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."

If you're anything like me this ep is going to take you back a few years...Not in the since of Mount Sims past albums but stepping back a little further to a sound of when we were younger.  This ep has a bit of punk / goth influence, but still with the usual taste of Mount Sims. I listened  to the ep about 4 times. Grasping to the tracks Grave & Unwound...I think these two are really going to take it home.  This Hungry Eye Records release features Berlin based Randy Twigg, Andre Lange, & producer Thomas Stern of Crime & the City Solution.  The cover art is done by Peter Wu, and is quite impressive and relative to the sound of the ep.  This release will be available digitally & a limited edition run will be done of a 12" clear vinyl....GET IT!

Mount Sims is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on the third album Happily Ever After...Which is going to be something GRAND!

Mexican rockers KINKY will reissue their acclaimed album REINA (Kin-Kon/Nettwerk) on February 5, 2008 with two added tracks, a new remix of "A Donde Van Los Muertos" from the Brazilian Girls and a cover of Wall of Voodoo’s hit song "Mexican Radio." A crowd favorite during their live set, Kinky also shot a video for "Mexican Radio" with a special cameo from original Wall of Voodoo frontman Stan Ridgway. (Check out the video here: http://kinkymusic.com/video/mexicanradio.html)

Reina, which earned Kinky two Latin Grammy nominations, was initially released in September 2006 and is their third full-length album. Written and produced entirely by the band, Reina was received incredibly well by fans and critics alike; Rolling Stone called it "dance-till-you-drop mayhem" while URB said "[Reina] pulses, pounds, grinds and grooves down deep."

Most known for their unmatched stage presence, Kinky will hit the road in late February in support of the release.
