Dutch DJ/Producer Bart Claessen Single “Showtime” Out On April 30th

One of Bart Claessen’s recent tracks, “Showtime” will be released via Radikal Records in the US and Canada on April 30th.

“Showtime” is one of Bart Claessen’s latest tracks and his first to come out on the Radikal Records imprint. Progressive, big room house mixed with modern electro is the formula for this track. Aggressive and bold, “Showtime” is sure to be a dance floor smasher on any house set.

The single will be released by Radikal Records digitally in the US and Canada, available on iTunes, Beatport and other streaming services on April 30th. In addition, “Showtime” is currently available on the Radikal Records website (http://radikal.com).

A supplier of a diverse scope of EDM styles and a master of them all, Bart Claessen has established himself as one of The Netherlands’ most intuitive and musically versatile producers. With his very first track (2001’s “On The Move”) he scored national top 10 hits in over 10 countries. Most recently releases like “Fantomah” and “King Of Kongs” have seen his music pop on the playlists of more house-orientated DJs. Through a litany of club hits (“Playmo,” “Elf,” “Hartseer,” “First Light” and numerous others) his music has fed floors with one seismic moment after another.

As a DJ of dexterous skill (not to mention repute), over the last decade he has spun in the proverbial A to Z of club capitals. Ranked among them have been Creamfields, ASOT, Full on Ferry, Ministry of Sound, GodsKitchen, Amsterdam Dance Event and dozens of others. His list of remix credits spans multiple electronic music genres. It has included reworks of music by Above & Beyond, Funk D’Void, Ferry Corsten & Guru, Chocolate Puma, Tiësto & BT, Meck and many more. With the release of his artist album on the horizon, expect more from Bart Claessen in the very near future.

Waiting List For New Gummibär Plush Toys Started

Gummybear International, owners of the Gummibär brand and the animated singing and dancing gummy bear character, have launched a waiting list for their new Gummibär plush toys. Those signed up on the waiting list located at http://gummibar.net and http://gummybearshop.com will be notified by email as soon as the new toys are in stock.

In response to popular demand about news regarding the arrival of new Gummibär plush toys, Gummybear International has created a waiting list for fans who are eager to get their hands on the new singing dolls. Fans who sign up for the official Gummibär Plush Toy Waiting List will be notified via email as soon as the new toys are available. The sign up form for the waiting list can be found on Gummibär’s Official Website, http://gummibar.net and his official ecommerce shop at http://gummybearshop.com

The singing plush toys are by far Gummibär’s most popular merchandise item. Unfortunately, due to an overwhelming demand during last year’s holiday season, the plush toys sold out, and their web store, http://gummybearshop.com, has been out of stock on the doll since the beginning of 2013.

However, Gummybear International has been working hard to develop a new and improved version of the plush toy. The new Gummibär plush toys are a little bit bigger, hold a much better likeness to the Gummibär character and of course will still sing “The Gummy Bear Song” when you squeeze the tummy. As of now, Gummybear International estimates that the new plush toys will arrive in approximately 6 – 8 weeks.

The Gummibär YouTube channel also ranks as the 27th most viewed musician of all-time and is the 67th most viewed channel of all-time.

MC Mario New Single “Lose My Mind” Feat. Stephane Moraille To Be Released In US

MC Mario’s latest single entitled “Lose My Mind (Dance Dance)” Feat. Stephane Moraille will be released by Radikal Records in the US. The main radio edit and several remixes will be available on iTunes, Beatport and other music streaming services April 16th.

MC Mario’s reputation is already made in Canada; he is the number one DJ/Producer in the country. The sales of his compilations, the popularity of his radio shows, and the number of fans that come hear him mix, confirms this status.

His latest single, “Lose My Mind (Dance Dance)” featuring singer Stephane Moraille is due out in the US on Radikal Records April 16th. The complete single package includes the main radio edit plus 5 remixes and will be available on iTunes, Beatport and other major music streaming services. Eager fans can preview and purchase the single right now, exclusively on the Radikal Records website (http://radikal.com).

These last couple of years, MC Mario has imposed himself on the international scene with productions that have lead him to new summits. With multiple nominations at the Juno Awards for Best Dance Record Of The Year, he is back with a collaboration that will quickly become a favorite to international radio DJs. “Lose My Mind” brings out the warm and strong vocals of Stéphane Moraille (the voice behind “Drinkin’ in L.A.” by Bran Van 3000). This is a true comeback for Stéphane who had not stepped inside a studio since the release of her solo album “Florida Water” released in 2008. “Lose My Mind (Dance Dance)” is a true gem for the dance floors, inciting the party in all of us to come out, allowing us get lost in the sound of the DJ and escape from the everyday life. It is an anthem for life, love, and the party spirit.

Hall of fame member of the Canadian Dance Music scene, MC Mario has sold over 3.5 million albums, distributed by Universal Music. His radio shows Mixdown and House Party can be heard on Virgin Radio 96 airwaves in Montreal; and are also broadcasted in 25 cities in Canada, in the US, the West Indies, Portugal, Australia, Greece, Cyprus, in Brazil, and in the Cayman Islands. MC Mario’s most recent success “Rockstar, I’m Ready” (with the voice of Rosette), “American Dream,” and “My Generation” (featuring Datude) all made it to the top of the charts, and did well internationally with releases in France, Germany, and in the US.

Stéphane Moraille makes a return to her roots with this new collaboration, and is very happy to reconnect with MC Mario whom she’s known since the beginning of the 90’s club scene, which made Montreal a hub for dance music in the international scene.

As well as having actively participated in the success of Bran Van 3000, and winning a Juno and 2 Félix Awards, Stéphane has collaborated with the Coach Potatoes, Steve Bear Sas, and has sold over 1.25 million albums. Stéphane will be making a few club appearances at festivals this summer, next to her new accomplice MC Mario.

Queen Of Bass Ayah Marar Releases First US Single “Go Hard” Today

Ayah Marar’s latest single “Go Hard” is available today on iTunes via Radikal Records (http://radikal.com).

Ayah Marar’s debut album “The Real,” released in the UK last year, has propelled her to the forefront of the bass music scene. Championed by the likes of Q Magazine (four stars), Dazed Digital, Vibe, Mixmag, Timeout and The Sun who have labelled her the “Queen Of Bass,” it’s clear that Ayah’s army of supporters is ever growing.

Now for the first time, Ayah will see her latest single “Go Hard” released in the US and Canada via Radikal Records. The single is available on iTunes and the Radikal website (http://radikal.com) today. The single is accompanied by two remixes from Destro and Ellington and coincides with the debut of a band new, action packed, superhero-esque animated music video.

“Go Hard” should serve as a terrific introduction for Ayah to EDM music fans all over the North American continent, with more singles and a full release of “The Real” to come in the summer of 2013 via Radikal Records.

Ayah isn’t one to shy away from her love for the club and admits that raving is engraved in her soul. “Go Hard” pays homage to her dance floor roots and its bashy, bold nature oozes with the Jordan-born girl’s infectious attitude. Featuring close friend and fellow tour companion Illaman, “Go Hard” is packed with buoyant percussion and a sensually smooth bassline.

To say Ms. Marar has been busy would be an understatement. Since the start of the year Ayah’s been awarded “Best Female Artist” at The National Drum & Bass Awards, she’s started her own show on BBC Radio 1xtra, toured Europe, and recently signed a deal with US record label, Radikal Records. If all that wasn’t enough, Ayah still finds time to run her own label, Hussle Girl, which continues to open doors for new, aspiring artists.

Ayah has also been enjoying the incredible response to her album track with Calvin Harris, “Thinking About You,” which went to #1 in the Hype Machine last year. Ayah and Calvin’s friendship can be traced far back and their fans will be extremely excited to hear that they’re getting back in the studio together very soon.

New EP From A Genuine Freakshow To Hit US And Canada Via OK! Good Records On April 9th

A Genuine Freakshow’s latest EP, “Where The River Bends,” will be released on April 9th in digital format via OK! Good Records.

On April 9th, UK seven-piece, A Genuine Freakshow, will see their latest EP “Where The River Bends” released in the US and Canada via OK! Good Records on iTunes, Amazon and other music streaming services. The 4 track EP is also available right now on the OK! Good Records website, streaming for free or purchasable as a digital download.

A Genuine Freakshow is an artful blend of pop sensibility, icy soundscapes and blistering walls of noise. Their sound, while impressively focused, covers a range of musical staples, with the group letting influences from Mew to Sigur Ros and The National surface throughout.

Their songs capture quirky and catchy pop akin to Pulp in their pomp and grandeur – and even geeky charm. This ability to combine the poppy elements of indie rock whilst maintaining an intricate, delicate soul is what they do best. With a line-up that adds violin, cello and trumpet to the standard rock four-piece of guitar, bass, drums and vocals, their live shows are a demonstration in how to do epic without slipping into pompous.

After playing over 150 headline and festival shows since the release of debut album “Oftentimes” in late 2010 (later released by OK! Good Records in early 2012), April 2012 saw the band take a step away from the road and head to the studio with long-term collaborator and producer Jordan Fish to record a handful of new songs the band had written and been performing live over the previous summer.

Originally planned to be part of a new album, the songs on “Where The River Bends” ended up being a complete story on their own, so the band decided to release their first brand new music in almost three years.

About OK! Good Records:

OK! Good Records is an independent record label based in the New York City area. Founded in 2011 as an outlet for unconventional, evocative, and genre-defying music, OK! Good’s mission is to pluck talented artists from all corners of the global landscape and present them to the American public.
