ST HOLDINGS REMOVES ALL CONTENT FROM SPOTIFY....

2011-11-16T11:08:00.000-08:00

Removal of content from Spotify, Simfy, Rdio & Napster.
STHoldings can confirm that we have taken the decision to remove all STHoldings distributed content from the following music services, Spotify, Simfy, Rdio & Napster.

Despite these services offering promotion to many millions of music listeners we have concerns that these services cannibalise the revenues of more traditional digital services. These concerns are confirmed in our own accounts and a recent study by NPD Group and NARM

As a distributor we have to do what is best for our labels. The majority of which do not want their music on such services because of the poor revenues and the detrimental affect on sales. Add to that, the feeling that their music looses it’s specialness by it’s exploitation as a low value/free commodity. Quoting one of our labels “Let’s keep the music special, fuck Spotify”

All the labels we represent have been given the choice to have their music to Spotify, Simfy, Rdio & Napster. As of today (16.11.11) from the 238 labels we distribute, 4 have expressed that they would like to be on these services.

BAY B KANE: KMAG INTERVIEW

2011-07-21T08:28:00.001-07:00

In jungle's golden era Bay B Kane and his myriad aliases produced and released some of the best beats of the time on some of the best labels. '95 saw him take a back seat and after a lull in output he bounced back with a new LP in 2010.

Since then he's released the Brick Jungle LP in April on Armageddon Beats and this month sees the release of his latest LP, Jungle Love, on Junglist Manifesto Recordings. Not too many producers return after such a long break, especially with an LP as strong as this one. I've heard Jungle Love and lemme tell you, if golden era jungle with a 2011 twist is your thing, this album will bust your head right open. BBK shares his thoughts on love, life, beats and bass.

You were away for quite a while, why the huge lapse?
My last release was in 1995 but I didn't actually leave the scene until the spring of 1997. As for the huge lapse, it was mainly due to me wanting to move forwards with other aspects of my life, especially as I had a young family at the time. Not only that, but I was also feeling somewhat disillusioned with the whole scene at the time. It was very divided, with "ragga jungle" on one side and "intelligent" on the other which I always felt was very damaging for the scene.

So I went back to education and managed to get myself an honours degree in Computing & Information Systems at London Metropolitan University. Of course this didn't happen overnight but on and off over a period of five years or so. Of the 13 years that I was away from the music scene I spent 12 of them working in the field of computers and computer software development.

So, as I'm sure you would agree, I was quite busy with all the different aspects of life in general. Even so, I still had to resist the urge to go back and start making beats almost on a daily basis. After 12 years of that I just could not resist anymore and finally I returned to the studio in March 2010...

GRAND PRIZE WINNER "BAY B KANE - HAVE A BREAK" COMPETITION - CHILI BANKS!!!!!!!!

2011-06-05T04:05:00.000-07:00

I'd like to thank the academy... Seriously though I'm really happy that I won. I can't wait for the release of "London Gash". Big up to all the runners up and all the people who have made the "United Nations of Jungle" compilation. Big respect to Tykal, Armageddon Beats, Bay B Kane.

There were some huge tunes in there Nickynutz & J Bostron came storm troppin'. I'm looking forward to the vinyl being in my hands. Also looking forward to signing a contract with Armageddon Beats to see some future releases through them. It's good to see that real jungle is still alive and growing. I wanna give a special shout out to The Grimm Speaker for his tune which was a personal fave of mine.

Anyways here's the full breakdown... from Bay B Kane

"The winners of The BBK Have a Break Production Competition

are as follows...

The two runner up entries are:

J BOSTRON - Takeshi's Ruin

NICKY NUTZ - December Raindrops

It was an incredibly close thing between these two tracks J BOSTRON's track i feel captured the raw spirit within the precision edits of some of the sharpest tempered steel like Amens ever heard and i personally think its one of the best jungle tracks ive heard so far this year as it has just the right amount of each ingredient plus it is a very tasty blend of them all so very well done to J BOSTRON. Then there was another track which kept shining through at us like the North star & we just couldnt ignore it even if we wanted to the track im talking about of course is NICKY NUTZ's December Raindrops Which incidentally i personally heard around the end of last year for the first time and remember liking it very much then too but of course Emmett had never heard it until this competition moved over to SoundCloud never the less it was shining at him just as it was to me and it is a top notch tune by a top notch producer very well done to NICKY NUTZ.

Now we come to the Ultimate over all winner of this comp!

As funny or strange as it might sound to some myself & Emmett had no problem in choosing this track as the Ultimate winner because its just too good!
Also there really is nothing else quite like it in this competition...From the vocal samples to the chop suey drumz & deep heavy subs to us it stuck out like a thumbs up!And so a thumbs up was the only thing we could give this very out of the ordinary innovative & down right ground breaking track...So its a massive Brrrapp Brrrapp

Salute to the man like CHILI BANKS & his inspirational

track LONDON GASH.

This brings us to the final announcements... The tracks to be included on the compilation of the best of this competition (in no particular order) entitled: Bay B Kane Presents...THE UNITED NATIONS OF JUNGLE

2011-03-02T18:34:00.000-08:00

Very proud to announce that we've signed Bay B Kane to release his new album "Jungle Love" in the summer of 2011.

Bay B Kane began producing with Hip-Hop in 1986, and was quickly signed to T.U.F. Records where he began polishing his production craft. Flash to 3 years later he was hungry to really break through. BBK teamed up with Mr.E and started fusing Techno sounds with Breakbeats. The 2 formed "Break The Limits" & after a huge first release the duo got signed to XL Recordings.

In 1992 he launched Ruff Guidance Records & re-branded to who we now know as the legendary Bay B Kane! 1993 rolled in & BBK hooked up with Whitehouse Records. He released a slew of releases & did remixes for some of the biggest names in the history of Jungle. During this time he collaberated with the likes of PESHAY / MICKEY FINN / DARREN JAY / DJ TONIC(Para-T) / HOPPA / CHRIS ENERGY / LOXY / COOL HAND FLEX.... & released tunes under the monikers BAY B KANE / RINCA / ICON / KID THUNDER / INTELLIGENT JUNGLIST / DOUBLE TEE / MYSTRO / THE ROOD PROJECT / DARKENATOR.

During the period from 1989 to 1997 BBK released over 200 tracks on vinyl! After which he took a 13 year hiatus to get an Honors Degree at university, and move forward with other aspects of his life. In 2010 he decided to come back out of retirement. We are sure glad he did. BBK has joined us in 2011 to release his greatly anticipate, highly musical, smooth & hard album "Jungle Love".

BIG THINGS IN 2011! Welcome to the family Bay B Kane.

Wu-Tang Clan's RZA Breaks Down His Kung Fu Samples by Film and Song

2010-12-21T15:23:00.000-08:00

Kung-fu's influence on hip hop has been around since the '70s, when B-boys busted Bruce Lee moves while break-dancing. But in 1993, gritty rap supergroup the Wu-Tang Clan released Enter the Wu-Tang (36-Chambers), the first chart-topping album to kick up raw rhymes with dialog sampled from underground Hong Kong flicks. The Wu has since sold nearly 6 million albums, all featuring snippets from producer RZA's personal collection of action imports — which boasts more titles in the genre than the Library of Congress. "The people who made these movies didn't know how much one sentence could inspire," says RZA, who also scored Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill saga and other films. In December, the Clan's eight remaining members (RIP, ODB) reunite for their fifth release, The 8 Diagrams. RZA gave WIRED the dope on Wu-Tang's cinematic source material and sounded off on a selection of rare movie clips.

AN ARGUMENT AGAINST FAN FUNDING

2010-11-01T16:04:00.000-07:00

AN interesting article I stumbled upon... SOURCE

Let’s be honest. You don’t need the money.

Anyone can make a record for next to nothing these days. Almost any other hobby is more expensive: photography, mountain biking, even video gaming. When a teenager singing into a webcam gets exponentially more views on YouTube than your latest “professional” video, the answer isn’t more money.

You’re just not there yet.

(hey, don’t feel bad – I’m not either)

Tracking at Abbey Road Studios won’t get you there. Hiring T-Bone Burnett to mix your album won’t get you there. A full-day mastering session with Bob Ludwig won’t get you there. 10,000 pressed CDs with 18-page inserts won’t get you there. A $5,000 promotion budget won’t get you there either.

No matter how much money you throw at your project, we’re all limited by a stubborn principle called free market pricing. People are only willing to pay what a product is worth to them, not what it costs to produce. The intrinsic value of music is in free fall, and people won’t pay for it if they’re just not that into you.

So why are musicians flocking to fan funding (also known as “crowdfunding”) sites like Kickstarter, Sellaband, Slicethepie, PledgeMusic, and artistShare in droves?

My guess is that they figure “why not give it a shot”? Well, I’ll tell you why not, and offer a better option.

1. It’s dishonest. I’m simply not willing to pretend it costs thousands of dollars to put out an album. If you can’t sell 100 CDs at $10 to pay for replication, make CD-Rs at $2 a pop, produce them on-demand, or go digital-only. Effective promotion doesn’t necessarily come with a price tag. And really, why should your fans pay to promote something they already bought?
2. They own you. By entering into a partnership with your fans, you become accountable to them. Until you follow through on your promises, you no longer call the shots. As Hugh McLeod explains in Ignore Everybody, “The sovereignty you have over your work will inspire far more people than the actual content ever will. The best way to get approval is not to need it.” While some may actually like the added pressure, it comes with a loss of control.
3. You could fail. Publicly and humiliatingly. Everyone will get their money back while you walk away empty-handed. Your fans may conclude that either your goal was too ambitious, or just maybe, your music isn’t as good as they thought is was. Your failure functions as a reverse testimonial. And then what? Are you really going to dump the whole project? If not, why hold it hostage in the first place?

We’re all adults here, right? If your project is so promising and you can’t scrape together $1500 from your “real job,” you could always write up a business plan and get a loan from the bank. Then again, they may just chuckle and offer to raise the limit on your Visa.

Fortunately, there’s a way to reap all the benefits of fan funding with none of the downsides: take pre-orders.

You can still create tiers with personalized extras, like phone calls with the artist, studio attendance, or a custom song. If you accept payments directly, you earn an extra 10% that would otherwise go to a third party. You can create a plan that scales with your goals (“if we reach 100 pre-orders, I’ll press CDs and all digital album sales will include physical CDs as well”). Or you can wait to add tiers until you reach certain milestones, so you don’t promise anything you can’t deliver. Best of all, you’re not locked in to anything. You can adjust your approach as you go based on fan response.

Taking pre-orders puts free market pricing on your side, by allowing you to create only what you need to fulfill demand. Best of all, there’s no “goal” to reach, so you keep every dollar. Risk is no longer a factor.

SONY MDR-Z1000 HEADPHONES

2010-09-10T19:04:00.001-07:00

Since the end of the MDR-CD3000 several years ago, Sony has largely ignored the high-end closed headphone market and concentrated instead on their open and rather unusual looking SA headphone series. That's finally about to change with the release of the new MDR-Z1000, which is part of a launch of several new headphone models from Sony. The MDR-Z1000's design is quite conservative when compared to competitors from Denon or Audio-Technica which feature exotic wood baffles, but Sony has not skimped on materials. The ear cups are magnesium, and the headband is high quality metal.

The drivers are 50mm "HD" featuring liquid polymer diaphragms and neodymium magnets. Frequency response is rated at 5-80kHz, with a very low 24 Ohm impedance and high 108dB/mW sensitivity suggesting that the MDR-Z1000 has been designed to be driven straight from low power devices such as portable music players. The MDR-Z1000 should be available in November, priced around $740.

NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE HERCULES MK4

2010-05-14T05:52:00.000-07:00

In mid-January at the 2010 NAMM show, Hercules offered a sneak preview of its latest DJ controller. Today, at the Musikmesse European trade fair in Frankfurt, the manufacturer is pleased to announce the release date and retail price of its new Hercules DJ Console Mk4. This 2-deck portable DJ controller, featuring built-in audio, will be available in June 2010, at a suggested retail price of $199.99.

The Hercules DJ Console Mk4 is the most portable and most compact 2-deck DJ controller with built-in audio for PC and Mac®: just 26.5 x 18.7cm in size (10.4” x 7.3”) and weighing in at a mere 1.15kg (3.3lb), DJ Console Mk4 is the ideal controller for mobile DJs, wherever they are mixing.

In addition to its 2 stereo outputs (one for mixing, the other for previewing tracks), the Hercules DJ Console Mk4 also features 2 stereo audio inputs – unique in this product category – to connect any analog audio sources. It integrates perfectly into a DJ’s environment, whether he/she is just starting out or already at a professional level.

With the DJ Console Mk4, DJs can:
- Integrate analog audio into their digital mix
- Switch between mixing on their computer and mixing with standard DJ decks (CD or vinyl): using the DJ Console Mk4 and the included VirtualDJ® software, DJs can manipulate external audio sources just as they would with an analog mixing setup (the cross fader, volume faders and EQ knobs control mixing between the two external decks).

R.I.P. GURU: KING OF THE MONO TONE

2010-04-21T01:25:00.000-07:00

From DJ Premier's Blog

Guru has passed away yesterday morning (April 19) after a long battle with cancer.

According to Solar, Guru suffered from the malicious illness for over a year and after numerous special treatments under the supervision of medical specialists failed, the legendary MC succumbed to the disease. Guru always tried to keep this harrowing diagnosis in private but in early 2010 he had to admit himself to hospital due to serious effects caused by the disease.

Since the onset of illness, Guru tried to live a “normal” life as an influential and outstanding musician, loving father, family man, and best friend. Doctors encouraged Guru to think positive that the cancer can be arrested and that a full recovery is possible but several special treatments including hard hitting chemotherapies failed.

While in hospital with terminal cancer, Guru wrote a letter, which was provided by Solar, to his fans addressing his illness, his shining music career, his family and loved ones.

“I, Guru, am writing this letter to my fans, friends and loved ones around the world. I have had a long battle with cancer and have succumbed to the disease. I have suffered with this illness for over a year. I have exhausted all medical options. I have a non-profit organization called Each One Counts dedicated to carrying on my charitable work on behalf of abused and disadvantaged children from around the world and also to educate and research a cure for this terrible disease that took my life. I write this with tears in my eyes, not of sorrow but of joy for what a wonderful life I have enjoyed and how many great people I have had the pleasure of meeting,” read the official Guru statement.

“My loyal best friend, partner and brother, Solar, has been at my side through it all and has been made my health proxy by myself on all matters relating to myself. He has been with me by my side on my many hospital stays, operations, doctors visits and stayed with me at my home and cared for me when I could not care for myself. Solar and his family is my family and I love them dearly and I expect my family, friends, and fans to respect that, regardless to anybody’s feelings on the matter. It is my wish that counts. This being said I am survived by the love of my life, my sun KC, who I trust will be looked after by Solar and his family as their own. Any awards or tributes should be accepted, organized approved by Solar on behalf myself and my son until he is of age to except on his own.”

The statement reads on, “I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events tributes etc. connected in anyway to my situation including any use of my name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce this. I had nothing to do with him in life for over 7 years and want nothing to do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ. As the sole founder of GangStarr, I am very proud of what GangStarr has meant to the music world and fans. I equally am proud of my Jazzmatazz series and as the father of Hip-Hop/Jazz. I am most proud of my leadership and pioneering efforts on Jazzmatazz 4 for reinvigorating the Hip-Hop/Jazz genre in a time when music quality has reached an all time low. Solar and I have toured in places that I have never been before with GangStarr or Jazzmatatazz and we gained a reputation for being the best on the planet at Hip-Hop/Jazz, as well as the biggest and most influential Hip-Hop/Jazz record with Jazzmatazz 4 of the decade to now. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time. And we as a team were not afraid to push the envelope. To me this is what true artists do! As men of honor we stood tall in the face of small mindedness, greed, and ignorance. As we fought for music and integrity at the cost of not earning millions and for this I will always be happy and proud, and would like to thank the million fans who have seen us perform over the years from all over the world. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time and is my most creative and experimental to date. I hope that our music will receive the attention it deserves as it is some of the best work I have done and represents some of the best years of my life.”

Guru, born Keith Elam, rose to fame in the 80’s as the founder of the legendary rap group GangStarr. The group released the classic single Words I Manifest followed by their critically acclaimed debut album No More Mr. Nice Guy (1989) and the classic album Step In The Arena (1991). Guru was the first artist to truly blend Hip-Hop with Live Jazz beginning in 1993, and seeing the vast influences his Jazzmatazz concept has had on the industry, it is clear that Guru’s musical contributions have been way ahead of their time. Guru has worked with such great artists as Herbie Hancock, Isaac Hayes, Donald Byrd, Ramsey Lewis, Roy Ayers, Chaka Kahn, Branford Marsalis, David Sanborn, Bob James, Erykah Badu, The Roots, Common, Angie Stone, Jamiroquai, Macy Gray and Damien Marley, to name a few. Despite the fact that Guru isn’t hailing from New York, he is noted as a pioneer of the New York sound and true lyrical Hip-Hop. Guru later on joined forces with hit producer Solar and formed his label 7 Grand Records with the goal to keep “real” Hip-Hop alive.

Guru’s longtime partner, Solar, issues an official statement about the lost of the legendary MC which you can read below:

“The world has lost one of the best MCs and Hip-Hop icons of all time — my loyal best friend, partner, and brother, Guru! Guru has been battling cancer for well over a year and has lost his battle! This is a matter that Guru wanted private until he could beat it but tragically this did not happen. The cancer took him. Now the world has lost a great man and a true genius. For the fans that reached out with love and support, I can’t tell you how much that meant to Guru and myself. Guru prepared this letter [read above] while he was in the hospital for the fans. I hope now that Guru has moved on to a better place! Guru is a great Black American Hero and should always be remembered as such and he is much more that just a Hip-Hop icon — he has changed the world for the better. I salute my fallen brother Guru! He will be missed tremendously!” Solar stated.

We will sorely miss Guru, both from a personal and from a professional standpoint. Our warmest condolences to Guru’s family and loved ones at this difficult time.

This letter is way outta hand. Pure scandalous. C’mon, this isn’t Guru who wrote this letter. Still questioning if he really got outta coma in the first place? Why the fuck did nobody stopped that dude??? I’m stuck with mix feelings, sorry. Hard to accept, R.I.P. to the man who marked 90s hip hop. R.I.P. Guru, what’s going to happen? He will be remembered for ever and ever!! DJ Premier, hold your head up for real. My condolences to his family and friends. Out of respect and mourning I’ll stop posting until this saturday (unless DJ Premier talks).

Canadian Drum and Bass will never be the same...

Stride recordings is a fresh new drum’n'bass label based out of Toronto, Canada, boasting original cutting edge production from some of the most diverse and talented artists this side of the Atlantic. Not your typical digital label, the primary long term goal of Stride is to expose the rest of the world to some of the most promising up & coming acts to emerge from Canada in quite some time.
One unique aspect of Stride Recordings is its lack of borders and walls when it comes to the genres that embody the label. From smooth liquid rollers to dancefloor smashing jump up, from the dark and techy to the minimal and funky, Stride offers up two guarantees with each release: quality and diversity. The label was founded in 2009 by Toronto-based DJ Kapulet after receiving countless submissions for his highly acclaimed CCDNB podcast. After coming across dozens of amazing unsigned dubs and wondering how they could just slip under the radar, Kap decided to take matters into his own hands and get some of this great undiscovered music out and available to the general publc. While Stride is based out of the city that many consider to be the epicenter of Canadian drum’n'bass, the label pays attention to detail in regards to what is happening throughout the entire country of Canada. The first 4 signees — Vice LaVice, Schematic, Override and Spinlock — hail from Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Vancouver respectively.
The first release from Stride is Vice LaVice’s “The Future” EP, which was released on January 28th, 2010. Shortly after, Vice followed up “The Future” with his sophomore effort, the groundbreaking, crowd-tested dancefloor smasher “Save Me” to critical acclaim. Schematic will be the second act on the label to drop a release with his soulful, funk-infused 4 track release “The London EP” Available Febuary 25th followed by EP’s by Override and Spinlock set to release in march.
Having secured a distribution deal With Symphonic Distribution, the newly established label is about to embark on a major promotional campaign that will see bi-weekly releases throughout the remainder of the year made available on all major digital music outlets. Adding even further diversity to the already talent-rich roster the label boasts, Stride has been busy signing new acts to accompany its new look. Spring will see the first releases from Toronto-based production team Locked & Erbalist, who have already found great success with both vinyl and digital releases worldwide on several established labels. Kitchener’s Filtersweeper chimes in shortly after with a reggae-fused double pack, showcasing his knack for drum-heavy, anthemic production.
The future of Canadian Drum and Bass is right around the corner. INFO @ WWW.STRIDERECORDINGS.COM

FREE TC ELECTRONICS REVERB

2009-11-17T13:55:00.000-08:00

The good folks at TC are giving us a free one.

M30 Reverb
The M30 Studio Reverb is a simple to use, great sounding reverb that is powered by AlgoFlex™ - a new high definition TC technology that enables hardware quality and predictability to be ported to native software.

TC Electronic has been at the forefront of effects development for decades, and our reverb algorithms can be found in the best recording and mixing environments in the world. With its great sound M30 is a unique addition to VST- or AU compatible applications running with Mac or PC.

Robbie Bronnimann with M30 Reverb
Producer & recording artist Robbie Bronnimann is testing the M30 Studio Reverb from TC Electronic.

Close
M30 Reverb features
Hall
M30 is derived from the popular M40 reverb that ships with all TC Electronic audio interfaces. The sound of M30 takes the same Hall reverb algorithm that’s found in the M40 (alongside Room and Plate algorithms).

Pre Delay
Whether you work with vocals or instruments, the M30 Studio Reverb will add a broad and warm reverb to your sound. Use the pre delay to separate the source from the reverb tail.

Decay
M30 preserves the natural characteristics of the original source, which gives you an incomparable and authentic large sound. Use the decay parameter to adjust the length of the
reverb diffuse field.

Hi Color
The sound of M30 is perfectly suited to vocals, but it can also be used with a wide variety of instruments and audio material. Hi Color varies the “color” of the reverb. From dark to crisp and bright, the Color parameter can really change the characteristics and style of the reverb.

Mix
The Mix parameter obviously sets the wet/dry mix. Use the convenient 100% knob when working with the reverb as parallel effect.

It's free!
The M30 Reverb is free for download for a limited period of time.
Go to tcelectronic.com/freeTCreverb and get your free M30 reverb.

Support?
M30 is a free plug-in, and we unfortunately can not offer customer support for it.

M30 is tested with these systems:
Windows XP SP2, Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard

Applications:
Apple Logic Pro 9
Apple GarageBand
Steinberg Cubase 5
Steinberg Cubase 4.5
Cakewalk Sonar
Ableton Live

Your system or application not on the list?
If you system or application is not on the list, it might very well work anyway.

Why not try it out - it's free!

Note for Snow Leopard users!
We've experinced a problem with some systems running Snow Leopard.
A preset change will lead to noisy output, and we recommend not to use the plug-in at present time.
We'll look into the bug and get it fixed. To make sure you get the fixed version, sign up for the free version, and we'll send you a mail when the fix is ready.
