~DJ Nu-Mark

HOT PLATE RECORDS IS SET TO RELEASE DJ NU-MARK’S DEBUT ALBUM, BROKEN SUNLIGHT, ON DECEMBER 11, 2012.

Broken Sunlight houses the entire limited edition 10” series and brand new DVD.

DJ Nu-Mark delivers a jaw dropping collection of heartfelt music. After three years of brainstorming, experimenting and collaborating, his debut release, Broken Sunlight is set for release December 11th, 2012.

On inviting his favorite emcee’s, singers and musicians to create a genre cross talent laden gem of a record. DJ Nu-Mark says “I wanted create an album that contained songs I would play out as a DJ. Broken Sunlight incorporates a wide selection of genres while remaining rooted in Soul. I truly enjoyed re-visiting raw Hip Hop with Bumpy Knuckles, J-Live and Large Professor. I felt it was important to work with up and coming mc's Tiron, Ayomari and Haas who gave the album a refreshing outlook on relationships as well. What made the album diverse and unique was my collaboration with Quantic and Laudir de Oliveira in two very energetic Latin joints featuring amazing musician from around the world. Hearing the synergy between Aloe Blacc and Charles Bradley really rounded out the album/series in a cohesive way, true to my soulful production. So happy to share this record with you!”

As a member of the critically acclaimed, gold-selling Hip-Hop outfit, Jurassic 5, DJ Nu-Mark graced the group with precision production and cutting edge stage routines. He’s also appeared on countless TV Shows with J5 including David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel and Craig Ferguson.

All of the limited edition 10” vinyl album tracks are consolidated on the full-length version of Broken Sunlight with a brand spanking new track you can’t get anywhere else, “Tough Break.” In addition to all that goodness, Broken Sunlight will include a DVD, Nu-Conduit, which featured DJ Nu-Mark’s world travels, behind the scenes making of the album and performances of the legendary Toy Set.

The Legacy Continues. Tony Touch A.K.A Tony Toca continues to be a force to be reckoned with. Tony Touch, an icon in Hip Hop and in the Urban Hispanic genre plus seasoned player in the game, is a true innovator and has revolutionized the DJ game over and over. From his legendary mix tapes, to his skills on the 1’s and 2’s, he has become one of Hip Hop’s most recognized DJ’s. This C.E.O/Artist/Producer is now currently working on his 7th commercial release titled “The Piece Maker 3…Return of the 50 MC’s” and is expected to make history once again. Tony Touch began as a B-Boy during the rap music renaissance era of the early 80’s. Heavily influenced by pioneers like the Rock Steady Crew, Grandmaster Flash, Red Alert,”Little” Louie Vega, and Jam Master Jay, he quickly shifted his interests towards the turntables. Toca is known for his legendary mix tapes like the original 50 MC’s parts 1, 2 and 3. Included in this series are some of the hottest artist in the game such as KRS ONE, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Wyklef, M.O.P, Big L, Mos Def and many more all coming together for one collective piece. This along with the countless other mix tapes, Tony became recognized in the streets and industry as the real ‘Mix tape King’
Tony Toca evolved his mix tapes to record releases. In 2000, Tony released “The Piece Maker” on Tommy Boy records. This album sold over 400,000 units worldwide and featured legendary artists like Big Pun, Cypress Hill, Wu Tang Clan, Busta Rhymes, Eminem, Gang Starr, and much more. The single “I Wonder Why” featuring Total video featured cameos from John Leguizamo, Rock Steady and more. Since then, Tony Touch has released the “Piece Maker 2” which also had an all-star line up with features such as P. Diddy, Fat Joe, Sean Paul, Snoop Dog and even the legendary Ruben Blades.
Toca is also known to represent the Latino community to the fullest. It is the result of growing up with Salsa at home and Hip-Hop influence in his lifestyle. In 2005 Tony inked a deal with EMI records and revolutionized the game once more with his Latin album called “ReggaeTony”. The hit single, “Play that Song” featured Nina Sky and B- Real of Cypress Hill . The cd had an all star line up including Tego Calderon, Ivy Queen, Zion y Lennox, N.O.R.E, Voltio, and Soni just to name a few. The album went GOLD and with that success, EMI records moved quickly to release ReggaeTony 2 which featured more heavyweight appearances.
Touch continues to be in demand globally. The proof is in the passport as he has toured over 30 countries including Japan, Australia, Puerto Rico, London, France, Greece, Russia, Brazil, Germany, Columbia, Switzerland, Italy and Cuba. He’s also acted as tour dj for acts like Cypress Hill, Gurus’s Jazzmatazz, Rock Steady and the Beatnuts. You also may have caught Tony on TV shows such as “Saturday Night Live” and “The Dave Chapelle Show” spinning for Eminem. Don’t forget the radio waves you might have heard him on in New York such as Hot 97, Power 105, and WBLS. In 2004, Eminem and manager Paul Rosenberg closed a deal for their own radio station on Sirius XM Satellite called Shade 45. Tony Touch was quickly recruited to host TOCA TUESDAYS from 8pm to Midnight. TOCA TUESDAYS is also a weekly CLASSIC Hip Hop party in which TT invites legendarty dj’s to guest spin.
Another WEEKLY party he sparked was the FUNKBOX where he plays deep house music with celeb guest dj’s. Both parties have been running over 4 years strong….

Much Love,
Tha Bodega Fam

Linda Mañana; A Musical Biography of Ondatropica: Mix by Quantic & Mario Galeano
http://univisionnews.tumblr.com/post/28014871482/ondatropica-colombia-supergroup-buena-vista

Ondatropica is a musical collaboration lead by Mario Galeano and Will Holland. The foundation of the project was laid in a three week recording session at the legendary Discos Fuentes in Medellin, Colombia. It was there that over 40 musicians came together to revisit, revive and celebrate tropical music of the country.

An 'Onda' is a soundwave, a charge of sonic energy projected out into the atmosphere. Musical explosions like Ondatropica don't come out of nowhere, each participant of Ondatropica has their own history and experience contributing to the whole. This mix celebrates the music of the individuals that make up the Ondatropica collective and the diversity of Latin America's tropical music scene. The mix features the music of Peregoyo y su Combo Vacana, Flowering Inferno, Residuo Solido, Afrosound, Grupo Canalon, Esteban Copete y su Kinteto Pacifico, Michi Sarmiento, Frente Cumbiero, Anibal Velasquez, Romperayo, Pedro Ramaya Beltran, Piano Negro, El Combo de Pepe, Alfredito Linares, Ray Perez and the Meridian Brothers!
