JLS - new single 'One Shot' & UK Arena Tour

JLS - new single 'One Shot' & UK Arena Tour

The unstoppable JLS, release their new single ‘One Shot’ on February 22 through Epic Records.

The single written and produced by hitmakers Soulshock and Karlin coincides with the boys first headline tour in February.

JLS got their career off to a phenomenal start last year with two #1 singles [‘Beat Again’ and ‘Everybody In Love’] and a #1 album. Both singles topped the radio airplay charts and their videos were rarely off music channels. JLS became one of the breakthrough success stories of the year. Since their self-titled album was released two months ago they have sold over 1,000,000 copies, with the album already certified triple platinum.

They have become the country’s favourite new band and picked up a few celebrity fans along the way from Beyonce to Rihanna.

2010 is set to kick off in fine style for the boys with their first ever headline tour. The February tour, which sold out in hours, kicks off on 1st at Ipswich Regent and ends at Glasgow Clyde Auditorium on February 21st. You can expect show-stopping performances from the boys. They have spent the past few months wowing crowds at concerts ranging from T4’s Stars of 2009 to 1Xtra Live but are now ready for their own headline show.

And the year is set to get even bigger for Oritse, Marvin, JB and Aston as they recently announced an arena tour for December 2010.

Calvin Harris new single ‘You Used To Hold Me’ on February 8th

Edwin Huxley - Wednesday 20.01.10, 18:37pm

Calvin Harris returns with a new single ‘You Used To Hold Me’ on February 8th through Columbia Records.

Taken from the #1 album ‘Ready For The Weekend’, it follows in the footsteps of his previous chart topping & dancefloor smashing singles ‘I’m Not Alone’, ‘Ready For The Weekend’ & ‘Flashback’.

‘You Used To Hold Me’ is backed by a series of huge club mixes courtesy of Laidback Luke & Nero, and an explosive video packed full of monster truck action.

2009 was a break out year for Calvin Harris that saw him sell in excess of 1 million singles & 150,000 albums in the UK,  write & produce several #1 hit singles for both himself & others, sell out his entire tour ( with over 50,000 + tickets sold in advance), crowd winning performances across all of the UK’s major summer festivals,  Calvin also completed several high profile DJ tours and residencies across the globe and saw him truly step out of the shadows into becoming one of the UK most unique and engaging pop stars on every level.

He ended 2009 with a triumphant appearance at London’s 02 Arena on New Year’s Eve and begins 2010 as he left off; with an Australian tour, further studio work & lots more DJing & shows in the pipeline.

A connoisseur of the true art of dance music, Calvin Harris looks set to lead the genre well into the next decade.

“In The City” / “I Love Your Music” is the new single to be released by electro / pop artist Alexander Price.

To help promote the new single, Alexander Price will be playing Divine Incest @ Ghetto in London this weekend.

The double A-Side release, a collaboration between Alexander and acclaimed DJ / producer Andrew Friendly (Ministry of Sound Ibiza) embodies Alexander’s own story and the experience of witnessing his energetic and innovative visual act live. With its with it’s ultra radio friendly chorus, the anthemic ‘In The City’ explores Alexander’s escape from suburbia and explore his passion for what the city has to offer – living in London’s edgy neighbourhood of Dalston, partying like the emerging popstar he is and wearing exclusive designs tailor made by himself which will be available on his own fashion label in 2010.

‘In The City’ captures the live show energy perfectly and is the follow up to the uber cool and successful kitsch pop debut hit ‘Spend A Little Time’ which delivered Alexander to the national media earlier this year, including a 9 out of 10 review from iDJ Magazine and frequent international airplay on stations including BFBS Radio and Joy 94 in Australia, plus extensive print coverage with features in Bent Magazine, Top Gayer Magazine, Out Magazine and Gaydar Nation. A successful debut was capped when Alexander was invited to perform on stage with one of his own idols, the fashion designer and musician Pam Hogg at London’s leading live music venue The Luminaire. The video for his first single was filmed at The National Film Theatre and videos for both new tracks will be supported by videos produced and directed by acclaimed music and film director John James Fox.

After training at the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School in London alongside classmates Amy Winehouse and Billie Piper, Alexander graduated with a degree in Contemporary Dance/Choreography, Alexander was finally on the road as an artist and performer. Alexander soon realised he had a knack for crafting memorable, catchy hooks and delivering sharp vocals that expressed both urgency and vibrant energy. The music suddenly began gracing the boxes of some of the capital’s hottest DJs, and his live shows, always a visual spectacle, began to attract large numbers of excited audiences in venues like Blow Up @ Metro and Heaven, leading to being invited to perform at Madame JoJos, The Luminaire and 333 to name a few.

Divine Incest  @ Ghetto
58 Old Street, London, EC1V 9AJ

Also appearing will be Scottee & the legendary Princess Julia

Need To Lose Weight & Exercise?

Edwin Huxley - Monday 11.01.10, 18:17pm

clubland-workout-dvdEnter our free competition to win a copy of Clubland – Workout of Your Life! with Deanne Berry.

Deanne Berry, the Sydney born dance and fitness queen who inspired GMTV audiences this summer with her sensational bikini diet workout routines with Mr Motivator, returns to the dance fitness arena with the DVD release of Clubland – Workout of Your Life!

Following on from last year’s smash hit fitness DVD Clubland – Work It Out, the new release features 21 heart-pumping tracks which, when combined with Deanne’s sensational choreography, will be sure to get you in the mood for fitness.

Deanne, who first shot to fame in the video for Swedish DJ Eric Prydz’s Call On Me and has worked with the likes of Kylie Minogue and Basement Jaxx, has carved quite a reputation for dance fitness in the UK following the huge success of Clubland – Work It Out, which took the DVD fitness market by storm last year.

Clubland – Workout of Your Life! combines killer moves with 21 of the hottest dance anthems around to create the ultimate high energy workout. Deanne has split the workout into 6 sections:

  • Warm – Work It Up
  • Cardio – Aerobic Floor Fillers
  • Dance – Ultra Dance Beat
  • Boxing – Clubland Combat
  • Muscle Toning – Total Tone
  • Cool Down – Cool it Off

The DVD is packed with extras, including an interview with Deanne that will feature ‘behind the scenes’ footage along with comments from the woman herself on the workout.  There will also be two special dance sections that feature one of the routines from the DVD, but with all the lights down to create a special ‘silhouette’ segment.

The DVD features the nation’s biggest chart smashes and club hits, including tracks by Agnes, Sugababes and The Saturdays and no less than five UK number 1s:  Lady Gaga’s Just Dance,  Pixie Lott’s Mama Do,  Black Eyed Peas’ Gotta Feelin’,  Cascada’s Evacuate The Dancefloor and Tinchy Stryder’s Never Leave You.

Against a backdrop of these dancefloor fillers, Deanne demonstrates easy-to-follow routines that between them will culminate into a hot dance workout routine, providing inspiration to burn those calories and tone that body.

Deanne Berry says: “An hour’s dancing can help shift hundreds of calories and is great aerobic exercise and fun at the same time.  With Clubland – Workout of Your Life! you not only get a fantastic soundtrack but also motivation to burn those carbs, tone that bod and dance your way to fitness in the privacy of your own home – and learn a few hot dance moves in the process.”
