RiffSpot is the music industry’s newest concept in dance music promotion. They offer an innovative and effective service for record labels, independent artists and music industry professionals worldwide. RiffSpot facilitates distribution of digital music releases from top record labels to 1000’s of carefully selected club DJs, radio producers, A&R professionals and media outlets.
RiffSpot focuses on two main audiences; Record labels/Independent artists and top music industry professionals. Both get a fantastic and unique service whatever their needs. Record labels and independent artists can rely on RiffSpot to distribute their forthcoming releases to music industry professionals that have an influence within their music genre. Each professional on the books is vetted to ensure they’re able to provide significant exposure for each release. Also you can supply your own list of music industry contacts to RiffSpot and these contacts will also receive the promo allowing you to track your efforts from one single place. Once professionals have received your promo, they will preview and rate your music prior to downloading it. This means that you gain access to insightful
feedback in real time, allowing you to visualise the reception of each track.
RiffSpot’s second target audience of music industry professionals includes individuals such as club and radio DJs, A&R, bloggers, journalists and reviewers. Tastemakers can register with RiffSpot for FREE. With the added advantage, unlike other services, that promos are offered in both 320Kbps MP3 format and CD Quality WAV format, professionals can be assured they are getting the highest quality downloads. All downloads are supplied with information sheets, cover artwork and are correctly tagged ready to be used straight away.
The best thing about RiffSpot is that for record labels and independent artists, it eliminates the enormous cost of conventional promo distribution. Whilst you would normally have to spend money on CD manufacturing, mailing and the staff to organise it; the entire process is shifted to the internet for a fraction of the cost! Also, for all of your releases, RiffSpot will use digital watermarking technology to encode every single download with a unique tracking code. This is done to protect your content and allows you to be safe in the knowledge that if your track gets shared illegally, you will be able to gather the evidence necessary to make a legal prosecution.
As a special launch offer, RiffSpot are offering record labels and independent artists who register their interest at http://www.riffspot.co.uk before the 1st November, 1 month’s free trial of the service! They also still have space on their books for more tastemakers so remember all club and radio DJs, A&R, bloggers, journalists and reviewers, you can sign up for free at http://mip.riffspot.co.uk

Here are a couple of dates for your diaries over the next few days as its a bit of an action packed bank holiday weekend.
First of all, get yourself over to Platform Six where you can download the latest episode of my fortnightly radio show. Special guest mix this week from none other than Electro house DJ Piqué !!!! As always, the special guest mix is sandwiched between two very phat choice slices of hand cut funky house mixed by myself. Its a great show that also includes one of the latest tracks from Shola Ama and a bumpin’ cut from Crimes Against Disco!
Now on to the live events… Kicking off with TONIGHT. Yes yes, tonight you can catch myself on the decks up at the always funky, Funky End bar in Aldershot alongside the hairless wonder that is Tom Upton closely followed by the lanky legend Mark Masters. Free entry all night with music pumping out from 9pm until late.
If you haven’t got your fill of fresh upfront Funky House tunes by then, you can continue the party TOMORROW NIGHT over at the HaHa bar in Guildford. Usual suspects of Tom Upton and Mark Masters will be in control of your dancefloor, plus I will be there too to spin a couple of tunes. Once again, it’s free entry all night so to be fair you have no excuses not to turn up. Saturday will be a good one as I plan to have a couple of beers and dance around like a lemon.

Aldershot. Hm. Bit of a step down from Ibiza and Vienna isn’t it?
On July 18th I shall be heading over to the Funky End in Surrey to go and play some of that funky house music stuff alongside the incredibly talented and (incredibly bald) DJ Tom Upton.
Tom recently won a DJ competition where the top prize was a 45 minute set at Guilfest this year. So you know he’s gonna be good.
If you are in the area, come along, the door price is FREE and the music will be superb. I guarantee it or your money back.
The Epihany Orchestra is actually a one man electronic band from Guildford in Surrey who puts together some of the most phenominal chill out and relaxation music I have ever heard.
“Remixes” is the latest album from The Epiphany Orchestra, following on from “One” that was released a few months ago. The prodcution is always spot on and each track takes you on a journey.
“The Epiphany Orchestra have done it again. The long awaited album, entitled “Remixes” is an absolute corker!
All the best tracks by The Epiphany Orchestra have been remixed into a wide array of genres to create some incredible music!
Our favourites include the MASSIVE trancey breakbeat remix of “Ponder,” Bigbeat remixes of tracks like “Chills” and “Tibetan Sunset,” and of course the fantastic remix of “Head Space.”
Alongside the remixes (9 in total!), The Epiphany Orchestra have written three brand new and exciting tracks, in keeping with the ethos of the remix album - two very chilled out tracks, including one of my all-time favourite tracks “Untitled Groove.” The other track has a more driven beat, and has a beautiful arpeggiated sound, a la “Head Space,” and bass a la “Ponder” - GREAT STUFF!!
