August 26, 2014 - Amsterdam, Netherlands: - SKYLAB arouses a feeling to discover new places, new friends, wherever and whatever they may be. In collaboration with the Delft Tech university, they managed to manipulate sound waves from space and melt them together with earthly vibes such as house, disco, funk & rock.

The songwriter, music producer and performer of hip hop known as JLoyal has released his latest EP record, “Trappin' in My Didas.” The EP is composed of three original tracks and a second mix of the album's title track, “Trappin' in My Didas,” edited specifically for play on public radio stations around the world. It has an approximate total listening time of 15 minutes, and has been proudly published on the RoadRunnaRecords independent music label entirely without support from the corporate music industry. Raw, rough, and packed with the legitimate, unmistakable style of rap and hip hop from the American south, “Trappin' in My Didas” by JLoyal is a surprise powerhouse coming late in the summer of 2014.

The performers of hip hop known as the Street Addiction Muzik Group have released their latest LP record, “U.S.A.,” which acronym stands for “Undeniable Street Addiction.” The long-playing album comprises 18 original tracks for an approximate total listening time of an hour and 15 minutes. This superlative length brings Street Addiction's new record closer to the average length of a double LP than to that of a typical long-playing album, which usually clocks in at 40-42 minutes. As might be inferred by the name of the artist, “U.S.A.” has been published on the Street Addiction Muzik Group independent record label. Aggressive, straight-up, and directly from the urban poets of America's inner cities, “U.S.A.” is a milestone of hip-hop music for the new millennium.

The collection includes the #1 hit, “Happy Together,” and the band’s top 10 cover of Bob Dylan’s “It Ain’t Me Babe.” Also included are other various singles which should have been hits.  The Turtles music exists somewhere between early 60s pop and the psychedelia of the latter part of the decade.    This collection provides an opportunity for today’s vinyl enthusiast to relive the songs the way they first appeared; as 7- inch singles.

Explaining the meaning of his new track, Frew says, “Creating it was a fun and fluid experience.  I’m passionate about big room, electro house which is a little left of center, quirky and yet still functional for the DJ on the dance floor.”

The first two come out October 21: a re-issue of We Are Time, a collection of early live and studio recordings and Cabinet of Curiousities, a brand new, nine-track compilation of radio sessions, live recordings, unreleased studio recordings and a long out of print 45RPM side.

"We think of it as music for different occasions," explains Rose, "a choose your own adventure kind of album.”
