Those of you who are born in the early or mid fifties may still know the band Osibisa who were one of the first groups that brought ethnical influences in rock music (Carlos Santana once played as a supporting act for them in the late sixties!!!). Have a look what Teddy Osei (the leader of that great band) posted on my site on
Well it made me very happy and a bit proud at the same time when I read the post.

I have been a quiet guy lately, keeping my head down trying to finish a full length Dub Step album. But, here is a modern day trance track that, dare I say, is not overly trancey. A much harder beat and much edgier than typical trance tracks.
The song is called Valentines and was written on Valentines Day in Bangkok, Thailand.
Enjoy and feel free to let me know how you feel about it. Don't forget to follow on Facebook if you like the work I'm putting out~ Cheers!

Panda Transport is set to release Monorail, the follow up to Plush Mechanique, which was featured on Grey’s Anatomy. After the success of their debut album, Panda Transport is back with a new EP and has inked a new distribution deal with Independent Distribution Collective for distribution in the U.S. In addition to the new EP and distribution deal, Panda Transport is set to tour the US in the spring and summer.
Think of Monorail as a collection of auditory snapshots capturing the moments, places and ideas of NOW. As Thierry says "The music is smooth and light hearted, surrounded by natural noises...it was recorded windows opened, to put the light and sounds of the places where we did it on the recording, to remember when and where it was done."
From the car-door-slamming kick drum sample of “Up the Disco”, to the sampled cicadas in “Cicadas in Stereo” from the forest outside Kathy’s yurt, Monorail is a unique combination of the outer and inner spaces of Kathy’s and Thierry’s lives. By abandoning their tendency towards perfection and embracing the moment, they created songs which are immediate, personal, and poppy while retaining the curious experimentation and playfulness so often edited out in today’s music.
Monorail is fun to listen to – a six song mini vacation into the Panda Transport sound. Acoustic and Electric, spontaneous yet impeccably produced, retro pop tinges with futuristic production, Monorail is a triumph of the moment, and of cross cultural collaboration - American and European sensibilities combined into a fantastic creation that is Panda Transport. Their sound is fully self aware and the stronger for it.
Panda Transport was conceived in 2006 by Kathy Compton and Thierry Holweck. After meeting and becoming friends via the internet, pen pal style, they began to record material for their debut album, Plush Mechanique. Kathy wanted to be a pussycat, a witch, or an astronaut: Thierry, alone in a boat or a Shepard in the alps. She became a chanteuse and writer of jazz and pop: he, a punk electro-experimental musician and virtual faders master. They are polar opposites drawn together by their shared desire desire to explore the unknown. Their meeting was a twist of fate. Their musical creations are a twist of cultures, experiences, influences and personalities. Their debut, Plush Mechanique, featured the single “Transmission” which was featured on Greys Anatomy.

As part of Mi2N's continuing efforts to make its services available to more artists/musicians, the company will begin offering the purchase of its Mi2N press release distribution services in the form of gift certificates for the upcoming holiday season. The decision to do so was quite logical, partially due to Mi2N's popularity as well as the current economic climate.
Ideal for artists and labels, as well as supporting promoters and agencies, the Mi2N Music PR service provides guaranteed press release placements through a network of newswires, eGroups, blog communities, boards and forums, as well as MP3 and video distribution. In addition to guaranteed PR placement, the packages provide exposure through the Mi2N website, and multiple other sources with target based distribution. Through Mi2N's penetration in the music industry as well as its diverse and substantial delivery network, your giftee's PR announcement will be seen by prospective fans, promoters, labels - everyone who's anyone in the music industry.
"You can be the best artist/musician in the world, but if you aren't able to get news out about your music, upcoming releases, or performances to music industry professionals, it really doesn't matter. Waiting to be discovered based on talent alone is like trying to find a needle in a haystack," de Fontenay continued. "There are lots of talented artists who know that visibility and exposure are critical to their success. It's what separates them from the rest. They have a better chance at being successful, not necessarily because they are more talented, but because they know that publicity is a need, not a luxury, and they make the investments accordingly to acquire as much exposure as possible. We're proud to play a role in making that happen."
If the person you love is a talented musician, then you probably know how hard they work on making their music the best it can be. This holiday season, you can help them to tell the world about it by giving them something they'll thank you for: a seasonal gift certificate for the Mi2N Music PR marketing service.
Mi2N gift certificates will be available for purchase beginning December 1st. Get yours at http://www.Mi2N.com/gift.php3.
