Rob Zombie Announces 'The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser' Presale, Reveals Track List
Rob Zombie To Release The Electric
Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy
Celebration Dispenser on April 29
Teams Up With PledgeMusic To Offer
Direct-to-Fan Album Presale
Announces Track Listing
The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser is Rob Zombie’s sixth solo studio album. Produced by Zeuss, it was recorded and mixed at Goathouse Studios. A full return to form by the rock icon, The Electric Warlock… features John 5 (Guitar), Piggy D (Bass) and Ginger Fish (Drums) and will be released on April 29th, 2016 via UMe/T-Boy Records. This album will mark Rob Zombie’s first solo studio album since 2013’sVenomous Rat Regeneration Vendor, which debuted at number 7 on the Billboard 200.
In true Zombie fashion, the design of the record is just as provocative as the music it holds. Featuring art by Alex Horley, the album’s centerfold needs to be seen to be believed. Rob said of the new release, “I can easily say this is my favorite album yet... no joke. Yeah I know every fucking asshole says that. But it is seriously our heaviest most fucked up musical monster to date. One song entitled ‘Well, Everybody's Fucking In a U.F.O.’ is sure to be an instant Zombie classic! Not since Hellbilly Deluxe have I spent this long putting an album together. It was worth it."
To celebrate the release of the new album, Zombie has made a direct presale available via fuckinginaUFO.com where fans can pre-order the new record, as well as purchase exclusive merchandise. In a message to his fans, Zombie reveals: “This time I'm not just putting out a new record like everyone else- I'm offering it directly from me to YOU along with a ton of other limited edition, exclusive badass shit like new album merch, posters and the chance for you to be in THE ELECTRIC WARLOCK ACID WITCH SATANIC ORGY CELEBRATION DISPENSER MOVIE!”
As a rock legend and filmmaker with a unique vision, Zombie has continuously challenged audiences as he stretches the boundaries of both music and film. He has sold more than fifteen million albums worldwide and is the only artist to experience unprecedented success in both music and film as the writer/director of six feature films.
Rob Zombie’s seventh feature film, the highly anticipated 31, will be making its world premiere this month at Sundance Film Festival. Last year he also released his first live album in over eight years, SPOOKSHOW INTERNATIONAL LIVE, which is filled with nineteen tracks from the highlights of Rob’s critically acclaimed US tour of 2014.

"He's packing secret weaponry - a set of searing, souldful new songs.

New Orleans-based brass ensemble, The Soul Rebels, are proud to announce added performance dates to their Sound System tour featuring the legendary Talib Kweli.

In all endeavors, The Soul Rebels manage to transcend genre having recently collaborated live with artists spanning Marilyn Manson, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Kool & The Gang, Robert Glasper, Lettuce and dozens of others within the pop, funk, hip-hop, jazz and jam band worlds.

About The Soul Rebels:The Soul Rebels are riding high into 2016 after recently touring four continents including Europe, Australia, debuting in China and Japan, selling out shows, collaborating live with artists spanning from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Marilyn Manson, Joey Bada$$, Big Freedia, Lettuce, Umphrey's McGee, Robert Glasper, Kool & The Gang, Rakim, Slick Rick, The String Cheese Incident, Black Thought of The Roots, Pharoahe Monch and opening for Bruno Mars. The Soul Rebels start off the year strong with a tour featuring special guest Talib Kweli, complimented by a three night residency at New York's Brooklyn Bowl featuring special guests Big Freedia, Talib Kweli and other iconic artists. The Soul Rebels started with an idea - to expand upon the pop music they loved on the radio and the New Orleans brass tradition they grew up on. They took that tradition and blended funk and soul with elements of hip hop, jazz and rock. The band has settled on an eight-piece lineup and have built a career around an eclectic live show that harnesses the power of horns and drums in the party like atmosphere of a dance club. When not touring, The Soul Rebels' weekly show at New Orleans' Le Bon Temps Roulé is known to erupt with the kind of contagious, shout-along musical mayhem that The Rebels bring with them wherever they perform. The Soul Rebels continue to chart new territory as they combine topnotch musicianship and songs with grooves that celebrate dancing, life, funk and soul.

“Governors Ball once again proved that it's the East Coast's only true great summer festival", wrote Rolling Stone of last year’s incredible fifth anniversary. Now heading into its sixth year, Governors Ball has cemented itself as New York City’s homegrown major music festival, while earning its place as one of the premiere live music events in North America. A feat all the more impressive when considering the “scrappily independent” -- as described by The New York Times -- Founders Entertainment, the promotions company behind the event. In an era of unprecedented consolidation in the live music business, the upstart hometown company successfully launched a world class music festival for fellow NYC music fans to enjoy in their own backyard.
As born and bred New Yorkers, the people behind Governors Ball are also incredibly proud of the economic impact the festival has had for the city and its residents. Governors Ball generated $49 million in economic benefits for New York City in 2015, a 29% increase over the previous summer, creating 353 local jobs and $23 million in wages in the process. Many of the jobs and economic benefits were generated in the East Harlem and South Bronx communities, which surround Randall’s Island.

Ambassadeurs shares new track 'Kava'
Ambassadeurs
shares new track 'Kava'from new Halos EP out January 15 2016 via Lost Tribeshttps://soundcloud.com/lost-tribe-records/ambassadeurs-kava"Kava is a light, bouncy, and breezy trek through the autumn wilderness, replete with airy vocal chops, effervescent twinkles, and simple-yet-touching chimes" - LessThan3"A wonderful, glistening piece of electronic music." - Clash Magazine"'Halos' turns that notion on its head, instead putting him in a similar bucket to Bonobo and Emancipator. And by Jove, it sounds amazing!" - Indie Shuffle 2015 has kept Ambassadeurs extremely busy with a slew of EPs and his debut album – “Patterns”released on his own Lost Tribe Records imprint.Highlights of the year included repeated Radio 1 support and recognition for this fiercely independent artist.“Patterns” was featured on Huw Stephens “It’s Album Time” slot, Monki invited him to do a Lights On guest mix and Phil Taggart asked him to remix SOAK as a Radio 1 exclusive for their One Big Weekend coverage. On the press side Vice declared him to be the new Jamie XX which can only be taken as a compliment.Now back in the studio recording his second album, he is dropping Halos in the interim to keep fans of his sound happy.The EP was written during an escape in the autumn from the city to the countryside.The change of scenery from concrete to wilderness is reflected in the more organic sounds on the EP. It was written with the bare minimum of equipment so a simpler and more stripped back approach was adopted even sampling some old cassettes that were left behind in the cottage where he was staying.The EP explores a more 4/4 sound than his debut album while still retaining the signature aesthetic of Ambassadeurs productions. It’s a formula he’s been exploring with great success of late with his recent ephemerals remix hitting Number 1 on the Beatport electronica chart and a new remix for Ninja Tune signing Autograf about to drop.Ambassadeurs widescreen sound spans bass heavy, ethereal electronica, through to dark ambient moments, and shimmering, melodic techno. Taking cues from dub, hip-hop, bass and jazz, but sounding like none of these genres, his distinctive style can be attributed to a Tobin-like love for turning found sounds into samples and processing them beyond recognition – creating music as unique as his talent.In addition to his own releases Ambassadeurs’ stock has been consistently rising in the remix market with his production skills being noticed and used by record labels including Tru Thoughts, Ninja Tune, Moshi Moshi, Fat Cat, Wah Wah 45s, Universal and Rough Trade. Despite this packed schedule he has still continued his policy of shipping regular free releases of music for his fans via social media which has seen his fan base grow exponentially to over 35,000 followers and exceed 7 million plays on SoundCloud alone.This continued stream of high quality releases has won him strong DJ support in particular from BBC Radio 1. Coupled with online press support from The Fader, Mixmag, Vice, iD, Clash, XLR8R and Earmilk all championing his tracks there has been no shortage of talk about the London based producer and his work. In addition to his studio work Ambassadeurs has built up his live reputation winning high profile support slots across North America and Europe with the likes of ODESZA, Machinedrum, Gas Lamp Killer, Danny Brown, Gold Panda, Daedelus and Kelpe with a stunning show that marries his leftfield sound with surrealist videography. The success of these shows led to a 15 date co-headline tour of North America in 2015 with Daktyl (Mad Decent) and festival slots at Hard Day Of The Dead, Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival and The Sound You Need Festival.Ambassadeurs (aka Mark Dobson) started out learning his craft on an 8-bit Amiga computer, wrestling with the notoriously tricky Octamed while the rest of us were playing Lemmings. After the requisite teenage years in psychedelic rock bands, he upgraded to Logic and began working with electronic instruments, getting inside the machinery to make them sound the way he wanted. After signing 2 EPs with Pilot Records he now heads up his own label - Lost Tribe Records through which he releases his own work and champions other forward thinking electronic artists.Ambassadeurs will be releasing his second album in Summer 2016.
