SHRIFT – LOST IN A MOMENT
Shrift is a new collaboration between former Smoke City vocalist Nina Miranda and multi- texturalist/producer Dennis Wheatley. Their aptly titled debut release, Lost in a Moment, brings together beautiful acoustic and electronic soundscapes with Miranda's luminous vocals. Lost in a Moment is Shrift's first album but it is hardly a debut for the group's two members. Anglo-Brazilian Nina Miranda is a charter member of the celebrated group Smoke City and has recorded with such luminaries as Bebel Gilberto, Nitin Sawhney and Da Lata. Dennis Wheatley is best known for his work with the British electronic band Atlas. As Shrift, these two musicians have crafted a warm, elegant and atmospheric fusion of acoustic and electronic music to soothe your soul and stir your imagination. The album will be released on February 7, 2006.

NIYAZ – REMIXED EP
The beautiful sound of Niyaz's Persian/Electronica has been taken to new dance-floor heights with these remixes. Tracks from the group's debut CD have been re-worked by the Netherlands' superstar producer/DJ Junkie XL, UK based Paul Oakenfold collaborator, Andy Gray, New Delhi label-mates MIDIval PunditZ and Niyaz' electronics whiz Carmen Rizzo. The EP will be available on January 17, 2006.
