JOY
JOY has been terrorizing dance floors, clubs, bouncers at nightclub doors and to date has never queued or paid a club fee entrance in her life! Her philosophy is Life is a disco ball and one big Party! Live forever Young!
Think - 21st Century, secret love child of Grace Jones and Kurt Cobain, the gorgeous, outrageous and oh so sexy JOY will hit you between the eyes like an exocet missile...With an original distinctive eclectic voice with a raw kick Ass cutting edge attitude and larger than life character– this delicious, Amazonian like creature with the energy of a hurricane will literally BLOW YOU AWAY.
She ain’t no good at ass licking and takes no shit from anyone!
Half Nigerian/half Jamaican, born in Britain and having partied for England so far, at 5ft 101/2 inches tall with a gazelle like physic, a former haute courtier fashion model, been part of FCNK and in another life her vocals featured on club hits ‘BUCCI BAG’ by ANDREA DORIA and in addition to a BA(Hons) degree in Communications Media.
JOY plays by her own rules and is very hard to impress. With a tongue that cuts like razor, her words become her. JOY values respect, loyalty, freedom, world peace and justice. Her dreams and aspirations are to one day perform with Slash/Billy Idol/ or Iggy pop and one day rock on the moon 4 real!
Her sound can be defined as New wave electro rock rap with phat heavy basslines, soaring piano and edgy street talking lyrics – You best batter down your hatches people.
There U have it, Nuff said!

CHARLIE SAVIGAR - ''Solo chick troubadour in the Chrissie Hynde mould, with beefy backing band. Nice radio friendly pop songs with lovely harmonies ...she can rock a bit in a soft shuffle boogie/rnb style, that sometimes puts you in mind of prime T Rex…quite a talent I guess..country pop is never far from the mix. A great new talent.'' - BugBear Promotions

DJ FROM ITALY...RICKIE SNICE
Obtaining some belt-drive turntables at the end of the nineties is a thing that changes you life. Influenced by the late 80ies'House music and by the Disco of the 70ies. Rickie Snice starts to push the first buttons on the console, finding himself deeply tied up to Hip-Hop and to Black Music in general, till coming upon to the 4/4 kick, which becomes his credo. He explodes in the summertime of 2009 securing himself a space in all the relevant local line-ups, publishing "Urban Jump" for the local Killa Tunes and inflaming hearts opening the Mad in Sicily Festival. He cranks out daily remixes and makes noise, as to arrive to the Mustard Pimp, who put one of his remixes in their last work. And his "so rumbling" sound arrives up to Milan where, guest of the Rocket, puts everyone KO at the Knock Out Party! Rickie's remixing style makes him won the contest for the remix of "Mininova" by Frenk Agrario & Funkabit on Mozzarella Recordings, which opens the doors to him for his subsequent release of "Miami Snice", again on the same label. But Rickie doesn't stops here and produce "Make Disco" on Hello Shitty Rec., receiving good reviews on "Wicked Style" and "DJ MAG". His sound finally reaches London where, thanks to his friend and co-producer Miky J, he puts his hands on Joy's voice remixing "Rockstarr For The Night", a release coming soon on Prolifica Records. And it's just from London that the new TWO DOTS project starts, born together with Miky, publishing an immediate release on 953 Recordings affiliate to Ministry of Sound Australia. And it's an instant BOOM of the duo! At the moment Rickie is working on his next project which will be released by the end of 2010 and the beginning on 2011.

ADOLPHOS JAMES

View All Photos | Adolphos James Tones, album cover | Adolphos James

Inspired by soul legends such as The Delfonics, The Stylistics & Smokey Robinson and intending to etch his own mark amongst the soul greats; soul singer Adolphos James launches his official album this year on IMC Entertainment. Combining Soul, Funk, Hip Hop and RnB, Adolphos‘s debut offering hums of sophisticated cool and matured twists of jazz and introduces the UK to a style and song on par with Corrine Bailey Rae, Seal and the late great Lynden David Hall. At an early age he honed his talents; working with local producers and various musicians in a bid to discover his own sound, this is where he was discovered. By early 2009 Adolphos James had made the move to finish recording his album TONES. Present day London, Adolphos James is now ready to showcase his unique, cool and timeless album, to share with us. It’s an original, honest and genuine offering from one of the UK’s finest, new talents. Debut single ‘Better Days’ takes us on a journey of self reflection, it helps us celebrate for the future and it is preservation for the soul. TONES skips from smooth soul on ‘Get a Break,’ to classics on ‘Shoop,’ akin to D'Angelo. Adolphos offers intelligent ballads on ‘Questions,’ and ‘I Just Want To,’ proving his ability to effortlessly slip between genres whilst remaining loyal to his roots. Come along as Adolphos James lets you discover cool, soul music all over again with this timeless debut.
