The Ignorance Of the Common Record Label

I wish someone could explain to me why so much hidden talent slips through the visible musical spectrum and only to my welcoming eardrums via a Youtube broadcast. I tell you, the amount of music i have found through this medium alone is remarkable - so much so, I could probably start my own label known solely as The Hidden Gems.

Soul artists such as Vikter Duplaix and Frank McComb have only become apparent since my mum installed broadband wireless. Where are such talented individuals where MTV appearances are concerned? Why do Duplaix's silky vocals seldom grace my radio waves? This is all due to the lackluster efforts of their record labels. The pure ignorance of such talent really angers me, not to mention the countless lovers of pure and true music.

Was not too long ago when State Your Noize was just chilling, and we ended up having a massive discussion about music itself. Our love for music is undeniable, yet to become a success we concluded that the chances of 'making it' are slowly decreasing with the increased amount of illegal downloading. Music is, in the end, a business - the aim to make money and prosper. Yet how is this then possible if the average Joe Shmoe can download your latest track for nothing - after the endless hours spent by the artist in the studio.

In essence, the state of the music industry is similar to that of the credit crunch - in desperate need of a boost of some sort. I could go on for years, but my toast is getting cold and blogspot surely only allows a set value of writing

PEACE, LOVE & HAIR GREASE =]

Frankmusik's new album 'Complete Me'

Electro pop artist Frankmusik, is set to release his debut album, 'Complete Me' on August 8th.

Starting his musical career as a beatboxer aptly named Mr Mouth, this bright and bold talent has transferred his originality to the producers studio having already produced hits such as 'Better Off as Two' and '3 Little Words'.

Having previously heard these singles, I can't see why the album won't follow suit in being a stream of livewire electro-pop gems. A stunning collection of tracks showcases the sheer diversity of the young British talent. Released on July 13th, single 'Confusion Girl' has won some famous admirers. One time Neighbours actress Holly Valance appears in the video for the song, which could well become a summer anthem.

Frankmusik is set to release his debut album 'Complete Me' on July 27th. Tracklisting is as follows:

'In Step'
'Better Off As 2'
'Gotta Boyfriend?'
'Confusion Girl'
'Your Boy'
'When Your Around'
'3 Little Words'
'Wonder Woman'
'Complete Me'
'Vacant Heart'
'Time Will Tell'
'Done Done'
'Run Away From Trouble'
'Olivia' (hidden track, on physical copies only)

BE SURE TO BUY THE ALBUM!

Lovebox - London Weekender

Its that time of year again. Our mediocre summer brings with it a shedload of local events and festivals, not least the Lovebox: London Weekender, which is ironically on my doorstep @ Victoria Park. The event, taking place next weekend, hosts an impressive roster of well-known and upcoming artists - all intent on welcoming summer into our lives. Already confirmed artists include:

Alan Pownall, Andy Butler (Hercules & Love Affair) DJ Set , Annie Nightingale, Au Revoir Simone,  Bill Brewster & Frank Broughton (DJ History/Lowlife), Black Joe Lewis, Bombay Bicycle Club, Chairlift, Chew Lips, Chipmunk, Daisy O'Dell (VIP only), Dan Black, Dananananaykroyd, David Shrigley, Datarock, Diplo, Disco Bloodbath, DJ Sneak, Doves, Drums Of Death, Duran Duran, Fenech-Soler, Filthy Luka AKA Luke Howard, Florence And The Machine,  Fontan, Friendly Fires, Frankmusik, Gang Of Four, Gary Numan, Giles Smith, Groove Armada, Gruff Rhys, Hip-Hop Karaoke, Horse Meat Disco, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Idjut Boys,  James Priestley, Jazzie B, Joakim, Joey Negro (VIP only), Johnny D, Justin Robertson, Ladyhawke, Late Night Audio, Lightspeed Champion, Magistrates, Matt Berry, MPHO,  Mr Hudson, N*E*R*D, New York Dolls, Nextmen (VIP only), Nisennenmondai, Noah & The Whale, Norman Jay M.B.E (VIP only), Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, Richard Norris (Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve), Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Rokia Traore, The Rumble Strips, secretsundaze, Severino, Simian Mobile Disco, Stuart Patterson & Leo Elstob (Soulsonic /Faith)(VIP only), Swimming, Temper Trap, The Death Set, The Emperor Machine, The Jive Aces, The RGBs, The Twelves, Tom Maddicott, Tommy Reilly, VV Brown, Wave Machines, X-Press 2, Young Fathers PLUS MORE TBA

Now it's a REAL shame that I won't be able to make it there. No matter how close it is. At a price of around £50 for just one of the two alloted days, my money-less student pockets are unable to expend that amount. Nevertheless, I will still probably be able to hear most of the tunes from my bedroom window - having my own shubz without permitted entry LOL.

If you do have the money, make sure to purchase a ticket and in particular support our UK artists (especially Chipmunk);

Kanye West: Revolutionary Hip-Hop or Regular Flip Flop?

Kanye West's 808 & Heartbreak introduced a new breed of hip-hop - using the somewhat prehistoric sounds of the 808 kick throughout the whole album may have lost him a few hardcore fans; but I can see his motive.

Like I mentioned in an earlier post, hip-hop does not really interest me any more. I'd rather listen to a bit of Pendulum or Frankmusik or sumpm. But that album brought with it a new perspective of the genre, a breath of fresh air that was needed. In that sense, I really respect West and his ability to manipulate them old school sounds into something good.

But, WHY USE AUTOTUNE?!?!?!

That thing just pisses me off whenever its used inappropriately. You can make a hit album without the use of that mechanical device; you'd never hear CL Smooth using a vocoder of any sort, so why now?

Make your decision...
