NINA Announces BEYOND MEMORY EP - Set for Release May 27th on Aztec Records

Currently in the studio with acclaimed producer Richard X (Goldfrapp, Erasure, New Order, Lana del Rey, Kylie Minogue), synthwave singer/songwriter NINA is ready to give listeners a taste of that collaboration with the release of BEYOND MEMORY EP on May 27, 2016 via Aztec Records.

Drawing influences from the likes of Com Truise, Kavinsky and Lana Del Rey amongst others, "Beyond Memory" once again mesmerizes the listener with her rich, silky vocals and New Wave-influenced cinematic analogue synthwork which Pitchfork once perfectly described as "radiant vocals, cast in a shadowy, distant vibe with bright, oscillating synth work that isn't a million miles away from Chvrches ' own Depeche Mode-isms."

“I'm very excited to have Richard X producing and curating my new release,” says NINA about her collaboration with the renowned producer. “He is very selective, so I'm humbled to have him on board. He totally gets my vision and my sound. These songs are very close to me, as it was a long creative process to get them how I wanted them, and I opened up to write very personal lyrics.”

On a rapid trajectory up, NINA has garnered previous support and plaudits from the likes of Pitchfork, Huffington Post, MTV, Hillydilly, and Earmilk. In 2015, she toured the East Coast with Erasure, garnering even more praise from Miami New Times, WeLoveDC, The Vinyl District, among others.

Hailing from Berlin’s bohemian district Neukölln, NINA began singing at the age of six and moved on to classical training during her teens. Her debut release, We Are The Wild Ones (2013), garnered great media attention. The track was used in SyFy’s supernatural hit TV series Being Human (Season 4), which exposed her music to millions of viewers. The official video for “We Are the Wild Ones” highlighted and premiered by Huffington Post who called the video "hauntingly stylish and sleek like the NINA's chanteuse-esque vocals." NINA’s second single "My Mistake" (2014), was included in HUGO BOSS’ 20 Years Co mpilation available at all HUGO BOSS stores worldwide. In addition, Mercedes Benz featured that same song on their European TV and radio ads, which were also broadcast in stadiums around Europe.

As she works diligently to complete her debut album with Richard X, 2016 is already set to push her even farther into the spotlight and deeper into international territory. Preselected for the 2016 MIDEM Artist Accelerator program, NINA will be performing at Canadian Music Week in May and before she heads off on another tour supporting German act DE/VISION in October. U.S. dates are currently in the works.

NINA’s BEYOND MEMORY EP will be released on May 27, 2016 via Aztec Records.

The Mission announce 3 more UK shows for 2016 30th Anniversary Tour

2016 sees The Mission celebrating 30 years since they first set foot on the stage at the intimate Alice In Wonderland club in London on January 20th 1986.

To celebrate The Mission set out on their most extensive and ambitious tour since they reformed in 2011, to coincide they will release a brand new studio album. Due to popular demand The Mission have added three further shows to the tour in November - 3rd Leeds O2 Academy, 4th London O2 Forum Kentish Town and 6th Birmingham O2 Institute.

The 30th anniversary tour starts in Dublin on October 1st and includes the Whitby Goth Weekend on November 5th.

Wayne Hussey exclaimed ’30 bloody years! Who would’ve thought it, eh? As we were well renowned for our, ahem, lifestyle choices, shall we say, I remember Melody Maker ran an office pool betting which member of The Mission would die first. I seem to remember Mick was the favourite with yours truly running a close 2nd. Well, we’re still here, alive and well and still going strong. It seems to me that anyone who survives past the age of 50 in this business these days is given honorary legendary status. It’s cheaply given, in my opinion, but we’ll take it.

I seriously never thought I’d see this day but 30 years is a remarkable achievement. Not one we could have achieved without the support and patronage of our brilliant audience. This celebration is for them as much as it is for our retirement funds.”

With the original members Wayne Hussey, Craig Adams and Simon Hinkler being joined by new drummer Mike Kelly in 2011 and armed by one of the most rabid fan bases in the world The Mission have continued to excite the legions with a slew of successful shows and tours. The Mission has sold in excess of 4 million of their previous 13 studio albums and attendant singles, compilations and live albums. They have garnered headlines in the worlds music press and not always for the quality and strength of their music.

However, with a new studio album planned and this extensive tour The Mission enter their 4th decade in the rudest of health.

STEVE 'N' SEAGULLS RETURN TO THE UK NOVEMBER 2016

The greatest stories ever told have a tendency to start in a stable, and so it is with Steve ‘n’ Seagulls, the ‘Barnyard Boogiemen’ from rural Finland…

Not only are the five musicians a genuine YouTube sensation, notching up tens of millions of views, they have also taken their ‘badass bluegrass’ all over the world, showing that skilful re-workings of some of metal’s finest moments (all given the band’s signature red-neck stamp) can work extremely well both live and on record.

The latest / second ’S 'n’ S’ album (title tbc) is set to be released later this year via Spinefarm Records; the follow-up to 2015’s ‘Farm Machine’, also issued on Spinefarm, it will see these sons of the soil delving into the world of original material for the first time, although the majority of the tracks will continue to be covers of rock & metal classics.

The headline tour in support of the second album runs as follows:

14-Nov Brighton, Haunt 15-Nov London, Bush Hall 16-Nov Cardiff, Globe 17-Nov Glasgow, Cathouse 18-Nov Manchester, Deaf Institute

Never Mind The Bullocks. Let the bluegrass metal mayhem continue!

ENTERTAINMENT ONE AND SECRET LOCATION TEAM UP TO CREATE NEW MUSIC PLATFORM “FLOODLIGHT”

WITH ROCK HITMAKERS POP EVIL OFFERING EXCLUSIVE 3D VIRTUAL REALITY VIDEO WITH PURCHASED BUNDLE TO FANS

New York, NY – April 25, 2016 – In its commitment to reaching next-gen music fans, Entertainment One (eOne) has partnered with Secret Location to create FLOODLIGHT, a platform designed to enhance and extend the music fan experience across multiple platforms.

FLOODLIGHT will bring audiences closer to their favorite eOne music artists with exclusive content and unique one-time experiences, delivered directly by the artists.

eOne also confirmed the first offering on the FLOODLIGHT platform will be an exclusive 3D virtual reality video for the song “Take it All” by rock hit makers Pop Evil. Pop Evil has sold 1.3 million singles to date, and its current album “Up” has debuted at #1 on the Billboard Independent Chart, with 14 million streams to date.

Chris Taylor, President of eOne Music Global, comments, “We’re thrilled to partner with Secret Location to make the music fan experience more immersive. It’s exciting to kick Floodlight off with Pop Evil and we are looking forward to working with our talented artists to deliver the music experience to fans in new and innovative ways.”

James Milward, Founder & Executive Producer of Secret Location, adds, “More and more the institutional walls are breaking down, creating a direct connection between artist and fan, whether it’s through social media, live shows, product collaborations or content. Floodlight provides a simple and scalable way to connect these communities, enabling extraordinary value for fans, and monetizing that connection for artists.”

FLOODLIGHT will be available publicly via www.popevil.floodlight.media.

The video for Pop Evil’s “Take It All” was shot at the 2015 Aftershock Festival, using two 360 / 3D camera rigs that captured every angle of the event in 3D. The footage was edited and stitched together to create an immersive virtual reality music video. When fans put on a headset they find themselves on the stage, above the crowed and inside the music. Pop Evil VR is designed to immerse fans in the energy of the band and provide the ultimate concert experience.

Leigh Kakaty, lead singer of Pop Evil, says, “There's nothing more exciting than being able to bring Virtual Reality to our fans. It was an honor to team up with Secret Location and film our set at Aftershock 2015 in Sacramento, California. To be one of the first to make an actual live performance Virtual Reality Music Video is an incredible thing to be a part of. I can’t wait for our fans to experience this, and we hope to make new fans with this new technology.”

Beginning today, fans will be able to preorder an exclusive bundle for $29.99. The bundle will include a Pop Evil branded Google Cardboard 3D viewer, a Pop Evil 360 APP, an autographed CD and a Pop Evil t-shirt, previously unavailable for online purchase. The video can then be viewed on the APP with the viewer beginning on May 27, 2016. The VR app will also be available for independent download from the App Store and Google Play.
