Imagine not to be here. Imagine that something, at a certain point of history, changed the world as it was supposed to be. The world as you would have known, that one you’d have called Home. That new world would be your normal world, right? But everything could have been different. It’s something you know and have always known in some way. Like a shadow at the edge of your eye span. That thought you suddenly remember but immediately forget as you focus on it, trying to convince yourself that it wasn’t something relevant. That one thought is your brain, screaming out loud, trying to tell you that you’re on the wrong side of the mirror. You shouldn’t be here. But at this point, you are. You’re trapped. And you have to live with that, ‘cause now this is your home. 
Don’t worry about it, everything’s ok. As time passes by, you’ll forget about this weird feeling. Like a distant dream, fading away. This world is your world now. From the top of this building, looking up at the purple sky, inhaling and exhaling through your breathing apparatus, you think your life isn’t that bad, right? Freedom. That’s right. Everything’s ok. Hide your skin from the radiations. Be always in the blind side of Pristines. Pretend to obey. Pretend to forget. Don’t think about the past. Forget. Past doesn’t matter anymore. Forget. Past doesn’t exist anymore. Forget. The future is now. A future you didn’t expect. Forget. 
Remember. 
And now imagine to listen to all this.

I Travel Companions Sound sono il frutto di un'idea e di una passione di quattro ragazzi che fin da giovani si appassionano e si fomentano per ogni singola dancehall 
cittadina a cui partecipano. Col passare degli anni però le mura cittadine sono sempre più strette, così Domenico,Massimo,Mirko e Brando decidono di sprovincializzare la loro passione partendo per mete ed eventi sempre più importanti per dei veri amanti della musica reggae, Amsterdam,Salento,Rototom oltre che moltissime dancehall nella penisola sono solo l'inizio di questo VIAGGIO. Questi show spingono i 4 ragazzi a voler partecipare in prima persona al movimento,per poter dare il loro,seppur minimo, apporto alla scena reggae catanzarese,dopo aver assorbito le migliori vibes roots e dancehall in giro per Italia ed Europa.
Così nascono i Travel Companions nel 2010, mossi unicamente da un'amore e da una passione che li porta ad esprimere sempre più e a voler far divertire le persone riportando nelle dancehall anche tanta di quella musica e di quelle tune,che negli anni,con l'avvento della nuova dancehall, non si sentivano più.
Da qui iniziano i primi party in cui anche solo il warm up era un grosso evento,per poi proseguire e crescere fino ad avere l'opportunità di aprire serate e di condividere il palco al fianco di artisti e crew come Johnny Ousburne & Lone Ranger, Boomdabash, Mama Marjas, Black Chiney, City Lock, Kalibandulu, Shanty Crew, Sicily Rebellious, Dancehall Soldiers, Don Ciccio, Miss Mikela, Alevanille, Mad Betty, Gioman, Turi, SDC Posse, Jamstone Sound, Marvanza, Rude Family, Kaya Sound, Bass Odissey.
Dal 2011 oltre ad organizzare settimanalmente l'aperitivo più mad della città collaborando al fianco di un veteran sound come Catanzion con il quale hanno anche intrapreso dallo stesso anno un progetto,che tutt'oggi gode di un ottimo riscontro,chimato "UNTOLD STORIES",programma radiofonico all'interno della quale si discute e cerca di fare arrivare al pubblico il vero messaggio della reggae music e della storia della musica partendo dalle origini e dalle sue influeneze, arrivando alle celebrazioni e ai conflitti della dancehall di oggi.
Anche se sound giovane vantano anche una buona dub-box.
Nel Settembre 2014 si uniscono ai Travel Companions altri 3 membri, provenienti da esperienze cittadine e nazionali: 
Costinha Selecta, dj nostrano che ha già avuto modo di esprimersi su diversi stage regionali e non;
e 2 Mc (reggae, dancehall e hiphop) già noti nei circuiti undregound nazionali, Manzish e Alpha 9 a.k.a Wealthy Light.

Adept to the Scratch Live, working with the Traktor, therefore he delineates his sound better. It gets evident with the use of small details such as loops, bootlegs, re-mixes… always following the new styles adapted with the musical vanguard.

The choice of been a DJ has given to him good concerts at some of the most well known clubs such as D-Edge, Warung, Club88, Hoss Club, Clash, Lions, Pacha, A Lôca, Garage, Kiwi, Neo, Hause between many others. Besides that he played in some of the biggest parties in Brazil.

He had the opportunity to play with some big international names such as: Richie Hawtin, Loco Dice, Miss Kittin, Derrick Carter, Seth Troxler, Green Velvet, Technasia, Tiga, Art Department, Nic Fanciulli, Audiofly, dOP, Misstress Barbara, Deniz Kurtel, Oliver Huntemann, Stephan Bodzin, Hot Since 82, Guy Gerber, Heartthrob, Anthony Rother, Tim Green, Vitalic, Umek, Joris Voorn, Phonique, Mr. C, John Acquaviva, Nina Kraviz, Thomas Schumacher, Patrick Chardronnet, Dusty Kid, Funk D'void and much others.

     In early 2000, during an open mic session at a Talib Kweli show, Milez Grimez graced the stage for the first time. A positive crowd reaction was all it took for Milez to realize he had a future in hip-hop. One year down the line, Milez linked-up with 8th (formerly known as 8th Wundah), an emcee/producer with a wealthy reputation throughout the Rhode Island hip-hop circuit, which opened a number
of doorways for the aspiring artist. Since then, Milez has been pounding the pavement, refusing to miss out on any opportunity with the potential of flourishing his hip-hop career. His hard work has earned him appearances next to lyrical legends Rock (of Heltah Skeltah), Kool G Rap, Fredro Starr, and Crooked I (of Shady Records super-group Slaughterhouse), as well as underground sensations Apathy, Ruste Juxx (Duck Down Records), and Shabaam Sahdeeq.


     Other notches on the belt of Grimez have come by way of his recent victories at the Winter Wars emcee battle and, more impressively, R.A. the Rugged Man's Murderous Lyricist Competition, in which he beat-out hundreds of submissions and earned the votes and praise from over twenty well-known, respected panelists from the independent hip-hop community. There is no question that Rhode Island's Milez Grimez has what it takes to succeed; it's only a matter of time before the world takes notice.

Without freedom of thought and expression, I am a slave to demagogues, preachers and ancient traditions claiming the right to tell me what to think, how to live, what to believe - and that I must not question, but only obey.

This is not a full human existence. To be truly free to live, one must be free to think and speak. - A C Grayling.

We are on a rock travelling around 1 of 100 billion stars. Our species is 1 of over half a billion that have ever existed. Our chances of being born are about 1 in 400 trillion. You’re not special, but very lucky. Enjoy your amazing life. You’ll never exist again. - Ricky Gervais.

As one of the most in demand producers on the planet, David Guetta is poised to take electronic music out of the confines of the global underground, where he reigns as the No. 1 House DJ. Joining hands and forces with some of the biggest names on the urban scene, while introducing some undiscovered talents, another level beckons.

Already a multi-platinum selling artist in Europe, with three chart-topping albums to his name to date (Just a Little More Love 2002; Guetta Blaster, 2004; Pop Life, 2007), his signature sound of quirky, electro, house and dirty pop, is igniting across the rest of the world, where it was kept a club-land secret. Until now.

EMI Music will release Guetta’s much-awaited 4th album late August. It features guest vocals from Kelly Rowland, Will.I.Am, Novel and long time hit-maker Chris Willis, of course. Plus there are others too hot to mention yet. Guetta has also produced the forthcoming single by the Black Eyed Peas “I Got A Feeling”.

His mission is to share the love and connection Dance music is built on while bringing together music scenes that co-exist but don’t often mix – like NERD, Timbaland and Kanye – but significantly, from another perspective. Call it Electro-Hop, R&B Dance, Hip House, whatever you want, but it’s the sound that will define 2009.

As an artist and producer, he makes music that rocks the coolest clubs and yet sits proudly on pop radio and MTV. He uniquely and boldly treads a tightrope most DJs wouldn’t dare to traverse too: the line between being an underground DJ and having huge crossover success.

That might not sound like two worlds that go together, but that he won a World Music Award and was voted the best house DJ in the DJmag Top 100 in the same year is a credit to his ability to work in both of these seemingly disparate worlds.

David knows what touches people; playing in over 200 cities last year alone and up to 2 million people at a time – as well as in underground basement jams; he should.

“I’m not trying to be credible,” David admits with a smile broadening across his soft, open face. “I’m trying to be incredible. It’s very easy to be underground because you just have to obey a set of codes. It’s very formulaic. But it’s also very easy to be totally pop, because it’s very formulaic too. I’m trying to do something different.”

With around 70 million hits on YouTube (and climbing fast), David is as popular outside of nightclubs as he is in them. In fact, David’s video’s hold the Number 1 and No 3 spots in the most watched Electronica clips on Youtube – worldwide and of all time!

To see Guetta wind a room into frenzy is something special. Technically David is one of the most impressive DJs in the house scene. Almost remixing records live, he makes loops, slams tracks together that you’d never think would go and uses vocals over other instrumentals. His sets are so dynamic that at times it’s difficult to see how he can keep the energy up. To put it simply, Guetta creates moments.

“Everything I’m trying to do – in my DJing, my production – is about sharing emotion. When I’m making music in the studio that’s all I’m looking for. It’s what matters the most.!”

We are the Love in the C.R.E.W. Ministry, from Fountain of Life House of Worship, in Phoenix, Arizona.  We are a ministry of young adults that are interested in more than just merely existing. It is our prayer that through community, accountability, supplication and prayer that we will not only build ourselves as stronger christians but also as a stronger community.

Are you merely existing or are you fulfilling the purpose God has in store for you? God’s purpose for you is to do more than just exist.

Christian Ministry can be summed up in the following statement: Glorify God and serve man by fulfilling the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). The Great Commandment is as follows: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” The Great Commission reads: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Five Reasons You Always Get Girls That Are Gold Diggers 
 1.       You Are Not Yourself
 You always pretend when you meet girls. You do it all the time!! You lean against your car, talk about the numerous business deals you have in the pipeline, wave champagne bottles in the air and everything you talk about is money, money, money. If you want a quality woman, you need to stop using material goods and the “I have money” sales man pitch.
2.       You Lack Confidence
 One of the reasons some men use money to get girls is because they do not have much confidence in their looks and self ability to get girls without it. This is completely unnecessary.
We all look different in this world and we all have different people we are attracted to. If you use money to get girls, it is a bit self defeating because you will know they do not genuinely like you and that is not a good feeling for anyone and will make you lose more confidence. It is important that a woman makes you feel good. You are not an ATM. You are a human being.
 3.       You Think Girls Don’t Like You That Much
I do not care if you have had loads of girls say no!! I do not want you to feel that you cannot get a woman without cash. It is absolute nonsense! It is a game of numbers some girls will say yes and some will say no!! It is important you don’t let those rejections trick your brain into thinking everybody has the same opinion. I love steak and chips one of my favourites maybe you don’t like steak and chips but guess what, loads of people do and loads of people don’t!! Opinions will always differ. Do not let that cripple your confidence.
 4.       In The Past, You Have Been Insulted Because of Cash Issues
 This point is a little more tricky, I completely get it if you dated a woman in the past who left you because of money or said you did not have enough  and stated so I can’t date you, or may be your job changed etc.
 We are all humans, we instantly go to defence mode when attacked. It is understandable to vow to never put yourself in that position again and either not let women get too close or play them at their game I call the I am rich stance. The sad truth is no matter your financial situation, very wealthy, average, it doesn’t matter. No one likes a gold digger so in the end you will be dissatisfied when you know a woman is with you for the wrong reasons. If a woman is rude because you don’t pay for everything she asks and insults you, no problem. Let’s take a walk to the door and put her outside.
 5.       Everyone Knows I have Money
 It comes with the territory because you are successful in your field, business, sports star musician, arts, or come from a wealthy lineage. There isn’t much you can do!! This is hard to deal with but you have to be more selective and not let beauty lead you. It must be character that let leads you and do not feel disheartened when you discover she is yet another gold digger. It’s just part of the game. It is simple. Once you realise she is just in it for the cash, proceed to the elimination process. “I’M BUSY!!” LOL!! Do not let beauty confuse you with what’s right.
 No matter what, there are loads of good women out there and there are loads of bad but do not tarnish everyone with the same brush. You deserve a woman who loves you for you. Use your personality and charm as a magnet and not money and don’t waste your time with the loser girls who are just in it for the cash!!
 YOU DESERVE A GOOD WOMAN!!
 Good luck.
Do not let past bad experiences get you down keep going

here's plenty to be said about the artist/producer 8th. The Rhode Island native, formerly known as 8th Wundah, has been making moves in the music business for over a decade and has the stripes to prove it. Not only has he earned such credentials throughout years of contributing to the local scene, but 8th has also made his mark throughout the independent hip-hop landscape. Apathy, Onyx, Dilated Peoples, Kool G Rap, Cassidy, and the late great GURU of Gang Starr are only a few of the names listed on his resume. 8th has also had the opportunity to work with major label players like Atlantic Records VP/A&R Mike Caren and G-Unit A&R Andre McKenzie. Most recently, 8th went head-to-head with Dipset's in-house producer AraabMuzik in what ended up being a controversial MPC battle that has gone on to clock over one-million views since the video footage surfaced on the internet.

A finish line is nowhere in the foreseeable future, either. 8th has much more to offer the world with his music, as the man seems to be just getting warmed-up. He has been working diligently with promising artists such as M3, Milez Grimez, Urbalist and Swann Notty, as well as notable producers Vertygo, Elji, and AraabMuzik, among others. What ever project 8th gets a hold of, rest assure it will be brought to the next level.
