Oriol Lands Featured Release On Beatport.

Electronic Music download authority Beatport made Oriol’s new record Night and Day as a featured release yesterday.

A little more on Oriol's latest on Planet Mu: On his debut full-length Night and Day, Barcelona-born, Britain-based producer Oriol Singhji connects the dots between his musical interests. From drum 'n' bass and dubstep to the '70s fusion and experimentation of Herbie Hancock and Stevie Wonder to the lush house of Theo Parrish, Larry Hearrd and Recloose, the album incorporates a wide variety of influences into a singular style that's exuberant and fresh.

Liquorball Dudes Robbed--List Of Items.

Some sad news to report. Grady Runyan (ex-Revolverite, member of Liquorball, Monoshock, Bad Trips & International Hello, and an all around stellar dude) had the misfortune of being robbed at gunpoint while visiting Oakland a few days back. He was not harmed but in the process lost a sentimental instrument and some valuable equipment.

Email from Grady that has been circulating around:

Hey guys,
Last thursday Marlon & I (Liquorball) were robbed at shotgun-point in Oakland-- 32nd@ Adeline-- after working on some new recordings-- they took my guitar and every piece of gear I had with me, which was considerable-- bout $2000 probably. What hurts the most is the guitar-- a RED personalized jazzmaster/strat hybrid that I've been playing since '89-- it has been THEE guitar in every band I've been in since-- thought I was gonna be buried with it. It REALLY blows.

If you guys can keep your eyes peeled for this stuff I'd REALLY appreciate it. We've filed a police report and checked a bunch of pawn shops/flea markets before I left- didn't turn up anything.
Mighta been too early-- but it's gotta surface sometime.

The guitar is unmistakable in appearance-- red sparkle/wig hair exterior by Fred Rinne. See photo below. I will gladly pay for it's return-- no questions asked. Same for the other stuff too.
Unfortunately I do not have serial numbers-- which means it will not show up "stolen" at a pawn shop or music shop.

And we were both unharmed.

We filed a police report the night of the robbery. At this point an investigator still has yet to be assigned to the case.


Thanks VERY VERY much for anything you can do.

Sincerely,

Grady Runyan
