DJ Noxxer (Portugal)
DJ Noxxer is a young Portuguese DJ / Producer that combines a whole world of sounds and emotions in his work. Mixing first came in late 2004, but his true love and passion were yet to be fulfilled. As an Iberican DJ, his main style is Tribal and Hard House but he is not afraid to venture into Electro-House and Funky grooves. His distinct style landed him gigs quickly around the city and now DJ Noxxer can be seen performing all around his native country with some other Portuguese artists that he admires.
His production has started to garner him some notice and buzz. Noxxer will release before the end of 2007 a mix compilation and expect some orinigal productions and mixes to soon follow. “The most important thing is doing what I love to do with a little bit of style”… And that’s exactly his main idea for crafting his productions, combining different styles and baking some musical gem that “people won’t forget the next time they come out to the club”!
DJ Noxxer is also involved with a project called Fuckin DJ’s, with DJ Miguel S, where they perform live. This project is special for both members and their production work is being carefully studied in order to fill the hopes that so many friends put on them!

you can find him working it out for us on a few remixes (click to buy)

Can everyone smell the arrival of Spring? Here in Harlem, New York, the weather is still gray and wet at times, but the few days in the upper 50′s do inject a pep in every body’s steps and foster spring cleaning, updating and sprucing.

All the label’s artists are spending copious amounts of time putting new touches to their own personal websites and social network pages. We’ve launched a massive effort to integrate the various e-commerce and music catalog of all the artists with each others’ sites and with the label’s own internet home (www.decibelnyc.com)

Leading the pack and setting example is The Undah-Dub who just spent several weeks tweaking his own websites www.undah-dub.com and http://www.myspace.com/undahdub. The changes may not be apparent at first but underneath a similar front-end, there are many e-commerce integrations and pertinent direct linking that aim at boosting traffic in general and extending the global reach of our brand.

Here are some other updated artist web sites to visit:

- SteReO’s Webfunk
- Digital Vinyl Recordings (label home of CRX)
- Vladimir Neuymin aka Chiller

Enjoy!

this evening, at Studio 152 – our recording studio in the heart of washington heights in harlem, new york – Breeze was putting the final touches to Slutty Pooh, one of the songs from his much anticipated upcoming album “RISE“.

Scheduled for release before the summer 2008 and packing no less then 12 full length songs, Breeze’s second full-length studio album is a veritable musical retelling of his years growing up in the club scene in New York City. Featuring unique and orignal club and radio tracks produced by Breeze himself, The Undah-Dub, CJ Burken and Mad Cows, RISE will delight and enchant all who listen to it, from the shores of Abu Dabi to the sunny sands of Miami Beach or the dark side streets of New York’s East Village.

below is a picture and video essay of their maddening 10-hour-production session where the music, the haze, the chicken wings and the pizza all come together to create the magic that is their sound. gentlemen, pick a lady please…

this past week, Mista A (who released Mental Health Hotline recently on the label) moved to Philadelphia. he is the latest in a long trend of musicians and producers moving to the Philly area.

our label mate Jody Vukas also relocated to the Philly suburbs with a new outlook on music and life. Philly must be where it’s at these days.

Here is what a few minutes of an impromptu production session looked like when we recently visited Mista A in his new lair….

Late breaking news about one of the label’s owner and artist: The Undah-Dub officially begins is 4-hour weekly live radio show on Netmusique this Wednesday, September 19th, at 2:00 pm CMT and every Wednesday thereafter.

Expect The Undah-Dub to prominently feature some of the latest releases from the label and also some unreleased mixes that are locked tight in the vault. Show some love to Netmusique for always keeping it twisted and electrique on their radio show (they have some of the sickest lineup of electro dj’s spinning or featuring mixes there) and to our artist “Dub” for bringing it hard like the pink elephant in the room. So tune in every Wednesday and ride it out…

After a year of procrastinating like only a Mista A could do, a miraculous event transpired and it went a little something like this:

It all started with a hot and sunny 8 hours of driving, a pound of gelatinous confections and a few choice swear words for all those summer tourist drivers, then I finally made it to the big (and sour) apple, to finally put my new single to bed and reconnect with my peeps, Kevin and Cj in New York City.

Spanish Harlem, a six pack of Big Red and plenty watermelons were all I needed to get the juices cookin’. Under intense pressure and scrutiny, we got the single and the remix package for it wrapped up.

“Mental Health Hotline” is done and in the process I conjured up a little remix for the label’s newest superstar, Don Davenport. A saucy joint aptly titled “Strut“, which I think will slam all those fortunate to hear it on a dance floor.

I was totally blown away to the hear all the new-ies for the upcoming Fall and Winter release calendar and all I can say is: wear suspenders and slide up your depends because you will be moist!

So thanks to my family in NYC for keeping it cute and giving me new weapons for the masses, I left an automatic slayer for them to fire off at there discretion……so Catch it!

Mista A

we just got 2 sick remixes for “Mental Health Hotline” from our main dude in texas: Fuze!

he turned out a real hard swing rework that will please and then please some more. with a dark bassline and demented synthetics. “loco” is always welcome when you are travelling with this pack of loonies..

mental health hotline should be out very soon. with mixes from fuze, undah-dub and mista a, himself!
