ANNOUNCING LINEUP FOR BUKU MUSIC + ART PROJECT: MARCH 17-18, 2012

Ground-breaking festival in New Orleans attracts Grammy-nominated electronic, hip-hop and indie artists

NEW ORLEANS, LA, January 17, 2012 – Winter Circle Productions in association with MCP Presents announces the full artist lineup and unveils a fresh website for the Buku Music + Art Project. Joining a stacked lineup headlined by Grammy-nominated artists Skrillex, Avicii and Wiz Khalifa are EDM and hip-hop veterans Diplo, YelaWolf, Big K.R.I.T., and Big Gigantic and several emerging artists such as Porter Robinson, SBTRKT, and Figure. The new progressive music event takes place March 17-18, 2012 at Mardi Gras World in New Orleans.

“The line between hip-hop and electronic music is becoming increasingly blurred,” says Reeves Price, co-founder of Winter Circle Productions. “There isn’t anything else out there that is purposefully fusing the two genres… and the BUKU Project aims to fill that void. It’s what New Orleans is all about.”

This new event for the younger generation of the Gulf Coast takes a cue from NOLA’s hip-hop and bounce-driven underbelly and combines it with the most relevant electronic dance music producers in the world for what is sure to be a unique weekend in America’s most unique town.

Sunburn, Asia’s biggest electronic dance music festival, comes together with United for an initiative ‘Leave no Trace’ urging one and all to recycle, reuse and restore.

Mumbai, November 2011: Sunburn, Asia’s biggest electronic dance music festival, is joining hands with United, a social awareness foundation, to inculcate a sense of environmental responsibility in the minds of the youth through its “Leave No Trace” campaign. Through the simple & smart principles of “recycle, reuse and restore”, Sunburn is furthering United’s cause of spreading awareness on an eco- friendly lifestyle with the entire Sunburn community.

A step towards being more environmentally responsible, “Leave no Trace” reaches out to the free-spirited youthful fans of Sunburn to make it one of the most eco- friendly festivals in Asia. Along with recycling garbage cans for plastic, glass and other items spread across Candolim Beach, the alcohol glasses at Sunburn will have captions like “Trash Me” and “I Deserve a Bin”. Volunteers along with Sunburn enthusiasts will have the opportunity to clean the venue during and after the event, to restore the beach to its original beauty.

The Sunburn crowd will also be paying their respects to the “Leave no Trace” campaign as the entire lighting of the Sunburn event will be switched off for five minutes, with the crowds waving neon sticks to pledge their support for energy conversation. There will be an innovatively created tree structure at the Sunburn venue, where people can interactively participate in the campaign, leaving messages and tips on how to make “Leave no Trace” part of your daily lives. Also, the famous flea markets at Sunburn will also be part of the campaign with the “Leave no Trace Library”, where people can donate and borrow books, thus promoting reusing of paper.

Commenting on the “Leave no Trace” campaign, Mr. Shailendra Singh, Joint Managing Director, Percept Limited said, “We are very proud to partner with United for the “Leave no Trace” campaign. Through Sunburn, we are able to reach out the future generation of the youth, and make them aware of the importance of environmental sustainability. This is a very crucial goal, and we are honored to use Sunburn as a platform for the youth to make a positive change in the world. ”

Sunburn’s “Leave no Trace” campaign along with United is all about inculcating these simple principles of “recycle, reuse and restore” into our daily lifestyles and respect the environment as it is our own backyard.

Suryoday Trust Associates With Pitbull India Concert 2011

Thu, 24 Nov 2011 14:52:15 +0000

Suryoday Trust Associates With Pitbull India Concert 2011

Suryoday Trust’s Maharashtra President Mr. Punit Balan under the guidance of respected P.P. Shri Bhaiyyuji Maharaj runs social service programmes in the field of health, agriculture, education, environment, children and women’s welfare. The said trust has its presence in more than 4 states with more than 140 projects that work towards the betterment of the nation and upliftment of the underprivileged section of society.

One of the foundations under the trust, Suryoday Aids Foundation primarily works towards providing HIV affected children with a holistic approach of prevention, treatment, care and support apart from creating awareness related to AIDS across the globe. The said foundation has already established institutes in Pune and Akola to provide these affected children with food, clothing, shelter, medical aid and education. There are almost 100 children who get unconditional love and respect under one roof.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Punit Balan, a successful businessman turned social worker states “The country has witnessed a sharp rise in the deadly diseases over the years and unfortunately there are inadequate resources and machinery through which the rehabilitation and recuperation of affected persons can be ensured. In order to eradicate the social stigma surrounding AIDs, we have started this organization to solve this problem and provide appropriate relief to victims. It gives us immense pleasure to be associated with an internationally acclaimed personality like Pitbull who in turn will champion our efforts across the globe. The youth is the builder of the future and what better way to reach out to the youth than by associating with a concert of this magnitude “.

Let’s champion this cause with the P3P Pitbull India Tour 2011 scheduled to take place in Noida, Mumbai and Pune in December. The event is supported by 3rd Rock Entertainment, Big Dream Entertainment and Cross Bar Entertainment Pvt. Ltd.

Vocal Trash – Environmental Performers

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 07:13:34 +0000

Vocal Trash – Environmental Performers – This Dynamic ‘Green Team’ Recycles imaginations while Redefining The Meaning Of High Octane Entertainment

Fort Worth, TX, September 16, 2011 – Vocal Trash is a unique troupe of environmental performers who have been engaging audiences nationwide with their exciting brand of entertainment. They have made guest appearances on Fox 21 in Colorado, on Good Morning Texas, and been featured in various newspaper articles.

2011 marks the tenth anniversary of this exciting, energetic group whose music is a mixture of pop, rock, swing and classic oldies that relates to all ages and crosses many cultural barriers. During this ten year period they have not only brought top rate, upbeat entertainment to audiences, but have used their music to make a positive influence on children by bringing awareness to our planet – quite a legacy to leave for future generations.

Their combination of traditional instruments together with a percussion section made of trash cans, metal objects, water bottles and other recycled items, makes a uniquely exciting presentation that teaches children to use their imagination in a meaningful and lasting way when it comes to recycling. By incorporating items that would normally end up in a landfill into their performance, they have created a powerful tool to reach young minds and made it fun!

Their energetic, high octane show is a hit at every venue – whether it’s Vegas, Madison Square Garden, State Fairs or corporate events. In demand nationwide, Vocal Trash plays to a full house at every performance. Audiences love their unique blend of first class singing, industrial style drumming, comedy antics, and award-winning break-dancing – described as “Glee with a kick!” “It’s an energy thing,” says creator Steve Linder. This may just well be an understatement. Unlike many shows, it is the entire troupe that makes this seamless ensemble performance such a thrilling and enlightening experience. Their whole performance is an astounding display of excellence, synchronization, excitement, precision and musicianship. When it comes to diversity Vocal Trash is, without a doubt, the ultimate variety show woven in urban tapestry. This talented team has been incorporating recycling into every show for years – long before “green” was cool. Part street performers, part recycling gurus, these entertaining personalities make upcycling and recycling fun for kids of all ages – and makes them one of the most positive role models in entertainment today. While not yet a household name, judging from their fan base it won’t take this Broadway-style stage show long to become one. Their show travels coast to coast, appearing at some of the country’s largest theaters, festivals and state fairs, and during their “off-season” they perform for major corporations like American Airlines. You might ask, “What does recycling have to do with a high energy variety show?” It starts with seven dedicated musicians, extensively trained in the performing arts, who like to get their point across by playing car parts, trash cans, lids, water bottles, barrels, pots, buckets and brooms. Their ‘point,’ featured in their song lyrics and their one-of-a-kind instruments constructed from recycled materials, is that this ‘green team’ is out to save the planet! Please read the amazing testimonials from clients, and check out this dynamic group on their website at: www.vocaltrash.net. ###

Vicki Imperati, Rhinebeck Events & Marketing: “Vocal Trash continues to present a high energy and entertaining show to our fair going public. Without a doubt, one of our most sought after groups at the fair!”
