A few years ago I met up with Tina Sugandh for the first time in NYC; at that time she was in the middle of some negotiations with a record label.  At our first meeting we talked about her musical style and career goals; she's a really personable and honest girl who's grown up around music (her parents are musicians) and has been performing since before she was a teen!  Her debut album was expected for release just months after that meeting but it got delayed due to issues with her label. more »

Chill Om Records has just released some material from their back catalog.  Its an album called 'Nirvaan' and was produced by Tatva Kundalini - a group we featured both on our Indian Electronica volume 1 compilation (which you can buy here on the site) as well as at our 2007 Festival installment in Mumbai.

The album is pretty mellow; think background music for yoga.

These great tunes are available for free for a limited time using this link so be sure to grab em while you can:

Beatport's got another remix competition underway - this time with Danny Tenaglia's classic 'Music is the Answer' track!  Twisted Records has released the piano and vocal for free download from Beatport and you can pay a couple bucks to get more parts if you wish.

I'll be remixing this one in the next couple of days and giving it some afro-breaks treatment; stay tuned for the download link!  If any of you also whip something up, comment with a link so we ca more »

For a few years now, Six Degrees Records has spread its musical love around the world through not only releasing tunes on their imprint but supporting regular club events around North America.  Their sponsored series of 'Six Degrees Nights' were held in cities like New York, San Fancisco, Seattle, Detroit and Toronto.

Actually, our own Dishoom monthly here in Toronto was the official Six Degrees Night in the city... more »

All you producers who haven't checked in with Sony in a while - it seems they've been focusing a little more in recent years on digital music production (re: buying Sonic Foundry - makers of Acid and Soundforge).

I haven't checked out their Loops but a sale's on that I thought to twig you all onto: 25% off for a limited time @ their online store...

I haven't watched this yet, but wanted to give everyone a heads-up that Kush Arora's been interviewed by Imaginasian.tv and the clip's online.

Kush is a pretty groovy dubstep producer based in San Fran whom I recently got some words from for an interview on the dubstep scene - which will be online next week and in the next issue of the IE newsletter.

I just saw mention on Beatport that world-famous producer and dj Sasha is offering up parts for a new track to be remixed by anyone and everyone to be possibly included in a release from emFire.

The winner also gets themselves a copy of Ableton 7 to help their remix career go even further and gets an interview on Beatportal itself. more »

I had the pleasure of having a chat recently with the CBC's Wojtek Gwiazda for their Indo-Canadian Report; a show heard Wednesdays to Fridays across India! The interview aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation/ Radio Canada International yesterday afternoon and the audio clip can be streamed on demand from their website - we'll have it on IE in the next few days as well.

Here's some info from their site:
