Pink Floyd regains control of its online music sales

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 01:51:06 +0000

Pink Floyd tracks may be removed from digital music services like iTunes after a High Court ruling.

Their latest record deal, signed with EMI before legal downloads came along, said individual songs must not be sold without the band's permission.

They argued that the same rule should apply to digital sales as well as CDs.
EMI disagreed but a judge has sided with Pink Floyd. The ruling is part of a long-running battle between the two sides over �10m in unpaid royalties.

Six Greek BitTorrent Admins Arrested, Interpol Chase Two More

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:19:20 +0000

Following raids against a large file-sharing site in December 2009, police in Greece are engaged in an ongoing operation to close down the country’s largest BitTorrent site and arrest its operators. Thus far there have been six arrests, with Interpol chasing two further admins believed to be located in The Netherlands.

Although it wasn’t yet evident, December 2009 appeared to mark the beginning of an effort to shut down the Greek file-sharing scene. The Society for the Protection of Audiovisual Works (EPOE) conducted an investigation and moved in conjunction with the police to carry out the first action of its type against a file-sharing site in the country.

The 285,000 member Greek-Fun.com carried around 14,000 links to music, domestic and international movies, software and computers games. Around 5,500 of these are believed to have linked to material in the EPOE repertoire. As is usual with these cases, EPOE were quick to point to the financing of the site as an indication of criminal behavior. Like many sites, Greek-Fun offered benefits to users who donated to keep the site running although the admins denied profiteering.

Smashing Pumpkins Holding Auditions To Recruit Two New Members

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:57:55 +0000

�Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan is holding open auditions to recruit a new bassist and keyboardist.

The singer said the group were using the method following the success of their search for a new drummer last year.

“We were lucky enough to find drummer Mike Byrne through an open audition process so why not open the doors again to anyone who might be interested for the bass or keyboard position,” he said.

Corgan, who is the only remaining original member of the band, said “everyone” was welcome to apply for the audition.

“As you can see from our past and present, age, race, or a person’s background is not an issue,” he added.

You can apply for the positions via the following contact addresses: pumpkinsbass@gmail.com or pumpkinskeys@gmail.com.

�I decided to embark on a whole new extension of the re-edit idea looking at creating a number of brand new tracks out of components taken from older tunes� proper mash-ups. Some were born out of simple live jams that evolved into finely tuned studio creations, whilst others were ground-up rebuilds where I was effectively writing new pieces of music using samples from other tracks. There was no fixed way of working and no sacred cows that went un-plundered.� [Elite Force]

The long-awaited 'Revamped' album from mashup supremo Elite Force, is finally with us. With a list of Revamped artists that include Wolfgang Gartner, The Propellerheads, Plump DJs, Datsik, Vandal, Calvertron, Stanton Warriors, Meat Katie, Daniele Papini, Popof, Bar9, Bassbin Twins, Dylan Rhymes, Hatiras &Classixx (amongst many more), these re-workings are often closer to new productions than simple edits, a point made very eloquently by iDJ who observed that 'we have entered a whole new paradigm in mashupology' with the release of this album.

The buzz around Revamped has been immense, with 5 star reviews in many of the major magazines and blogs, radio support from Eddy Temple-Morris, Lauren Laverne, Kissy Sell-Out, Jay Cunning, The Loose Cannons, Rob Da Bank, Annie Nightingale and Nick Grimshaw, two #1s on Hypem with the Prevamped series of free downloads, a Beatport #1 for the first single 'Party Phenomenon' (within 48-hours of release), and a series of major headline slots worldwide that included massive shows at Breakfest (Perth), Burning Man (Nevada) and the Olympic Stadium (Sevilla) amongst many others!

"Thanks to Elite Force, we have entered a whole new paradigm in mashupology ... he has created a collection of numbers that sound like original compositions, such are the intricacies of his tailoring." [iDJ Magazine]
"From dubstep to tech-funk, this electrifying bunch of ace mash-ups mixed into a coherent, genre-traversing blend is a must-have" [DJ Magazine (album reviews)]
"This is one of the single most important, captivating and crucial mixes / album of the new decade" [InTheMix Magazine]
"Hands down the most powerful release at the turn of the new year." [Knowledge Magazine]
"The originator of the anti-genre DJ-style 'tech-funk' takes the realms of cross-genre production to another effortless high with Re:Vamped. In a nutshell, this kicks. 5/5" [Mixmag Reviews]
