NUMERO GETS BOOTLEGGED AND, GET THIS, PLANS TO RELEASE A BOOTLEG OF THE BOOTLEG!
“ECCENTRIC BREAKS AND BEATS” COMING JUNE 8th 2009
From the mid 80s through the early 90s, the groundbreaking “record label” Street Beat brought the world what would someday become the legendary Ultimate Breaks and Beats 25-volume collection. Featuring tracks that were known for their breaks from 3 distinct decades, UBB highlighted some of the best R&B and soul groups of the time and paved the way for many modern DJs and hip-hop artists. Some say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and in a true nod to all fans out there, the Numero Group via their Numbero imprint will release Eccentric Breaks & Beats this June!
How does all of this happen, one might ask? Simple. Throughout the course of 7 years and over 70 releases from the acclaimed archival label and film production company the Numero Group, a dedicated fan created a 40 minute mega-mix and pressed up a white label breaks record. Inevitably, the incredibly rare bootleg LP release found it’s way to the dance floor and in the hands of some of the most discerning tastemakers in the DJ community. Word got back to Numero and instead of issuing the obvious cease and desist letter, Numero decided to bootleg their own bootleg. On June 8th, the Numero Group will deliver a proper LP and CD release of the bootleg as an homage to the breaks and beats collections of yore.
Think you’ve heard it all? The creator of this essential collection is none other than the apocryphal label and production team, Shoes, who have previously re-worked Moodyman, Al Green, Miles Davis, and dozens more. Featuring over 50 tracks from some of the best artists associated with the Numero Group and probably the best cover art of 2010 (do your research!), this collection is sure to lead any serious collector on the ultimate crate digging scavenger hunt.
Eccentric Breaks and Beats will be available in-stores and online June 8th!

This month on TRIBES Entertainment’s BLOG, TRIBES contributor, Alana Jones, gets up close with journalist and author of Kiss the Sky, Farai Chideya.
About Farai Chideya
Farai Chideya has combined media, technology, and social justice during her 20-year career as an award-winning author and journalist. From 2006 to early 2009, she hosted NPR’s News and Notes, a daily national program about African-American and African diaspora issues. She and the teams she has worked with have won awards including a National Education Reporting Award, a North Star News Prize, and a special award from the National Gay and Lesbian Journalists Association for coverage of AIDS. She has written three nonfiction books: Trust: Reaching the 100 Million Missing Voters; The Color of Our Future; and Don’t Believe the Hype: Fighting Cultural Misinformation About African Americans. All are taught on college campuses across the country, and The Color of Our Future has found an increasingly broad audience as America has become more diverse (and Americans more aware of our collective diversity). Her novel Kiss the Sky (Atria Books; May 2009) is Essence Magazine’s book club selection for May 2009. Chideya also founded PopandPolitics.com in 1995. It is now one of the longest continuously operating blogs in the world.
Kiss the Sky tracks the life of Sophie “Sky” Lee, a thirtysomething black rock musician making a comeback in New York City in 2000. There are a few hitches to her plans: Sky’s guitarist is her mercurial, drug-abusing ex-husband; her manager is also her boyfriend; and Sky herself is frightened of the cost she’ll pay to reach the pinnacle of fame.

After her performance of the Canadian national anthem at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and her number one single “I Believe,” Nikki Yanofsky is on her way to becoming a household name in her native Canada. Now, this tiny 16-year-old singer with a larger-than-life voice is looking to take the US and the rest of the world by storm with her debut album Nikki, out May 4th. She got her start with jazz at age 12 as the youngest singer to ever headline the Montreal International Jazz Festival, but admits that while jazz is her first love, she takes her inspiration from all types of music. In her new EPK Nikki says with a smile, “You can say jazz, you can say pop singer, you can say R&B singer, soul singer, blues singer… I just consider myself a singer.” Her upcoming album, a mix of covers and original songs, will showcase all of these influences. In the meantime, watch the EPK to learn more about this talented teen – everything from how she spends her spare time, her passion for poetry and songwriting, and her hope to inspire others to follow their dreams – and look for Nikki in stores on May 4th.

Allstar Weekend announced dates for their upcoming Verizon “Experience The Magic Tour” which will be hosted by Emily Osment. Allstar Weekend announced the first of their free shows, March 6 in San Diego, during their recent Radio Disney Takeover. Radio Disney premiered their new single, “A Different Side of Me,” which is featured on “Radio Disney Jams 12” as well as on the soundtrack to and in the upcoming Nicolas Sparks film “The Last Song” starring Miley Cyrus. The video for “A Different Side of Me” premiered last week on Disney Channel.
Allstar Weekend formed while the four members were still in high school. Comprised of Zach (vocals), Nathan (guitar, vocals), Cameron (bass) and Michael (drums), the band wrote, produced and recorded songs and put them up on MySpace. The demos impressed Richard and Stefanie Reines, founders of Drive-Thru Records, who are now managing the band.
Allstar Weekend and its first single, “Journey to the End of My Life,” caught the attention of Radio Disney which added the band to its “N.B.T. (Next Big Thing) programming feature, one that puts the spotlight on young unsigned artists and provides them with national exposure. The response was so positive that they were subsequently signed to Hollywood Records and are currently writing and recording their debut CD, expected this June. Allstar Weekend has already shared the stage with bands like Selena Gomez & The Scene, Justin Bieber, The Maine, Forever the Sickest Kids and Savanna.
The Verizon “Experience The Magic” tour is in support of Verizon’s exclusive Mobile Magic Application, which helps guests navigate Disney Parks in Orlando and Anaheim.
