"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell."  Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press

Today I would like to let you know about two print magazines in Germany I'm writing for.

"Living Line Dance", reporting about line dance and country music, and "Folk Magazine", reporting about folk and country music. The magazines are high respected in Europe. They offer you a good chance to publicize yourself in Europe and Germany.

For more information, please contact me at MySpace or send email to Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de with the headline "Advertise at Living Line Dance and Folk Magazine".

Warm regards

Electric Ethics (which is responsible for many of the most interesting electronic music-events last year), in collaboration with the Neo-Collective Movement (Nýja Samvinnuhreyfingin) and the electric-funhouse: Jacobsen (Austurstræti) – invites you to an exciting feast of music and visual effects: 1st of august - 22:00 o..clock (Verzlunarmannahelgin).

The Icelandic Electric-Green driven juggernauts: Stereo Hypnosis – are going to introduce their new upcoming album: “Hypnogogia”, which will be realized later in middle of august!

the album was recorded – more and less – totally inspired by Jules Vernes and his book: Voyage au Centre de la Terre, and the Icelandic – unbound nature.

What we can expect on this special night – besides Stereo Hypnosis;

Gjoll – who are going to introduce new material on their upcoming album;

AMFJ – who recently released his cassette-tape "Itemhljóð & Veinan" – and Wc Einar Krautzwel – he will also take care of the nights.. live music – plus many more exciting acts in this program of grandeur.

Entry is 1000 (Krónur) – appetizer is included (in courtesy of Mekka).

Details about the program can be found at:

myspace.com/electronicethics

myspace.com/stereohypnosis

and on Facebook – as well
