(New York, NY) The #1 female DJ on the planet (and A|X Music Series Alum) DJ Rap (Charissa Saverio) releases Synthesis (Ministry of Sound), a brand new studio album that weaves together a full compliment of synthetic textures and organic moods, and paints a lucid picture of her journey as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

Powerful, melodic and immaculately produced, Synthesis is a return to the hybridization of styles she brought forward on Learning Curve (Sony), her 1999 debut that had magazines like Rolling Stone and Ray Gun heralding her arrival into the mainstream. The albumʼs first single, "Give It All Away," will be released November 2009.

Over her 15-year career, DJ Rap has moved effortlessly between genres, staking her claim on various styles within the electronic spectrum, while simultaneously pushing the limits of rock and pop. The First Lady of Drum ʻnʼ Bass and the undisputed Queen of the Turntables, her music has infiltrated club systems and car stereos worldwide, and her numerous forays into video game and motion picture soundtracks have solidified her pedigree as one dance musicʼs most successful and prolific artists.

With three studio albums, 75 mix compilations and over 2,000,000 in cumulative worldwide sales to her name, what makes you think sheʼd stop now?

For Immediate Release: 





(New York) April 30th, 2010 - Some tracks just get better with time. First surfacing in 2007 as ‘Feels Like Home’ which went on to become an international club monster, Meck was subsequently contacted by Madonnano less to help her use 'Feels Like Home' in a mashup with her classic ‘Like A Prayer’ in the summer 2008. Which was featured heavily on her'Sticky & Sweet' Tour.

Following unprecedented demandMeck and Dino now bring you the track that caused such a stir with a host of top notch remixes from man of the moment Michael Woods, Dutch master Rene Amesz and acclaimed tech / trance producer Bart Claessen.

With his interpretation already receiving massive support from Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, Michael Woods means business with his remix, building subtle tension with short drops and big FX rises before slamming back in with the beats & driving bass line, taking you to the break down then unleashing an unashamedly euphoric riff pattern that will make you reminisce back to the good old days of House music. The mix is very high in intensity and will blow the roof off any party the world over!

Rene Amesz comes with his trademark Dutch sound, piercing synth stabs layered over crisp chugging beats making very good use of the vocal line ‘Feel’s Like Home’, before that recognizable riff bursts out of the speakers and takes hold of your senses. The track progresses with a big and bold bass line and variating percussion hits in the mix, this mix will stretch across many different playlists!

Bart Claessen debuts on Napith Music with a booming tech-trance take of the original. His up-tempo rhythms are well crafted releasing awesomely uplifting waves of sound that will raise the hairs on the back of every neck in the club. As with the previous mixes he drops the euphoric riff pattern in the break but only teases us with it until the beats drop back in and he let’s go with that killer riff.

An energetic mix that will receive support from all the heavy hitters!

There is a mix to suit everyone’s tastes and ‘Feels Like A Prayer’ is no doubt the summer anthem of 2010.

Carl Cox Brings Beats to Black Rock Desert for GU Debut
Techno King teams with Global Underground for this extraordinary release!

(New York, NY) December 9th, 2009 - Carl Cox releases his debut Global Underground mix album, ‘Black Rock Desert,’ on January 25th, 2010, taken from a storming 2 hour set at The Opulent Temple in the Black Rock Desert this summer.

Both CDs are bursting with exclusives. CD1 includes the whacked out groove of Tiefschwarz’s ‘Trust’ and Onionz’s ‘Spacebass’ (Original Mix), with its rocket jet booms and spiralling percussion. Guy J’s ‘Lamur’ (Henry Saiz remix) drops a tribal robot stomp, before the shuffling beats of Alan Fitzpatrick’s ‘Green Light’ take over. Fitzpatrick also supplies a panting re-rub of ‘Slice’ from New York techno legend Joey Beltram.

‘Main Room Part 1’ by Robbie Rivera opens CD2, with piercing strings launching into a harder, more madcap mix that is Carl’s favourite of the two. Joachim Gaurraud’s ‘No Techno In This Room Please’ is a highlight with clanging bin-lid percussion, echoing howls and submarine bass wallops. ‘Perfect Sunrise’ by Wilson Smallwood & Ingram drops in gloopy twists reminiscent of 808 State’s ‘Pacific State’ and Politeca’s ‘What Kind Of World’ closes with its pulsing, jazzy undertones.

No label encapsulates dance music's international explosion and restless creativity quite like Global Underground. Launched in 1996 with a Tony de Vit mix album based on a visit to Tel Aviv, it has expanded from a world-famous series of defining DJ mix CDs into all areas of cutting edge dance music. They have released artist albums for acts like James Lavelle's UNKLE, sound tracked some of the world’s most popular TV shows, including CSI, and some of PlayStation's biggest selling games, and staged fantastic parties in some of the world’s most exotic locations – not to mention selling over three million CDs. And now they’ve touched down in Nevada.

“When I finally decided to do a Global Underground mix it just had to be here,” says Carl. “Everything aside from the entrance fee is free. It’s all about sharing and contributing to the experience. People barter, offering everything from free artwork installations to free flirting lessons and drinks. And Nevada looks like a scene from mad Max.”

Jason Teplitsky and Syd Gris finally talked Carl into playing at the festival’s Opulent Temple in 2008. He was so moved by the event, he resolved to keep coming back every year. He continues, “It’s people who are there for their own reasons – whether it’s to laugh, to cry, to have sex, to listen to music, whether you want to run around naked, or fully clothed,” says Carl. “It doesn’t matter if you are a big DJ. It’s all about what you want to give. I’ve spent a lot of my own money to play here, but I don’t care. I give people my music and I get back a lot of love. That’s enough.”

Carl defines techno: his 1995 techno mix album ‘F.A.C.T’ sold 250,000 copies; he had three Top 30 UK hits – with ‘I Want You’ in 1991, The ‘Two Paintings And A Drum’ EP in 1996, and later ‘Sensual Sophist-i-cat’. From ‘96-‘03 his Ultimate Base night at London’s Velvet Rooms attracted the likes of Sven Vath and Laurent Garnier, who used to come just to dance. In ‘06, his night at Space won Best Ibiza Club Night at the Ibiza DJ Awards, in ‘08 he returned to the UK with the Carl Cox and Friends Night at Heaven and readers of Mixmag voted him the Best DJ of the last 25 years. Now 47, he lives half the year in Melbourne, Australia, and continues headlining the best clubs and parties all over the world. “After the Ibiza season, after the festivals I’ve done, after my own events,” he said, “the story still continues in a massive way – I’m working with new people, seeing different places and I’m overjoyed the Global Underground team got me on board for this mix.”
