The Yellow Sun for Japan Remixes!
In response to the events in Japan, I've decided to release new remixes of my older production, "The Yellow Sun." Featuring various remixes from friends willing to donate their time on this project where all proceeds of sales go to Red Dot Releif Fund for Peace Boat. Also in the process is an event on April 17th at Saki Bomb in St Pete, Fl. featuring several djs & artists with all door sales going to the charity. So here's the first remix from Cubanix more on a deep tip, enjoy.

RIP Loleatta Halloway
Loleatta Halloway recently passed away at the age of 64 of heart failure, and left behind a legacy of amazing soulful gospel inspired music to the human race. I remember hearing about her first back in the 80s during my b-boy breakdance era with her "Crash Goes Love" on the label Streetwise, which was also home to New Order, New Edition, John Rocca, and many other electro inspired 80s dance.
You may also remember her classics "Love Sensation," "Hit & Run," and especially the Norman Jay anthem "Runaway." We will all definitely miss her live performances, but the music lives on in our hearts on the dancefloor everytime the dj drops that Halloway jam!

Thomas Dolby on RBMA Radio
RBMA Radio strikes again with an amazing Fireside Chat!! This time around its with legendary synth maestro Thomas Dolby! Known for all his amazing hits in the 80s that broke ground in pop music with the introduction of electronic instruments. Afterwards he took a hiatus from music to develop software for ringtones, now hes back making music into the 21st Century.
From his early days playing keyboards in Paris' Metro underground, Thomas Dolby Robertson has always worked to merge creativity and technology into a cohesive musical expression. As a teenager he got the nickname "Dolby" after his friends noted his assorted experiments with various keyboards, synthesizers and cassette players. It was that same fascination that drove him to become the iconic songwriter and tech entrepreneur that he is today. After a difficult start and a brief stint busking on the Paris subway, the advent of MTV brought him more widespread exposure through his perfectly produced videos. 'She Blinded Me With Science' became his first huge hit and what followed was close to world domination - well, some albums, numerous awards and five Grammy nominations anyway. However his success as an artist, arranger and producer wasn't enough, so started his own company, Beatnik to help in the development of synthesizers and audio software. This took up most of his time until he re-emerged again in the music scene around 2006, with his first solo performances in over a decade and new original work in the making. In the meantime hear about his love of synths to 'The Golden Age of Wireless' to meeting Michael Jackson. Entertainment indeed.

Miami Music Week 2011 (March 22 - 28)
Ok so this year the whole WMC got split like a banana with it being not one, but 2 seperate weeks in the month. So I decided to go at the end of the month for the so called Miami Music Week from March 22 - 28. Kind of a pain in the ass trying to figure out whats going so I used The Miami New Times & friends as the source for alot of these events. If you have anymore I missed feel free to comment below. Also these events are subject to change, and on some of them I estimated what time they might be over. Your best bet is to look for some of these on Facebook, Miami New Times, Resident Advisor, or Want Tickets WMC 2011 to get exact closing times.
Peace & Safe Dancing!
