JES, Shant & Clint Maximus Nominated For Grammy Award For "Hold On" (Fatum Remix)

The Recording Academy has announced the nominees for the 58th Annual Grammy Awards and dance music star JES is thrilled to be in consideration for BEST REMIXED RECORDING, NON-CLASSICAL, for the Fatum remix to her song with Shant & Clint Maximus, "Hold On."

The very first release off of JES' new label Intonenation Records, the nomination comes as no surprise to those who have followed the singer-songwriter's accomplished career from her beginnings as the featured vocalist on tracks with Tiesto, BT, Paul Oakenfold and more to her current reign as label head, DJ and producer.

"I want to say a huge thank you to everyone that has supported "Hold On" this year," says JES. "I really hoped that the debut release on my label Intonenation Records would be something special so receiving this nomination means so much to everyone involved. I think we all felt the song had a unique quality from the start and Chad and Bill from FATUM managed to elevate it to another level with their incredible remix. Thank you all for believing in our dream and having the courage to pursue it."

The DJ and radio support for the Fatum remix was off the charts, seeing play from Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond, ATB, Myon and Shane, Cosmic Gate, Judge Jules, and many others. Fatum gives "A massive thank you to JES, Shant & Clint Maximus for asking us to remix such an awesome record. We've always been huge fans of JES' but we knew this vocal was special, and indeed it was!"

Shant & Clint Maximus "knew the track was a special one when JES wanted to release it on Intonenation Records as its first release. Her vocals were unreal and words cannot describe how powerful, how touching the lyrics are."

The 58th Grammy Awards will be broadcast on CBS on February 15, 2016 at 8/7c.

JES' latest release "Happy" with Austin Leeds & Redhead Roman is out now on Intonenation Records!

Alonso Sound Releases Morgan Page Soundset for Spire

With two GRAMMY® nominations, multiple sold-out tours, and with the recent release of his sixth studio album, Morgan Page is widely acclaimed for his EDM musical mastery. He has now teamed up with Alonso Sound, a leading soundware designer, to develop a new soundset for Spire, a software synthesizer by Reveal Sound.

Distinguished for his wholehearted approach to music, Page has defined each preset to have its own character and individuality. Each patch is optimized for CPU performance and assigned mod wheel controls for multiple sound-shaping variations. New sonic dimensions can be explored by activating the Muted FX slots for fresh and unpredictable possibilities.

Continuously motivated by his fans, Page wanted to give back and take part in shaping the next era of producers and music. "Not only can I inspire people with a new album, but I can take it a step further and share the tools to help up-and-coming music producers succeed in their own careers," he said. "It was really important for me to develop a sound pack I'd personally use on every song, containing everything from big bass lines to tuned drums. The pack has everything you need to build a new song from scratch. I can't wait to see what people do with it!"

The Morgan Page Spire Soundset contains all of the tools needed to produce music like an award-winning artist. Included are sounds from Morgan's recent releases, such as his latest album release DC To Light, as well as sounds from upcoming productions.

Morgan Page Spire Soundset Features:
- 128 sounds; programmed by Morgan Page
- 10 main patch categories: Arp (9), Bass (49), Brass (2), Chord (3), Drum (8), FX (7), Lead (22), Pad (14), Pluck (9), Synth (5)
- Core instrument patch mapping and programming
- All patches assigned intuitive mod wheel parameters for easy tweaking and multiple sound variations
- Format(s): .sbf (Full Bank) and .spf (Individual Patches)

"It's been an incredible experience working with Morgan Page", says Adam Alonso, CEO of Alonso Sound. "Morgan's imaginative approach to music inspired us to challenge our approach to sound design, and together led us cultivate an innovative soundset for Spire. We worked deliberately to make sure that aspiring producers have useful and proven sounds to take their productions to the next level."

Note: Requires Full Retail Version of Spire 1.0.20 or later
