Last week I headed down to the Bowery with Pete and Maxine from PRO MOTION to meet the Rock Ridge music team and check out organicArma who played an official CMJ showcase here in New York. The Miami based band is one of our LIFT artists and we recently serviced Fear of Demente to college DJs. Check out on their high energy performance of Demente below!

Andy Caldwell is a man who wears many hats – producer, remixer, singer, songwriter, DJ and label owner to name just a few!  Jenn at LIFT just serviced the new album Obsession by mail this week. While you college radio DJ’s wait to get your hands on it, check out our interview with Andy where he talks about his music background and the new album!

Unsurprisingly Zoot Woman really have an ear for remixes! You may remember I shared the Dyebox remix of Live in Head with you a few weeks ago.  Now the guys have just sent us some new mixes of tracks from the awesome Thing Are What They Used To Be which is racing up the the RPM charts here in the U.S. We will be sharing these with College Radio DJ’s next week. In the meantime you can preview them right here!  I’m really feeling the Chris Fraser remix of Just A Friend Of Mine and the PDA remix of We Won’t Break. Which ones are you into?

The Asteroids Galaxy Tour are one of my favorite new bands the first caught my eye, well ear I suppose, after hearing their song Around The Bend on the Ipod commercials, but I didn’t hold that against them! I really enjoy their debut album Fruit which shipped to college last week. My favorite track from the release is probably Sun Ain’t Shining No More and I really enjoy the video which they describe as “a retro homage to the sunshine bleached days of carefree youth.” It makes me think of summer days which now seem a distant memory as we’re right in the middle of Fall in NYC. I’m super excited to be interviewing them in the near future! If you have any questions for the band leave ‘em in the comments!

Robbie Williams played his first gig in three years last week at the BBC Electric Proms in London. He sung classics like  Millennium, Come Undone and Angels, and also some material from his new album Reality Killed the Radio Star which hits stores on November 6th. He gave an amazing performance of Bodies, which PRO MOTION will be promoting to DJs  in the U.S. The release will include remixes by Aeroplane, Trevor Horn, Cahill and many more!
