RYKO DISTRIBUTION AND KGD MEDIA

2008-03-18T16:40:00.003-04:00

Dear friends and partners:

We are pleased to finally share some great news with you all!

KGD Media has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Ryko Distribution who will be handling KGD's sales, collections and order fulfillment to stores. Many of you probably know Ryko already, but for those who want a little background, here's a snippet from Wikipedia:

“Claiming to be the first CD-only independent record label in the United States, Rykodisc was founded in 1983 (or 1984) in Salem, Massachusetts, by Arthur Mann, Rob Simonds, Doug Lexa and Don Rose. The word "ryko" means approximately "sound from a flash of light" in Japanese, a reference to their intention to concentrate on the then-new compact disc technology. In the late 1980s, the label also began to issue high-quality cassette and vinyl versions of many releases under the name Ryko Analogue.

Rykodisc had some notable successes in the CD-reissue industry, as artists such as Elvis Costello, David Bowie, Yoko Ono, Frank Zappa and Mission of Burma allowed Rykodisc to issue their catalogs on CD. Rykodisc still retains the rights to the Zappa and Mission of Burma catalogs. Rykodisc also has re-released the classic SST Records-era recordings by the Meat Puppets.

Over the years the label has acquired Hannibal Records, Tradition Records, Gramavision Records and Restless Records, as well as founded a distribution company, Ryko Distribution and a music publishing company, Rykomusic. The label's catalogue now exceeds 1,200 titles.

On March 23, 2006, it was announced that Warner Music Group acquired the Ryko Corporation for $67.5 million.”

Needless to say, our new alliance with Ryko Distribution greatly enhances the sales potential of our releases and their availability.

We are however, still in a state of flux and transition. As you can imagine, we are currently set with the task of transferring all of our data including release info, sales info and history, inventory figures, etc. We will be working as fast as possible to get everything back on track and ask you to have just a little patience while we get set up.

Viva KGD Media!

NEW BEGINNINGS

2008-01-11T16:19:00.000-05:00

Dear esteemed friends and partners,

Please be rest assured that KGD Media will NOT be closing! We cannot announce exactly how or with whom we will be continuing with yet, but be rest assured that we’ve been working very hard at finding an appropriate solution.

Infact, if everything goes as planned, we will be in an even better position than ever to distribute your releases moving forward.

We promise to make the announcement as soon as everything’s confirmed. Please be patient in the meantime.

We look forward to 2008 being a most prosperous year and bringing you even better service and sales to your releases!

Best regards,
Mark, Andrew, & Max

ALMA / THE SOUL OF BRAZIL IN NEW YORK

2007-10-11T16:28:00.000-04:00

Three years ago, NYC’s Veteran DJ True of radio’s Deeper Than Disco fame got together with percussionist Miller Cruz to create a new Brazilian sound they’ve coined as “neo-Brasilian fusion”. Drawing on their Brazilian roots, they’ve created a sound that has quickly won the world over with big batucada beats and a soulful NYC cool. ALMA ("soul" in Portuguese) "All for the Love of Music & Art" fuses live instrumentation with Brazilian grooves, house, broken beat, and other forms of underground electronica and has received nothing but rave reviews since its start. The idea is to feature the traditional sounds of Brazil, from samba to bossa, and incorporate all the newly inspired sounds coming from a new crop of musicians from Brazil and beyond. The party has featured Louie Vega and The Elements of Life, Joe Claussell, Osunlade, DJ Afro, and countless others.

Dedication and heart takes centerstage on this album with legendary Brazilian soul singer Ed Motta collaborating with Alex Attias (Bel-Air Project, Beatless, Mustang and Catalyst). Ramiro Musotto traveled to the Amazon to record with the Native Indians while SUBA was the late great producer founder of the label Ziriguiboom who met a tragic death. “Valldemossa (Pélé Version)” features a great interview with soccer legend Pélé when he was only 26 years old and Banda Black Rio was the first band to place Brazilian Jazz-Funk on the international scene, back in the late 70’s/early 80’s and has influenced such acts as Jamiroquai and Incognito.

PRESS QUOTES & REVIEWS:

• BPM MAGAZINE:
“ALMA has become one of Gotham City’s premiere monthly events and eclectic underground scenes. Launched in 2004 by creators Joann Jimenez, Manchildblack and resident DJs True and Miller Cruz, the multicultural soiree has evolved into a quintessential spiritual oasis for serious music lovers. Since its inception, Alma has become renowned for its "Neo-Brazilian Fusion" sound that melds live instrumentation with soul, jazz, Brazilian, Afro-Latin, Bossa Nova, deep house and broken beat creating a transcendent nirvana where exotic cosmic vibes converge and disseminate in vibrant hues. It’s not surprising that nitelife veterans like Francois K., Louie Vega, Danny Krivit and Joe Claussell have all been spotted basking in the poly-rhythmic soundscapes among the throngs. This inspired collection features some of the party’s most feverish, crowd-pleasing anthems including offerings from Azymuth, 4Hero, Richard Dorfmeister, Suba, Restless Soul, Belladonna, Slope and Alex Attias. This is a must-have for fans of Body & Soul, Dance Ritual, Roots and The Loft.” -- Craig Roseberry
• BATANGA (Aug/Sept 2007 Issue):
"There is nothing like Brazilian music to bring out the good vibes. Mixed by DJ True and Miller Cruz (the main record spinners at NYC’s amazing ALMA parties), The Soul of Brazil taps into the eclectic Brazilian sound that made these parties successful. You get some funky wah-wah on Azymuth’s "Partido Novo" and by the time you get to Karizma’s percussion filled mix of "The Caribou", there is no question about who owns the soul of Brazil in New York." -- Rodrigo Salazar
• STRAIGHT NO CHASER (Summer 2007 Issue):

ATTENTION CUSTOMERS AND PARTNERS!

2007-08-13T10:06:00.000-04:00

Verizon has promised to fix the line but until then, we may have delays in responding to your orders, phone inquiries and emails. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that service is restored in the near future.

OUT OF LINE & WAVE MUSIC JOIN KGD MEDIA!

2007-07-10T15:17:00.000-04:00

Legendary German industrial label Out Of Line and iconic NYC deep house n' dub label Wave Music have joined the KGD Media roster! Rivetheads the world over know that Out Of Line is the home to some of the greatest and most well known artists within the industrial scene. Some of these artists include Norwegian sensation Combichrist (the newest band from Andy LaPlegua, ex-Icon Of Coil/Panzer AG/Scandy), Hocico, Blutengel, God Module and Spetsnaz. KGD also has the honor of distributing their partners for the States: Mach XX, Masterhit Recordings and Fear Section. Current offerings from these labels include: Northborne, Cinderella Effect and Thora.

On the flip side comes Francois K.'s Wave Music. Says Wave: "Wave Music was started in 1995 as a means to release cutting-edge but timeless music that doesn't necessarily fit the norm of what most people come to expect of a New York 'dance' indie label. Rather than concentrating on a specific style, the label's mission has been to bring out an eclectic and musically varied selection of music. Through its association with some of dance music's finest artists, producers and DJ's, Wave has in the span of a short few years achieved a reputation for excellence and innovation in this crowded field." This couldn't be truer and with such dynamic releases from not only FK but also from New York's dubby tech house beatmaker Beat Pharmacy and Philly's deep and soulful King Britt. KGD will also carry Wave's partner Chez as well as the imprints WaveTec and Deep Space.

We're Moving!

2007-06-07T17:22:00.000-04:00

KGD Media along with our friends and partners Syntax Distribution are moving warehouses and offices our new location in Woodside, NY. Please note that we will be moving during June 20th-25th, so there might be some slight delays in responding to your emails and questions.

We thank each and every one of you for your support and business and our new facility will enable us to bring you even better service.

HELALYN FLOWERS debut EPCD

2007-05-30T15:24:00.000-04:00

Beautiful people and excellent music come together as Italy's Helalyn Flowers, the project duo of Max and singer N0emi. With two self-produced singles ("Disconnection" and "E-Race Generation") under their belt, Helalyn Flowers were instantly noticed by such magazines as Italy's famous rock/metal magazine Flash, Britain's Kaleidoscope and Germany’s Sonic Seducer magazine. Subsequently, Alfa Matrix's own A&R Seba Dolimont offered the band a contract. Out this summer in the US is the band's label debut EP Plaestik which will be released as a limited edition DJ boxset. So what do they actually sound like? Well, we had the chance to listen to the full EP and got a rich cocktail of Goth Rock, Industrial, Alternative, Dark Electronic Downbeat and Pop. Both members have dabbled in the past with nu-metal but threw that to the wayside in 2004 to give birth to a more electro infested sound. In addition, Plaestik comes as a delicious starter before the main course: their full-length album A Voluntary Coincidence coming soon. Helalyn Flowers is therefore possibly one of the hottest signings by Alfa Matrix this year!

From TresorBerlin.com:

Tresor re-opens in its new location on Thursday May 24th, 2007 - with Sven Väth on the decks! Exceptional electronic music in our new home.

After a compulsory one-year break, we're really happy to announce the opening of the new Tresor Club.

With its industrial character and massive space, the former power station on Köpenickerstrasse 59-73 - part of the Vattenfall compound - offers us an amazing environment for the implementation of our ideas and the creation of new perspectives.

Thanks to the tireless efforts and support from our partners, the club will be structured with three floors: the "Batterieraum" as the legitimate successor to the legendary Globus; the "+4 Bar" with its magical view into the old power station ruins; and of course the Tresor basement floor which can be reached through a 30-meter long tunnel.

On May 24th, 2007 we will start with a very special guest: Sven Väth celebrates a well-awaited comeback in Berlin after a three-year absence!

Thereafter Tresor will be open every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and also for special events.

Tresor. Back in May.

Best wishes,
Tresor

PUNK TV Review In PLAYBOY MAGAZINE!

2007-03-08T11:17:00.000-05:00

Siberia’s own Punk TV defines its musical style as “indie-tronica”– a mixture of air and movement with guitar riffs, solid rhythm, and occasional vocals. Their sound is soft, yet at the same time dynamic, with diffused chord structures and melodies of electronic romanticism. All band members grew up going to the same school in Novosibirsk. Together they studied advanced English and were influenced by the foreign music like American indie-rock, Brit-pop and electronica. During the three years of Punk TV’s existence, the Russian press have compared their sound with Muse, Sonic Youth and Joy Division. However, after performing live at several major Russian and European festivals the band was dubbed as the “Russian Chemical Brothers.”

Now the lads are featured in the latest issue of Playboy Magazine both in print and in their online edition!:

In addition, PunkTV's "Snowboy (12-inch remix)" is available as Playboy's Free MP3 Download of the Month!:
