Full Force Rising is the leather jacket you partied in then wore it to work. It took up this faded and rusty look but still got you the promotion your fiance was wishing for. Much like that rugged leather, the music this band displays, proves influences of classic rock as well as tomorrow's hard rock. With each of the 3 members coming from vast musical backgrounds, each stirs into the music influences from; jazz and blues, funk, classical, ethnic, traditional, electronic, and assortments of rock and metal.    

Today FFR is actively playing shows in and around Los Angeles, Ca. to continue expanding the grassroots following that they have. Connect with FFR through the links on the main page to catch the next live show. 
The trio is currently recording their full length album expected to be released in late 2010.

The Exquisite Delegates started with Amine from the Netherlands, and Sunbiz from Canada meeting in Shanghai working for the same music production house. Fellow delegate Dana Shellmire a.k.a. ‘Ocean Keep Waving’ from the US soon joined the duo as well. Finding out quickly they had a shared interest and passion for good music and a specific sound, the MC, vocalist and producer trio dove into the studio and thus the Exquisite Delegates were born.

Amine’s career spans numerous releases and involvement with groups the likes of ,’Z4’ , ‘BP’M’, ‘Afrosonic’, and ‘The Word’.

Sunbiz has his own contributions with album releases such as ‘Serious Sound’, ‘Manoeuvers 1’, and ‘愛屋及烏 - Love Before Everything’

Ocean Keep Waving (a.k.a. Dana Lorraine Shellmire) has enjoyed a vast global career as a composer, vocalist, producer, actress, and emerging author since 2000 – working with artists like Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Das EFX, Chuck Leavell, Philip Woo (Roy Ayers), After School Kids, The Word, and Tia Ray.

This Exquisite album is more then just vinyl samples and drum machines, it features China’s under-ground diva ChaCha from ‘AM444’ & ‘Faded Ghost‘, laying down her sound on the smooth head-bobbing track “Ships Like Space”.

This album is the culmination of love and dedication to a genre that has forever changed the way we all listen to popular music. Hiphop is not just street music - it’s way of being, a way of living and the soundtrack for an entire generation.

The Exquisite Delegates have a simple guiding philosophy at heart ; do what you love and do it the best that you can. 

We hope you enjoy this album as much as we enjoyed making it.

Its music - just listen.

Peace.

Music is the dream of my life. I'm an independent artist who supports all the costs of recording, producing and distributing my own music. I work in the production department of  a renowned company that produces organic food. I started playing acoustic guitar at the age of 15.

My musical and cultural background in general, have always covered the Anglo-Saxon world and in particular the culture and music of the United States and Great Britain. I have a profound knowledge of English and American literature and have always been fond of Celtic music, country and folk. My myths from a very young age were Woodie Guthrie, Jim Croce and Bob Dylan, the singers of the vast prairies of North America. Other artists who have strongly influenced my music world are John Denver, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, and all of West Coast's Artists like  Crosby Still Nash and Young, Eagles and America.

After obtaining an accountant diploma I was called  to work in my family’s company. This made my teenage art project even more complicated. At the age of 25 I stopped playing and I devoted myself entirely to the business that absorbed all my energy. 

With time I started playing again with no great ambition, but as my  passion had never faded  in 2007 I took my Takamine F25 and started playing again, after so many years and so much rust, it was not easy but from that moment on  I never stopped.
Writing has always been something I have never abandoned, I have always written about everything, articles for local newspapers, reviews for magazines specializing in my business, poetry and short novels. 

Over the years, I have embarked on a journey of inner rediscovery and meditation that has led me to a deep awareness of myself and my potential, and from that moment on, my dream was reborn. A few years ago I met a person who changed my life, it was a dejavu that set my feelings free. 

For Elena I wrote my first song followed by many others dedicated to her. All those who have listened to them have appreciated  innovative melodies, vibrant lyrics, and the intense emotions  they arouse. This awareness gave me more confidence and encouraged me to continue. So I started seeing artists and musicians, going to recording companies  hoping to get somehow noticed in the Italian musical artistic arens. I have been trying to emerge as a songwriter for 5 years, but despite the hard work I have not come to anything concrete.

I have always loved studying, especially scientific subjects and languages. I am fortunate enough to know English correctly, and this has allowed me to write and record songs in English too. I am pleased to know that the Gotha  of Italian music listened to my pieces but despite that I had to change my commercial strategy. In January 2017 I decided to address the Anglo-Saxon market by pointing to all the English-speaking countries: United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, Australia, South Africa etc.

On August 13, 2017, the song "ELENA on CDBaby featured on 150 Digital Distributors in 200 countries around the world, a song I am expecting much from." ELENA "is a cool, danceable song where besides  sexy and captivating lyrics they are very interesting sounds and a very high level arrangement. The official video has also been released on YouTube and a radio campaign will start in the United States, Canada and the UK.  Another single is  expected to be released by the end of the year and a full EP or full album by spring 2018. Today Elena, my partner in life, is also my collaborator in writing the lyrics and is back vocalist in the songs  we write, great added value to the beauty of our relationship.

Electric Assembly are a London-based band formed in 2004. Brought together by a shared love of music by Velvet Underground, Animal Collective, Spacemen 3, Boards of Canada, Flaming Lips, Miles Davis, Sonic Youth,
Can, and Boredoms, they experiment with elements from krautrock, country, psychedelia, drone, shoegaze, ambient, and electronica.

The band's heroes are artists who take risks, break rules, push boundaries, make mistakes, experiment and inspire - artists who make music spontaneously and instinctively - heroic under-achievers, glorious failures and faded has-beens.

Their new EP 'Slow Exit' is released on Dream Driven Recordings and contains five tracks, spanning a total of 44 minutes. This release sees the band build intricate arrangements of musical layers to produce a densely textured collection of songs. 

Playing live is where the band truly embrace the spontaneity of their music - songs can segue into one another, slowly developing trance-like into a more non-linear listening experience.

Electric Assembly's previous releases include Eyes On The Wall EP (produced by the band and mastered by Kramer of Galaxie 500 and Shimmy Disc fame), the hand-made, limited-edition White Splinter EP, and Base Station Repeater - an exclusive track released on the BBC Radio 1 DJ Rob Da Bank-curated 'Omskbook' CD.

The band also has a vast catalogue of unreleased songs and regularly post these exclusive tracks to their website for free download.
