(New York, NY) MUD, cosmetics has partnered up with NextAid one of our favorite non-profits to create a palette / benefit line. The money raised from the line goes to charity who's goal is to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS. Female electronic / dance artist, DJ Rap, along with Eve Falcon, Colette & Samantha James star in the campaigns.

From MUD
At MUD, we believe that everyone deserves a beautiful future. Whether we are collecting gifts for homeless women and children or adopting a family through the Salvation Army, MUD Cares about making a personal difference in the everyday lives of people in need. This is why we are proud to collaborate with organizations like NextAid to create our special, limited edition MUD Cares Palette of Eye Colors. These palettes make a great holiday gift – and are helping to benefit orphaned children in Africa who have lost their parents due to the AIDS epidemic.

This holiday season, you can help make a difference too – by purchasing a MUD Cares Palette of Eye Colors. These rich, earthy Eye Colors were hand-selected by members of NextAid to bring out the natural beauty of every skin tone. What’s beautiful about them? When you purchase one of these palettes, 100% of the proceeds go toward building a safe and sustainable home for a group of children. With only a few palettes left, we have almost met our goal. Please help us make a tangible difference in the lives of children in need. And remember – looking good never felt so great.

Global Underground presents
GU38 Carl Cox: ‘Black Rock Desert’
Released 25 Jan 2010
Carl Cox Brings Beats to Black Rock Desert for GU Debut
Techno King teams with Global Underground for this extraordinary release!


(New York, NY) December 9th, 2009 - Carl Cox releases his debut Global Underground mix album, ‘Black Rock Desert,’ on January 25th, 2010, taken from a storming 2 hour set at The Opulent Temple in the Black Rock Desert this summer.

Both CDs are bursting with exclusives. CD1 includes the whacked out groove of Tiefschwarz’s ‘Trust’ and Onionz’s ‘Spacebass’ (Original Mix), with its rocket jet booms and spiralling percussion. Guy J’s ‘Lamur’ (Henry Saiz remix) drops a tribal robot stomp, before the shuffling beats of Alan Fitzpatrick’s ‘Green Light’ take over. Fitzpatrick also supplies a panting re-rub of ‘Slice’ from New York techno legend Joey Beltram.

‘Main Room Part 1’ by Robbie Rivera opens CD2, with piercing strings launching into a harder, more madcap mix that is Carl’s favourite of the two. Joachim Gaurraud’s ‘No Techno In This Room Please’ is a highlight with clanging bin-lid percussion, echoing howls and submarine bass wallops. ‘Perfect Sunrise’ by Wilson Smallwood & Ingram drops in gloopy twists reminiscent of 808 State’s ‘Pacific State’ and Politeca’s ‘What Kind Of World’ closes with its pulsing, jazzy undertones.

No label encapsulates dance music's international explosion and restless creativity quite like Global Underground. Launched in 1996 with a Tony de Vit mix album based on a visit to Tel Aviv, it has expanded from a world-famous series of defining DJ mix CDs into all areas of cutting edge dance music. They have released artist albums for acts like James Lavelle's UNKLE, sound tracked some of the world’s most popular TV shows, including CSI, and some of PlayStation's biggest selling games, and staged fantastic parties in some of the world’s most exotic locations – not to mention selling over three million CDs. And now they’ve touched down in Nevada.

“When I finally decided to do a Global Underground mix it just had to be here,” says Carl. “Everything aside from the entrance fee is free. It’s all about sharing and contributing to the experience. People barter, offering everything from free artwork installations to free flirting lessons and drinks. And Nevada looks like a scene from mad Max.”

Jason Teplitsky and Syd Gris finally talked Carl into playing at the festival’s Opulent Temple in 2008. He was so moved by the event, he resolved to keep coming back every year. He continues, “It’s people who are there for their own reasons – whether it’s to laugh, to cry, to have sex, to listen to music, whether you want to run around naked, or fully clothed,” says Carl. “It doesn’t matter if you are a big DJ. It’s all about what you want to give. I’ve spent a lot of my own money to play here, but I don’t care. I give people my music and I get back a lot of love. That’s enough.”

Carl defines techno: his 1995 techno mix album ‘F.A.C.T’ sold 250,000 copies; he had three Top 30 UK hits – with ‘I Want You’ in 1991, The ‘Two Paintings And A Drum’ EP in 1996, and later ‘Sensual Sophist-i-cat’. From ‘96-‘03 his Ultimate Base night at London’s Velvet Rooms attracted the likes of Sven Vath and Laurent Garnier, who used to come just to dance. In ‘06, his night at Space won Best Ibiza Club Night at the Ibiza DJ Awards, in ‘08 he returned to the UK with the Carl Cox and Friends Night at Heaven and readers of Mixmag voted him the Best DJ of the last 25 years. Now 47, he lives half the year in Melbourne, Australia, and continues headlining the best clubs and parties all over the world. “After the Ibiza season, after the festivals I’ve done, after my own events,” he said, “the story still continues in a massive way – I’m working with new people, seeing different places and I’m overjoyed the Global Underground team got me on board for this mix.”

DJ Rap Gives a Taste of Synthesis on The Hills
Worlds #1 Female DJ/Producer to release follow up to the multi million selling Learning Curve on Ministry of Sound

New York, NY (November 3rd, 2009) - Deck star and exalted Queen of Drum & Bass, Charissa Saverio better known as DJ Rap, is giving fans a sneak peak of her new artist album Synthesis, out on Ministry of Sound February 2010. Though the first single "Give It All Away" is already receiving massive kudos from critics and DJs alike, it is actually the Rock-edged "I Just Wanna Feel Good" that will premiere on tonight's episode #516 of MTV's THE HILLS. The track will be available exclusively on Rhapsody ( thehills.mtv.com ) under Season Five.

Synthesis, a rock-tronic hybrid album is the follow up to the DJ Rap's globally successful Learning Curve. A darker edgier side of DJ Rap, she not only played guitar and piano on the majority of the album, but sung all the vocals as well. So if you are looking for pretty 4 on the floor Disco this is not the release. Take a bit of angst ridden Alanis Morrisette, the melodic dreaminess of Imogean Heap and a hint of BT and welcome to Synthesis. The albums first single "Give It All Away" will be released November 30th on Beatport exclusively with a remix package including Sultan & Ned Shepard, Starkillers, Thomas Sagstad and Metasyn.
