Set for release in Spring 2010 Rodina’s debut album Over the Sun is a cool blend of chill-out and pop.  Originally from Co. Laois in Ireland she moved to the UK as a youngster and grew up within the diverse Leeds music scene.  Rodina has a unique style of her own and has been compared to Morcheeba, Goldfrapp and legendary singer, Astrud Gilberto.  With ethereal vocals and a great depth in production, her self-penned songs are catchy and embracing.  Over The Sun features The Haggis Horns (Mark Ronson's live band - and horn section for Amy Winehouse & Jamiroquai) and Joe Tatton (Corinne Bailey Rae & The New Mastersounds) who also produced the album.  March sees the release of two taster tracks with the double-A side single Always Had A Dream & Over The Sun.  2010 should be a great year for Rodina.

The low-budget Welsh comedy, A Bit of Tom Jones, has become a surprise cinema hit.  It's sold out to audiences in South Wales and is set to go nationwide after its red-carpet premiere in London's Leicester Square on 25th January.  It's  the debut film from writer & director, Peter Watkins-Hughes and features a bevy of Welsh actors including Eve Myles (Gwen Cooper in the BBC's Torchwood) and Margaret John (Doris in the BBC sitcom Gavin and Stacey).  Peter Watkins-Hughes also selected the music for the soundtrack and he chose wisely and funkily from Freestyle Records including Pure Filth, Rusty, For You & Touch My Soul from the Lack Of Afro album 'Press On'.


Adam Gibbons, the young man at the centre of the Lack Of Afro phenomenon, has established an unrivalled reputation as one of the most crucial names at work in funk and dance music today.  The 2007 debut album Press On was a labour of love for Adam who applied his skills as producer/DJ, composer & multi-instrumentalist to create this contemporary classic.  With My Groove, Your Move, the follow-up album released on Freestyle in October 2009, Lack Of Afro dispels the ‘"difficult second album" syndrome without breaking a sweat.  The signature Lack Of Afro elements remain with tracks like Special Baby, Mo' Filth & Beautiful Here and Adam introduces vocal contributions from Wax & Herbal T on International & the amazing Roxie Ray (Dojo Cuts) on Tell Me What Happens Now.  My Groove, Your Move is without doubt an even more confident, assured and mature collection than its predecessor. 

Taiwanese singing sensation Rainie Yang's 2008/9 Sony/BMG chart album's title track 半熟宣言 Ban Shou Xuan Yan (Not Yet A Woman) was written by Gary Mill, Nic Williams & Jacob Skarin.  Rainie's career began in 2000 in the girl band 4 In Love she then hosted TV shows which led to her becoming a major success as an actress in 2005 in the CTV drama Devil Beside You.  Her career took off and that same year she released her 1.5 million selling debut album My IntuitionNot Yet A Woman is Rainie's fourth album and it's the second slice of success for BWP writers, Gary Mill & Nic Williams for the title track was a smash hit in 2002 for Germany's Rollergirl as Geisha Dreams.

Music Like Dirt

Originally released in 1973 Star Trek did little to attract the record-buying public's interest; the passing of the years has resulted in the album achieving cult status among both Reggae fans and the trendy Easy Listening set.  Written & produced by Music Like Dirt's Desmond Bryan & Webster Shrowder together with Joe Sinclair & Bunny Lee this Moog synthesizer reggae extravaganza features Star Trek & Dracula and nine more original classics.  It's a re-release that's out of this world!
