So I think I should make this post before qR dies again…

I’m looking for volunteers to post entertainment related news articles, cd reviews and possibly a podcast of weekly/monthly entertainment events.

You don’t have to post specifically about dance music, it can be any genre, except country.

You can even post about TV, Movies and hell even games

So if your interested you can contact me, DJ Dark at djdark@quantumradio.net, please include the following details: (continue reading…)

Even before "queen of all media" Perez Hilton took the stage and proclaimed her "the new princess of pop," Lady GaGa showed she’s a serious contender to Madonna’s crown Friday at the Wiltern.

She might be a relative newcomer, but the artist born Stefani Joanne Germanotta commanded the stage with a royal air during her hour-long set, at times even sporting a glowing scepter.

Pop star Nelly Furtado is not the first major-label musician to start her own label, but she is one of the few to do it with an indie. Furtado is launching Nelstar in cooperation with the Canadian independent label group Last Gang Labels.

The Toronto-based electro-dance band Fritz Helder & the Phantoms is the first act signed to Nelstar and will release its debut album July 7.

"Nelly just wasn’t that interested in doing a OneRepublic/Timbaland type of thing," says Chris Taylor, president of Last Gang and Furtado’s longtime attorney. "She’s an independent spirit, and she wants to make sure we build the band at the right pace. It’s also very important to launch a band with indie branding behind them and be able to build them brick by brick."

Taylor points out that Furtado has close ties to the band, noting that two members are her backup dancers.

Furtado says she never considered introducing the Nelstar imprint via her label, Interscope.

Sorry about there being no news posts or even posts relating to qR the past few weeks, been busy.

I should have the new session ready for this summer, if not, well like I said, no regular release schedule anymore (though we never had one before.).
