Multi-platinum recording star Akon launches hitlab.com - Hitlab breakout
artist Saschali signs to Akon's label Kon Live -
MONTREAL, March 23 /PRNewswire/ - Six-time Grammy nominated artist/producer
and entrepreneur AKON hosted an exclusive VIP event today to announce the
launch of Hitlab, the newest destination for emerging artists to improve their
music and be discovered. During the press conference, Akon also announced that
he signed Hitlab artist Saschali to a recording contract with his distribution
company KON LIVE, after seeing her perform at Hitlab's first showcase held
last September in Montreal. Saschali is now the first HITLAB.COM artist to
sign such a contract.
After the press conference, Akon and the founders of Hitlab demonstrated a
special artificial intelligence software called Dynamic Hit Scoring (DHS),
which is proprietary to Hitlab. The groundbreaking technology can predict if a
song has the potential to be a hit by breaking it down into several variables
such as pitch and tempo, and comparing the structure of the song to the Top
100 Billboard(R) hits of the past six years.
Artists can have their songs evaluated by Hitlab's artificial intelligence
algorithm and get discovered anywhere in the world. A highlight of the
showcase was the participation of Janne Saar from Estonia who three weeks
after submitting a song and obtaining a score of 96%, got invited to Montreal
to perform in front of Akon at tonight's event. Hitlab offers an opportunity
for artists anywhere in the world to get discovered, produced and distributed
by having their songs analyzed by Hitlab's digital music site.
"Hitlab allows artists to be able to be their own label rep, showcase their
own music, it is the ultimate dream..." says Akon.
"The Hitlab concept is to create a community where the best emerging artist
can be connected directly to the Hitlab fan base all over the world." Says
Eddie Wenrick President and CEO of Hitlab. "Hitlab classifies songs in six
different genres of music. Fans can access the top songs rated by Hitlab on a
continuous basis in every genre of music." Says Wenrick.
To be successful in the current transformation in the music industry record
labels will have to simplify and facilitate access to the best content. Hitlab
strives to identify and seek out the best artists around the world who deserve
to be recorded.
The activities concluded with an exclusive showcase featuring top Hitlab
artists Saschali, Pamela, Janne, Melissa, and Alan Trader. All the artists
performing tonight had songs that scored in the top 12% of their various
musical categories.

Saschali was born in Pembroke, Ontario. She grew up at the outskirts of Algonquin Park, land of whitewaters and adventure, were she felt caged in and knew that she needed to get out of this small country town if she were to reach her full potential as a success full song writer/singer. Knowing that she was wise beyond her years at the age of 16 she moved out on her own to experience the world and gain as much life experience as she needed to become the woman she had no choice to become at such a young age. Determined to control her own destiny, she decides one day to break loose of her home town and move to the big city of Montreal.
Knowing all about chasing a dream, she successively falls in love with the city, and adores the nightlife. After drifting a few months, she starts working at trendy bars - as a shooter girl then as a barmaid. During five years, she plunges at the heart of Montreal’s exuberant and colorful night scene.
She already knows producers, DJs and upcoming musicians, makes her first inroads into music and fills up her address book. Through a friend, Derek, a blues guitar player, she meets producers that carry weight at Soundbeat Records whose gates are soon wide open. Soon, she works with Sugar Sammy, DJ artist, singer and one of the hottest stand-up comedians on stage today! Sugar Sammy feels her talent right away. She starts performing with him as a backup vocal artist before huge audiences at events such as the Canadian Music Week 2002 in Toronto and Hip Hop Forever 2003 at the Metropolis, a well known concert venue in Montreal. During that period, she meets people who will affect her career like Germain Gauthier, a talented music producer, long-time friend of Luc Plamondon.
Through her engagements as an artist, the gorgeous young woman keeps on performing live on the club circuit. In 2004, she performs at the “Vibes”, then at the “Rex” with her new group the rap duo “Day By Day”. In 2005, she performs at the “Times” in Montreal and sings on R & B/hip-hop compilations recorded at Fly Music’s studios. After years of hard work, she suddenly feels the need for a break. On a whim, she buys a ticket bound for Fort Lauderdale. She works a few months in creative reappraisal at a snappy beachside joint, the “Beachbums”.
« When you really believe in something, suddenly it becomes possible. I know people who are there for the money. But I don’t care… I care about music! And passion! I do what I love. And if it doesn’t work out, I’ll still believe in it... » (Saschali Brunette, September 2006)
Back in Montreal in January 2006, Saschali meets a longtime friend, Germain Gauthier. They begin updating each other on their careers. Impressed, Germain introduces Saschali to Pierre Gauthier, his cousin, chairman of Fly Music. Under the spell of her music, Pierre decides to ride along. Then things moved on really fast … She worked successively with the likes of Philip Appallo, Sammy Moughlan (Bandit Studio). Recently, Saschali has been very much involved with Eddie Wenrick (Kiss, Zappa, Beach Boys...) and Bob Jamieson (ex-boss of BMG Music and RCA Music).
But the best is still to come. Thanks to her story-telling voice, the quality of her flow and her clever wordplay, Saschali is surrounded by brilliant musicians who believe in her. Since March,06 she worked with artists such as Akon, Elephant man and producer Sonny Black (Corneille, K-Maro, Corneille…). Saschali’s first solo album will be released through major label, Interscope Universal records in the U,S late 2009.

Sambuca surely shows more the deep, melodic but very stylish side of Deep House music whereas Klangfrequenz' remix of E-Wozz' original track Gwada is a more pumpy and drum orientated display of playful Tech House. Watch out for these tracks, it's a great way to release the warm summer feelings once more before the winter delivers the opposite!
