PATRICK WHETMAN "GOAT MUSIC ONE" JUDMUSIC-CD003
The creative force behind " Goat Music One ", Paddy Whetman has produced music in a
wide variety of styles ranging from 'death reggae', in"' Pipes from Hell ' to
'celtic techno' in " Bagpipes make my balls itch ". Although mostly 'dance'
music his approach has always been to avoid limiting his music to one style,
allowing compositions to go in their own directions, with often surprising
results. In his musical career, Paddy has played in numerous bands,
including his own creation, " Hamish McDoodle and the kicking Keltic kaos
krew ", with Ali Roberts (Ali Agogo) and Steve Green (Mr Modesty). Hamish was
a character he created to front the band, dressed in kilt, horned helmet and
goatskin waistcoat decorated with bones and feathers.
Much of the music features the Eryri bagpipes, Hamish's side kick. The
pipes were designed and built by Paddy, an experienced engineer, with a very
ingenious feature. The reed is made of steel and has an electromagnetic
pickup fixed over it so that it can be made to sound like an electric
guitar. Sometimes dubbed 'Jimi Hendrix on the bagpipes', he plugs the
pipes into guitar effects pedals creating powerful distorted and
pitch-shifted sounds, featured heavily on " Yehunsaya " and " Pipes from Hell ".
This, combined with Paddy's innovative production skills, makes this music
unique, never having been done before.

ANDY DREADS "TRIBAL TECHNOLOGIES " JUDMUSIC-CD006
The new six track release on Judmusic Records by DJ / Producer "Andy Pierce" (aka:Andy Dreads) is a mixture of some of the best thought out techno around at present.
"Tribal Technologies" was produced by Andy at "Dogs Shiny Marbles Studios"in North Wales.
As a teenager, Andy formed a band playing the drums and writing the lyrics, (this is where the tribal influences come from), he has always loved percussion and is still playing the drums.
The style of Andy's writing has varied over the years due to changing technology and styles, although it has always maintained a tribal influence ranging from trippy early morning acid techno, to driving peak time tribal tunes which is a tried and tested formula.
Andy's dance night, “Looney Toons” was established in early 1996 and was the longest running night in the area, with many other dance nights since following in his footsteps, although lately it has been on hold due to other commitment and a lack of decent venues.
Andy has always avoided the temptation to play or produce commercial dance music as his passion has always been for techno, he prefers to avoid the mainstream.
This has often proved to be a struggle but Andy has always strived to play something a bit different and unique, he is currently working on a new form of complex syncopated techno, something fresh and very rhythmic instead of the standard bangin' stuff, which is much easier to produce.
Andy describes his music as atmospheric, progressive and intelligent, the basis of which is either a bounce, tribal or a deep, powerful groove but it's not particularly hard or banging and isn't played any faster than other forms of dance music but it incorporates a different type of grove that stimulates movement.
Due to the success of a three track session on Radio Cymru in 2002, Andy's aim is to continue providing an alternative form of dance music to the people of Wales and beyond with the advent his debut album.

DIVESTREAM "Adaptive Radiation " JUDMUSIC-CD009
Formed in 2005 seeking meaning from the suburban malaise in which they were raised, come Sussex based trio "Divestream".
Aaron Call (Vocals/Guitar), Allen Taylor (Bass/Backing Vocals) and Ben Wallington (Drums), three young men signed to independent label Judmusic Records.
In these cynical times of mockney chancers, tabloid junkies and Emo poster boys, "Divestream" offer a surprisingly fresh slant on the guitar/bass/drums formula.
Right from the start as the psychedelic intro of “Now you stand alone” erupts, through to the sonic attack of “Sayonara”, by way of the eerily haunting “Translucent”, their debut long player entitled “Adaptive Radiation” continues the theme of Darwinian theory, by being a record that is both a progressive take on, as well as the antidote to the current over saturated UK rock music scene.
With a string of explosive live shows and a burgeoning Myspace following already under their belt, the band have built a dedicated audience within both London and the South East and will be promoting the album “Adaptive Radiation” extensively throughout 2007.

BARBARA HILLS "Scapes" JUDMUSIC-CD010
Barbara was born in Meriden and grew up in Coventry.
She started out in the visual arts with an honours degree in Fine Art and Education from Reading University.
She worked as a freelance illustrator for five years, which perhaps goes a long way towards explaining why her music is very ‘visual' in concept.
Classically trained from childhood to play the piano, in her teens Barbara gravitated to guitars.
A spell in a folk band added mandolin, whistles, in fact, any instrument she could lay her hands on, to her armoury.
As her interests moved further into composition, she studied sound engineering at Glasshouse Studios and music production software at the Technical College, Coventry, this gave her the knowledge she needed to set up her own studio from which she now works.
SCAPES is in an accessible, melodic, Alternative Classical style using a fusion of modal, folk and contemporary influences within the western classical tradition.
Each track has been inspired by a landscape, seascape or spacescape.
Some tracks tell a story but all are what Barbara describes as ‘painting in sound'.

SINIG "FFLAM" MENAI-CD007
The debut four track single from Sinig entitled ”Fflam”, features the work of Caernarfon singer /songwriter, Dewi Hughes and guitarist / songwriter Chris Dunford.
Dewi and Chris have been working together for the last eighteen months or so on the their songs, culminating in the recording of the single at Stiwdio Eglwys, in the tranquil village of Y Felinheli, North Wales, in the summer of 2007.
The title track “Ddiwed y Fflam” (The end of the flame) written by Dewi and featuring his lyrical take on life, take the listener on a journey that they themselves have probably travelled many times, with the heartfelt lead guitar breaks from Chris, perfectly complimenting Dewi's lyrics.
“Am Ddim” (for free) was written by Chris, and again features his excellent guitar takes, with a chord progression that entrances the listener with its mandolin type effect.
Something that Chris has become known for, is his deft use of his effects at the right time and in the right place, always conscious of how they work around Dewi's, sometimes haunting vocals on this song.
A more downtempo song, “Eli Haul”, written by Dewi, has a kind of “Beatles” style of songwriting style and feel to it, with it's minimal instrumentation in the verses, then a musical lift into the chorus complete with Dewi's lyrical tones swirling around the backing vocals that add to the lonely, been there, done that, still have the T shirt type of message.
The final track on the CD, “Deffra”, (wake up), was again written by Dewi, although unlike the previous three songs, “Deffra” was actually written in the studio during the production of the other tracks.
What started out as an Acoustic song, soon developed into the excellent finished song here, due in no small way to the brilliant rhythm guitar parts and screaming middle eight lead solo from Chris, that was recorded in just one take, he's that good.
Add to all that, Dewi's inspirational vocals that give as much excitement factor to the song, as do the wailing guitars of Mr. Dunford.
This track will definitely have you nodding your head to the rocking beats and playing air guitar when Chris lets rip.
With “Fflam”, Sinig have come up with an amazing radio friendly release, which once listened to, will stay inside the listener's head for quite a while, have a listen to some really nice songs by Sinig and you'll be sure to agree.

You can also catch up with the latest news and gigs from Sinig @ myspace.com/sinig

“Fflam” will be available in all good record and book stores throughout Wales from the 5 th November 2007, along with physical and download sales from our American distributor: CD Baby.com, who supply itunes with all of the releases on the Recordiau Menai Record label.
