The evolution of Ashley Thomas...

Seriously steppin up his game this year Bashy has really taken UK music a step further. Whether you love or hate the new directions he has taken his sound - you can't deny that he has become one of the most consistent artists of this decade!

This video reminded me of the Dallas TV show intro - for all those 80s babies (or was that Dynasty...?)

Simple but effective tho still...

Young G-City DJ to perform winning set in Bristol!

I have been working as a New Music specialist at Chequers Bridge Youth Arts Centre, Gloucester for nearly 4 years - during this time I have had many young people try their hand at DJing... most find it much more difficult than they originally thought.

One young DJ has over the last 6 months shown serious interest & dedication which is essential for any young musician who wants to take their chosen discipline forward.  DJ Red Devil was entered for the Dubstep category of the B2B DJ Contest in Bristol organised by DJ Jagos in association with REMIX & Kiss 100.

Having been selected as the winner of his category, DJ Red Devil will be performing a set back 2 back with Joker at the New Generation Takeover, Colston Hall, Bristol this Saturday.

Over shadowed by A Rose...?

By now everyone who has atleast one eye on the popular media will by overly aware of Kanye 'doin it again' at the 2009 Video Music Awards last night - but what was the real reason for the outburst... did Kanye really feel that Beyonce had been cheated? Was he feeling the Hennessy too hard? Or was it an attempt, by a man with a notoriously giant ego, to compete with the undoubted attention that the lady on his arm was once again drawing...? 

Jay-Z back at the Garden...

If anyone has ever seen the docu-film Fade To Black you'll know this would be a hard one to follow but as a tribute to the events that occurred on the 11th September 2001 (9/11) in NYC Jay-Z came back to Madison Square Garden with a few friends to perform a benefit concert on behalf of New York Police and Fire Widows and Children's Benefit Fund.
