NO POP MUSIC - Tony Finger (TOuch it Records) 9-12pm
As one of the up-coming producers and DJs of the current electronic scene Tony Finger drops his first Album ‘No Pop Music’ on his own label – Touch it Records. The album features 14 tracks written & produced by Tony to showcase what his label is all about; as well as a second exclusive CD, compiled & mixed with the latest and hottest international tracks in sophisticated funky, sexy electro house.
With its wide ranging and genre defying grooves, crossing between house, electro & progressive, Touch It records is fast gaining interest and support from the worldwide scene. Soon to join the label (as producers and remixers) are Jorge Jaramillo (Who da Funk), Dino Moran and many up & coming global artist.
But let’s be clear about one thing – “This is not only an artist album” says Tony. “This is a club orientated album. It is fun, groovy, melodic, rocking, emotional, and crazy (like me)”. Visit www.nopopmusic.net for more info.
The single NO POP MUSIC, reached the top 10 on djdownload.com after only 1 week in January 2008. It has also been reviewed by IDJ Magazine in the UK – "There is no space for pop music" the synthesized vocal tells us here. There is it seems, however, space for yet another slice of "yeah yeah" alike, electro house by numbers. That rather sniffily said, this has got bags of energy and the kids will probably love it! So there you go!
Dino Moran, Roger Goode, Dean Fuel and Lady Lea are rocking the dancefloors and pumping the airwaves with singles from NO POP MUSIC.
