Shelli Andranigian ~ Southern California-based Velocity Code have signed a digital distribution agreement with Proper Talent Records and System Recordings through The Greenwich Music Group, Inc. for their self-titled debut album. All of the songs from the record (including their next singles "Reality" and "Bydz") are currently available at iTunes among other Internet retail outlets. Proper Talent is the company founded by the legendary DJ Rap. A vinyl distribution deal was also signed with New York-based Topline for "Reality"/"Bydz."

Velocity Code's newest singles were featured on the soundtrack of the September Films documentary "Single In South Beach," which aired on Showtime the entire month of August 2004. "Bydz" is an upbeat trance anthem (131 bpm) that features the vocals of Shaheen Sheik, while "Reality" (130 bpm) has evoked a magical feel for some listeners, sending them into another dance realm.

Comprised of talented producer/musicians Chad Gendason and Zach Grace and accompanied by an international array of vocalists, Velocity Code made an impact in the dance music world when their first single "Beautiful Outside" went to #32 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music Club Play chart. The song also received airplay on 75 local, nationally-syndicated and satellite radio mixshows including DMX, Sirius Satellite Radio, XM and others. The song was also the "second most-added track to nightclubs in the United States" according to DJ Times (12/15/03).

The founding members of Velocity Code embrace both the dance and rock music worlds. Their self-titled CD also has a companion edition specially mixed by Leggo (aka Broken Signal). As the producer behind Broken Signal, Leggo has done production, writing and remixing for numerous artists, companies, TV shows, films and websites some of which include George Clinton, the Pharcyde, Bobo & Sen Dog (Cypress Hill), P-Nut (311), Dakah Orchestra, DJ Lethal (Limp Bizkit), Showtime Networks, MTV, ABC, NBC, The Shield, Bones (Fox), Aftermath, Mad Media Films, Big Momma's House 2 (Twentieth Century Fox), Urb Magazine, Machine Head Studios, Fox Sports Net, Rock The Vote, Comcast, Reebok and others.

System Recordings was co-founded by Eric Silver and Louis Montorio in 2001. Along with DJ Rap, they also work with Dieselboy, DJ Icey, Christopher Lawrence and Bad Boy Bill among others. According to Silver, The Greenwich Music Group, Inc. (GMG) is one of America’s fastest rising entertainment companies. "Our business consists of acquiring and releasing audio/visual intellectual property via our System Recordings and Double Blind Music labels and our Orange Sofa LTD (ASCAP) and Alpha Numeric Music (BMI) publishing companies, " he said. "(And) providing management and career direction for artists such as Dieselboy and 32 Leaves via GMG Management; and offering marketing/lifestyle consultancy services to companies seeking to reach the youth market in area of recorded music and live performance via GMG."
GMG is also signed to Bug Music, which administers the copyrights for GMG's two publishing companies; Orange Sofa LTD (ASCAP) and Alpha Numeric Music (BMI).

A couple of folks from our crew participated in a run out at a local elementary school.  The entire schools showed for this one, lined up and ready to be splashed with some colored powder or another. The more they ran the more colorful they became.  Beats all around set a festive tone for everyone. Those of us participating chilled on the playground after a few laps, then joined back in for another lap or two to close out the day.    Free drinks and snacks refreshed those otherwise banned from enjoying the ice cream truck.

A random encounter found us in downtown Little Rock, anticipating a performance of Holst's "The Planets" by the  Arkansas Symphony Orchestra .  The much-anticipated event included a vocal cameo from the University of Arkansas - Little Rock Women's Choir.  An evening of colorful sound began with "Night Ferry" by Anna Clyne , exploring the extremes of manic depression.   The chaotic range of emotional intensities seemed to leave the audience in a state of bewildered fascination. After an intermission wide enough to refresh mind and body, "The Planets" by Gustav Holst exploded in the mind's eye next.  This particular space heptalogy is likely one of the most recognizable symphonies, enjoyed through a variety of inspirations like the score from Star Wars.  The choir entered near the end, perhaps at Neptune, blending in imperceptibly with the violins and their accompaniment.   Their voices appeared as if by magic from behind the sc

  An afternoon focused on technology down at J. Rieger & Co. broke up the week nicely, offering a unique learning experience from Pomerol Partners.  Lunch and presentations associated with machine learning and data stack modernization were followed by a discussion around large language models with a few Kansas City IT leaders.   Immediately following that, Abstract Technologies talked about LATAM opportunities through nearshoring staffing services, followed by Black Khaki Brand Communicators discussing maintenance of organization cultural wellness.  Topping things off like a cherry on top, we learned of a new podcast worth listening in on, entitled " Drinks and Data ," hosted by KC technology leaders Kanon Cozad and Shawn Helwig.
