Alan Wilder / Recoil Announce "A Strange Hour" North & South American Tour Dates

(Los Angeles, CA) Alan Wilder - formerly of Depeche Mode - has announced details of his new Recoil tour. Available now, the Recoil iPhone app allows fans to track Alan's activities. Follower's can post their thoughts and musings while Alan is on the road and in the studio. While the app provides a hub for Recoil's social networking, it also offers access to photos, videos, audio as well as insight to Wilder's personal thoughts behind each of his albums.

The app is free and available now from the iTunes store: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/recoil/id377702422?mt=8 - perfect for keeping in touch with all the latest news including up-to-the-minute posts regarding Recoil's tour schedule.

After several successful performances of 'A Strange Hour' across Europe and the US (which also marked the first time Alan / Recoil had ventured out of the studio), further dates were announced in South America for November 2010, with more North American and Canadian dates to be added. Alan and Paul Kendall are currently busy working out an updated set.

An accomplished musician, Alan continues to hone his skills in the studio. During his 14 year stint as a member of Depeche Mode, Wilder pushed against the constrictive boundaries of commercial pop music. Created in the mid-eighties as an antidote to the high-demands of DM, Recoil became Wilder's sole studio propriety. Two albums were released: Hydrology (1988) and Bloodline (1990). Both were an indication of his expanding horizons. After his departure from Depeche Mode in 1995, Recoil became Wilder's full-time project. Since then, he has released Unsound Methods (1997), Liquid (2000) and subHuman (2007).

Recoil Selected, a brand new selection of classic Recoil tracks, is available now. It contains a track listing personally chosen by Alan who explains, "The collection is made up of my personal favourites, re-mastered and edited together into what I consider a cohesive and total listening experience." The album features a varied selection of vocalists including Diamanda Galás, Joe Richardson, Douglas McCarthy (Nitzer Ebb), Nicole Blackman, Samantha Coerbell, Toni Halliday (Curve) and Maggie Estep. Recoil Selected is available to download either in one or two CD set editions. Fans can stay tuned to www.selected.recoil.co.uk for continuing updates.

Chitown Rapstar Beadz Latest Single "Super Bad" A Hit

Website: http://www.beadzmusic.com
Music: http://dubfiler.com/91725c7aea56

Beadz aka Mr. Everywhere Chicago, needs no introduction to the music community. This talented MC has been on his grind for many years which began while in High School. Beadz has performed at almost every major local hip hop event in the city as well as the surrounding cities in the midwest. Recently back from touring with Slim Thug ,King Nitty and Young Buck, Beadz felt it was time to release his latest single "Super Bad" featuring RnB producer Cinte. His on deck single "Celebrate" was leaked to the fans in Chicago with rave reviews. Beadz is one of a few upcoming Chicago artists interviewed in several major magazines including the Source magazine, Hood Magazine in Florida and Atlanta, Ozone magazine, Hip Hop Weekly and Street Talk magazine in Atlanta. He was also interviewed by Tha Hood Magazine in Germany and Toronto Hip Hop Magazine. Beadz has been featured on mixtapes throughout the country including TjsDjs CD Exclusives, Southern Record Pool Conference Mix Tape, This Is The Remix Mixtape, Coast To Coast Mix Tape, ATL Record Pool Conference Mix tape as well as Demand And Supply from Dj Head Bussa and Dj Smoke Mixtapes. Beadz not only made his name in 2008 with the street anthem "D Boy" but with locally released single "What It's Hittin 4". In 2009 he gave us "Shawty Gon Go" as well as "South Side Party" along with many features on other projects. The current songs "Super Bad" as well as the recently leaked radio version of a still in the lab track "Celebrate" will surely turn industry money makers towards Chicago for the rest of the summer as these singles will make noise throughout the country. He is slated to drop the 3rd installment of "Respect the Bottom Line" series which made him a local celeb in 2007. Beadz new track "Super Bad" features young talent RnB producer Cinte who gives an added punch to the song. The song is already getting local spins on mixshows. Chicago's most upcoming superstar has just gotten better. Wise up world.

Keep The Groove Presents An Instrumental Remake Of Jay-Z And Alicia Keys' Now Classic Empire State Of Mind

Website: http://www.KeepTheGroove.com
Music: http://www.keepthegroove.com/#/audio-jukebox/4513290019

Keep The Groove Proudly Presents a creative and relaxed interpretation of a modern day anthem "Empire State of Mind" made famous by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys containing a mix of electronic sounds, contemporary groove and urban pop influence. Production credits go to Mike Di Lorenzo, seasoned keyboard artist whose 2005 debut release "Urbanized" made its way onto the smooth jazz charts and radio waves featuring a chilled-out version of Stevie Wonder's "Too High". Mike is back with a single that reflects his journeys from jazz to R&B and pop. Equally adept and comfortable in either of these idioms, it is very challenging taking on a current pop classic and making it your sound. Mike's sound it is! - smooth, grooving and cool - as if he were jamming with Daft Punk on a Miami Vice soundtrack.
