From the town of Media, PA, singer/songwriter John McManus has been turning heads with his poetic music and poignant lyrics.  Guitar in hand, he has been gaining exposure as an expressive musician with an alternative style, desiring to share his life thoughts through music by playing in bars, cafes, and theatres.  John is in the works of creating a new album, of which he says, “It’s not for the platinum record or anything – it’s just to share the music.  I want to share my stories.”
 
John McManus first performed live as a musician when he started a band with some friends in high school, taking his first guitar class in his sophomore year.  He started exploring the art of writing lyrics as well, and even wrote a few songs.  He graduated from Penn State planning to be a history teacher, but his new passion surpassed his original life outline. John fell in love with not only sharing the music, but seeing the way his audiences absorbed it and how it impacted them.   “I love being out there with the people,” John says. “I’m not gonna hide behind the curtain after the performance is finished.  I want to be out there in the mix, talking and hearing about people’s lives and stories.  It’s just what I do.”
 
In 2005, John’s mother was diagnosed with cancer.  After an unsuccessful operation and a tiring span of chemotherapy, she passed away in 2006.  John admired his mother above anyone else and her death brewed an even more intense passion to help others in song than he previously felt.  “Writing is an expression of a feeling you have---a selfish thing---but hopefully listeners can relate to it,” John says.  In the future, McManus wishes to partner with some worthy causes.  John’s songs can almost be seen as life chapters put to music; each one echoes an emotion felt during a point in life.  His motto in life, “P.M.A.” (Positive Mental Attitude), finds its way into his music, revealing how he reacts to life’s curveballs.  
 
Of late, John’s song “The Platform of Our Lives” won a songwriting contest, inspiring Realize Records’ Paul Lewis to record a cover.  As John breaks into more mainstream coverage of his music, more can be expected of him.  Having written hundreds of songs that slip between the fingers in years past, we anticipate the songs that John will now bring to life for us.  We might even see some piano riffs and bass lines from the “Manus” himself – he’s taking lessons.  You can spot him in bustling, sociable places like bars and cafes.  But if he’s busy typing into his iPhone don’t distract him – he just might be storing lyrics in his notepad.  With an album on the way and venues stretching their necks to see what the commotion is all about, John better lace up those Converse sneakers he likes so much -  he’s got quite a ride ahead of him.

In the beginning, there was the Dr's of Rhythm, and the Dr's of Rhythm had a groove.

And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.

And while one day viciously throwing down on their turntables, the Dr's of Rhythm boldy declared,

"Let there be HOUSE!"
"Let there be DEEP HOUSE!"
"Let there be ACID JAZZ!!"
"Let there be NU JAZZ!"
"Let there be NU SKOOL!"
"Let there be OLD SCHOOL!"
"Let there be WORLD BEAT!"
"Let there be BREAKBEAT!"

and Our Style was born...

"We are, you see,

We are the creators, and this is our Style!

And, in our Style there are many Styles of music.

But, we are not so selfish because once you enter our house it then becomes OUR house and OUR house music!"

And, you see, no one man or woman owns house because house music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all.

You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless you're deep into the vibe of house.

House is an uncontrollable desire to jack your body.

And, as I told you before, this is our house and our house music.

And in every house, you understand, there is a keeper.

And, in this house, the keepers are the Dr's of Rhythm.

Now some of you who might wonder,

"Who are the Dr's of Rhythm, and what is it that the Dr's of Rhythm do?"

The Dr's of Rhythm are the ones who give you the power to jack your body.

The Dr's of Rhythm are the ones who give you the power to do the snake.

The Dr's of Rhythm are the ones who give you the key to the wiggly worm.

The Dr's of Rhythm are the ones who taught you how to walk your body.

The Dr's of Rhythm are the ones that can bring nations and nations of all groovers together under one house.

And this is fresh!!

that is not a pic of me. that is a picture of a very down to earth cool person.  I possess neither quality.
 I am a grown adult who trolls the internet, not just cynically but i actually drive people away with an overbearing nosiness  and trying to compensate for something not sure if its really seen by others or if its the purporting of a notion other then that drives them away or a mix of both but i am content now for the most part and its easy to not care and be selfish i just act as petty as possible and i typically get what i want this way or by some means i like to purport the notion that i have some emotional depth but truly i am a superficial man trying to perpetuate some kind of image to make people feel certain ways of me.  i havent been with a women in over 2 years now except for this stripper but only for 2 songs cause i ran out of cash.  im a narcissist i think not sure its hard to tell when im just so perfect otherwise.  i also write, record, and produce all myself with no help other people are busy im a bum ass dude i do music i write songs but also just noise i enjoy. i am content in my discontentment i have no boundries with others this is a picture of me that is me this is me i will make any noise dont care i am open to any noise i feel capable of noise in whatever respect and can take the role of a leader(barely anyone follows) or follower if you want me to come make a noise you can say do this and i would dont need credit for that stupid fucking rainstick noise

Norwegian DJ/Producer/Sound Designer Thomas DeColita is proud to announce a collaboration and project with the lovely Miss Ameera Ali. “Paralysis” - Empower yourself with strength to listen to our perceptions, feelings and images of our surroundings.
- Apart from being one of Norway’s most saught out djs, Thomas , who’s  young age  will  probably deceive you at the begining to  put him in the same category of Producer newbies and form  a pre- judgement  on anything that could possibly come out from such young talent , is one of the most talented ,if not ,The Best sound designers your ears will ever come across among the illed epic fail of the new so-called talented producers ; A fail well aknowldged by those who have been  around just a little longer  than the time it took for the IFING FREAKING L STUDIO  to finish installing on your PC  after you decided that calling yourself a Dj and producer will get you laid. But hey, you are probably reading this and thinking: Where's the love bro?  why so serious?

Well, bro, bre, bra . You want some love? I tell you this with my genatles put on bet here. If you don't start crying or at least gayly reminiscing about some gayass sad memory or childhood insident by the third track, you are surely... gay! Because that is the amount of love and feelings you will feel in his productions.

- An inventive sound designer. I use the word "inventive" here  after careful thaught and consideration of how to describe this individual. Yes, inventive is exctly what he is. from the first moment you start listening, you realize that you are in the presence of a dangerous mind, one with a broad aesthetic view that mixes dark and emotional sounds in a way never heard before, creating bigger than life sound effects and goose- bump givers.  Experimenting  with sounds and emotions, yet keeping it all intact and poetically construed with strong rhythmical narratives far from the usual prosaic stuff. it is usually by the time you get to the Expression tracks  where you start to wonder whether infedamines were involved in the production. And if you had the balls  to speak your mind, which im pretty sure you don't since you've been stuck for the past week trying to catch that Tiesto riff instead of finding your own, you will realize that you are in the presence of greatness, humblness, kindness, selfishness, cockiness, crazyness , sadness and madness. You will realize that you are in the presence of a human being , an individual, a person offering honesty and I for one take that offer.  From a long history of substance abuse and a corrupt growing to a remarkable recovery caused by nothing else but music. From painful memories to unfortunate events , from selfish needs to cruel intentions. You meet him as he is, with his thoughts , beliefs, mistakes, achievments, as he is. And my friend, I don't know about you, but in a world where everyone pretends to be what they're not, in a world where everyone follows a set standard of what good music should sound like forgetting who they are, in a world where music persuers are persuing for the wrong reasons, that  to me , is the greatest honor. To meet a real artist. As he is.

- A mind Beautifuly disturbed, perfectly broken, ingeniously corrupted creating music that takes you on  trip in your deepest darkest corners leaving you aware of your black side, your weak side. Nevertheless, with the dark there is other original work. From uplifiting , hardcore , progressive , dirty electro to chillout. Tracks and productions diverse as night and day. Each triggered by completely different events and factors but  share one common denominator, they are all powerful. Perhaps the most fascinating part woud be the fact that all these extensivly powerful productions are home-made. Produced by someone who self trained himself to achieve a sound quality that usually comes costly. Hinting to those so busy buying the big toys  and wasting time pimping their rides instead of learning to drive. But let me move a little bit from the production and technical facts of music to explain to you further why this person deserves your attention and valuable time wasted. let me explain to you why your valuable time will not be wasted.

His musical sensitivity and love for experimenting new sounds makes him a versatile producer that’s not just easy to work with, but inspirational for those around him. Allow me to elaborate as i'm sure it's very easy for so many artists today to be called inspirational.

- Perhaps the most important part about aiming to become a big producer is to never lose touch with reality. In other words, keep your feet on the ground you walk on because we all know damn well that humans can't fly so don't you go flying in your head thinking you're a shooting rocket because you'll end up being nothing but a falling star that will disappear once it falls down. Thomas's main fulfillment and joy from all that he does in terms of music is the one thing that many artists will say to you, to have one person moved or touched by the music you make is enough to keep you satisfied for the rest of the year. To have one kind message from a fan telling you that you inspire them will be enough payment and food and luxuary for the coming three years where you realize that there is actually no money or real living in music making. But sure, artists will get that message, appreciate it, maybe reply with a kind message and move on to work. and maybe throw a liner there about the upcming single and how they appreciate your  $2 support . The humble acts of networking and getting to know fellow beginner producers and , as harsh as it might sound, nobodies only take place in the grouth period of self aclaimed artists and producers. The period where they need the support. Once that track hits a state of trance it hits the artist as well taking him on a state of trash most of the time. Feet off the ground. So when you come across a person with so many musical achievements where he's come a long way from complimentary chats and fanbase building, when you come across a person with so little time for himself and so much work to be done that will sit and give his whole time and extra on each individual that will approach him for help or friendship iyou got to at least give this act some praise.  Inspiring and getting to people through your music is something but giving every single person you meetsthe attention they deserve is an oscar grammy winning act by itself. To become a teacher, a friend, and even a fan of your own fans. is a humble act that proves to you that there are still people out there that are actually doing it for the music. Again I repeat, he offers honesty. Take it and embrace it and allow it to inspire you to become a better person, a kinder soul and a more creative artist. Today, Thomas sits on a fanbase of thousands, each of them a personal friend not just a name on a list. Each of them  his new family. Each of them greatful to have met him. Take it from me, spend those five minutes you waste wacking yourself off and spend them on listening to a track by this guy. Your musical learning journey would not be complete without coming accross his work and himself. This is a guy that once DJ'd and kept spinning live for 11 hours non-stop from his room streaming through a web-based player on his website for the sake of 10 fans that joined his website chat and asked him to keep going. And you know what was the result? For him, it was a back pain and sleep deprivation in addition to wasting valuable time that was meant to finish some work with deadlines. For him it was nothing but pleasing 10 people that would've loved him and kept listening to his music regardless o whether he stayed or left. For the ten people: it was the most serealized unbelievable 11 hours they spent without even feeling it pass. 10 people that didn't know each other.  Literally , each one of them from a different side of the world with different lives and different backgrounds .But they all had one thing in common which was, apart from the love of EDM, Thomas .. They all had Thomas in common. 10 people that looked up to him and were inspired by his being put in 11 hours of hrmony, 11 hours of serenity, 11 hours of escape from everything that made them broken,11 hours of pure passion for music.,11 hours of comfort and a feel of belonging, 11 hours of Thomas. Those 10 people today hold a steady friendship with one another communicating and talking constantly on an everyday basis  to each other. What more can someone ask for?  Because at the end of the day, isn'nt the whole point of music to bring people together in harmony and love?

My rating? Ten thousand stars.

- Today, Thomas hand picks a vocal wave from a broad range of vocals available to him, He stumbles upon a sound that he by himself can hear the potential and real power in its core like no other can, He grants his trust and belief to a voice and hears in it the longing and true feelings. He hears its story and puts it through a test of his own. A test not so standard. When every other producer looks for perfection and a set standard of what a vocal should sound like, he looks for something else. he looks for honesty. He looks for different. He looks for unique. Because my friend, he is a trend setter not a follower. And so a collab begins, A new story begins and we all cannot wait to see what comes out of this story.

“It took life for us to get to this point – Everybody was so free.
From the first notes, it sounded like an explosion of sound; we went where the songs took us with a singularity of purpose.
We came in to make music as grown-ups, to make music as men.”
– Raul Malo, lead singer of The Mavericks

The Mavericks are back. The country-steeped garage band with a Cuban American lead singer that had emerged from Miami in 1989 with their sultry debut that was equal parts innocence, intensity, and vintage influences has reunited in 2012 after an eight-year hiatus.  Time has a way of melting when you’re busy living life – and two decades have passed since their polyrhythmic brand of post-modern country has given the world “All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down,” “Here Comes The Rain,” and “Dance The Night Away.”

With their new album, time melts once again, and the band that defied definitions, blurred genres, and made everybody feel good is back. The “most interesting band in the world” has captured the infectious energy and robust sound from their live shows on their new Valory Music release In Time. Songs like “Dance In The Moonlight,” the Orbison-esque “Born To Be Blue,” the horn-punctuated retro noir “Back In Your Arms Again,” and the Tejano-esque “All Over Again” show that the Mavericks have once again found the way to make genre-defying soul music.

For Raul Malo, the lead singer with the rich supple voice that’s second to only Roy Orbison in its ability to convey lonesomeness, desire, and vivre; drummer Paul Deakin and multi-instrumentalist Robert Reynolds; as well as longtime collaborator keyboardist Jerry Dale McFadden and seasoned guitarist Eddie Perez, life has become richer in terms of experience, playing acumen, and a sense of their own musicality. It has also deepened the connection between them in a way that heightens the singular chemistry that made the Grammy-winning band one of the most exciting live acts in any musical genre.

“Maybe the space has given us a sense not of how it can happen, but what can happen when we come together,” says Deakin, who has spent the years apart balancing master-level carpentry with touring with David Mead and Jason White. “Just being there, and experiencing it, you don’t think about it. But there is definitely something when you get Raul, Robert, Eddie, Jerry Dale, and I in a room together that’s magical."

“The way this record happened really fostered the passion, the urgency and the hyper-listening of being in tune with each other. It’s a way of being in tune we don’t have with anyone else.” 

This is ironic, since other than a disjointed album eight years ago, the Mavericks had gone their separate ways. Through happenstance, serendipity, and a collective convergence of the cosmos, the band members found themselves entertaining the notion of some live shows for major festivals; then the idea of recording emerged.

Eight years had passed; they’d barely spoken, hadn’t been in the same room, hadn’t given the band more than a passing thought.

But the Mavericks have never been conventional. Indeed, with the passage of time, their legend has grown – and wherever the individual members went, the question of reuniting seemed to grow exponentially.

“I’d always dismissed the people who asked (about The Mavericks) as just holding on to the past,” laughs Malo. “A moment in their lives, some notion that was more fantasy than fact. But the years passed, I kept making music and they never died – those questions.” Malo, the man who feared re-treading what had once been began to rethink whether there was more music to be made.

“It’s funny,” says Perez, who has made music with Chris Shiflett of the Foo Fighters, Dwight Yoakam, Miranda Lambert, George Straight, Lee Ann Womack, and Raul as a solo artist, “it was a maybe to some touring dates, and then what was a few shows turned into, ‘Hey, maybe let’s make a record.’ It just snow-balled, because I think everyone of us lives to make music, and together, we all know it’s like nothing else.”

The time apart has also strengthened everyone’s musicality.

“I expected everybody to play their asses off,” Malo confesses. “That they’d step in like men and make music. And they did. ”

What Malo doesn’t say is that the band did zero pre-production. He was on tour in Europe. Other band members had commitments. Everybody simply showed up and allowed things to happen.

Harvesting a sea of influences – from Dean Martin to the Sir Douglas Quintet, from Hank Williams and  Ray Price to tangos, polkas, and Ravel’s “Bolero” – this album  is as bold as it was exciting to record. Or, as Perez laughs, “It’s so many genres… if you had to call it something, I guess it would have to be ‘inclusive’.”

“I think it took 30 seconds,” Malo says of the band’s inherent chemistry. “We started playing, and it just happened. It was that explosion of sounds! There’s this beautiful simplicity to this, because when we play together, we know each other so well.”

“There was a sense anything could go wrong at any moment,” Deakin concurs. “So there was this immediacy – and this notion of really being ‘in’ it. Raul didn’t let us hear the songs on purpose, so we were all really listening, really paying attention because we didn’t know what was going to happen."

Paul Deakin outlines the band’s album history: “Crying Shame was our first real recording session in Nashville with major producers, but it remained the ‘raw us’,” said Deakin. “Music for All Occasions was recorded in the basement of Sony Publishing, and Trampoline was a massive live production.  In Time feels really, really good. Like when we were making music in the warehouse back in Hialeah (FL). In the end, we went all the way back: we’re like a garage band behind that voice.” 

For all the polish and sophistication, sold out shows at the UK’s Royal Albert Hall, cultural blurring and tours of South America and Europe, United States and Canada, The Mavericks are, indeed, a post-punk band with deep retro-fittings from Miami’s indie scene. That existing beyond the lines is why the lush ‘50s stroll of  “That’s Not My Name” is as comfortable as the jukin’ “As Long As There’s Lovin’ Tonight,” the stoic tenderness of “In Another’s Arms,” or the epic build-and-recede “Call Me When You Get To Heaven,” featuring the legendary McCrary Sisters, which went down in one take.

“I see this as a record everyone’s invited to,” Malo explains. “It’s a mix of different rhythms, different places and times. From rednecks to Cubans, Mexicans to gringos to WASPs – you can imagine this band pulling into a country festival and playing ‘Dance In The Moonlight’” – and everybody dances. It’s taking people to new places, but knowing it’s all one world.”

“We constantly struggle with the definition of mainstream,” explains Reynolds. “There were moments obviously when we were ‘in’ it, but it’s more the mainstream embracing us from where we exist on the musical fringes. But rather than being something we’re not, we’ve always stayed true – and by being square pegs, we also probably reflect America, because America’s roots are a melting pot.”

Reynolds continues, “listen to Raul’s writing: that strength and passion! He paints a larger universe. Big love, big loss, big joy – and party, live! It’s exciting musically, but it’s tricky because it can feel joyous, but sometimes it’s actually this really big pain.”

“Raul’s ability to write a simple lyric,” Deakin states, “reflects the mass of humanity, even though it’s one man. When you add his voice, and that sense of melody, it moves people.”

On the new album, “Amsterdam Moon” celebrates the sensual jolt of being alive. Even the Spaghetti Western-inspired “Come Unto Me” ripples with drama, as Malo’s voice grows bolder and more epic in its bravado.

Keyboardist Jerry Dale McFadden, who started with the band in '93, says, “The new music results in a magic that happens when we play together. You don’t recognize that our work was labored over. No, instead, we make it look like it’s music that we just started playing.” McFadden believes In Time will be applauded by old fans and will likely attract a new audience as well. “We made a great record, and there are plenty of folks who will discover this music and vibe for the first time.”

“This is a very masculine record,” Malo says. “There’s a little bravado in there, I’ll say that. It’s the bullfighter with the flower in his mouth, but it’s also about men… and women… and how different we are, but how much we want and desire each other.”

Getting back to being what they are underscores everything about The Mavericks’ return to form – the ferocity of their playing, the singularity of their intent – and yes, the copious sense of exuberance that infuses every note of the album. 

“Our relentless pursuit of fun and our selfish notion of pleasing ourselves has always driven us,” Deakin concedes. “But pleasing ourselves creatively has also always worked for us, creating an immediacy that makes us true to the songs. We don’t create for a niche or a genre, but to capture the spirit – and that’s always been our strong point.”

“When we were the new kids, there was this excitement,” Reynolds continues. “Maybe even a naiveté that came off as brash, but we were always sincere. We were never trendy, because we weren’t chasing anything. Maybe we were rebels because we were different… But I think people realize now, this is who we are, what we do. It’s not hipster, it’s who we are.”

“The fans have always understood us,” says Raul.  “We made them feel good – and that was something then, as now I think, people wanted. Life is so serious; even for a moment, let’s forget and enjoy!”

“One of the best parts of our relationship with our new label Valory Music is that Scott (Borchetta, Big Machine Label Group CEO) understands what makes us what we are. He was there when we were happening, and he was very supportive! No one at the label wanted to put handcuffs on us. They just wanted a Mavericks record… and I think we gave them one.”
