Their fifth full-length studio album, “Evil Urges” is the most far-ranging, surprising, and satisfying record of the band’s career. Have a go at remixing the freak-funk electro-slam of “Highly Suspicious” for your chance to win.
Rebirth Brass Band, a New Orleans institution, evolved from playing the streets of the French Quarter to playing festivals and stages all over the world. Committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands, while at the same time incorporating modern music into their show, their signature brand of heavy funk has been winning over hearts for almost three decades.
Beats Antique is an Oakland, CA based group forging a curious alliance between middle eastern traditions and potent west coast circus, underground hip hop, breakbeat brass band, downtempo, glitch and dubstep. Their paradoxical brand of electro-acoustic music is perfect fodder for the savvy remixer.

The location-based mobile social game Foursquare has to date has held more promise for the music industry than actual results. But that’s starting to change as Foursquare and VH1 have teamed for a sweepstakes running through Oct. 10.
Foursquare users can now unlock the “VH1 Fanatic Badge” by simply “following” VH1 through a custom landing page on the Foursquare site: foursquare.com/vh1. Joining gives users access to the sweepstakes which offers the chance to win VIP access to an unlimited number of concerts from an as-yet unnamed participating venue. Signing up also provides music tips from artists like Kelly Rowland, and other artists popular on the VH1 network.
Beyond that it’s unclear exactly how VH1 plans to integrate the Foursquare location service into live events. VH1 is a media sponsor of the upcoming Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, where all stages will be check-in points. However the press release announcing the news didn’t list a single participating venue as being involved. And venues is really where the Foursquare app really shines.
Bigger news will come when popular local venues integrate Foursquare into their promotional strategies for pre-event, in-show, and post-event activities.
