So we have been really busy behind the scenes here at Venga Digital. We are getting a steady (and worthy) flow of demos at the moment, which got us thinking:

Currently there is nobody really pulling together an unsigned chart, or recognising the unsigned talent out there.

So we set about creating a blog LOCK'DON to do just that. Talk about current affairs in all things music, but to look after the guys on the bottom rung of the ladder.

We plan to interview the starts, in our pro showcases, highlight new undiscovered talent in our "Introducing" feature posts, and recognise the demos we are receiving by compiling a monthly chart!

All of this sounds very Bob Geldof I know, but trust me it won't be cheesy, and is in it for the music!

So enjoy it, and please spread the word, if you head to the unsigned chart post here you can spread it on Facebook at Twitter :)

Here is the link to that post Top 10

Here is the link to the blog homepage Lock'Don Blog Home

And I embed the video below for your viewing pleasure!!

Yo... so its almost here - the TLGB release drops on 2nd November.

The promo is getting a fair bit of heat at the moment, and weve got some more reactions to post, in due course, but for now you can check the support Kissy Sell Out provided on Radio 1, last night.

Good man Kissy - thanks!  You can listen again here http://bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00nbs5q

Finally I have been able to update this blog, for some reason the updates were not going live.

This was frustrating, as we had stuff to announce. I have finally heard back from Myspace, and the glitch has been rectified... never mind, the updates should come through now backdated, some of which is old news but hey!!

Hope all is well!

Audiostalkers - Hallucinate has been licensed for an upcoming Mixmag cover CD.

The CD is mixed by Kissy Sell Out, and represents something in the way of credence, for what is a fantastic track.

It is certainly a track that is in every set I play - its a beefcake. If you haven't heard it already, try and locate it on Beatport!

Speak Soon
