PJ Harvey has long been considered one of England’s most innovative and iconoclastic female artists and with her 8th studio album ‘Let England Shake’ she embarks on a historical musical voyage as she seeks to define her relationship with the land of her birth. This is a musical excavation of England’s very soil, of its history and the violent and bloody cycles of conflict that have shaped the nations geography and psyche. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/album-rewievs/39118-pj-harvey-let-england-shake-reviewfree-albumPJ Harvey has long been considered one of England’s most innovative and... more

Possessing one of contemporary music’s most incendiary live shows and a clutch of critically acclaimed albums, Rhode Island duo Lightning Bolt have earned wild praise from some of music’s bigwigs (the likes of Steve Albini, John Peel). Their drum/bass set-up might sound limiting, but the uncompromising music and textures they create are anything but. They have just recently released Earthly Delights, their fifth album, and first since 2005’s lauded Hypermagic Mountain, and is further example of their unclassifiable sound. Their music straddles genres such as metal, noise, punk, prog, and favours textures, rhythms, and riffs over easy listening. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/album-rewievs/31047-lightning-boltPossessing one of contemporary music’s most incendiary live shows and a clutch... more

recorded by Shawn Jackinsky on an old busted 4track in winter 2008/2009, Alaska ..... It sounds at turns like floating through space, sitting on an iceberg travelling down a frozen river, wandering across an alien beach at night, walking around a tiny fog-enshrouded rocky lighthouse island, and travelling through the arctic on a dogsled. It is truly a work of art that can be listened to (or rather, slept to) again and again.... http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/ambient/18757-owlfacerecorded by Shawn Jackinsky on an old busted 4track in winter 2008/2009, Alaska ........ more

By Julian Zimmerman October 22, 2010, . Story by Julian Zimmerman /AP Def Jam was created by Rick Rubin in his dorm room at New York University and its first release was a single by his punk-rock group, Hose. Russell Simmons joined Rubin shortly after they were introduced to each other by DJ Jazzy Jay. The first single released with a Def Jam Recordings logo was T La Rock & Jazzy Jay "It's Yours." The first releases with a Def Jam Recordings catalog number were LL Cool J's "I Need a Beat" and the Beastie Boys' "Rock Hard," both in 1984. The singles sold well, eventually leading to a distribution deal with CBS Records' (which would later become Sony Music Entertainment) Columbia Records the following year. This created a short-lived subsidiary label called OBR Records, catered toward R&B artists — the first artist signed to that imprint was Oran "Juice" Jones, who enjoyed success with his hit single "The Rain". Def Jam also signed their first and only thrash metal band Slayer in 1986, and their debut album was the only Def Jam release to be distributed through Geffen Records, as opposed to Columbia. As the decade drew to a close, the label signed Public Enemy, whose controversial lyrical content garnered the company both critical acclaim and disdain. Lord Hector Diono a native Washingtonian, now an Atlanta Georgia based music producer and recording artist teamed up with the covenant Def Jam Records A&R Veteran Michael"Goldie Mack" Greaux who has taken on the task of managing the underground heavy weight for better distribution and placement for his music production company Dark Town Licensing as well as his indie label Dark Town Music Group,llc after receiving an email from an international online music watch dog administrator The rapper, crooner/song writer, and music producer sealed the deal October 16, 2010 for the distribution of his next ten Album projects and the next 50 singles. "Jacob's Ladder (Climb it)was remastered and is set to be released on March 14, 2011 this is the first of many music releases to come from the Georgia based music icon, now available at all major online music outlets, industry insiders are asked to contact the Def Jam Universal A&R Veteran Michael"Goldie" Greaux regarding any interest in Lord Hector Diono whom he officially signed to his management company May 11, 2011.
