Rusko Announces North American Tour Dates For September and October

Dubstep trailblazer Rusko has announced a month-long tour starting September 18th in Dallas, Texas and ending October 30th at the HARD Haunted Mansion. The UK-bred DJ released his debut album earlier this year, O.M.G.! on Mad Decent, which features dirty-south staple Gucci Mane, Amber Coffman of the Dirty Projectors, Rod Azlan, and more. His live set mixes these eclectic singers and rappers seamlessly through bass heavy dubstep beats. Rusko keeps one hand on his ear while keeping the crowd thoroughly engaged with his ecstatic stage presence.

Rusko is said to use only original material for his live sets, which isn’t hard to believe considering the long list of artists he’s worked with in the past including Caspa, Diplo, Santigold, Hot Chip and, most recently, production work on M.I.A.’s latest album. Although some samples are mixed into his set, one should expect a very original mix.

Canadian Rapper-Producer “KEELO GRAMZ” Plots Triumphant Return with new deals

Canadian rapper and producer, Keelo Gramz, has signed a marketing deal with The Burnitdown Group LLC. The Burnitdown Group is the independent marketing arm for Shady Records. In conjunction with Black & Blue Signature Marketing, they plan to manage Keelo’s marketing and public relations strategy, overseeing the development and growth of his brand.

No stranger to media or entertainment, the rapper is plotting his triumphant return to the industry. In May 2010, he signed an EP deal with Ice Cold Recordings and is actively seeking a major recording deal. His new website, keelogramz.com, launched Thursday, July 20 during the soft debut of his new single “On Some Other Ish”; which is on radio rotation throughout Canada & the US. The official release party for “On Some Other Ish” will be on the same week of his birthday (Sept. 13 to Sept. 19)

Keelo’s tremendously, successful underground rap career spans across 4 years. The Scarborough native and former High School basketball star, began his music career in 2005 where he spent years recording and performing across Canada & the USA. He released his first indie album, Fortunes of the Fearless, which had 3 singles charting in Canada “Here Ya Go”, “Last Call” and “Somebody Snitched”. Not being adjusted to the “industry life”, Keelo took some time off to perfect his craft and spend time with friends & family.

His music speaks for itself and to the masses and Keelo Gramz has been impressing audiences with his music. As Keelo Gramz himself said, “I’m just a simple guy that’s trying to get my music to the world”, but he’s a lot more than that. He’s a talented musician and producer, an amazing performer and is definitely an artist to watch in 2010 and beyond.

Be sure to check Keelo’s performance at IMPORTFEST’s 10 Year Anniversary on Saturday September 11, 2010 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre

JAMAICA’s new video featuring Sepultura’s Igor Cavalera + North American Tour Dates

With the release of their highly anticipated debut album No Problem on the horizon, Jamaica, the French duo formerly known as Poney Poney have announced their next single. ‘Short & Entertaining’ will be released on August 16th through Co-op Music.

Packed with stop-start metallic guitars and fuzzy indie-pop melodies, ‘Short & Entertaining’ is a three minute gem. The video is directed by Jeremie Rozan & Martial Schmetz – from Surface2Air – (Justice vs. Simian, The Streets) and features Igor Cavalera, the drummer and founding member of the Brazilian Thrash metal bandSepultura.

‘No Problem’ was produced in Paris by Grammy Award winners Xavier de Rosnay (Justice) and Peter Franco. Contrary to what people might expect, there isn’t a synth in sight. In fact, the only rule when recording the album was “No synthesizers would be involved!

Based in Paris, Jamaica are Antoine Hilaire & Flo Lyonnet. Antoine’s inspirations range from Michael Jackson and The Beatles to 60s girl groups and Nirvana, whilst Flo is the electro head but holds a special place in his heart for the likes of Pantera and Rage Against The Machine.

This wide spectrum of influences gives Jamaica its distinct sound: sleek pop hooks and rock undertones alongside super tight electronic production. The album’s yacht rock sound – resplendent with guitar solos reminiscent of Daft Punk’s ‘Discovery’ – arrives just at the right time for summer.

Jamaica who play with a live drummer, opened the NME Radar Stage at The Great Escape earlier this year and are currently supporting Two Door Cinema Club on their French tour.
