Vocalist Mia Martina will be in Chicago this July for a string of live performances.
Her new single, produced by Chicago’s own Jump Smokers, is out now on CP Records/EMI. It is the first single from her upcoming debut artist album “Devotion.”
“Working with Jump Smokers was amazing,” says Mia.”There are many other collaborations with Jump Smokers on ‘Devotion’ to look forward to as well,” she adds.
Martina’s big break came last year after recording the North American release of Edward Maya’s highly-successful “Stereo Love” on Ultra Records.
In a day where singles and remixes fly in-and-out of obscurity on a daily basis, it’s refreshing to hear a piece of work from a long-loved group like Above & Beyond in the trio’s “Group Therapy” artist album.
Three years in the making, Tony, Jono and Paavo take us on a spiritual journey of love, life and relationships in 15 songs reminiscent of Above & Beyond classics like “Can’t Sleep” and “No One on Earth.”
Do312 and the Northcoast Music Festival have announced the Northcoast Music Fest Toast of the Coast Contest.
DJs, producers and musicians are invited to post their work online at Do312.com, and three lucky winners will perform at the main stage of Northcoast 2011 on Labor Day weekend along with names like David Guetta, Fatboy Slim and Bass Nectar.
To enter, visit do312.com/ncmfcontest and upload an mp3, photo and short bio. Voting takes place July 1-15, at the end of which Do312 and the Northcoast crew will select the winners.
