EMI Music to establish talent agency in Japan

TOKYO, 29 NOVEMBER 2007

EMI Music Japan is establishing a new talent management division, EMI Entertainment Japan, as part of the company’s mission to enhance and broaden the services it offers to artists.

Complementing the existing EMI Music Japan record business, EMI Entertainment Japan will manage all other areas of artists’ careers including music publishing, merchandising, live, TV and the many emerging opportunities being created by new technologies.

While music will be at the heart of EMI Entertainment Japan, the company also plans to expand its client base into the wider talent business, for example celebrity and sport.

The company will include the existing Great Hunting team which was established by EMI Music Japan last year and has grown into a highly regarded A&R group.

The first three artists on the EMI Entertainment Japan roster are Mio Isayama and Shione Yukawa, both established EMI Music Japan artists, and new Great Hunting-signing KUMAMI.

Mio Isayama has released seven albums since her debut in 2002, Shione Yukawa has released three albums since her first in 2005, and KUMAMI will make his debut through EMI Music Japan in January.

EMI Entertainment Japan will be run by president Junya Nakasone who originally started the artist management team within EMI Music Japan back in 2005. He reports to Shoji Doyama, president and CEO of EMI Music Japan.

Shoji Doyama said: “We are very excited about the potential of this new division which will help to expand the support and services we provide to all talented artists and create fresh opportunities for them to develop their careers.“

Debut Single ' Nitrogen Pink'
Out This Week On 10" and Download

Visual, emotional, dreamlike: 'Nitrogen Pink' opens the lid on Mute's extraordinary new talent, Polly Scattergood. At only 22, Polly has already been honing her craft for ten years, creating songs that provoke an immediate response, spinning tales of drama, delight and deceit that conjure a world where nothing is quite as it first appears to be.

Whereas 'Nitrogen Pink' is uplifting on the surface, Polly's lyrics allude to something more tragic. As Polly points out, "You only have so many Wednesdays in your life, don't you?"

Nitrogen Pink is produced by Simon Fisher Turner and will be released on limited edition 10" and download.

THE WHITEST BOY ALIVE DREAMS OUT NOW !!!

Yay, it's out but it's also the silly season in record land so you'll need to look behind the rows stacked with dad compilations, Leona Lewis and Now That's What I Call Music CDs and hunt down the beautifully created album by The Whitest Boy Alive.

Not only is it a perfect record for winter, the artwork was created by Geoff McFetridge (he who worked with the likes of Spike Jonze & Sophia Coppola and designed the Boycott Esso campaign). It even includes a pull out poster.

Obviously it's on iTunes too, but can we ask you for a favour? If you go to a store and don't see it let them know you want it so we can muscle in as a collective posse. Apparently it's too 'indie' for the Xmas punter...what a load of rubbish.

Alternatively you can have the deluxe edition album delivered free to you for just £8.99

Also, remember their show is on February 7th. It's definitely going to sell out soon (700 tix have already been sold) so if you'd like to go we'd recommend buying a ticket soon.

MODULAR PARTY OF THE YEAR - ALL PRE-EVENT TIX HAVE BEEN SOLD

Alas they sold out, but we're opening up some extra space and the final 300 tickets will be available on the door.
But we advise you to be early (like 8pm) or late (like 1am). The party goes till 7am so you'll be fine.

All tix at the door will be £20.

OK, a few times for you...

Buraka & The Kills will be on at 1:30 am in Rooms 2 & 3, Count of Monte Cristal and Sinden at midnight in Room 1 followed by MSTRKRFT followed by Busy P. Yo Yo's Seb & Leo will be kicking things off in Room 2 around 10pm. Mighty Boosh will also be on at midnight.

Also, all the DJs will be playing a 30 minute disco set in a top secret room with Karl 'Stevie' Lagerfeld. We're not gonna tell you where it is, you gotta find it.

Gonna be massive. First 400 in get special 3D glasses for the customised visuals throughout the club.

Janet Jackson's as-yet-untitled debut album for Island Def Jam will be released in February. The artist is also prepping a worldwide tour to promote the follow-up to 2006's "20 Y.O." In addition, Jackson has signed with the William Morris Agency for representation in all areas. Jackson comes to the company after a starring role in Tyler Perry's hit "Why Did I Get Married?" She will be repped by a team of agents led by Dave Wirtschafter and Charles King that will run across multiple divisions of the agency, including film, touring, licensing and merchandising, television, theater, publishing and new technology. Jackson said she was attracted to the agency because of its long history. She continues to be repped by managers Johnny Wright and Kenneth Crear as well as attorney Don Passman. As for Jackson's new album, it is being executive produced by Def Jam CEO Antonio "L.A." Reid rather than Jackson's boyfriend, Island Urban president Jermaine Dupri.

Greetings Loveboxers!

What an autumn it's been for us here at Lovebox. Following Groove Armada's sold out 10th anniversary 'GA10' UK tour, which we wrapped up with one seriously good (and seriously over subscribed, sorry if you were locked out!) after party in London, we bring more good tidings your way - in the shape of a December Winter Ball AND a new 12 inch featuring four remixes AND some hot sounds for the cold winter months in the shape of a free downloadable mix from Severino taken from the epic June Boat Party.

Andy, Tom and The Lovebox Allstars partied on with a smashin' crowd at the sold out after party at Brixton's Dex Club. The loft room was beautifully warmed up by daddy disco, Frank Tope, before The RGB's performed their unique synthy electro pop, taking to the stage like fluorescent ducks to water. The US soul legend Gwen McCrae then stepped up to the mic and rare grooved some fancy footwork while she belted out her house hits. Her dynamic set had the crowd on their knees and eating out of the hands of the hosts, who DJd to the early hours.

Missed out? Well make sure that doesn't happen again. Tickets for our Winter Ball on Saturday December 8th are selling fast. We're laying on a proper yuletide boogie for you to get all cheerily festive at. Expect an electrifying 4-deck party throw-down from The Nextmen, italo-house from Horsemeat Disco's legendary Severino, and everything from Dizzee Rascal to Girls Aloud from Sonny J, a turntablist into 70s soul, TV and film tracks and 21st-century psychedelic soul. We've also got Radio One's ambassador of-all-that's-cool-in-new-music Rob da Bank, the new live sensation The RGB's (its those ladies with their keyboards again), The Black Ghosts (Simian's Simon Lord and The Wiseguys' Theo Keating), Zach Beers, who's coming out of retirement to demonstrate why he is one of the country's finest purveyors of rare and northern soul, plus John Young and
The Lovebox Allstars.

Leftfield disco, rare groove, soul classic, dirty funk nuggets and a few Christmas surprises. It's sure to sell out so hurry, hurry...

Tickets available from Ticketweb.co.uk

Lovebox Christmas Party 8th December 8pm-3am, £12.
229 Club, 229 Great Portland Street, W1W 5PN (020 7323 7229).

That's not all that's happening in December. If you've been to the kind of clubs we like to frequent you may have already heard the first Lovebox Music Company 12inch release, a fantastic four track EP of remixes off of this year's Groove Armada LP "Soundboy Rock". "Exquisite" said the office cleaner. "Banging like a good un" said Jools Butterfield's mum. Released Dec 3rd, you can preorder your copy via our website or from Rough Trade.

Kevin Dubrow, 52, Quiet Riot frontman

Singer found dead in Las Vegas home

By VARIETY STAFF

Kevin Dubrow, lead singer for the 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot, was found dead Sunday in a Las Vegas home. He was 52.

The cause and manner of death were not immediately known, pending an autopsy and toxicology results, said the Clark County Coroner’s Office. Quiet Riot was perhaps best known for its 1983 cover of the song “Cum on Feel the Noize.”

"I can't even find words to say," Banali wrote. "Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend Kevin DuBrow." *

Though DuBrow was open about his substance-abuse issues -- last year's Quiet Riot album was titled "Rehab" and contained the track "Old Habits Die Hard" -- his recent health had been good. Quiet Riot finished a substantial U.S. tour in September.*

Quiet Riot’s most recent album was “Rehab” in 2006.

NEWSSOURCEDOTCOM: RUSSELL WATSON

Dear International Russell Watson fans. Some of you may be aware that Russell was rushed to hospital recently while making the fininshing touches to his forthcoming album.

Russell's management recently released the following statement:

Russell is presently recovering at home. He had been advised by both ourselves and his record label to delay the scheduled release of his new record. His response was resolute and in his own words "there is absolutely no way that this record is to be delayed". "After what I have just been through and with the near future in doubt it is unclear when and if there will be a good time to release the record. This has led to the decision that I would like the record to go ahead as planned. Although I won't be actively promoting the record it is more for the fans who have waited long enough for this".

Russell's management said 'With it still uncertain of when and if he will have to undergo a period of radiotherapy treatment we cannot make any more plans for the near future'.

Russell has also sent a personal message:

To all my wonderful, caring and loyal fans, you have once again been there for me when it mattered. I don't know where to start or if words can truly expresses the emotions I have felt in the last 3 weeks. Firstly I want to thank every single person who has sent get well wishes and gifts. This show of support and love, along with the love that I have received from my family & friends has really been the difference in helping me get through such a difficult time. There is still uncertainty ahead but with all your support I am sure it will make the journey ahead a little less fraught.

All my love.

Russell
