Larry Tee

Larry Tee hails from Atlanta, Georgia where he was friends with REM and his first group, the Fans, produced the B-52s' first independent single “Rock Lobster/52 Girls.” He moved to NYC with fellow Atlantans RuPaul and Lady Bunny and quickly took over the NYC club scene with his epic party Love Machine. He started and named the infamous DISCO 2000 of Party Monster movie fame, DJ'ed the ROXY weekly, and co-wrote the Billboard Top 40 song Rupaul's “Supermodel (You Better Work).” In 1997 Larry Tee decided to get clean from drugs and alcohol and decided to re-examine his life and career. He turned to music for inspiration and championed a new sound and movement which became the Electroclash phenomena. He created the term “Electroclash” for his festivals in 2001/2002 (it's in the Oxford English Dictionary) which helped launch the careers of Scissor Sisters, Felix Da Housecat, 2 Many DJs/Soulwax, Peaches and many more. In 2007, Larry launched an international music festival in NYC called the Dance Music Invasion 2007. This festival brought together everyone from Loco Dice to Lil' Louie Vega to Kele from the Bloc Party to Princess Superstar. This was the beginning of a yearly event devoted to bringing more awareness to electronic music in the US and continued Tee's tradition of supporting up-and-coming artists.

Fast forward to 2008 and we see Larry Tee traveling all over the world bringing his unique sound and exclusive tracks to festivals and cool nightclubs worldwide.

Larry Tee and friends will be released on larrytee.com and youtube.com each week starting in April leading up to the release of the “Licky” smash! The next single, "I Love U" featuring 7-year-old Amanita has already been remixed by Bart B More, Christopher Just, The Bulgarian, and Funky Junction and is already scheduled for release worldwide. Join Club Badd and make 2008 the international Year of the Party People!

Shwayze

Shwayze (born Aaron Smith in 1986) is an alternative hip hop artist from Malibu, California. The rapper's stage name is a variation of the name of actor Patrick Swayze. Shwayze is one rapper, one producer, a couple of their friends crashing on their couches, a few chicks in bikinis, and as much of a good time as you can fit in one of those massive Igloo coolers. And no, this isn’t one of those “a rabbi, a priest, and a monk walk into a bar jokes.” Just stay with us…
His single "Buzzin'", featuring Cisco Adler, reached the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. His first album is expected for release on August 19, 2008. That song that details the backyard party that evolves into the type of backyard party that seems like the kind of backyard party that only actually happens in other people’s backyards: paper lanterns that just happen to match the fluorescent-colored Solo cups attached to the hands of willing women who look like they stepped out of Urban Outfitters’ summer catalog and/or a beer ad, a conspicuous absence of food, the ocean languishing in the background, the whole thing culminating in a bonfire set to the sound of an acoustic guitar, a lazy boom-bap beat, and a refrain so chill it’d make Jack Johnson jealous.

Shwayze and Adler are scheduled to be the focus of a reality television series on MTV also titled Buzzin’, which will debut on July 23, 2008.

Duffy

Aimee Anne Duffy (born 23 June 1984 in Gwynedd, Wales), known professionally as Duffy, is a Welsh singer-songwriter.
Contracted to A&M Records during 2007, on 23 November 2007, together with another rising star, Adele, Duffy was the most prominent of the so-called "new Amys" (a reference to singer Amy Winehouse). Under the sub-title, "The New Amys", Adam Thompson wrote in The Times on 30 December 2007 that "Duffy, Gabriella Cilmi and Adele lead the charge to be the next Winehouse. First sightings seem to indicate that they are all bright-eyed innocents with bags of talent—a familiar starting point, no?" Duffy herself disliked being referred to as "the new Dusty Springfield."
As of July 2008 Duffy was constantly writing material for a second album while getting ideas from "loads of books". Duffy said that she will not reinvent constantly herself for each album.



Rockferry is the debut studio album by Welsh singer Duffy, first released on March 3, 2008 by A&M Records. Prior to releasing the album, Duffy appeared twice on Jools Holland's music show, performing the tracks "Mercy", "Warwick Avenue" and her version of "The First Cut Is the Deepest".

The album title Rockferry, according to Duffy, is loosely based on Rock Ferry, a suburb of Birkenhead, on the Wirral Peninsula and approximately 10 miles from the Welsh border and 3 miles from Liverpool.
