Dancehall Recording Artist ABM Is Set To Boil Over The Charts!

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Hollywood, CA - DJ alert: the dance floor just got hotter ! Platinum Trini Entertainment recording artist ABM is power blasting the music scene as the newest addition to the swagga world of dancehall. His scorching debut release, “Dat Body Gyal,” featuring Konvick Muzik artist Qwes Kross, emerged as a fire-laced combustion that wickedly fused dancehall and soca, constructing a rhythm and beat so ferocious it automatically rotated all hips in listening distance! “Dat Body Gyal” sizzles with excitement and delivers just enough punch to propel ABM to the head of the class in his quest for total domination of the reggae world music scene.



“Dat Body Gyal” was just a luscious taste of ABM’s talent however. His EP release on December 6, 2011, “Don’t Hate Congratulate,” on Platinum Trini Entertainment/Bungalo/Universal Music Group Distribution, proves that this island man is no one-hit wonder. “Don’t Hate Congratulate” deliberately whirls and winds a hypnotic beat over spitfire lyrics, once again eliciting ABM’s apt ability to sway and swirl all bodies in close proximity.



Four tracks strong, “Don’t Hate Congratulate” mixes the enchantment of the islands with ABM’s charismatic delivery, transporting music lovers with sounds that simultaneously titillate the ears, hips and feet. Titled for all the haters, ABM quotes 50 Cent when he states about the project, “This is God’s plan homie, this ain’t mine.”



A native Trinidadian, ABM has the groove of the islands flowing through his veins. A detour to the states to attend Louisiana’s Grambling State University couldn’t detract him from what was inevitable however. The engineer major couldn’t ignore the melodies swirling in his soul. He relocated to the West Coast after graduation to pursue his passion for all things music.



A natural born leader, he soon established his own label, Platinum Trini Entertainment, alongside his partner and music artist, Tara. Ignoring again the inevitable, ABM went about establishing a roster of musical acts, not heeding the urge to put himself out there first. After a series of disappointments with budding artists, AMB finally realized that he was the act he was looking for. He regrouped and redirected his energy, taking the necessary steps to perfect his talent, honing and nurturing his skills as a writer, producer, rapper and singer.



CEO, artist and entrepreneur, ABM continues to foster the groove of his beloved island home. In addition to touring and club performances, he has launched his own internet radio station, Platinum Trini Hot 97 (http://www.live365.com/index.live), featuring a live morning show Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 am to 11:00 am Pacific Time, hosted by DJ UnieQ. He is also fervently working to bring the Trinidad Carnival to Hollywood, CA. His debut CD release “Overdue” on Platinum Trini Entertainment, with worldwide, digital and physical distribution in the U.S. and Canada on Bungalo/Universal Music Group Distribution, will drop early 2012 and a college campus tour is also in the works.



ABM and Platinum Trini Entertainment have also teamed up with the Caribbean entertainment group, Poundaz International to spearhead the “I AM SOCA” project, set for release January 17, 2012 on Platinum Trini Entertainment/Bungalo/Universal Music Distribution. “I AM SOCA” is a compilation album comprised of some of the hottest Soca grooves, collaborations and jams and was created to elevate the sweet sounding essence of the Caribbean’s beloved SOCA music and its artists on a more international platform. “I AM SOCA” will be diversified with the sounds and styles of Soca music from around the Caribbean, including Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Barbados and of course Trinidad and Tobago.

MusicDishTV Presents “The Wind” by Dream Chemistry

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

Dream Chemistry’s single “The Wind” finds nature to be full of music. The uplifting nature of the song is paired nicely with the beautiful landscapes shot on location in Arizona (one should expect nothing less). The sun is used several times in overlaid shots, adding additional symbolism to the rising sun and sun-drenched hills. The band is a colorful cast of characters, with long black hair or a straw hat and quirky looking instruments. They look as if they just appeared out of the desert dust, an effect reinforced by the opening scene where each instrument fades in, with the musicians’ name floating across the screen. It seems almost like the start of a folk tale, not a music video.



With the lead singer Dellynn, taking the lead on camera time, viewers get a sense of her presence and her energy. She seems to believe in message of her song so intensely it becomes infectious. The complex layers of folk instruments and rich female vocal bring a wholeness to the song. The musicians illustrate their well-honed craft, focusing on their playing over camera candy, which maybe why some of the shots of the band without their instruments seems almost out of place within the song. While there are some fleeting moments where a camera shot do not ring true, the music is stunningly real and honest. Dream Chemistry certainly gives the viewer something to sing about.

MusicDishTV Presents “By The End Of” by Dead Smiling Pirates

Monday, December 5th, 2011

Denmark natives Dead Smiling Pirates went for a more meaningful message this time around with their video for their new single, “By The End Of”. The band has forgone any screen time to try and send a message about the pain of war and the trials of a soldier. Which at the moment is timely for so many people around the world.

Sounding very much like one of their influences, Blink 182, it could be said that Dead Smiling Pirates finds a way to sound like nineties pop-punk while staying current with vocal harmonies and interesting riffs from their other influence, Muse.

One of the more impressive sections of the video is a ten second sequence within the footage, where the cuts are in time with the music. The segment is probably the most hard hitting and resonant of the video. The video is mostly longer lingering clips showing war and injury, with Iwo Jima footage giving a gritty portrayal with a somewhat eerie feeling of anticipation building. Towards something else, towards a bigger conflict, a more graphic or dramatic scene, and as the video goes on it get slightly darker, showing a few of the dead men on the beach the music then goes in “for the kill” to drive home the message.

The band has a very connected sound, they make sense together, cleverly pairings of influences and chords, results in a solid sound, and the visuals are interesting, it seems that the viewer may want more from the band by the end.

-Top 10 hit Pop songs that feature a synth as the primary instrument saw a substantial drop in number from the previous quarter, decreasing from 79% to 59% of songs.

MusicDishTV Presents “Your Love Is My Oxygen” By Cutting Edge (Remix By Munroe)

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

Cutting Edge’s song “Your Love Is My Oxygen,” remixed by Munroe, is a dance song with a distinct nineties feel. The remix is danceable, with a strong beat that doesn’t overwhelm the listener. Already set up for a wave of nostalgia the viewer can expect a video full of bright effects, as well as a vast array of visuals. The video is reminiscent of early 1990’s videos, which were sort of experimental; known for using shadows, and trance-like visuals. The video sets the scene of a packed club with flashing lights, and quick camera work. Throughout the video all sorts of effects are used; shadows, mirror imaging, slow motion, lens flares, fake clouds that fill the screen and transition from the shadowy lead vocalist to the throng of wild dancing club goers. Viewers may want to keep an eye out for the smoke that comes in during the last minute of the video! An interesting effect, that adds to the razzle dazzle visuals of the video. The video was directed by Ricky Rick, and produced by David Pesnell and Jimmy Fassler their main themes for this video were dancing and fun, which was evident, as they made good use of various dancers, full clubs, and a steady beat.

Goth Trio Versailles Releases “Sacrifice” EP

Saturday, November 5th, 2011

Los Angeles-based Goth trio Versailles will digitally release the EP “Sacrifice” (Evileye Records) on iTunes on October 25th. Featuring an enigmatic blend of dark, ominous blend of edgy Synthpop combined with lyrics - Versailles sings intensely felt songs about love, vampires, war, the human soul, strength and struggle.



Singer/model and Versailles front woman Dianna St. Hilaire has been called the “Gothic Tori Amos.” Produced and written by St. Hilaire, and produced by Eric Greedy (Scott Weiland/Smashing Pumpkins/Ringo Starr) — “Sacrifice” features songs that are dark and ominous yet fun and inviting. Drawing inspiration from legendary bands like Depeche Mode and Joy Division, Versailles doesn’t disappoint on their latest release. The first single, One With Me opens with synthesizer pulse that drives the delicate, yet intense track - while the title track Sacrifice is a restrained, yet powerful track about war, destruction and the ultimate transcendence of the human soul.



“Whenever I hear bands with an electro heart I always hope that as the brightly rising synth burble is offset by some actual feeling, lest it become an anodyne experience, but the moment the vocals creep into the opening title track on this EP I am relieved. Not only does Dianna St. Hilaire have an excellent voice which transmits yearning, but the lyrics are thoughtful and that sense of imagination also encompasses a dark shape to the song in which the small emotional core swells…” says noted Goth/Rock writer, Mick Mercer.



Versailles is now equipped with three beautiful female members. Dianna St. Hilaire (Vocals, Keytar); Stephanie Rose (Bass); Marie Ilene (Drums) — along with the newest non-girl member Shaun Richards (Guitar).



Versailles recently appeared in the film “Black Room Doom” written by producer Kim Fowley of popular 70’s band “The Runaways.” “Dianna Saint-Hilaire (a.k.a. Versailles) proves that she is the female Robert Smith (The Cure). Marie is the ultimate video vixen. Shaun has the attention of the female animals in the audience,” says legendary producer Kim Fowley (The Runaways).

Tony Adamo - “No Strings Attached”

Friday, September 16th, 2011

Tony Adamo keeps the soul coming with his new video and song “No Strings Attached” from the album Straight Up Deal. With a tower of power’s worth of horns being played by Tower of Power members Skip Mesquite and Mic Gillette (who wrote the horn arrangement), Tony’s sound is funkier than ever. The vocal and horn performances on “No Strings Attached” are the strongest yet from Adamo and company. Smooth lyrics make the song even greater as Tony exudes coolness and a special touch that seem to be his signature. Adamo really makes some noise with this track, which is sure to be a crowd pleaser for fans of the Soul and R&B genres.

“I” By Jahmings Maccow

Monday, September 5th, 2011

Jahmings Maccow’s video “I” is a spiritual Rastafarian message conveyed in a medium that is moving to the heart and soul. While the track is reggae rock at its essence, it crosses over into another musical realm that is soothing, reassuring, and inspirational. The video itself is simple to avoid distractions from the song’s meaning, and has its intended effect on the viewer. This slow tempo, magical tune is mellow music that is good and strong. Interesting and tranquil images unfold throughout the video but keep the listener tuned in to the message which exudes happy feelings, enthusiasm, and positivity! The guitar solo is an added pleasure, and the track is lyrically positive. Maccow certainly shows his musical prowess with this track.

“I” is available for purchase at on iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/id353645701 and Amazon http://www.amazon.com/I-Jahmings-Maccow/dp/B003WUYO8O/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1314507686&sr=1-1

John Galea - “Faded Popstar”

Monday, September 5th, 2011

John Galea’s video “Faded Popstar” is so cool and creative that it will remind you why they began making music videos in the first place. With the use of animation, pictures, photos, and moving pictures, Galea gets his point across to mediocre musicians very nicely: You might be popular right now, but if you’re not the real thing and your songs always sound like someone else’s, you’ll fade away from musical memory sooner rather than later. The song is adorable, lyrically astute, and absolutely true. Galea has a great voice and gives a great vocal performance on this upbeat and catchy track. “Faded Popstar” has a very nice beat and the piano playing is great. The song has a very original sound, and it’s clear that Galea is not throwing rocks while living in a glass house with this track. This is one artist whose talent is not debatable, and pop music lovers, as well as anyone who loves to hear good music with a story behind it will love having “Faded Popstar” in their collection.
