<center><blink> a z A p - a-q-rat sounds AZitiZ poetry

When it comes to cool names, there’s no doubt that AZitiZ (AS IT IS) a native of New Orleans, is a master. Derived from the subtitle of the ancient Sanskrit classic, Bhagavad Gita As It Is. The phrase, AZitiZ means the unadulterated truth.

Growing up, AZitiZ went to school in Florida to an all girl's spiritual boarding school where the girls learned yoga, meditation & practiced strict vegetarianism. With the school, she traveled the world, including India , doing theatrical performances and music. Over the years, her music excellence became apparent as she mastered different styles of drumming. AZitiZ has always been attracted to percussion and drums, so after school she went to study at Ali Akbar College of Music in San Rafael, California and also lived in India for eight months, to further her study of percussion.

When she returned to the states, AZitiZ heard hip hop, fell in love with it and was inspired by Queen Latifa, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu & Missy Elliot. From here, her music took a totally different direction. Compelled by the flowy, rhythmic rhymes of hip hop, she found her niche. Now, she’s ready to explode on the scene with a fresh new sound.

AZitiZ isn't content to leave the music world as it is. This is an artist ready to leave a crater – that is, she's gonna make an impact. Her evocative blend of hip-hop and soul elements ride an electric line along the cutting edge of urban music creativity. At the same time, she keeps a grip on the staple elements in which the genres are rooted. Catchy doesn't even begin to describe the hook-heavy infectiousness that pull the listener into a world of vital words and potent grooves.


An Honest Connection


AZitiZ doesn't insult listeners. She doesn't hypnotize the uninspired with heard-it-before complacency. Her artistry is grounded in originality and truth-speaking. Musically, AZitiZ crafts songs that come alive with the fervent spirit of creativity in which they are formed. Lyrically, AZitiZ speaks what she knows, never faking and never, ever hiding from reality. Music, for her, is about joy, freedom, honesty and forming a connection with others. At the core is getting in touch with others through music. To make that connection, the music has to have something real to offer the listener, which is where keeping it real and refusing to water down the message – for anyone or any reason – come into play. The spirit of joy and the exuberance of freedom come from that synergy, possible only through talent and truth.


True Expression


There's a reason for the strict standards behind the music of AZitiZ. Love doesn't lie. Pure human artistic communication occurs only through the honesty exercised in one's craft. “True expression is love,” says AZitiZ. Therefore, to truly express one's self, it must be from love, the truest form of which requires emotional, artistic and intellectual honesty in songwriting. Which means nothing is taboo. The good of life, and the bad, are all sources of influence for AZitiZ and her music. A fascination with the wonder of existence is also necessary for that special spark that's found in good music. “Life inspires me, the ups, the downs, smiles and frowns. Mother Earth inspires me; the stars and the unknown intrigue me. I am influenced by people who follow the heart and, especially, the soul.”

“AZitiZ is a forthright performer, one of strength and integrity, and – most importantly – understanding.” – A&R Select

 I am the composer and producer the sounddesigner in this collaboration based at the Baltic Sea in Germany.

In the mid 90’s I started DJing. Primarily Rap and Hip Hop of the 80s and 90s was my thing. However this all changed when I moved to Berlin in 1998 when I started Combining Nu-Jazz with Hip Hop, but with a turntablelist style. Adding scratches, dropping beats and generally juggling with two records. As this combination developed, I started producing Bootleg remixes from classics Hip Hop artist like the Beastie Boys, KRS ONE, Eric B. & Rakim.

However, after a while, my attraction to Hip Hop lyrics was no more, and I found myself becoming more and more interested in the beats and Instrumentals. Thus moving more into the Trip Hop and Dub spectrum. After time and bit by bit, my turntables became dusty, as I was busy composing my own tunes.

In 2007 I was pulled towards the Baltic Sea in Schleswig Holstein. Where my life changed... (Don’t ask why?)

So…… Here I am today. Its 2010, I’m still making Hip Hop and Trip Hop tracks.

I’m Backed by BPR Berlin and I love what I do.

“Subversion in cinema starts when the theatre darkens and the screen lights up,”

(Amos Vogel)

Randfilm is an association of people who offer a forum for the art of edgy and abyssal film. They pose various questions and provide cinematic works by outstanding visionaries as answers. Again and again, entrenched viewing habits have been challenged by directors, writers and producers in search of artistic forms of expression. Their take on change comes with a deliberately staged attack on the status quo, on social norms and conventions, on our field of view, on the individual and the society in an innovative and unusual way. Randfilm devotes its attention to these cinematic revolutionaries: Their program documents cinematic taboo violations and visionary journeys through the dark corners of our minds and our subconscious. They want to encounter the strangest yet most spectacular visions that have ever took place on a movie screen.

MUSIC LIVE FROM LEICESTER SQUARE THEATRE

After firmly establishing itself as one of London’s premiere comedy venues, Leicester Square Theatre is branching out to become a major destination for live music acts.

The 2010 ‘Live from Leicester Square Concert Series’ got off to an amazing start in July this year with three sold-out exclusive UK gigs by the Grammy award-winning, singer-songwriter, Macy Gray.  This was a unique opportunity to see a global star up close at one of London’s most intimate, 400-seat music venues.

A packed autumn concert series features music greats, pop, jazz and dance icons, soul divas, classical crossover and contemporary and musical theatre acts.  These range from an exclusive gig in Nov with Hazel O’Connor singing Breaking Glass live to celebrate 30 years of the iconic film ‘Breaking Glass’; Ruby Turner, one of the best voices the UK has to offer also performed a brilliant set earlier this month.

Future shows come from Lenny Zakatek, (the voice of the Alan Parsons Project), The Christians, prime movers of the Soul Scene, Rockapella, direct from the USA, the leading a cappella group’s first UK show, John Mayall, the Godfather of British Blues, David McAlmont, Jocelyn Brown and many more.

Leicester Square Theatre has an illustrious history as a live music venue, as the Cavern in the Town in the 60’s, beat group The Small Faces had a regular residency, in the 70’s as the Notre Dame Hall, The Rolling Stones played there along with The Who.  But punk ruled supreme and the venue hosted some riotous early landmark gigs by The Sex Pistols.  The Clash previewed their ‘London Calling’ material there in 79 before recording the seminal album the following month.  Leicester Square Theatre opened as a West End theatre as The Venue, with the world premiere of Boy George’s musical ‘Taboo’ in 2002.

The ‘Live from Leicester Square’ banner firmly places music back at the heart of the West End with Leicester Square Theatre once again one of London’s premier music venues.

I'm Deborah (Devorah), an explorer of the Metaphysical, Astrological and Mythological. Join me in connecting to the natural Rhythms of Life! - http://www.devorah.com.au/

"A birth-chart is a rich and living statement full of insights, and guidelines, not a static fate but a flowing life pattern, full of options and risks. An encounter with an effective astrologer should leave a person inspired to live more fully and confidently with a deeper sense of purpose. Growth, that is the key, that separates true Astrology from Fortune - Telling". (The Inner Sky -Steven Forrest)
The study of Metaphysics combines science, religion and philosophy in a quest to understand our relationship to the Universe. Astrology translates and decodes Astronomical data through a mythological and symbolic language, which serves to increase our connection to universal patterns, and in essence the 'rhythms of life'. I invite you now to join me on a mythical journey of self-discovery. The study of Astrology offers a very helpful and descriptive guide-map that may assist and support your journey. ‘The Journey’, being the developmental process of growing from a seedling into what we are so inclined to become. Profoundly, the practice of Astrology reveals the potential nature of your particular kind of seedling and through the birth chart, Astrology offers an enigmatic soulful perception that can help us uncover meaning and purpose from what is unfolding in our lives and offers support so we can connect more deeply with our inner wisdom and spirit, in order to develop our greatest gifts to offer back to the world.

So then what is "psychological" astrology? Well Psychological Astrology, is not focused purely on prediction being based predominantly on the belief in one's free will and choice. Psychological or Archetypal astrology, the ancient planetary map of the soul” is looked at through the lens of depth psychology as pioneered by the 20th century Swiss psychiatrist Dr Carl G. Jung. 
Jung showed great courage in his investigation of astrology as it was considered to be "taboo", but Jung believed it necessary to explore certain taboos in order to gain a better understanding of the psyche. It's known that, when challenged by an especially perplexing case, Jung would arrange to have the patients birth chart cast in order to gain more insight into the individual. Jung went on to state: - "I must say that I very often found that the astrological data elucidated certain points which I otherwise would have been unable to understand. I dare say that we shall one day discover in astrology a good deal of knowledge that has been
intuitively projected into the heavens. For instance, it appears that the signs of the zodiac are character pictures, in other words symbols which depict the typical qualities of the libido at a given moment." - C. G. Jung

"Sun Sign" astrology is only very general. Your true Birth Chart is unique to only you; and is a symbolic snapshot of your unique fingerprint, your star print in the Cosmos. For specific and individual guidance, an astrologer must calculate the full details of your unique horoscope; which is based on calculations involving the date, the place and the approximate time of your birth. Astrology is not a system of faith; it is purely a symbolic language and a universal way to connect with nature, the cosmos and the intrinsic cycles of life. The deeply reflective symbolism connected with the mystical arts inevitably mirrors back to us what it is we need to learn in order to grow and realise our true potential. Astrology celebrates our individuality yet reminds us that we are part of a great mystery where -
"All is foreseen, but freedom of choice is given"
Your FATE has two arms and one arm is your own....

It’s been quite a journey, but Alanna Cherote has returned to Australia with her first material since her triumphant debut album PAPERFLOWER. Alanna has stolen the hearts of Canadian music listeners and critics alike, playing Canadian Music Week where her determination to win Canada over paid off. Prominent Radio Host Alan Cross rated catchy single ‘Street Girls’ as Explore Music’s ”Indie Track of The month”. Adding to the affirmation was CBC Radio’s Mark Rheaume, who expressed, “Music reviewers who deal with hundreds of recordings a year know that very few releases offer more than a handful of outstanding tracks.  In defiance of the math, Alanna Cherote’s ‘Paper Flower’ offers one glorious tune after another”.
Her latest offering, powerhouse single ‘TABOO’, was released to rave reviews.
For Alanna, spreading her wings to the far side of the globe, was where she found her sweet spot, with international performances and song-writing collaborations in Los Angeles, the United Kingdom and Canada. In addition to that, recording with the legendary Canadian singer songwriter Ron SexSmith. When thinking of Alanna and her work Ron says  “The first time I ever heard Alanna’s music and wonderful voice  I knew she was the real deal” 
‘Taboo’ plans on grabbing the attention of her Aussie fans.
Taboo is the single where she gives her most powerful performance to date. This song is pure fire. With a heavy stroke of Quentin Tarantino inspiration, some Pat Benatar threads, and a serious attitude, this single is set to shock and delight old and new fans alike.

‘Everything about Alanna’s demeanour illustrates that she is serious when it comes to her craft. With her lionhearted songwriting style, her heavy gaze, striking dark features, and mostly the blazing fire that lives behind her intense, heavily lined, almond-shaped eyes, says it all when your wondering what you can expect to hear. This is the single where she gives her most fearless performance to date.”
Andy Crosbie ( Sparks Music Canada )

GROUCE is an EMCEE/RAPPER/VOCALIST & MUSIC PRODUCER based in SYDNEY AUSTRALIA.

GROUCE BIO
 During the early part of last decade, within the quiet depths of a Sydney suburb, the lead singer of a band somehow finds himself falling down a rabbit-hole into the realm of rap & hip hop music - and so from here his story begins… After initially being exposed to the inner-workings of a high-school band mastering the art of funk and blues, the lyricist not yet then known as GROUCE had received his first taste of what the musical creative process could offer him therapeutically.
 
In the early days while GROUCE’s lyrical abilities were still in their infancy and being developed, restraints were being placed upon his inherent need to tread new grounds and expand upon what was felt to be lacking within popular lyrics at the time.
 
Immediately after parting ways with the band that brought him into “the world of writing songs“, GROUCE began to find all limitations subsiding while creating his new approach to writing lyrics; which in-turn led to the unintentional creation of “raps“, due to the rhyme-complexity and idiosyncratic nature newly incorporated into his new style of written verses. And with these newfound raps, an emcee was born…In 2006, he was named GROUCE.
 
In his 7th year as a lyricist and in his 4th year of rapping, 2007 saw the creation of GROUCE’s Weapons Of Mass Distraction, a humble attempt at his first mixtape which laid the foundation for what was to come in-regards to GROUCE as a recording-artist. But without a moments delay, a follow-up mixtape double-in-size with 20 tracks was produced only 6 months later in July ’07 - It Is What It Is. Though both mixtapes saw only limited CD pressing and given to the important few within the Sydney Hip-Hop scene, they can both still be found and downloaded here @ www.freewebs.com/grouce2
 
Also early in the turbulent year of ‘07, GROUCE began his life on stage by performing a number of shows around town; and over the years since then, the most memorable stage performances have been “LiveFuse3” supporting Jumbledat and Usutu at the Gaelic Club with Reverse Polarities; “567 King’s 2nd Bday” at the Abercrombie Hotel; and performing at the 2011 Inner West Festival.

 LATEST RELEASE: RAINY DAY WOMEN NO.9 & 42
 GROUCE certified his induction into the Sydney hip hop scene with the release of his long-awaited mixtape RAINY DAY WOMEN NO.9 & 42 which features an assortment of songs showcasing both the rap and singing abilities that GROUCE is increasingly becoming known for; and in the process has firmly cemented his place within the Sydney Hip Hop scene. This latest offering from GROUCE is predominately a hip-hop/rap mixtape, but also at times can feature songs that are hard to classify - surprisingly this fact is now found to be part of its appeal. GROUCE on RAINY DAY WOMEN NO.9 & 42 is accompanied by a variety of Sydney & international underground hip-hop producers catering to many musical tastes, but also features a couple re-workings of classic instrumentals much-loved within the hip-hop sphere and even those unbeknownst to many hip-hoppers - one example could be the 6th track titled Eleanor Rigby Redux, a song-title known by Beatles fans across the globe.
 
Drawing influence from all genres of music and lyricism heard both here and abroad; GROUCE fuses a unique blend of styles all into the one distinct voice carrying with it a meticulous flow; which is almost always remarked as being the among the most recognizable on any song that it is featured on.
 
GROUCE yields a certain knack for cleverly incorporating sensitive issues long considered taboo by the establishment and the overly maligned corporate-machine. Melodically-savvy and with a twisted sense of humour, GROUCE cultivates a contagious brand of hip hop that is admittedly easily digestible by those who are fortunate to consume it. GROUCE’s live show is also as entertaining; fast becoming a hot topic around the water-cooler due to the unpredictable nature of the live show now performed in Sydney and hopefully soon interstate.
 
If someone was to describe GROUCE’s ever-increasing repertoire of songs, a person might begin to describe it collectively as unrelenting; provocative; educational though comically-driven; experimental and pioneering but also firmly grounded to the roots who they themselves were pioneers; highly-crafted with an almost overly-heightened attention to detail; and as cosmically foreign to some as to say it almost borders further beyond the norm than anything else before it.
