OKeh short history: 

OKeh was founded by Otto K. E. Heinemann when he set up his own recording studio and gramophone record pressing plant in New York City in September 1918. Heinemann formed the name of the record label "OKeh", from his initials.  OKeh began by issuing popular songs, dance numbers, and vaudeville skits similar to the fare of other labels, but Heineman also wished to experiment with music for audiences neglected by the larger record companies. OKeh produced lines of recordings in German, Czech, Polish, Swedish, and Yiddish for the USA's immigrant communities. In 1920, Ralph Peer's recordings by African-American blues singer Mamie Smith were a surprise smash hit for Okeh. The company perceived the significant, little-tapped market for blues and jazz by African American artists. Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Bix Beiderbecke are only a few names of jazz greats that have recorded for the label. By 1926 Columbia Records bought the label and kept it running into the 60's with jazz and R&B recordings. 

In 1994, Sony Music reactivated the OKeh label as a new-age Blues label. Okeh's first new signings included Keb' Mo, Popa Chubby, and Little Axe. By 2000, the Okeh label was again retired, but in 2013 it will see its re-launch as a jazz label once again.

Much like songbird Edith Piaf, Madeleine Peyroux spent her teenage years busking the busy streets of Paris. Just like the ‘little sparrow’, Madeleine befriended the city’s street musicians and made its Latin quarter her first performing stage. Years later, Peyroux would cite iconic Piaf as an influence on her music and record a rendition of the classic La Vie En Rose, soulfully capturing the tune’s romanticism and melancholy.
 
Born in Athens, Georgia in 1974, Madeleine “grew up in a house filled with music” and from an early age “instinctively realised music’s soothing power” but it was her teenage years in the French capital that turned the childhood notion into an all-consuming vocation for life.

Young Madeleine moved to Paris with her mother in 1987 following her parents divorce. “To soothe me during the upheaval”, she recalls, “I was given a guitar and took to playing in the streets almost immediately.”

Thirty years after her formative busking days Peyroux is the proud curator of nine beguiling albums and an accomplished performer with sell out worldwide tours under her belt. Her atmospheric version of Serge Gainsborough’s La Javanaise was used in the soundtrack of Oscar Winner The Shape of Water and her countless accolades
include the coveted BBC International Artist Of The Year honour.
 
Madeleine’s thirst for creative exploration is unfading and her willingness to face creative challenges remains as solid now as it was three decades ago.

With endearing passion and great curiosity the unstoppable genre-defying virtuoso continues her search for the good and examines life with the treasured William Congreve belief that Music has charms to soothe the savage beast.
 
Madeleine might attribute her success to “mostly luck” but to the industry and loyal fans alike, it is the immense talent and utter dedication to her craft that shines through.
“Peyroux is a tremendous talent and almost a total intuitive” reflects Larry Klein, “she has the capacity to get the magic. When she sings and plays her guitar, great things happen.”

Following good tunes for life

Originally from south Brazil, my love for music started very early in life. Mom used to love listening to music while carrying me, as an adolescent I used to help out my older brother with his set up for parties and installing sound systems in cars. Used to love and still do BASS TEST's  "Taca le pau Marco Veio".
As life went on things changed, now living in Melbourne I still pursue this love.

Italian born producer/dj, Manuel De Le Mare has spent the past years delivering money-shot releases and remixes, whilst marrying a lifetime of passion and dedication to his love of DJing. This ability within his musical sphere has pricked the interest of global artists like Adam Beyer, Jamie Jones, Fatboy Slim, Mark Knight, Calvin Harris, Solardo, Green Velvet. Whilst leading Beatport to bestow him the award of ‘Best Remixer of the Year’, a suitable follow up on his nomination for ‘Best Deep House and Techno Artist’.

With his music growing in stature on ever release, the demand with his bookings has not been far behind. Already a familiar face at global venues like Ministry of Sound in London, Womb in Tokyo, Space Ibiza, Amnesia Miami and Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland and Global Gathering. Manuel has managed to procure a global fan base that has enabled him to perform his music throughout Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa, as well as North and South America.

His sound stretches somewhere between house and techno, whilst respectfully treading the line between commercial and credible underground.
The strength of his own recording label, which he runs with Luigi Rocca, is a testament to his intelligent foresight within his music. In the past ten years, 303lovers has find itself being earmarked by major players like Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin,  and Pete Tong among the others as a solid source of good quality electronic music.

The Strypes are 4-piece rhythm and blues band hailing from Cavan, Ireland, formed in 2011 by Ross Farrelly (lead vocals/harmonica), Josh McClorey (lead guitar/vocals), Pete O'Hanlon (bass guitar/harmonica) and Evan Walsh (drums).

The group has spent the past 18 months launching their explosive R&B assault on the clubs and festivals of Ireland, the UK and Europe, viciously hammering out a no-nonsense blues repertoire drawing from the songbooks of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Slim Harpo and more with the passion and venom of British blues groups such as Dr. Feelgood, The Yardbirds, The Rolling Stones and The Animals. 

Having already been met with critical acclaim from greats such as Jeff Beck and Paul Weller and been tipped by NME as the No. 1 new band to watch, it seems things can only get better for The Strypes.

Over the last decade and a half Las Vegas based punk band Happy Campers has released 6 albums, toured all over the country, and been the sound track to 100s of TV shows and Movies. So chances are, even if you haven’t heard of Happy Campers... you have probably heard Happy Campers.

Happy Campers came on to the scene in 1996 with a hard hitting West Coast Skate Punk sound, an energetic and entertaining live show, and a singer in Isaac "Campa" Irvine who had a knack for writing songs that resonated with people. The band has survived and evolved through out the years.  Line up changes, near death experiences and exploding tour vans haven't been able to stop them.  The "Happy Campers" ship has weathered the storm and keeps on sailing...

Happy Campers has an impressive resume for a DIY band. They've sold over 10,000 CD’s through shows & online distribution, had over 200,000 views on their videos on YouTube and played over 500 shows across the USA. Happy Campers have rocked Warped Tour, Tony Hawk’s Big Skate Park Tour, Rock the Vote w/ Pennywise, SnowCore Tour w/ Alien Ant Farm, The Hard Rock Joint w/ Offspring, Las Vegas’ Red White & Boom with The Vandals and MC Hammer. The've opened for NOFX, AFI, The Atari’s, Unwritten Law, and No Use for a Name; just to name a few.  Happy Campers have had hundreds of music placements that include; MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, HGTV, Fox Sports Net, Adrenaline TV, Bumfights, MTV Cribs featuring Tony Hawk & Bam Margera; and even a cameo in the horror movie “Coons, Bandits of the Night!” 

In late 2011 Happy Campers became a 4 piece adding a lead guitarist.  It has added a new found energy and level of musicianship to a band that has always been known for great vocals and song writing. Three part harmonies and haunting vocal melodies layered over guitar solos, bass breakdowns, and pounding drums led them into the studio with Producer Ryan Greene (NOFX, Lagwagon, Megadeth), to record their 6th studio release titled "Dancing with Demons!"
