New York, NY (September 9, 2006) – A group of unique music producers from all over the globe have signed up with the Moontripper Records netlabel started by Vlad Rebek, a sonic experimentalist himself composing for years under the "moontripper" moniker. Moontripper Records (all things groovy and beyond) is a progressive netlabel that will promote deserving music for free and also actively seek out alternative ways to earn income for its artists.

The world of music distribution and online entertainment has dramatically changed since the Internet''s conception. We are daily witnessing a massive evolution of the progressive online music industry into a primary choice of people who search for their new music. There is no magic solution to today''s major music business chaos. "Many different models are being implemented at the present time that will chip away from the traditional methods music used to be discovered and distributed", says Rebek.

Moontripper Records netlabel is such new "hybrid" business model that is going beyond just offering free music online (yes, many songs from the site are legally available to download free, for your personal use). Music listeners, besides obvious free downloads, may download the entire album at higher quality for a fraction of the usual price (starting at few cents per individual track). Netlabel reports all of its online sales to Billboard magazine''s "Internet Charts".

The netlabel offers an easy access to electronic and progressive music, various dance sub-genres and experimental tracks, mostly under creative commons license, and it explores other innovative ways on rewarding the Artists/Music Producers for their efforts, like minimally charged higher quality audio downloads, CDs and limited vinyl releases. Among the others, Moontripper (the artist) is featuring return of Spacegypsy, the 80s English punk pop princess, in their new “dance/trance” oriented album called "Singular Realm of Bliss". A shorter EP version of this luscious audio fruitbasket is available as well.

What is more intriguing on the creative production side; the netlabel combines a pro-active marketing element with resources to Film Music Licensing, TV and Ad Agencies. A sort of netlabel that is not only searching for people in the industry but combines the best aspects of what already is available on demand. Moontripper is starting competitive "active production alerts" where a requirement is given and music producers can pitch their existing tracks or feel inspired to produce or remix music.

To keep in touch with the current, constantly fusing sonic culture, the netlabel actively attends the creative industries meetings and listens. And absorbs. There is no membership fee to become a contributing creative member, but at the present time, the netlabel is limited to a smaller group of talented producers. There are a few sites out there; but not many of them also act as a personalized agent to their contributing artists. We believe this will improve.

The new netlabel will be a constantly evolving project, but the goal of constant stream of interesting, intelligent music and the focus on the independent producer will remain its first priority. For more information please visit and enjoy the aural view.

Author and Host of the literary and entertainment talk show Wordz in Motion wins award and is dubbed ‘Detroit’s Queen Literary Advocate’ for self publishers.

Detroit, MI. August 28, 2006 - Sheri Clark Brooks always knew she would write books and be on television, but she never thought she would win an award or be promoting others’ endeavors. That changed last month at the Community Broadcast Awards, when Ms. Brooks, the author of Her Alabaster Box, received an award for her TV show Wordz in Motion, a literary and entertainment talk show that focuses mainly on self published authors and the independent music artist.

Ms. Brooks’ show, which is original and refreshing, offers an opportunity for authors, aspiring writers, independent music artist and literacy advocates to come on and showcase or discuss their book, cd or service. Wordz in Motion, which started a year ago, also hosts other guests that are of interest to the viewing audience, such as national recording artists, book clubs, bestselling authors and poets.

As an avid reader, vice president of a book club and advocate for literacy, Ms. Brooks and her writing group- Metro Detroit Literary Collective along with Corporation for Artistic Development also host Detroit’s Annual Writer’s Conference and Awards Gala. The event is a weekend of networking, education and celebration. Because of her diligence in the industry, dedication to uplifting other authors and artists and her work in the fight against illiteracy, she has now been dubbed Detroit’s Queen Literary Advocate.

The Community Broadcast Awards Banquet, held in Detroit’s New Center Area at the St. Regis Hotel this past month, is an annual event hosted by WHPR -TV 33. The event highlights the efforts of television programs that showcase a variety of topics including economical, social, political and educational themes.
