Now hear this.

 No revolution

Played out

 With guns and money.

No Borders

No Boundaries

The tribes will tangle and dance

The flames will fumble then flicker then go

Mad happy moody and

hotInsane.

The truth is in the songs the tunes the words

The freedom of the independent

Here.

This is the world

 Where the winter Internal sleeps

With the summer Playful.

These are songs of Anger and Hope

Not afraid to show Desire

They welcome the darkness and forever flirt

with the light

Haunting the world. Taking control of the dangerous

Small hours when most of the world dreams.

The soundtrack to the candlelight ballet

The rhythm of the skin and the sigh

The shouts and the swirl and the crazy grin

Jumping under moonlight, the culture of rooftops

And winter.

These tunes

Haunt and prowl and

Free us

All.

The wonderfully eclectic NBT where the quiet confessions mix

 With the brash roar of the onstage monitor.

The deeply personal dances with exuberant showmen

 And we all have a great night out

Electronic..folk..rock n roll. Its all here.

 The BEAT360 Podcast

A very special episode of NBT this week,

 Compiled by Oliver Hammett

Creative Director of Beat 360 Studios.

Mark Saunders (A multi-platinum, English record producer who has worked with some of the most influential artists and writers of the 21st century.) chats to Martin Heath head of Lizard King Records and co founder of Rhythm King a label that achieved more than 40 top ten singles in the UK.

We catch the So So Glos on the road during their first DIY North American tour. As they talk us through a bunch of their raw n, rough perfect pop tracks.

Santogold does her haunting, humorous Bananarama-soundclash thing on her track

ââCreator/LES Artistesââ

 To the sound of Simple yet intense Electronica, we dive into Isolation by Discordinated.

Ollie tells us about REEQ a unique, mixing & mastering company aimed at providing first class solutions to independent artists/producers & labels at cost effective rates.

(Check out

 www.reeq.mu

for more information & to listen to example work.

With The Bidding war we glide along dreamy electric airwaves taking the soul of the past into the edge of the future.

Musical alchemists Dan Gerber & Saul Good aka Kerowack play us ââHarpoonerââ

We discover the ââ N Wordââ from Bronx artist Donnan Linkz who as a fan on myspace describes: pours his soul out through his verses and tracks.

And what better place for NBt and Beat360 to dance, giggle and howl than

 ââLe Diskoââ by Grammy nominated band Shiny Toy Guns

Finally try to ignore that she is one of the worldâs most beautiful Supermodels and instead thrill to the vibrant music of Tasha Tilberg.

Once again, for more details/links to all the brilliant Artists and Guests featured on this podcast go to

NBT

The only show that loves Electronica as much as Americana

 That allows itself to be seduced by dirty Bar Band Boogie

And doesnât think POP is a dirty word.

That dreams of a world where Difficult Music is in the hearts of all

And there are no boundaries, snobs or fakes.

An aggressive cheerleader for independent musicians,

 Ariel Publicity  built its reputation by working primarily with indie artists.

They give back to the independent music community

 by educating artists through their website,

 and Ariel has been honoured to speak at music conferences

 such as SXSW, NEMO, and The PMC.

Trevor Dye of Ariel Publicity writes a weekly column,

which is hosted, on the NBT blog

 in which he talks to all sorts of movers and shakers

 in the digital and independent music world.

(look for the CyberPR blog)

On this show he gives NBT

  A selection of songs

 and artists that range from alternative new age

 to alt country,

 from new folk to power RockPop.

In this the second AP/NBT collaboration

we find beauty and intelligence

Music to dance to, to sway to, to paint to, to work to

All these bands and performers are just a glance

 and a whisper away from being constantly

 in our hearts and in our charts

It isnât far to jump from Country to Classical

The gap between Electronica and Soul is tiny

The world of Pop adores the world of Rock

Traditional Blues flirt with Folk

The Piano, the Guitar, The Violin

The voice

The heart

The NBT show.

Wake up.winter here. Summer there.fresh

Dreams will follow you and the dancing will get hectic

Turn your radio up loud play the songs here again

And again

You know its right

You know its meant to be.

The sound of bonfires, the feel of rain

The hum of the computer

The road less travelled

The car soundsystem early morning traffic

The way out

Far out

From the normal

Yes.

This is the soundtrack of the independent world. This pop that is pure

And rock that is real. It is dance that is sensual and country that is cool.

It is a good world to be in.

 the storms are intense and the summer loves the winter

Itâs the stuff of dreams

 and weirdly it is the stuff of waking up at dawn and hearing wonderful music

mmm maybe not so weird

maybe that is the way it always is.

One day the world u hear on NBT and the world that exists on mtv and radio

Will merge

Lucky them

Those that donât live there now, what delightful lessons they will learn.

This show is for those that live there now

Thank you.

The ghosts of Americana,

 the magic of the heartbreak

Strange harmonies

 sad mandolin

 pop that travels continents

NBT

The nextbig

The biggest songs

The songs that

Grow from word to soul to anthem

To the history of a moment of our journey
