TIMBALAND & BRUNO MARTINI’S ‘YOUNGR’ feat. SHAUN JACOBS, PRODUCED BY MARTINI & TIMBALAND, OUT TODAY

 
FRESH FROM TOMORROWLAND & CREAMFIELDS UK AND ON HIS WAY TO CREAMFIELDS CHILE, THE DJ/PRODUCER/SONGWRITER MARTINI
 
FILMED THE VIDEO ON A DRIFT CAR TRACK IN SÃO PAULO 
WITH 700 MILLION STREAMS, MARTINI IS CONNECTING WITH FANS WORLDWIDE
 
DJ / Producer Bruno Martini will release “YOUNGR feat. Shaun Jacobs” on October 19 on Aftercluv. Martini co-produced the fresh upbeat house joint with Timbaland (their second collaboration) and is featured in the video along with Brazilian actor and Drift car racer Fiuk, which world premiered on Billboard.com.  Watch it: Here
 
Martini’s “YOUNGR” is a truly a cross culture creation.  The Brazilian DJ/producer/songwriter co-wrote the track with Jacobs who is from South Africa and recorded it in L.A. at West Lake Studios with American-born Timbaland. “ I can’t describe the excitement and creative explosion that happens when I’m in the studio with Timbaland, Angelo Lopez and the team.”   It all fits in with the international profile of Aftercluv, the Universal label which released Martini’s “Hear Me Now” (Alok, Bruno Martini feat Zeeba), Dancehall tracks like Charly Black’s Party Animal and worldwide Brazilian funk hits like  Bum Bum, Tam Tam (Kondzilla).
The video for “YOUNGR” was filmed in São Paulo, the 26 -year old Martini’s home town, and tells the story of a young woman caught between a current (Fiuk) and ex-boyfriend (Martini), all filmed against the backdrop of Drift car stunt performances. (Info on the motorsport of Drifting:   HERE)
 
“I’ve always been into fast cars and race cars,” says Martini. “ Fiuk introduced me to the Drift car community in   Sao Paulo and I was blown away . I thought the whole vibe and setting and edge of drifting fitted with the atmosphere I wanted to lay down on the Youngr video, so we actually filmed it at the Drift track where Fiuk and his crew do regular Drift racing competitions…. I still need to learn alot about racing cars in this way, but I’m hooked ! “ 
 
In just a few years, the 26-year-old Martini has built a following at some of the world’s biggest festivals including Creamfields UK, Tomorrowland, Parookaville in Germany and Hi Ibiza in Spain.  His “Hear Me Now” track was an international smash and he has gone on to release “Sun Goes Down,” “Never Let Me Go,” “Road,” “Living on the Outside”, “Savages” and other tracks,  generating over 700 Million streams along the way. This year he created official remixes of “The Middle” for DJ and producer Zedd, and “Velha Infância” for Tribalista.  He has also worked with Dutch duo Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano,”Sou seu fã” with Dennis DJ and ” Morena ” for Vitor Kley. In between festivals, Martini is working on his first album project, due out next year.
 
Look for Bruno Martini on tour in South America, including Creamfields Chile, in 2018, in the US and Mexico in February and March 2019 and in Europe next summer.

MICHAEL JACKSON FANS & CELEBS CELEBRATED HIS BIRTHDAY LAST NIGHT IN LAS VEGAS

MICHAEL JACKSON FANS & CELEBS CELEBRATED HIS BIRTHDAY LAST NIGHT IN LAS VEGAS
 
 A DJ SET FROM MARK RONSON AND SURPRISE PERFORMANCE FROM USHER ENTERTAINED THE 1500+ GUESTS
 
PARIS & PRINCE JACKSON ACCEPTED THE ELIZABETH TAYLOR AIDS FOUNDATION LEGACY AWARD FOR THEIR FATHER & LAUNCH AN AUCTION FOR THE CHARITY
 
Michael Jackson was honored last night in a grand celebration that included a performance of the acclaimed Michael Jackson ONE show by Cirque du Soleil (Broll HERE), and a huge party with fans, celebrities and guests hosted by the Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Music.
 
A guest DJ set from Grammy-winning producer/artist/DJ Mark Ronson and surprise performance from Grammy winning superstar Usher who included a Michael Jackson tribute medley in his set entertained celebrities such as Blake Griffin, Gabriel Union, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashlee Simpson Ross and Evan Ross and Michael’s brothers Tito and Jackie Jackson.
 
One of the most moving moments of the evening was when Paris Jackson and Prince Jackson accepted an award for their father from Evan Ross after the crowd heard from  Quinn Tivey of The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (he’s Elizabeth Taylor’s grandson).   
 
Prince said, “On behalf of my sister and myself, it is a privilege and honor to be here about something that my dad was so passion about and who he held so near and dear to his heart. The way my father led his life, he led by example. Even though he was the King of Pop, he never thought he was too big for any person, no matter what you did no matter where you came from.” 
 
Then Paris and Prince kicked-off the auction for “Number One,” a-one-of-a-kind, ruby and diamond studded pair of shoes created by Giuseppe Zanotti to benefit the charity. The final bidding for “Number One” will take place as part of Julien’s Auctions Icons & Idols Auction, live at the Hard Rock Café in New York on November 9/10, 2018.   Until then, fans can go HERE to place their bid. (More about “Number One” below).
 
 
Earlier in the day, Sony Music and the Estate of Michael Jackson released  Michael Jackson x Mark Ronson: Diamonds are Invincible,  Ronson’s take on some of Michael Jackson’s biggest hits . In creating the track, Ronson said, “It was such an amazing, awe-inspiring and insanely intimidating task to put this together, although you’d need hours and hours to fit all of Michael’s classic tunes into one track. I wanted this to feel like being on the dancefloor at a sweaty, wild NYC club getting down to as much MJ as possible in five minutes. And I can’t wait for you to all hear the extended version coming soon.” Listen Here (Spotify or iTunes)
 
The cultural relevancy of Michael Jackson’s music and legacy has never been more evident:
A hit Vegas show, a Broadway play in the works, a huge Drake track on which Michael is the featured vocalist, a limited-edition sneaker from one of the world’s top luxury designer and a critically acclaimed Michael Jackson-inspired exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery in London. The popularity of the iconic artist and his music show no signs of slowing down.   The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced last week that 21 different songs and three albums, spanning Jackson’s career, have garnered major new Gold and Platinum certifications.   With 67M Facebook followers & 8.5M YouTube subscribers & 5.3B video views, Michael Jackson is as hot as ever.  
 
ABOUT NUMBER ONE
“Number One” will be the only pair of 2,000 limited-edition, numbered sneakers to shine with approximately 120 genuine black diamonds (108 karats) and approximately 55 rubies (18 karats). Expected to bring a minimum of $30,000-$50,000 at auction, the mid top sneaker is an exceptional piece that testifies to Giuseppe Zanotti’s longstanding admiration for the singer for whom he created several custom-made pieces.
 
The other 1,999 “Giuseppe Tribute to Michael Jackson” pairs will be available in select Giuseppe Zanotti stores worldwide and on giuseppezanotti.com, the limited edition collection will also be available exclusively at Neiman Marcus and Neimanmarcus.com in the US.

PEPE AGUILAR JOINS WITH VOTO LATINO TO REGISTER FANS AT HIS CONCERTS

*Spanish Version Below*

PEPE AGUILAR, CA SECRETARY OF STATE ALEX PADILLA, VOTO LATINO, ANGELA AGUILAR ANNOUNCE LATINO VOTER REGISTRATION INITIATIVE
 
JARIPEO SIN FRONTERAS TOUR TO HOST VOTO LATINO’S VOTER REGISTRATION TABLES AT SELECTED ARENAS
 
(Alex Padilla, Jessica Reeves, Angela Aguilar, Pepe Aguilar, Edgar Sotelo)
 
Pepe Aguilar, Angela Aguilar, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, and Voto Latino’s COO Jessica Reeves announced today that Aguilar will be launching a voter registration drive on his 2018 Jaripeo sin Fronteras Tour in conjunction with Voto Latino’s SOMOS MAS initiative which aims to register 1 million new voters by 2020.  The Aguilar’s, Padilla,  and Reeves held a press conference this a.m. in Los Angeles to make the announcement and to discuss how vital it is for Latinos to participate in the election process.  
 
Aguilar will record promotional videos and messages for Voto Latino which will play during his concerts and be serviced to national and local media. He has invited Voto Latino and its teams of local volunteers to set up registration tables in the lobbies of selected arenas on his tour, engage with fans, register them to vote and generally educate them on the voter registration process in their state.
 
Voto Latino:
 
During a discussion at the press conference, Aguilar said, “Latinos are in the crosshairs of the current administration as hard-working families are separated and children are traumatized and our culture is attacked.  It is imperative that we join the political process and it is important to me to help,” said Aguilar.  
 
Padilla, who recently launched http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/high-school-programs/ which encourages teens to vote said, “By exposing youth to civic engagement at a young age we are creating lifelong engaged citizens. To be effective, we need programs like the partnership between Voto Latino and Pepe Aguilar that are innovating when, where and how we register Californians to vote. Having voter registration at concerts is an easy way to reach tens of thousands of voters and supplements the work my office does statewide to increase voter registration and particpation.”
And Reeves pointed out “We know that young Latinos are the gatekeepers of their community and the future of this country. They do and will continue to shape our national politics, but to do that most effectively they must be actively involved to change policy.  This is why Pepe Aguilar’s help in bringing our message directly to his fans is so significant.”
 
Angela Aguilar, “I am glad I live in California where there is an opportunity for young people to pre-register to vote when they turn 16 so I can be ready to rock the vote when I’m 18.  I really appreciate the Secretary of State making it easier rather than harder to be a part of the voting process.”
 
ABOUT JARIPEO SIN FRONTERAS 
Produced by CMN Events (Cardenas Marketing Network) Jaripeo Sin Fronteras, with Pepe Aguilar & Family and featuring Christian Nodal,  is a celebration of   Mexican culture and a revival of the legendary Aguilar family’s touring tradition that combines music with an equestrian extravaganza and rodeo.  
 
Hoy raved, “With the tradition of the Aguilar Dynasty to live up to, Pepe offered a spectacular show on Saturday night, full of charreadas, songs, forcados and, above all, a great atmosphere that everyone enjoyed at Staples Center arena in Los Angeles. The Mexican tradition is strengthened with ‘Jaripeo Sin Fronteras’.”

D.B.L. is a solo artist that creates a unique sound infused with earthy island reggae, hip-hop and R&B. D.B.L. was born in St. Lucia where he had always dreamed of becoming a star. With a strong passion for music and a determination to share his music, D.B.L. moved to the United States and then the U.K. to pursue every opportunity he could get. Starting as early as a child, D.B.L. landed roles in commercials and television shows when he caught the attention of Jackie Jackson, the eldest member of The Jacksons, who is one of D.B.L. ’s largest musical influences. Under Jackson’s mentorship, D.B.L. was encouraged to hone his arts as an artist in singing, songwriting and producing, as well as understanding the music business. As a testimony to his dedication to both, D.B.L., also an avid scholar, graduated from the University of Southern California (USC) with honors. As Jackson’s protégé, D.B.L. began to develop as an artist, learning how to play the keyboard and percussion, and as a performer booking shows in the Caribbean, U.S. and Europe. D.B.L. ’s newfound sense of rhythm fuses that of Bob Marley and The Jacksons.
