ARTIST INFO:

Big Data (New Album, 2.0, to be released March 24) - Paranoid electronic artist Big Data saw major success in 2014 with his hit single "Dangerous (feat. Joywave)," which claimed the #1 spot on the Alternative chart at Billboard, has been one of the longest charting songs of 2014,and is preparing to impact at Top 40 in February. Big Data was named one of Rolling Stone's "10 Artists You Need to Know" and USA Today's "On the Verge" artist, with coverage in Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, and a performance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Big Data, led by mastermind Alan Wilkis, will release his album 2.0 on March 24, which features guest appearances from Twin Shadow, Rivers Cuomo, White Sea, Kimbra, Jamie Lidell and many more.

 

Dylan Gardner - Dylan Gardner is one of a new breed of young artists for whom the internet is a great education. He has taught himself to be a multi-instrumentalist, pro-tools engineer, and bedroom producer (though it's not your typical bedroom; the closet has been turned into a vocal booth).Did we mention that Dylan is 18?  None of this would matter if Dylan's songs weren't so effortlessly, effervescently extraordinary. Innocent yet sophisticated, classic but up-to-the-minute, and utterly comfortable and confident in his own skin, Dylan is a major talent. In 2013, he signed to Big Deal Music Publishing, and recorded his debut album Adventures in Real Time co-produced with John Dragonetti of the Submarines. It was released on WBR on January 1st.

Funk Volume - Funk Volume is one of the most successful independent hip-hop record and production companies in music today.  Founded in 2009 with the idea of protecting the integrity of the artist's vision, the label is home to co-founder and artist Hopsin, Dizzy Wright, Jarren Benton, SwizZz and producers DJ Hoppa and Kato.  Several of their artists have graced XXL magazine's Freshman Class list as a result of their organic and rabid following.

 

Greg Holden  (New album, Chase The Sun, to be released April 14) - Scottish-born singer-songwriter Greg Holden will release his major label debut Chase The Sun on April 14 Produced by Greg Wells (Adele, One Republic), featuring new single "Hold On Tight". He's best known for writing the massive Phillip Phillip's single hit "Home" that sold five million tracks in the U.S. and landed Holden an ASCAP Pop Award. He also released "The Lost Boy", which hit No. 1 on iTunes in Holland, raised over $50,000 for the Red Cross, and was featured in the fifth season of Sons of Anarchy. Album Stream: https://soundcloud.com/myworldmgmt/sets/gh_chase-the-sun/s-tbnVt

 

Mystery Skulls - Mystery Skulls is an electronic dance-oriented neo-soul and vintage disco-influenced outfit centered around lead singer/songwriter Luis Dubuc. Formed in Dallas, Texas in 2010, Mystery Skulls grew out of Dubuc's previous project the Secret Handshake. In 2011, Dubuc debuted the first Mystery Skulls album, the five-track EP, which included the single "Amazing." In 2012, buoyed by a strong online following, Dubuc relocated the band to Los Angeles. In 2014, Mystery Skulls released their full-length debut album, Forever, on Warner Bros. Records which features appearances from Nile Rodgers, Brandy and Snowblood.

 

Priory - Portland duo Priory sold everything they had, built a studio in an old cement factory and crafted their own signature breed of alt-pop.  Their anthemic song "Weekend" has been making waves on pop and alternative radio and will appear on their April 2015 Warner Bros. Records debut, Need To Know.  "Weekend" was featured on ESPN's SportsCenter throughout football season, and the band can be heard in the latest Taco Bell commercial. You can catch them on tour this spring with Kaiser Chiefs, and they'll be making appearances at SXSW, Bonnaroo and Governor's Ball.

 

Twin Shadow, aka George Lewis, Jr., is on a headlining tour behind his third album 'Eclipse,' out March 17th. Listen to new single 'I'm Ready.' The album was recorded at the historic chapel at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, one of George's many sources of inspiration in his new home of Los Angeles after relocating from New York a few years ago. The Dominican Republic-born, Florida-bred Lewis adopted the Twin Shadow moniker in 2006. He has released two previous albums on indie labels Terrible and 4AD, 2010's 'Forget' and 2012's 'Confess.' Live performances opening for Florence & the Machine and The Strokes, appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo, plus his own headlining shows have earned George a reputation as a charismatic and compelling frontman. He has also performed on 'Letterman,' 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' and 'Conan'. His track 'Old Love, New Love' featured in 'Grand Theft Auto V' was named one of the best songs of 2013 by Rolling Stone.
