The Return of Mike-K

By Admin, 2012-08-23

As many of you know, Mike Kohlgraf has been on an extended leave from Mix Radio due to some health issues. Mike is planning on coming back on the air Saturday September 1st from 10PM EST until at least Midnight. Mike has a tendency to want to go longer but my hope is he limits his shows. It is an absolute honor having Mike back on the air. Kooder will be on before Mike and will continue doing the Mix Files which I personally have thoroughly enjoyed!  We have a great bunch of DJ's on Mixposure and I can't thank each of them enough. They dedicate countless hours to bring the best indie artists to the internet. So my thanks to each of you!Todd<img src="http://www.mixposure.com/banners/Logo_Lg_5.png" alt="" width="450" height="84" />

Ilia Darlin -

By ClaraTaDah, 2012-08-23

"Even When I lose"   The economic crisis in Greece has proved to be a source of inspiration for some upcoming Greek artists. Determined and passionate singer/songwriter Ilia Darlin from Piraeus, an urban area of Athens stands among them. Ilia's upheaval in the music scene has cast a new light on southern Europe as a breeding ground of pop music enthusiasts. Having travelled all over the world seeking references and inspiration, Ilia decided to drop anchor in London for a few years, where she worked with a number of writers and producers and refined her performance skills. Though her attachment towards her roots and origins eventually eclipsed, it dawned on her that she felt a need to tell a story through the filter of her native land, indubitably less idyllic yet sentimentally authentic and powerfully evocative.  Her first music video under EMI "Hit me", recorded in New York with producer Billy Mann is a powerful flow of images drawing on the Mediterranean subculture, with its bad teenage bikers, gaudy cemeteries and sex hotels. The title alone, one might assume, conveys a sharp message that strives to veer off from fixed aesthetics and contemporary musical frameworks, hailing from Greece to the rest of the world.  Her second single "Even when I lose" is set to be released in conjunction with the Greek elections in June 2012. This upbeat romanticised bitter-sweet pop has a powerful message not to be missed Make no mistake Ms Darlin is definitely one to watch in 2012. Sound Cloud <a href="http://soundcloud.com/ilia-darlin/even-when-i-lose">http://soundcloud.com/ilia-darlin/even-when-i-lose</a>Video  <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xri6yv_even-when-i-lose-i-m-winning-ilia-darlin-official-videoclip_music" target="_blank">http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xri6yv_even-when-i-lose-i-m-winning-ilia-darlin-official-videoclip_music</a>   For more information please contact Vicky Berry on <a href="mailto:vicky@quitegreat.co.uk">vicky@quitegreat.co.uk</a> and Sibel Arzulu on <a href="mailto:publicity3@quitegreat.co.uk">publicity3@quitegreat.co.uk</a> 01223 844440    SOME INFO ON ILIA DARLIN:<ul><li>POP JUSTICE link HYPERLINK "<a href="http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5981&Itemid=9">http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5981&Itemid=9</a>" t "_blank"http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5981&Itemid=9</li><li>POP TRASH ADDICTS link HYPERLINK "<a href="http://www.poptrashaddicts.blogspot.com/2012/01/ilia-darlin-returns-with-hit-me.html">http://www.poptrashaddicts.blogspot.com/2012/01/ilia-darlin-returns-with-hit-me.html</a>" t "_blank"http://www.poptrashaddicts.blogspot.com/2012/01/ilia-darlin-returns-with-hit-me.html</li><li>HYPERLINK "<a href="http://2020k.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/ilia-darlin-releases-hit-me-video/">http://2020k.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/ilia-darlin-releases-hit-me-video/</a>" t "_blank"2020k.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/ilia-darlin-releases-hit-me-video/</li><li>HYPERLINK "<a href="http://europopped.com/iliadarlin-releases-hot-hit-me-video">http://europopped.com/iliadarlin-releases-hot-hit-me-video</a>" t "_blank"europopped.com/iliadarlin-releases-hot-hit-me-video</li><li>HYPERLINK "<a href="http://mp4-video.ru/news/ilia_darlin_hit_me_2012_mp4/2012-01-23-24369">http://mp4-video.ru/news/ilia_darlin_hit_me_2012_mp4/2012-01-23-24369</a>" t "_blank"http://mp4-video.ru/news/ilia_darlin_hit_me_2012_mp4/2012-01-23-24369</li></ul> Quotes:Super Super Magazine: "the most inspiring thing to come from Mount Olympus since the muses"Pop Trash Addicts: "Don't mess with this bitch!  "Car Crash" is a great pop song. ......I'm in love!"Greek Reporter L.A : "Possessing a larger-than-life stage presence"Muumuse : "MEAT YOUR MAKER: INTRODUCING.ILIA DARLIN! a space-pop bombshell from Greece" website: HYPERLINK "<a href="http://www.iliadarlin.com/">http://www.iliadarlin.com</a>" t "_blank"www.iliadarlin.commyspace : HYPERLINK "<a href="http://www.myspace.com/iliadarlin">http://www.myspace.com/iliadarlin</a>" t "_blank"http://www.myspace.com/iliadarlinfacebook: HYPERLINK "<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ilia-Darlin/122103731135818">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ilia-Darlin/122103731135818</a>" t "_blank"http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ilia-Darlin/122103731135818twitter: HYPERLINK "<a href="http://www.twitter.com/iliadarlin">http://www.twitter.com/iliadarlin</a>" t "_blank"www.twitter.com/iliadarlinflickr: HYPERLINK "<a href="http://www.flickr.com/iliadarlin">http://www.flickr.com/iliadarlin</a>" t "_blank"www.flickr.com/iliadarlin

11:11 London Calling

By ClaraTaDah, 2012-08-23

‘London Calling (again)’ out September 17th!11:11 are Matt McHugh and Sam Fino who sing, write and produce all their own music.The fantastic duo were talking about the upcoming Olympic Games and began reminiscing about how much fun they had on their travels to London. After a short jam the duo had created what would later become “London Calling (again)”. The song is an upbeat party anthem designed to capture the spirit of London. The track’s main inspiration is the buzz of stepping out on the London city streets, forgetting all inhibitions and getting into the party spirit.Originally meeting in high school the boy’s main inspiration for song writing began when they started falling for the same girl! Years later and after discovering their shared interests the boys decided to come together to form 11:11. The name 11:11 symbolises mystical powers and phenomena in world events - a perfect representation for of how the lads met. This infectious upbeat song really gets you in the spirit of hitting the clubs and loving life to the fullest and has great success on Youtube with over 100,000 already! “Writing and recording this track was a great experience because we had the opportunity to go on a journey and re-live our trips to London and re-visit the energy that the city has. Even if you’ve never been to London, or you’ve always wanted to go to London, this recording will take you on a trip there, and back again – it really shines through musically and lyrically” – Co-writer Sam FinoIdentifiably the work of two artists who have mastered the balance of serious production and light hearted themes, ‘London Calling (again)’ is a hard driving, catchy, ‘live it up and party till you drop’ club banger.“We like to write about everyday things – that’s what makes this song in particular so accessible to a wider audience. We can’t all be in London at the same time, but we can all get together and celebrate how awesome the city is! This song is an attempt to catch a bit of electricity in 3:30 seconds”, says MattFor the latest news and media: <a href="http://www.elevenelevenproducers.com/" target="_blank">www.elevenelevenproducers.com</a>Media/business enquiries: <a href="mailto:management@elevenelevenproducers.com" target="_blank">mailto:management@elevenelevenproducers.com</a>For more information or interview availability please contact Sibel Arzulu <a href="mailto:publicity3@quitegreat.co.uk" target="_blank">publicity3@quitegreat.co.uk</a>

Growing up in a Nordic country, and seeing what was possible for women to achieve, has not only formed an essential part of my artistic perspective, but has informed my own personal commitment to women’s rights”, said Deeyah, ‘so the first release in this series had to be Nordic Woman.’    The ArtistsThe artists featured on the Nordic Woman album are Lena Willemark, Mari Boine, Annbjørg Lien, Bára Grímsdóttir, Tuva Livsdatter Syvertsen, Suden Aika, Valravn, Unni Løvlid, Kirsten Bråten Berg, Adjágas, Ragga Gröndal & The Icelandic Folk Ensemble, Phønix, MeNaiset, Garmarna, Heiða Árnadóttir, SUO, Ranarim and Tone Hulbækmo. Musical ActivismProduced in collaboration with Grappa Musikkforlag, the foremost independent music company in Norway, Nordic Woman is the debut production from Deeyah’s own Fuuse Mousiqi, a music company with a social conscience, borne out of the union of her two deepest passions – music and activism.  As well as being an acclaimed music producer, Deeyah is a prize-winning activist, well-known for her outspoken support for non-violence, women’s rights and freedom of expression.  A classically trained singer from the age of seven, Deeyah has since broadened her creative expression into film-making and digital media initiatives, all underwritten by a passionate commitment to human rights and social activism. ‘Women’s voices, and women’s experiences, remain crucial to the continued progression towards full equality in all societies. The WOMAN series is my way of honouring and celebrating women and a personal voyage through the indigenous and traditional music of their lands’ explains Deeyah. More information please contact Vicky Berry <a href="mailto:vicky@quitegreat.co.uk">vicky@quitegreat.co.uk</a> and Sibel Arzulu <a href="mailto:publicity3@quitegreat.co.uk">publicity3@quitegreat.co.uk</a>01223844440 www.deeyah.comwww.grappa.no<a href="http://www.fuuse-mousiqi.com/">www.fuuse-mousiqi.com</a>
