promo packshot
Artist: Noiseshaper
Title: King Size Dub Special
Label: Echo Beach
Release Date : May 31
Cat: Echo Beach CD 139

The sound company operating under the project name “Noiseshaper“ is poised to release the KING SIZE DUB – special - album into record shops worldwide. 

The band received great acclaim for their first albums, which were released on the legendary and infamous Rockers Hifi label Different Drummer. They later became celebrated for their musical contribution to the US television series CSI: Miami. The Viennese coffeetable boys Axel Hirn und Florian Fleischmann achieved cult status with their 12-inch single “The Only Redeemer“, which was later released in the US by Quango (Island Records /Palm Pictures) and fast became a permanent fixture on the playlists of the best and most popular DJs in Berlin, Vienna, Tokyo, Paris, London and New York. The next dancefloor filler followed with “All A Dem A Do“, sung by Juggla, which was the band’s first release to get heavy rotation on many European and US radio stations. Next up were remixes by and for heavyweights such as Sly & Robbie, Outkast, Seven Dub and Carl Douglas.

Noiseshaper’s defining sound has been distilled and condensed an utterly distinctive blend of “housey downbeats with a fat reggae flavour” has brought the Noiseshapers international acclaim and popularity. 

The KING SIZE DUB Special is the essential of what NOISESHAPER has ever done and is another impressive display of how a musical style has progressed. Dub as a style with all its reference points between commerce and innovation ! 15 pounding dub flavour tunes all are best for bringing the dancefloors of the dub universe to boiling point. Heavy bass for heavy dancing!

Universal Music Group Challenges D-Town Records and Keristene Music for rights to their 50 year old Song

APACHE JUNCTION AZ (IFS) -- When does a public domain song from the 1800s is claimed by UMG as their ownership and restricts the original record producer and publishing company who released it and their arrangement of the song that was a Smash hit recording in 1960 and beyond, except when they want to push over the original record company and take their creations..

With the great success of the Staple Singers, with "Let's Do It Again", still the biggest selling record in Warner Bros history, everything that the Staple Singers recorded started jumping off the charts.  With the internet, Staple Singers songs have been downloaded and shared more than 12.5 Million times.  

D-Town Records then president and producer Kenneth Howard Smith, remixed and digitally remastered the single in 1983, with subsequence releases to the internet over the years.  This arrangement of "Tell Him What You Want" is published by Keristene Music, Ltd. (BMI).

SDC OmniMedia Group still has a five (5%) percent stake in the D-Town Records properties which is under the control of Uarda Hanks-Njie who is currently its new and old owners, as D-Town was created by Mike Hanks and Carmen C. Murphy of the House of Beauty (HOB Records) when she had the only AFTRA license in the whole city of Detroit.  If you wanted to get your record pressed in the old days, Ms. Murphy has the only license at that time and all of them came to her for press rights.

To obtain an AFTRA Licenses in the early 1950s cost approximately, $10,000.  In today's money, that's more than $120,000.  Nobody had that kind of money, except Ms. Murphy who made her fortune in the African American Cosmetics industry with her invention of the natural hair relaxer.

This story is in Kenneth Howard Smith's book, "Vinyl Knights" and the movie script of "Tell Me Something Good" by Smith in the early 1980s.

Smith the former head of D-Town Records for over 35 years, and now its' administrative historian with a stake in the Detriot label, foresees a major court battle with Universal Music Group, as they attempt to erase the history of D-Town and lay claim to their works.

Out Today!

If you haven’t heard my new single, ‘Healing’ is out NOW!  It’s my first single on Ultra Music and I want to thank them for all the support they’ve given me – really exciting to finally be putting out some new music on such an iconic label.
---

Healing

“Healing’ is a very personal song. “Sometimes I have anxiety and self doubt and this is my story of deciding that I’ve given enough time to the negative voices in my head and I’m ready to be the person I choose to be.”
Really proud to say it’s been chosen to be Record of the Day today:  Click here
Think they like it… “Healing is an intimate and honest track, layered with soft instrumentals and breezy melodies, evoking the pop sensibilities of Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber at their finest. Perfect for new pop and mellow contextual playlists,”
Anyway, I really hope you like it. Please add to your playlists, like, share and all those good things if you do. Thanks! Here’s the link to Spotify, Apple, Amazon etc
Look out for the lyric video, which is coming sooooon!
Thanks for all your amazing support!
