The Black Eyed Peas have made the number 1 charts with their Electro influenced single Boom Boom Pow. There’s a few remixes available on iTunes, but this one by Brooklyn based producter Chew Fu brings the track back to its influence. There’s only one word that can describe Chew Fu’s remix, bumpin’.

On May 7th, 2009 the Independent Music Awards presented Story Songs, an evening of story telling intertwined with music. Artists Kristy Kruger, Richard Julian and Amy Speace were asked questions concerning their life’s stories by host Anythony DeCurtis playing the role of James Lipton, but without a stack of blue cards.

Another method is recording 15 minutes of an event and distribute it to club managers and owners interested in your services. Before this step, there are three items every Second Life DJ should have.
