Since its founding in 1983 by Michael Levine, the Dallas Brass has become one of America’s foremost musical ensembles. The group has established a unique blend of traditional brass instruments with a full complement of drums and percussion, which creates a performing entity of extraordinary range and musical challenges. The Dallas Brass repertoire includes classical masterpieces, Dixieland, swing, Broadway, Hollywood and patriotic music.

According to Mr. Levine, "a Dallas Brass concert is intended for the entire family. Our ideal audience has a range in ages from 5 to 95. Our goal is to entertain and enrich by playing great music, while showing our audience how much we enjoy what we do."

In addition to their solo engagements, the Dallas Brass appears with symphony orchestras nationwide. Symphonic credits include the Cincinnati Pops conducted by Erich Kunzel, New York Pops conducted by Skitch Henderson, and the Philly Pops conducted by Peter Nero. The Dallas Brass has performed at Carnegie Hall, the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and has toured overseas to Europe and the Far East. They have shared the stage with the late Bob Hope, have performed for Presidents Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush, have appeared on the CBS “Early Show,” and their music has been used numerous times on the television show, “The Young & The Restless.”

The ensemble has released six recordings: Debut, Dallas Brass II, A Merry Christmas with Brass, Windborne, Nutcracker and American Musical Journey.

Songs For Blake Out Now

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=174140

Independent Melbourne Label, YakMusic Records, is thrilled to announce the release of “Songs for Blake – Embracing Autism”, a digital fundraising compilation which is now available via online stores iTunes and Bandcamp.

Over a year in the making, “Songs for Blake” is the brainchild of Mark Davis, whose youngest son Blake was a given a preliminary diagnosis of Autism (or ASD - Autism Spectrum Disorder) in February 2013, at the age of 2 years and 7 months. In August 2013, Blake’s final diagnosis was that he showed “severe symptoms of ASD.”

In April 2013, Mark began approaching various artists from the USA, Canada, UK, New Zealand, and Australia, asking if they’d be willing to contribute their own songs to help raise funds for Blake to support his ongoing early intervention programme. Blake’s treatment includes ongoing intensive therapy relating to speech, occupation, and behaviour, that will help him develop skills that are so important in life; in particular, his communication and socialisation skills.

“With what started as just an idea has turned into one of the most fulfilling projects I’ve ever been involved with,” Mr Davis stated. “I’m simply over the moon at the bands we’ve managed to get on this album.”

“Some of the artists are musical heroes of mine that I’ve enjoyed listening to since I was a teenager, while others are close friends and old work colleagues that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing over the years” Mark added. “It’s quite a remarkable how it’s all come together.”

A small percentage of the proceeds will also be donated annually to a number of handpicked Autism organisations worldwide.

Songs for Blake – Embracing Autism is a double-disc album, labelled Side A and Side B, that will be sold as one compilation. It comprises of various genres of music, ranging from Alternative Rock to Acoustic Folk and Electronic.
Songs for Blake features the amazing talents of:

● Seattle Soul / Funk / Alternative multi-instrumentalist Shawn Smith

● Canadian Rock giants Monster Truck
● New Zealand born (now LA based) singer-songwriter multi-instrumentalist Ladyhawke

NEW EVENTIDE H9 EQ ALGORITHM FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=174182

LITTLE FERRY, NEW JERSEY, May 20, 2014 — Today, Eventide announced the release of a new version its H9 Control app for Windows, Mac, and iOS which includes a number of UI enhancements suggested by users and delivers a new algorithm to the H9: EQ Compressor for H9.

EQ Compressor combines a multi-featured, parametric equalizer with a dynamic, intuitive compressor to create a powerful tone shaping tool for guitar, voice, or any spectrally-rich sound.

The EQ section is comprised of four independent filters: two parametric bands, a low shelf and a high shelf. H9 Control’s graphical interface makes carving your tone easy.

Combining the tone-shaping ability of an EQ with the dynamics processing of a compressor makes for a world tone fun. The compressor section can be placed before or after the EQ and features up to 12 dB of boost to push an amp to awesomeness and beyond for your soul-shredding solos, enabling you to emphasize, harness, and control the parts of your sound you want to shine through a mix

“EQ Compressor has been in the works for quite a while and evolved over a period of alpha and beta testing,” said Ray Maxwell Vice President Sales and Marketing. “Despite the wide-range of effects that the H9 is capable of, “spank” wasn’t one of them. It is now.”

EQ Compressor is available free to H9 owners through Friday, June 20.

Song: Crazy Heart
Artist: Matthew Schultz ft. Alessia Guarnera
Genre: Top 40 - Pop

Links to stream the song for free: http://arena.com/artist/matthewschultz

Link for ITunes release date today May 15th 2014: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/crazy-heart-feat.-alessia/id872735912

"Crazy Heart" by Matthew Schultz ft. Alessia Guarnera starts off with a really relaxing sounding acoustic guitar, and Alessia Guarnera's voice which is stunning. With a voice like that, it is no wonder that she has been labeled the 'Janis Joplin of her time'. She effortlessly reaches high as well as low notes, and she is complimented by the deeper male voice in the verses. Matthew Schultz takes this song to a whole new level with his rhythmic singing, making this song outstanding. I am also very impressed with the quality of this song; it is right up there with the worlds top artists, such as Rihanna. The acoustic guitar in the background is well played, and the song really makes you feel what the artist's want you to feel. The lyrics are also really well written, I love the line "the way you spin me round and round works like the weather". The song is full of catchy lines and I can see this being played on the radio as well as TV and Internet. All in all I would definitely recommend this song to anyone out there who is looking for a relaxing tune that could well be the soundtrack of this year's Summer.

ABOUT DAVE CLARKE
He may be known as The Baron Of Techno, a moniker given to him by renowned BBC Radio DJ / journalist John Peel, but Dave Clarke has an anarchist streak a mile wide and punk in his soul, having no truck with establishment figures or authoritarianism.

A hard working purist, forward thinking futurist, technology geek, part Gothic and gadget lover who embraced the digital revolution in an early stage while his peers where still sniffing the smell of vinyl, a format he hasn’t used professionally in eleven years. It’s unsurprising he revels in the libertarianism of the World Wide Web. It gives symmetry to his savvy techno vision.

As a talented DJ and producer Dave Clarke will continue his newfound love for making music, gather air miles by the gallon and preach his vision on techno both on the decks and on the radio, whilst never forgetting the long and bumpy journey he had to undertake to get where he is now: on top of the game, respected by both fans and peers and very much relevant in today’s scene. "He might be established, but he will never be establishment". http://www.daveclarke.com/

ABOUT TOMORROWLAND
This year over 400 artists will once again be appearing on the various colourful stages that have been constructed in the spectacular festival park De Schorre in Boom. For three whole days, 180,000 visitors will immerse themselves in a magical world.

The originally Belgian festival will once again be living The American Dream this year when the festival is held there for the second time on the last weekend of September 2014.

New Spanish Music Artist Grace Rodson Has "Samba In Her Bones"

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=173990

London, England - Like a simmering plate of succulent seafood paella, Spain native Grace Rodson is serving a mouth watering concoction of Latin flavors with her debut release "Samba in My Bones" from Global Media Group and JFM Records. Skillfully stirring the flavors of flamenco, Latin, funk, Celtic and yes, samba in her delectable pot seasoned with a pop music base, Rodson sizzles as an engaging new international artist with an enchanting look and sound.

"Samba in her Bones" is a tantalizing dish of nine original recipes for dance, straight from Rodson's heart. Performed with the intention to incite uninhibited movement, Rodson's luscious vocals carry the listener into a realm of whirling, syncopated rhythms. While the title track sways with Brazilian heat and intensity, moving sonic beats through the air, "Way of Life" is an uptempo concoction that sprinkles in a dash of fervent hip hop flow from UK rapper T. Smith. Rodson sweetens the offering with "It Will Rain," a seductive and sensual serenade that pulses, sways and swings with compassion. "Everything," another entree on the menu, is a beautiful ballad that renders strength and hope.

A native of Galicia, Spain, currently living in London, Grace Rodson is a product of the music she was surrounded by as a child. "Galicia is a land of migrants. I grew up listening to salsa, cumbia, merinque and bachata." Expresses Grace, "My great-grandparents lived in Cuba and Texas, my aunties in Venezuela and Brazil, my grandparents, mother and uncle in Argentina. So I am a wonderful smorgasbord of Latin sound, dance and rhythm. 'Samba in My Bones' is a celebration of the diversity in the varied cultures around me with movement being the common denominator. Music and dance are the essence of my expression. For me this project is a journey of my love stories and music is my ultimate love!"

Grace Rodson was the winner of the GSD Latin Music Awards 2011 in the categories of Best Album, Best Female Singer and Best Song. She tours and performs throughout Europe and is a singer and bandleader for Yes!!! Brazil Show, a Latin-Brazilian group. She is also the bandleader for "The Godfather of Salsa in the United King, Roberto Pla and his Latin Ensemble, who are known as the best salsa band in Europe.

Grace Rodson may have 'samba in her bones' but after grooving to her debut project, music lovers will have Grace Rodson in their hearts. The project is available on iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/samba-in-my-bones/id867447922 .

The American Dream Of Stage Republic

http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=174049

Independent Dutch pop act Stage Republic is about to release its debut album Firstage. In an attempt to generate a buzz and media attention, the album was placed on the Music Xray online A&R platform. In less than 2 months time all 11 songs of the album were placed for inclusion in TV, Film, Sport events and advertising in the US and globally. This puts Stage Republic in a unique position. Frontman Raven explains: "I'm a very small artist without the support of a major marketing machine behind me. I had no way to get the attention of the American public. Music Xray has changed that for me. All songs have been picked up even before the release of the album. Stage Republic is getting some serious attention now. It's great to be heard."

The success means that Stage Republic can now give the album away to the fans for free.

Stage Republic is the vehicle of expression of eclectic Dutch singer and songwriter Raven. With producer ItsBart he created an instantly recognisable sound reminiscent of the 80s superbands like Duran Duran, Wham! and A-ha combined with the best of Dutch beats and Raven's trademark voice.
