Rapper Inspekta unveils clown themed video for new single "Jump Jump"

Nigerian born, London based Inspekta is back with a new ode to living life, discussing societies sheepish tactics with a new music video fueled by fun. The rapper talks about the wrongs in the world, but is seeing it for what it is, poking fun at it by wearing a clown outfit.

The track boasts a catchy hook and chorus. "Jump Jump" produced by Jay Picasso, is the latest lift from the solo artists forthcoming album, Live Your Life, and comes as a more thought provoking follow-up to last year’s stream of music which Inspekta released on his SoundCloud page.

"The message behind the track aims to raise awareness of how we as a society may fall victims to marketing campaigns and unreal lifestyles portrayed on TV. Essentially saying we ‘Jump Jump’ when advertisers / marketers tell us to buy into the products they want to sell whether we actually need it or not." said Inspekta.

You can expect Live Your Life to be a reflection of Inspekta admitting to what he thinks is wrong with the world, while he also seeks to motivate the listener to discover pursue their passion.

Featuring a sway-inducing poppy theme, Inspekta lashes out on the wickedly catchy hook. "Jump Jump" has the truth written all over it. Stream it exclusively below, and keep an eye out for the LYL album.

Digital Music Pioneer Andre Gray Launches Demo 2.0 As A EPK Video Sharing Social Network For Musicians

DEMO 2.0 announces its launch as a very simple and intuitive one-stop electronic press kit (EPK) video sharing social network for musicians, artists, bands, singers, models, actors, photographers, DJs, record companies, entertainment entrepreneurs & executives, and all other operators in the entertainment industry. The EPK profiles, which are of professional quality with unlimited media data storage, are completely free.

The two distinguishing factors that set DEMO 2.0 apart from other video sharing social networks is that, first, it is created specifically for showcasing EPK videos and not necessarily regular music videos. Second, it is geared primarily towards independent and unsigned artists and they will be given top priority, though major label artists are also welcome.

The brainchild of Andre Gray, inventor of the EPK in 1995, DEMO 2.0 is a full functioning social network with all the standard capabilities provided by other social networks such as the ability to create membership profiles that includes bio, photos, video, music, groups, blogs, and the ability to share content across other leading social media hubs.

Soundizers Announces The Release Of StereoMonoizer For Windows And New Pricing

Atlanta based company Soundizers is pleased to announce that StereoMonoizer is now available for Windows. Pricing has also been adjusted to allow more flexibility. A single license can now be purchased for $49, in addition to the dual license option which is still available for $79.

StereoMonoizer is a simple to use application for Mac and PC that analyzes audio files and determines their stereo content, allowing you to convert to the proper format before importing into your DAW. This is a HUGE time saver for mix assistants, as well as engineers working without an assistant. It is also beneficial for producers, artists, or anyone else who works with audio files. A process that used to take an hour or more per song can now be accomplished in minutes.

StereoMonoizer provides automatic analysis and conversion of all of the user’s audio files, dramatically streamlining the process of preparing sessions for mixdown. A deep set of features provides for accurate representation of stereo and mono audio data, compensating for panning, file organization, overwrites, folder organizing and backups, and more.

The best feature of all is that StereoMonoizer will save you tons of time on each project. If time really is money, you can’t afford not to own StereoMonoizer.

FEATURES

- Easy drag-and-drop operation for importing files

- Stereo/Mono Conversion to automatically analyze files and identify “mono audio in stereo files.” This allows you to convert these files into true single-channel mono files before importing into your DAW, which saves on disk space, CPU cycles, and voice/track count.

- Recognizes all mono sounds in stereo files, including partially panned and hard panned files, and correctly chooses the appropriate channel to output.

- Recognizes split stereo (.L/.R) files, and allows conversion to interleaved stereo or true mono, depending on the audio content of the file.

- Allows the user to manually override the algorithm, in case you would like to output a different format than suggested. For example a stereo track consisting of two acoustic guitars panned left and right, would be recognized as a stereo file. But you might instead wish to output these as two mono files.

- Pan Depth Compensation to automatically adjust the level of the converted mono files. In the case that your imported files are already pre-mixed and the levels need to remain the same, use this option to compensate for the volume differences due to pan depth settings in your DAW.

- Normalize Gain mode will adjust the gain of each file to a desired level, in the event you receive files that are either too loud or too soft. This alleviates the need to adjust clip gain once in the mix.

- Check For Blank Files will automatically identify files that contain no audio. This can be beneficial, alerting you to problems ahead of time, instead of after you have already imported all your files.

- Multiple output modes allow you to overwrite files, create backups, or choose an output folder. This allows you to work with your files in any way you prefer.

- Innovative stereo waveform view displays audio along with its stereo content. Mono content is displayed in grey, while stereo content is displayed in blue. For the first time ever, you can view the stereo content of your entire file at a glance, without the need for real-time analyzers and phase meters.

StereoMonoizer is $49 for a single license, $79 for two licenses (useful for an engineer and assistant to work simultaneously).

About JIMI HENDRIX FOUNDATION

Seattle, Wa. EIN: 20-0319904



Cultural ambassador to the Sunset Strip, WILLIE BASSE has been appointed to the position of VP of Marketing for The Jimi Hendrix Foundation.



BASSE comments, "I Am very excited to work with this charity and give back to the world community. I believe we can change and improve our society for the better by investing in our youth"



Willie's new project, http://thegypsyexperience.com

features: MITCH PERRY on guitars (Cher, Edgar Winter, MSG/Michael Schenker, Graham Nash, Lita Ford, Aerosmith), ALVIN TAYLOR on drums (Little Richard, Eric Burdon, Elton John, George Harrison, Billy Preston, Sammy Hagar, Ron Wood, Buddy Miles, Jimi Hendrix) and WILLIE BASSE on bass & vocals (Buddy Miles, Black Sheep)



The high energy Electric Blues Trio will be playing debut concerts at THE BACK BAR in Janesville, Wi. on Thursday JUNE 4 and REGGIES in Chicago on Saturday JUNE 6 co-headlining with DEVON ALLMAN (son of living blues legend, Gregg Allman)



As government support for education wanes and the economy stiffens, administrators are making deep cuts in Art and Humanities Education. There seems to be rampant ignorance of the powerful impact art & music education have on IQ, high order thinking and reasoning. This service vacuum creates the need for independent development and funding of supplemental arts and humanities programs for our children.



As a Charity Corporation, The Jimi Hendrix Foundation, with its strategic partners establish initiatives and uses the 'star power' of Jimi Hendrix to create programs that provide direct and/or indirect funding, as well as programs in art, music and community education in our home community, our great nation and the world.
