EP series. The previous release featured ‘Turbo’ and ‘Heartbeats’, (plus a Jokers Of The Scene remix of ‘Turbo’).
Born on Halloween 1985, he’s the son of a painter mother and a professional heavyweight boxer father. Burns enjoyed a childhood spent combining amateur boxing with learning to play the piano and guitar, discovering the delights of sampling software in his spare time.
.
While BURNS has gained notoriety for the kind of sonic bursts associated with European stalwarts such as Justice and Boyz Noise (but stamped with the kind of rave (un)sensibility that could only come from a British upbringing), there’s far more in his kitbag than all out aural assaults, hence his support from a wide range of DJs including Erol Alkan, A-Trak, DJ Mehdi, Dubfire, Don Diablo, and beyond. His ear for melody shows he can match the likes of Falke and Lindstrom note for blissful note.
.
The ‘Teknique EP’ once again points to BURNS’ ability to pursue his own musical agenda through a variety of styles. ‘Teknique’ is an epic dancefloor banger, with a seismic piano riff; ‘First Move’ is a quirky, off kilter stride through filtered loops and effects, while ‘In My Eyes’ is the latest missive from his disco arsenal, drawing comparisons with A-Trak and Armand’s Duck Sauce Project. Remixes come courtesy of Fred Falke and His Majesty Andre.
