Get In The Mood With Plunky & Oneness

Smooth jazz saxophone can set just the right tone for intimacy so the Plunky & Oneness soulful sax version of "In The Mood," should lead to lots of romance. This reprise of the Whispers' hit song is a bit more subtle but just as suggestive as crooned by Plunky's tenor sax and answered by the enticingly sexy vocals of his musical soul mate, Charlayne "Chyp" Green.

N.A.M.E. Brand Records announces the February 8, 2016 release of "In The Mood," the latest single by the legendary jazz funk group, Plunky & Oneness, available on CD or download from CDBaby.com, Amazon.com, itunes.com, etc.

Written by Kenneth "Baby Face" Edmonds and Darryl Simmons, "In the Mood" is a mellow mood setter and Plunky's saxophone rendition is a musical arrow in cupid's Valentine's quiver, or an invitation for warm cuddling on a cold winter's night, or a mellow soundtrack for a blossoming springtime rendezvous. The song is perfect for getting lovers "in the mood..."

Says Plunky, "We just wanted to give a musical gift to lovers. Chyp has always loved the song so it was nice for us to do it featuring sax and vocals like a modern day Lady Day and Prez..."

Check out the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4SSLGs_e-4
Listen on Soundclound: https://soundcloud.com/plunky-1-1/in-the-mood-full-mix

The single is a musical interlude and precursor to a new album, "Plunky & Oneness of Juju Jazz & Funk," scheduled for release in June, 2016. The album's release will coincide with the publication of Plunky's new book, PLUNKY: Juju Jazz Funk & Oneness – A Musical Memoir.

Runway 27, Left wins The Akademia Music Award for Best Blues Song


With critical coverage by German magazine 'Der Folker', playing their first concerts in Switzerland and two of their performances filmed full length by Austrian TV station Servus TV, 2015 was a fairly successful year for Runway 27, Left. Receiving their first award ever, The Akademia Music Award for Best Blues Song in the January 2016 Akademia Music Awards, the new year sees the acoustic blues duo make a head start. On the winning song, The Akademia thinks that "Aptly titled, 'Tex-Mex Food And Texas Blues' combines easy lyrical stylings with a cool electric guitar riff to create a great anthem for any merry bar scene."

On their current album 'Friends And Catfish', Lukas Weber of Planet.tt Magazine from Vienna, Austria, says that "Half of the album was recorded at historic Sun Studio in Tennessee, the other half in Berlin; the result is something to be proud of (to listen to). Editor's picks: 'Blue Sunday' & 'Talking To Myself'."

Radio personality Josep Palmada of the Red Hot Blues Radio Show on Radio Vilafant from Spain thinks that 'Runway 27 Left from Vienna (Austria) show a very personal approach to the blues. It's a duo consisting of Anthony 'Tone' Kammerhofer and Erich 'Weissfeder' Brandl, mainly influenced by blues, country, Rock'n Roll, Zydeco and Bluegrass. Their second album 'Friends And Catfish' was recorded in the USA and Europe, and all songs on the album are original songs. It's great work.'

With more than 80 performances from 2011 to 2015 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, acoustic duo Runway 27, Left's first album 'Weekend Warriors' was released on their label 'Weissfeder Records' in March 2012. The harbinger of their first album, radio-only release 'Flawed & Flattened', had already gathered radio airplay in the UK, the USA, Spain, The Netherlands, Australia, Germany, Austria and Macedonia.

Eventually, April and May 2012 saw their first, brief guest appearances upon invitation by local artists in Memphis, TN, and New Orleans, LA. February 2013 saw them back in Memphis, TN, for recording their first few songs for their upcoming second album at historic Sun Records Studio, further enhancing their strong bond with St. Blues Guitar Workshop, too. The second part of their second album was recorded in September 2013 at Tonbrauerei Studios in Berlin, Germany. In January 2016, Runway 27, Left received the Akademia Music Awards for Best Blues Song for 'Tex-Mex Food & Texas Blues'. Both albums, 'Weekend Warriors' and 'Friends And Catfish' are available on all respective download platforms worldwide.

Runway 27, Left is a blues project having former Trans Am/Sun Luca/Run Riot bass player Erich 'White Feather' Brandl and My Other Brother lead vocalist Anthony 'Tone' Kammerhofer team up.

The musicians (Erich Brandl - guitars, bass, backing vocals and Anthony Kammerhofer - lead vocals, rhythm guitars) try to reconnect with the roots of pop and rock music, calling their style 'In-Blues Entertainment'.

Runway 27, Left's concert schedule for spring 2016:
10 Mar 2016 - Mausefalle - Bonn, Germany
11 Mar 2016 - Backpackers Inn - Einbeck, Germany

SYNC: The world's very first Ringtones & Ringbacks programming language


SYNC is the world's very first Ringtones & Ringbacks programming language that was used to instruct the microprocessor in the cell phone to play particular notes from an infinite number of ringtones at what speed and in what order for an incoming call (ringtone) or the sound the actual caller can hear (ringback). With capabilities of variable and EQ adjustments, SYNC allowed cell phones users to create and their own ringtones and ringbacks, whether monophonic, polyphonic, DJ style or a minimalist repetitive loops, for over-the-air delivery. The SYNC created audio files, usually between ten and thirty seconds in length, is a ringtone or ringback computer program stored on the memory chip of the cell phone whose primary function is to instruct the microprocessor what the cell phone speaker should do. SYNC was invented by prolific inventor Andre Gray, who used his creation to also invent ringtones and ringbacks and gave them their precise names and uploaded them to his single-webpage on February 5, 1994. For the world's first ringtone and ringback, Gray chose the ten second opening of Johann Sebastian Bach's Tocatta and fugue in D Minor with a link to his newsgroup page that provided extensive instructions on how to download & use SYNC to create ringtones & ringbacks. These instructions were the acknowledged primary inspiration for the 1998 Japanese published bestselling book (sold 3.5 million copies in its first year of release) on how to create your own ringtones. SYNC is a meta language, which simply means that all or almost all other programming languages for a specific medium or industry is based upon and defined by that foundational & broadly encompassing programming language. Since its invention and first published appearance on the world wide web as the world's first commercial ringtones and ringbacks programming language, SYNC has inspired every single cell phone ringtones programming language either as an exact copycat or as an obvious derivative.

Killer Tracks Adds Soul to Artist Series with New Release from Luke McMaster

I Feel Alive, a collection of 13 pop-driven, original songs from blue-eyed soul singer Luke McMaster, is the latest addition to Killer Tracks' acclaimed Artists Series. The tracks are available for licensing through www.killertracks.com and for commercial purchase on iTunes. Killer Tracks is the leading source for today's hottest pre-cleared production music.

"Luke McMaster writes great music with memorable melodies and big catchy choruses," says Carl Peel, Killer Tracks Vice President of Production. Luke's songs are real and emotionally relevant, and they work with visuals. Very few people can nail all that. Luke did."

McMaster wrote and produced the 13 tracks featured on I Feel Alive in tandem with award-winning songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Arun Chaturvedi. They were recorded at Lakewood Studios, Toronto. "The music pulls from a variety of influences…soul, pop, hip hop, R&B and Motown," observes McMaster. "The common thread is that they are very melodic. I love melody, and I like to write songs that put smiles on people's faces!"

Formerly one-half of the gold-selling Canadian duo McMaster & James, Luke McMaster has earned popular and critical acclaim for his passionate, contemporary take on classic soul and early Motown-influenced music. His debut solo release All Roads drew sparkling reviews and produced the hit "Good Morning Beautiful" (featuring Jim Brickman) which vaulted to number 3 on Billboard's AC Radio charts.

McMaster has collaborated with such artists as Rihanna, Nick Lachey, Kyle Riabko and Marc Jordan. His songs have been featured in the television series Degrassi and The Next Generation. His latest commercial album, Trending, will be released this spring.

McMaster is excited about working with Killer Tracks and proud to have I Feel Alive selected for the Artists Series catalog. "Connecting with Killer Tracks was a beautiful thing," he says. "We were instantly on the same ‘song sheet.' They encouraged us to spread our wings and be true to ourselves. They want real songs that speak to people, tracks with depth and that elevate whatever they are synced with."

"When people hear these songs, the melodies will stick in their heads and they'll find themselves singing along to the radio in their heads," says Peel. "It's Luke's songs and his soulful voice."

Launched in 2012, Killer Tracks' Artist Series features original tracks from breakout artists from across the spectrum of popular music. Previous releases include work for The Mutants, Rev Theory, Rare Monk, Shiny Toy Guns, Tamar Karprelian, Misun and Alex Band. The venture has led to a number of notable licensing deals.
