Benedetti Classical Violinist, UK Album Charts (Ahead of Justin Bieber)

 "Chasing vacuous fame as if it's something in itself just isn't remotely fulfilling. This obsession must be fought against." Twenty-five-year-old violinist Nicola Benedetti thinks about every word she says incredibly carefully. It's no surprise as, since she won the BBC Young Musician Of The Year Award in 2004 at the tender age of 16, she's been in the spotlight. She caused a minor media stir in 2007 when she criticized the cult of celebrity in classical music (and with it some of her fellow soloists) and has always been very outspoken in her views. Hugely articulate and with a passion for music education it's clear she's a musician with a soapbox.

Classical violinist Nicola Benedetti topped Justin Bieber 
on this week's UK album charts

De-Phazz - Hell Alright | Tango dance video


De-Phazz - Hell Alright

De Phazz is a downtempo jazz ensemble integrating modern turntablism and elements of soul, latin, trip hop and drum and bass into a lounge music sound. De Phazz is led by Pit Baumgartner, a German producer who changes his crew for every new album. Some of the more permanent members are Karl Frierson and Pat Appleton. Since the release of Detunized Gravity and Godsdog, De Phazz have appeared on the radar of listeners of equally innovative and sample-driven jazz by the likes of Amon Tobin and The Cinematic Orchestra.

Bonobo Stay The Same Black Sands Andreya Triana

 Bonobo 'Black Sands' vocals featuring Andreya Triana


Bonobo, the stage name of Simon Green is a British musician, producer and DJ. Bonobo uses a wide variety of samples in his music combined with heavy, often complex basslines. His music generally develops linearly - with new elements such as basslines or percussion coming in one after the other. In Days to Come, he mixes this sonic background with the clean yet distinctive vocals of Andreya Triana & Bajka, who often uses harmony to build up a multifaceted sound.
http://ninjatune.net/artist/bonobo

 Over the last couple of years, Bonobo has become one of the premier artists on the Ninja Tune imprint and certainly one of the most listened to, with over 16 million plays recorded on LastFM. His combination of superb live shows and studio wizardry means that he is now perfectly placed to push on into a yet bigger league. With 'Black Sands', Bonobo has made the record to achieve it.

Green’s first release came on Luis’ label, Tru Thoughts, when his track “Terrapin” was included on the compilation “When Shapes Join Together” in 1999. His debut album, “Animal Magic” followed the next year, completely self-produced and largely self-played, too. Hailed as one of the “new downtempo pioneers,” Green found himself attracting the attention of other labels and eventually signed to Ninja Tune.
