Hey There, Happy New Year!

Hope 2007 has started off well for you. I am happy and honoured to
announce I have again been sampled and/or remixed on a couple of tunes from a brand new release by fellow Magnatune Artist-Producer, Fourstones. Fourstones teams up with lo tag blanco on Je Suis Un Trio where you will hear samples and parts of Je'n Suis Desoleè in a whole new funky, worldly way. I'm The 1 tag is used in I'm The 1 and suddenly I have become a tenor in this chunky NINish feeling tune, very cool. The album is a little raucus, a little funky and a whole lotta fun. Make sure you download a copy and you can listen before you buy too

*****************************************
Here is the promo blurb from magnatune:
Magnatune Remixed: Ridin' The Faders 2
http://magnatune.com/artists/albums/fourstones-magnaremix2 We were thrilled when we heard that Victor Stone, Lo Tag Blanco, Pat Chilla, and other ccMixter superstars were once again planning to have their way with the Magnatune catalog. Unlike the legions of Buddha Bar clones that have sprung up worldwide, Stone draws from a wider palette than most remixers ever consider, and the result is that his tracks are not merely sleek and cool--they're actually musically interesting! "I'm The I" is an especially hot one and of course we flipped over the Magnatune-themed "We Are Not Evil" track featuring Clarance Boddyker, a South Bronx rapper with style to burn. Oh and check out the very last track to hear a voice that may be familiar.

*******************************************
Victor remixed my song Be Brave on Fourstones Chronic Dreams and my song Intimate Hour is sampled on Til My Cup Runs Over on La Vie Chill also by Fourstones.
http://magnatune.com/artists/four_stones Keep Well, Warm and Toasty(we are in a bit of a deep freeze here in Vancouver yet again.)
Cheers,
Norine
