    UBIQUITY RECORDS PRESENTS THE SA-RA CREATIVE PARTNERSTM NUCLEAR EVOLUTION: THE AGE OF LOVE FOR INFORMATION AND SOUNDCLIPS OF OUR TITLES, GO TO WWW.UBIQUITYRECORDS.COM/PRESS STREET DATE: 06/09/2009 The SA-RA Creative Partners™ have dazzled & amazed with Andreas Stevens, aka Greyboy, born 1970, was the first artist to sign to Ubiquity. Freestylin’, his first full-length album, holds cult-status and is up-there with the label's all-time best sellers. Not bad for a record that cost less than $4000 to productions, collections, mixes and remixes and now, for the first time, make, and sold on an advertising budget of $0! He was a man in the right place at the right time. While the acid jazz with Nuclear Evolution: The Age of Love, they deliver a completely phenomenon was brewing in Europe in the early 1990s, Greyboy became the first American producer to mix new and original album. Built from scratch, it’s a truly coherent and instrumental hip-hop with jazz. His chunky beat-making sensibilities earned him praise from the European crowd, innovative body of work. Musical, adventurous, and even more evolved and his tracks were heard by crowds checking out DJs like UK-based Gilles Peterson, Marcus Wyatt (LA), and DJ Smash (NYC). "When I first started making beats, I was making hip-hop.

  • Sean Mcculloch – Lead Vocals Daniel Gailey – Guitar, Backing Vocals Bryce Kelly – Bass, Backing Vocals Lee Humarian – Drums
    Sean McCulloch – Lead Vocals Daniel Gailey – Guitar, Backing Vocals Bryce Kelly – Bass, Backing Vocals Lee Humarian – Drums Utter and complete reinvention isn’t the only way to destroy boundaries. Oftentimes, the most invigorating renewal in any particular community comes not from a generation’s desperate search for some sort of unrealized frontier, but from a reverence for the strength of its foundation. The steadfast metal fury of PHINEHAS is focused, deliberate, and unashamed. Across three albums and two EPs, the Southern California quartet has proven to be both herald of the genre’s future and keeper of its glorious past. The New Wave Of American Metal defined by the likes of As I Lay Dying, Shadows Fall, Unearth, All That Remains, Bleeding Through, and likeminded bands on the Ozzfest stage and on the covers of heavy metal publications has found a new heir in PHINEHAS. Even as the NWOAM owed a sizeable debt to Europe’s At The Gates and In Flames and North America’s Integrity and Coalesce, PHINEHAS grab the torch from the generation just before them. The four men of mayhem find themselves increasingly celebrated by fans, critics, and contemporaries, due to their pulse-pounding brutality. Make no mistake: PHINEHAS is not a simple throwback. PHINEHAS is a distillation of everything that has made the genre great since bands first discovered the brilliant results of combining heavy metal’s technical skill with hardcore punk’s impassioned fury. SEAN MCCULLOCH has poured his heart out through his throat with decisive power, honest reflections on faith and doubt, and down-to-earth charm since 2007.

In the beginning, the story goes, disco was gay: Gay dancers went to gay clubs, celebrated their newly liberated status by dancing with other men, and discovered a vicarious voice in the form of disco’s soul and gospel-oriented divas. Received wisdom has it that straights, having played no part in this embryonic moment, co-opted the culture after they cottoned onto its chic status and potential profitability.

  • 'Titanium' | David Guetta (Feat. Sia)
    ‘Titanium’ David Guetta (feat. Sia) ‘Titanium’ | David Guetta (feat. Sia) ‘Titanium’ was a number one hit for French DJ and music producer David Guetta, featuring vocals from Australian singer Sia. Initially released digitally as one of four promotional singles for the album Nothing but the Beat in August 2011, the hit was o!cially released as the fourth single from the album in December of that same year. ‘Titanium’ was well received in many of the top music markets worldwide, achieving number 1s in four countries and top 10s in an incredible twenty "ve countries across the globe. #e single was met with positive reviews, with many claiming it to be the show stopper of the album thanks to Sia’s collaboration on lyrics and phenomenal vocal performance. Described as “epic and energising”, ‘Titanium’ was musically likened to the works of Coldplay and Sia’s vocal was compared to that of Fergie. Many reviewers raved about Sia’s delivery of the song’s hook, stating that ‘Titanium’ was by far the “most intriguing hook-up” of Guetta’s "$h studio album. #e single was certi"ed 3 x Platinum in the UK with sales just short of two million copies, and 2 x Platinum in the US with four million records sold. Guetta’s album Nothing But !e Beat topped the album charts in the DJ’s home nation of France, as well as Australia, Belgium, Germany, Spain and Switzerland. While some reviewers felt it was lacking somewhat in comparison to his earlier works, the album was well-received by many with tracks ‘Night of Your Life’ and ‘Titanium’ being highlighted as the strongest on the release.
