Being named one of CURVE Magazine’s 2008 seven ENTERTAINERS OF THE YEAR was just the icing on the cake for Lori Michaels, whose career really took off in 2006, following her official “Coming Out” party at the House of Blues’ Club Worship in Atlantic City. It was a House of Blues first, and a turning point for Michaels in her evolution to in-demand solo artist and nationwide headliner with her head-turning Me & The Girls shows.
In a time when coming out has evolved from something equated with fear to something much more about freedom, Michaels has freed her artistic soul to deliver “Living My Life Out Loud.” – her debut album with Reform Records (available on Itunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, Verizon vcast and in select stores nationwide). It is a testament to, above all else, her love of the song – whether that means writing, arranging and performing the vocals (lead and backgrounds), showcasing her talents on the piano/keys, or overseeing production with the best in the business to leave listeners breathless.

Howard Tonkin is currently recording an album of electronic pop, with the working title of Personal Apocalypse. Tonkin has created a unique sound, blending catchy pop hooks with futuristic loop based electronic music, that defies categorization. Tonkin’s powerful male vocals are reminiscent of the new wave/new romantic British invasion of the 1980’s. Tonkin’s song writing is refreshing departure from the typical themes of love and loss, exploring themes of social expectation and self realization. Howard Tonkin Performing Sunday March 22, 2009.

In the late 90's latin mixes flourished with such acts as Gloria Estefan, Azucar Moreno, Proyecto Uno among others receiving dance reconstructions from such remixers as Pablo Flores,Ralphi Flores, and Hex Hector etc.. Since then it's been quite awhile since an original latin production has come along like Nelson Polanco's slammin' new single "Cana Dulce". For those that are yearning for a fresh and festive track then this latin tinged single is for you. The original is hip moving and sultry pop/salsa track that is even enhanced more with a powerful club mixes by Hex Hector and Tim Letteer. Yes, Grammy Award remixer Hex is back to form with a superb latin club mix that takes Nelson's melodic vocals on aural rollercoaster ride filled with pounding beats and vocal effects galore, very reminiscent to his nostalgic mixes from back in the day. For those that enjoyed remixer Tim Letteers' productions for previous Junior Vasquez releases, then your in for a treat as Tim delivers an equally delicious alternative fierce dark dubby mix with enough vocals to keep things moving along with Radio mixes for those that like things short & sweet. Nelson Polanco's new single is scorching with a great array of remixes that will keep your dancefloors moving.
