Christian Scott, also known as Christian aTunde Adjuah, one of the world’s most internationally acclaimed jazz artists has recently released his new album ‘Christian aTunde Adjuah’ (2012) which made it number 1 on iTunes a few weeks ago.

The album artwork itself expresses the vibrancy and stylistic fusions of the music amongst the two CDs.

Included throughout the tracks are his band members; guitarist Matthew Stevens, drummer Jamire Williams, bassist Kris Funn, pianist Lawrence Fields, tenor saxophonist Kenneth Whalum III, alto saxophonist Louis Fouche IIII and trombonist Corey King. The band has been deemed as ‘explosive’ and ‘adventurous’ which are two key qualities any band needs to succeed in their overall sound. This is just one example of the many positive press the album has received.

Sixto Diaz ‘Rodriguez’ has recently been added as one of our ‘LISTED ARTISTS'. We have been especially interested in his new documentary displaying the singer’s incredible story. He is also touring all over the US over the next few months and is visiting the UK mid November to perform at the Royal Festival Hall London on November 17th. See HERE

For years Levi Roots has had a passion for music and food. During his life in the UK he has used this passion to supplement his success in the food industry. Last month he released a new TV ad to promote his products. The ad includes his music; the song that sealed him the deal to great success on Dragons Den. Levi's Album "Red Hot" was released 2009.

Take a listen to one of Oceans Ate Akaska’s tracks ‘Clocks’ off their new EP ‘Into The Deep’. It’s also available on iTunes to purchase now. The UK metal-core band has also recently signed to The Artery Foundation, a US management company.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have just released the first of nine pairs of 7" singles from the 'I'm With You sessions' on iTunes and at redhotchilipeppers.com. The first of the two is ‘Strange Man’ which has a more chilled vibe in contrast to the second single ‘Long Progression’, which is more upbeat and uplifting.

Lemaitre is a Norwegian indie-electronic duo who formed in the summer of 2010. Together, Ketil & Ulrik create "raging disco beats, mixed with soft synthphrases and gripping melodies.” Check out their new video promoting their live visuals along with the single ‘Splitting Colours’ on the EP ‘Relativity 2’.
