Brunos Mixtape

Dubstep Coma, The Latest mixtape from Bruno Belluomini is already online, Available for download. Dubstep Coma is a 14 songs selection mixed and recorded live. The DJ and producer Bruno Belluomini just put for download his most recent mixtape. It contains, besides exponents from the Dubstep genre, proper productions cut in dubplate to test before the vinyl release. The chosen selection reflects the cream of Dubstep, the style that gains more force and new adepts each day. Cyrus comes from Croydon, prolific cradle of the style in the south London region. His last promo mix contains tracks that promise to shake the scene in the next months. Pinch, Tectonic label manager and the man behind Dubloaded and the Subloaded parties, comes from Bristol. His well succeeded initiative already released names as Moving Ninja and Omen. Also from Bristol comes Appleblim, the man behind the party and label Skull Disco. Mark One brings his famous crossover between Dubstep, Grime and Electro from Manchester. Kudos, on his turn, presents "BTown", the most expressive track from his recent The City EP. Loefah, Coki and Mala don't need comments: they are the "dons" of the scene and promote serious sysmic shocks in Brixton with their DMZ, one ofthe most significative and important night in the circuit. D1, one of the youngest and most talented producers, released by the seminal label Tempa, also marks presence.

VOTED BEST UK FEATURE 2005!!

Anna Kiss n Tell

Well hasn't she been busy? Oh yes she has…

Young Miss Anna Kiss has been recovering from a long bout of djing in Napa and has
decided to take the UK sound out of its homeland and teach the world a thing or two.

We caught up her by way of post card


Anna writes


Hi guys,

Well, you might have not heard from me for a while, so here's an update for you...

I've recently returned from playing at Mannheim's "Bass Nights" in
Germany which was great fun. It's always a pleasure to play there as
the people know how to party... and appreciate my darker side ;o)

I will shortly be starting a brand new weekly show on Cyprus' leading radiostation Dance FM. After doing pirate for so long its a pleasure to be on legal radio, but I do miss my Freeze listeners! There are guest appearances and other shows in the pipeline though, which I will let you know about in due course.

For now, my website has just had a complete redesign (
www.annakiss.co.uk), and been updated with some audio. Bouncin Basslines is a mix of mine, up exclusively on an Australian website (www.straightup.com.au). There's also a live mix from my summer in Ayia Napa (featuring MC Flirta D with some classic & new UKG flava's), a recording of one of my Freeze shows (for any of my listeners that miss the shows!), and for the anti-garage crew, theres also an old Funky House mix I dug out. More House mixes very soon.



There is also a clip of my first journey into production "4ward March".
This shows that darker side I was on about before! I'm working on lots of varied bits-n-pieces at the moment and this page will now be continuously updated, so keep checking in!

http://www.annakiss.co.uk/audio.htm

I was asked to do an interview for a great site; it’s now up on:
http://www.360-x.co.uk/a_page.php?pid=571. Check it out!

The Music Industry Raw
Pirates, Clubs, House and Garage


By Tony Portelli


In a fascinating account of one of the world’s most complex business environments and one man’s journey through it, The Music Industry Raw is part biography, part dissection and part educational guide that follows a young boy who was inspired by London, family life, football and music – a love that nearly ended in a long-term prison sentence.

Fortunately Tony, like many who went on to succeed because of his drive and direction, was given another chance. That chance turned into his “sliding doors effect,” and had a direct and positive effect on his life and those of others.

“What has been written within these pages, a first of its kind from a genre, is probably the most contentious behind-the-scenes book ever penned about the music industry,” Tony says.

Within the book, Tony dissects such acts as The Streets, Ms Dynamite, So Solid, MJ Cole, Luck and Neat and many more. He explores why the “sexy and stylish scene went into free fall,” and where the music industry is today.

He also predicts the future hits from nu skool and takes readers behind the scenes at the awards ceremonies. Will the dot com revolution destroy or enhance the music industry? Tony offers his thoughts as he peruses “the 10 greatest UK house and garage records.”

An insightful and candid exposé on a multibillion-dollar system that was usurped by many of the performers it failed to assist, The Music Industry Raw pulls no punches. This is the backstage pass every serious music fan should not be without.

Tony Portelli is creator of a leading London record label and manager for one of the pioneering acts over the past decade. He became part creator of a genre of music that took inspiration and street culture and turned it into careers for many who also had a dream.

TO WIN A SIGNED COPY OF THIS BOOK SEND IN YOUR TOP TEN UKG RECORDS TO FIPUNCUT@GMAIL.COM AND THE BEST ENTRY WITH THE CLOSEST SELCETION TO TONY'S WILL GET THE PRIZE...

THE DRAW CLOSES ON THE LAST DAY OF MARCH....GET YOUR NEW ERA THINKING CAPS ON.
