2 TALL PRESENTS DUDLEY PERKINS & GEORGIA ANNE MULDROW "BEAUTIFUL MINDZ" IN STORES JUNE 12th 2007

Recognized for releasing the Pro X Fade advanced cross fader technology (http://www.eclecticbreaks.com/proxfade) and promoting one of the largest club nights in the UK, the Eclectic Breaks label strikes once again forming an alliance with the independent hiphop distribution powerhouse, boutique label, & digital retailer; Amalgam Entertainment to unleash a new LP entirely produced by DJ 2tall featuring Dudley Perkins (aka Declaime) and Georgia Anne Muldrow on vocal duties. This is a unique UK/USA collaboration project that combines intelligent lyrics, free thinking, poetic verse and skilled studio productions, to result in an incredibly fresh, poignant and positive album.

The album's title 'Beautiful Mindz' is a message to the listeners that we are capable of much more than we think, and the project itself reflects that it's not difficult to put together a unique album of music with people from other parts of the planet. From their initial acquaintance to the albums completion, the whole experience was natural and organic as all great partnerships are.

Dudley Perkins is best known for his releases on US label Stones Throw Records, where he lends his unique voice to many of Madlib's productions. Highlights from his releases include the single 'Flowers' and album 'Expressions (2012 A.U.)', plus the album 'Illmindmuzik' as Declaime on Good Vibe Recordings. Georgia Anne Muldrow is also associated with Stones Throw, and is their only female signing. Noticed early on by fellow LA hip hop trendsetters Sa Ra, as well as Detroit's Platinum Pied Pipers, the buzz created saw her sound reach the airwaves of Worldwide with Gilles Peterson on the BBC, and to Peanut Butter Wolf, who signed her to a two-album deal on Stones Throw, where she recently released 'Olesi: Fragments Of An Earth'. Originally known for his accolades in the DJ championship world, where he took home the title of UK DMC Team Champions in 2003 with his crew the Trusicians, 2tall has been making a name for himself as a producer over the past few years. 'Beautiful Mindz' is the first ever project from these three combined talents.

Beautiful Mindz is Available Worldwide June 12th 2007 (Eclectic Breaks/Amalgam)

The Other Side - Los Angeles - Madlib

This new CD/DVD series from Time Out (of magazine and guidebook fame) takes artists/musicians/creatives from metro areas around the globe and has them act as tour guides for the "other side" of their city - the cool/interesting/weird establishments they frequent in their actual lives." - Fader

"Pop this in your suitcase along with your translation book and currency converter and you'll be good to go." - Tokion

"These are insights so intimate that residents of the cities profiled might actually get defensive over the exposure of their hitherto secret spots." - Nylon

On April 10th, Time Out and Deaf Dumb & Blind Recordings release Madlib - The Other Side Los Angeles. The fifth installment in the Other Side series features critically acclaimed rapper/producer Madlib's personal audio tour of the City of Angels. Highlights of this genre-bending mix include the eclectic/outrageous jazz consciousness originator - Sun Ra Arkestra, 60's psychedelic blues quintet Outlaw Blues Band, legendary reggae drummer (Burning Spear) Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, Jamaican record label head/DJ Producer Prince Jazzbo, and Madlib's own tunes- as Beat Konducta (solo) & with collaborator Jaydee (Jaylib).

On The Other Side Los Angeles DVD, Stone's Throw label supremo Peanut Butter Wolf is your personal guide to LA's sights, sites and sounds. The DVD also features an in-depth interview with Peanut Butter Wolf on 10 years of Stone's Throw as well as videos from several Stone's Throw artists.

From the unlikely beach town of Oxnard, 40 miles north of Los Angeles, the multi-dimensional Madlib quickly rose to prominence as one of the most interesting figures in late-'90s hip-hop. With his childhood buddies in the Lootpack, Madlib quickly made a name for himself as a rapper, producer, and DJ. In particular, his expansive style and deft touch for composition made him one of hip-hop's most sought-after producers. An enthusiastic crate digger, with a deep reverence for jazz and soul, Madlib branched out into a number of ambitious, engaging solo projects.

With the Other Side, a new generation of immersive travel guide is upon us. Deaf Dumb & Blind Communications, a new progressive and multi-faceted entertainment company, teams up with internationally recognized travel guidebook and weekly magazine publisher Time Out to produce a series called The Other Side - an CD/DVD experience that submerses its listeners/viewers entirely below the city's surface.

Each volume of The Other Side boasts two key elements: a mixed CD compiled by a native audio pioneer and a DVD guide that acts as a visual handbook for both the seasoned traveler and armchair adventurer alike. While some travel guides aim to be comprehensive, The Other Side isn't concerned. It simply wants its user to enjoy and discover the very best and coolest in sight and sounds. It whispers in the user's ear advice on where to go and what to see - and it does it with unprecedented style and flair.

That's why Time Out is a perfect match for Deaf Dumb & Blind's concept. According to Peter Fiennes, Editorial/Managing Director of Time Out Guides, "We're extremely happy to be working with The Other Side and Deaf Dumb & Blind on this exciting new concept. We've always been keen to expand into music, CDs and travel on DVD, but The Other Side gives us the chance to do it all at the same time. The Other Side has lined up some great artists and we're convinced this will be a very successful and ground-breaking project."

Who Is Joy Denalane?

...and more to the point, why am I only just finding out about her??! Guess I'm behind the times on this one...Anyway I just discovered her via EMusic and am loving what I found out is her first English-language album "Born And Raised". The album features tracks with Lupe Fiasco and Raekwon and overall it's a really solid soul album. Not only does she have vocal skills but she also has some positive messages to share, so defintely give this one a listen. The ever on-point Honey Soul has an interview with Joy where you can find out more info about this German soulstress.
Also check out her Myspace page as well as OkayPlayer for more info. I definitely look forward to hearing more from Joy and hope that she can make further headway into the US market.

Victor Bermon "Arriving At Night" (Hefty Records)

If anyone knows soulful, glitchy, melodic downtempo, its Hefty. Home of Eliot Lipp and Telefon Tel Aviv, their most recent release comes from Victor Bermon. Arriving At Night is quite beautiful and simultaneously confounding to describe. With beats that at times manage to reference both sparse "post-techno" as well as jazzy gems unearthed in dusty crates, Bermon envelops everything in warm melodies and acoustic accents. You can preview all the tracks on the Hefty site and it definitely sounds like an accomplished album from start to finish.
