FATBOY SLIM RETURNS AS THE 'UNOFFICIAL AMBASSADOR' TO BRASIL, WITH THE SOUNDTRACK TO FOOTBALL'S BIGGEST EVENT OF THE YEAR

‘Fatboy Slim presents Bem Brasil’ – the only album based on authentic Brazilian music!

·        Album features brand new tracks and remixes by DJ Fresh, Gregor Salto, Psychemagik, Eats Everything, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Claude Von Stroke, Joey Negro

With football’s mega event all set to be held in Brasil-the land of joy, Famous DJ and rapper, Fatboy Slim comes out with an all exciting Brazilian compilation ‘BEM BRASIL’(roughly translated as ‘Very Brasil’), which is touted to become  the hottest music adding to the football fever!

The fantastic album will bring in the Brasilian vibe, celebrating the spirit and culture of the wonderful destination. Fatboy Slim has delivered a curated collection of music encapsulating the soundtrack to this year's biggest football event which will be held country .  Some of the tracks are set around samples of classic Brasilian tracks, notably Felguk's inspired re work of Jorge Ben Jor's "Taj Mahal" and DJ Fresh's take on the Sergio Mendes anthem "Magdalena" . Others take inspiration from Brasilian music with brand new tracks from Carl Cox, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Gregor Salto and Joey Negro's re-imagining of Airto Moreira classic "Celebration Suite"
In parallel to the tournament, world renowned players from across the globe, congregate to express their skill, inspired by the magnificent back drop of Brasil, its people and its celebrated culture. The players in this case are a host of Fatboy's producer friends from the world of electronic music paying tribute to the incredible flair for music and dancing Brasil has gifted the world. 

Speaking on his compilation, Fatboy Slim said “Given my love of Brasilian music, parties and football it is no surprise that with World Cup happening this year I want to share that love by providing a soundtrack for the summer, based on Brasilian music”  

Commenting on the release, Sunil D'Sa. Vice President - Marketing. Universal Music India said “Standing out from the clutter, this is an album that’s curated by world renowned DJ / Producer Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim that’s inspired by pure Brazilian sounds! Unlike most `football’ albums, this one’s a brilliant collection that exemplifies the vibrant culture of Brazil and is a must for every music fan. The ideal album this football season to keep the parties going well after the final whistle has been blown. Over 2 hours of dance music on a 2 CD set, at an attractive price point of a single CD, this is one album that brings home the carnival as you enjoy the games with friends and family!”.
Fatboy Slim is known the world over for his unique brand of 'Party Acid House', something he advocates through the medium of DJing and of course the music he makes. His track "Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat" was not only a worldwide hit last year but also became a lifestyle mantra for the hugely abundant new generation of 'Ravers' who can be seen hash-tagging and shuffling their way across dance floors and festival fields everywhere.Recording under the alias Fatboy Slim, British DJ/producer Norman Cook was one of the major pioneers of big beat; he ranking second to the Chemical Brothers in terms of breaking the genre in the States. Cook samples from a wide range of music—house, funk, even rock—to create electronic music specifically designed for dancing
Sub-plotting Fatboy's relentless party mission are two very clear passions… Football and Brasil! Historically Music and Football don't mix too well but Fatboy has repeatedly denied such logic.His special relationship with the tournament started when he had the bright idea to play gigs in Japan and South Korea in the same cities as the England games, giving the England fans and locals something to do and allowing himself and his crew to go to the matches. Based on the success of this formula he repeated it at Euro 2004 in Portugal and again with great success in South Africa, 2010.
Four years on and he finds Football converging with his biggest love affair… Brasil!
With only just a few days before the first ball meets boot in Brasil, Fatboy and his compatriots are here to get the carnival started early.

Sony PIX - No.1 in prime time and loving it…

THE SPIRITUAL SUPERGROUP `BEYOND’ ALSO FEATURES THE LEGENDARY TINA TURNERWHO SINGS ON A COUPLE OF SONGS

World’s first all-female spiritual super-group Beyond, featuring a global mix of talent from different countries, religion and cultures includes Tina Turner, the legendary and iconic singer and a self-styled “Buddhist-Baptist” along with RegulaCurti, a Christian from Switzerland and DechenShak-Dagsay, a Buddhist from Tibet, living in Switzerland as its members. This international music group, having had two prior hit album releases before, have signed on classical singer Sawani Shende-Sathaye, the only Indian member on this global group with a view to showcase India’s rich spiritual heritage and culture for their latest album “Love Within”. The album will be releasing in India under the Universal Music’s Panorama label

Hailing from a family of renowned classical musicians Sawani Shende-Sathaye, a trained classical singer based in Pune, has been honoured with the distinction of being a part of and be a part of a prestigious global project. Having won several accolades for classical singing, this is the first time Sawani will internationally collaborate for music. Enriching BEYOND´s already amazing musical range with Vedic mantras and classical Indian music, Sawani has lend an heart- rendering Indian touch to the project.

Speaking on the association,Sawani Shende says “It is a great honor for me to be a part of this beautiful and esteemed international project- Beyond - Love Within. I am proud to represent India and its culture on a global platform through this album. I am sure the message of love, peace and faith that we want to pass on through this album will reach up to every corner of the world. This album will definitely encourage people to think beyond religion even after keeping their own set of religious faith intact".

The album, which is their most ambitious project up to now, is dedicated to the Divine Mother (be it Mary, Tara or Parvati). "Love Within" combines songs, gospels and chants from three world religions in a mesmerizing soundtrack. The world-encompassing praises of love are sung in ancient languages such as Latin, Aramaic, Sanskrit and Tibetan, accompanied by Tibetan gongs, Indian tablas and sitars, an Armenian duduk and a Swiss alphorn.

BEYOND´s enchanting cross-cultural combination of hymns, prayers and mantras has brought about music of intense, spiritual beauty that appeals to a wide and diverse audience across the world. Five years ago BEYOND´s self-titled debut album struck a chord in the New Age, yoga and Spiritual community worldwide and sold over 200'000 copies. "We were overwhelmed by the reaction", comments RegulaCurti. The follow-up "Children Beyond", released 2011, is a music project for building peace and tolerance. Over 1,5 million have watched the Youtube-clip "SarveshamSvastirBhavatu" from this album. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XP-f7wPM0A)

“Personally, it’s something I’m very proud to be part of,” says Tina Turner. On "Love Within" she sings the Christian hymn Amazing Grace, the Lord’s Prayer, and the spiritual Motherless Child – which is the first single to be released, and the first single featuring Tina Turner to be released in over eight years.  “Hopefully this project will teach people how to use what they’re born with, to help themselves and help the world.”

For RegulaCurti, whose Zurich-based BEYOND FOUNDATION provided the inspiration for the group seven years ago, "Love Within" is the next step in a mission in which she strides to overcome the differences between people and to open the path to inner peace. "It´s not enough to listen to the music and be touched by it", she says, "one has to bring this love into everyday life." Regula is already planning new projects with singers from other world religions: Jews, Muslims and Sikhs.

Speaking on this, Sunil D’sa – V.P. Marketing, Universal Music India says,”It’s a matter of great pride for us that Sawani Shende has made it to a Global and prestigious project as this. Sharing a line-up that includes the legendary Tina Turner is no mean feat. And thru her music on this album, Sawani beautifully represents the rich spiritual heritage and culture of our country India. `Beyond: Love Within’ includes prayers of Buddhist, Christian and Hindu traditions and is indeed a collector’s album that every music lover must own irrespective of one’s religion. The album spreads the common message – that of unconditional love and peace. We at UMG India will do whatever it takes to get this album heard far and wide across our great big nation!”

Whatever one's (religious) beliefs or even musical tastes, BEYOND takes you beyond!
