Austin, TX -- Catering to the growing urban music scene, Open Labs will be hosting a two-day music event titled "Beats 'N Treats Music Festival" at the Mohawk venue on October 24-25, 2008. The two day event will feature live bands and a beat competition called the "Gold Rush Beat Competition," in which the winner will receive an Open Labs NeKo LUX encased in a 24-karat gold chassis. The instrument is worth over $24,000, and is Open Labs' most expensive instrument to date. The competition will be held on the outside stage of the Mohawk for both days, with running times of 5 pm to 2 am on Friday, and 2 pm to 2 am on Saturday. Local Austin MCs will be the masters of ceremonies. The inside stage will feature live bands and DJs throughout the event.

The entire event will be filmed with multiple hi-definition cameras, and broadcast live from www.openlabs.com. Open Labs is currently marketing and advertising worldwide for the Beats 'N Treats Music Festival, and over 2,000 attendees are expected, not including on-line viewers.

The gold NeKo is personally owned by Open Labs co-founder and chairman, Victor Wong, and only 24 of the gold NeKo's will ever be made by Open Labs. Wong claims that he is giving away his personal gold NeKo as a token of appreciation to the musician community for Open Labs' success, and as a celebration for Open Labs' five year anniversary.



"We know that there is a huge urban music scene here in Austin, and we'd like to give it some more recognition, as well as help foster its growth," said Wong. "Everyone at Open Labs is very pleased with the amount of success our company has received in the last five years, this is our way of giving back to the community, who have been the fuel to Open Labs' fire."

The Beats 'N Treats Music Festival will have two stages during both days: an outside stage to host the beat competition, and an inside stage that will feature live music. The band list for the inside stage tentatively includes Recorder, DJ Veedub, Rattletree Marimba, CTRL, Fiction, The Beautiful Supermachines, CockVanDyke, Academicos Da Opera, Aciable, the Ginsu Wives, The Mercers, Androids of Ex-Lovers, Salero, Shriner Threat, El Paso Heist, Hot Pentacostals, Blackolicus, Salesman and more. The rooftop of the Mohawk will feature product demonstrations of Open Labs gear, Q&A's with certified Open Labs employees, artist demonstrations, and the gold NeKo itself will be on display.

There is a $10 registration fee for beat makers wanting to compete during the Gold Rush Beat Competition, please visit the Open Labs website for details on registration payment. All proceeds from the registration fee will be donated to charity. The registration period will start on September 15, 2008 at noon, and will end on October 15, 2008 at midnight. The registrant number is limited to 200, and is on a first come, first serve basis. Open Labs will cut off the registration period if it reaches 200 before October 15, 2008 and will announce the preemptive cut-off date at www.openlabs.com.

"We've also had a lot of public interest in the gold NeKo since we've had it on our website and Youtube videos," said Wong. "I know there are some stellar beat makers out there who deserve this machine, but can't afford it. Now is their chance to own a 24-karat gold NeKo, our best and most expensive machine, using nothing but their talent."

Headquartered in the heart of "the live music capital of the world," Open Labs™ develops customized, computer music keyboards suited to fit every studio and stage need imaginable. With a single piece of Open Labs gear, musicians can play any organ, piano, synthesizer or virtual instrument on the planet, create any sound imaginable, manipulate every parameter, record it in a multi-track system and burn it to a CD/DVD. That's just the beginning of what Open Labs products can do.

With the advent of their innovative products, the NeKo and MiKo, and the A-list artists that use them, Open Labs has become the industry standard for producers, composers and musicians of every genre. Open Labs invites you to participate in the first annual Beats 'N Treats Music Festival and supporting beat-makers world-wide.

New York, NY - Acclaimed dance-music innovators Hybrid (Mike Truman and Chris Healings,) announce the release of a new new double-disc mix collection, Soundsystem 01 on August 19, 2008. "Cinematic" is a term long associated with the duo and that widescreen emphasis comes even more into focus on Hybrid's ground-breaking new effort. Soundsystem 01 takes Hybrid's movie obsession to a new level fully merging it with their DJ / production roots. On the first disc, Truman and Healings fuse actual film scores and ambient electronica together for the first time, making for an unforgettable downtempo odyssey: here, glitchy, atmospheric
tracks from Trentemoller, Spooky, Andy Page, and new Hybrid vocalist Charlotte James blend seamlessly with edgy score selections from films like Kingdom of Heaven and Man On Fire. "It gives a good insight into glorious bits of music we thought should see light of day," Truman says. "It's a bit out of the norm - a more beatless, more abstract vein than we're known for - yet it also reflects the kind of soundtrack work we do for something like a Tony Scott film. The idea for the mix came about when the combination of this great Ryuichi Sakamoto track featuring David Sylvian, with a remix of Harry Gregson-Williams' score for Man On Fire just jelled. We wanted to mix it up so that other people's tracks become a bit of our own."

The more upfront, club-oriented disc of Soundsystem 01 also features some surprises for Hybrid fans. For one, while big-room icons like Sasha, Quivver and Elite Force are represented, Soundsystem shifts the duo's trademark progressive/breaks sound into a predominantly techier, 4/4-driven groove. "We've never actually played just one style, so this is a real reflection of our DJ sets - of what's actually in our record box," Healings explains. "This mix isn't so much banging as it is a refined journey through today's clubbing experience: a little bit progressive, a little bit chunky and tech-housey, with some techno and breakbeat in the middle."

"Making big noises is what we do," adds Healings. "It's our calling card. But whether we use electronics, string orchestras, or brass, our songs always take the listener somewhere, which is where the cinematic tag comes from."

Hybrid's filmic quality was evident from their genre defining 1999 debut Wide Angle. Since then, in addition to crafting dancefloor hits of their own and remixes for everyone from Radiohead to Moby, Hybrid has become known for their work scoring films, as well as sound design and arranging. Truman and Healings can be heard on the soundtracks of Domino and Deja Vu,in addition to Kingdom of Heaven and Man On Fire. All projects with renowned composer and frequent collaborator Harry Gregson-Williams, who also appeared on the group's 2006 album I Choose Noise. 2007, meanwhile, saw Hybrid complete its first full score for the horror film Catacombs.
"I think you have to go beyond being just a club act," Healings says. "We think of ourselves as producers, film scorers, sound designers, songwriters, and a real live band. If we were just DJs, we'd get bored very quickly."

Indeed, both Soundsystem's mixes and Hybrid's new material reflect just how diverse and vital the sphere of electronic music has become. "Music is so clashing right now, and it's glorious," Truman concludes. "It's an exciting time for music - everything's wide open."
