[From All Music.com-Andy Kellman] Cedric Gervais is a French DJ/producer and actor best known for his multi-platinum, Grammy-winning remix of Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness" (2013). In addition to his hit with Del Rey, Gervais has remixed tracks by dozens of other pop and rock artists for the dance-floor, and has actively released original material since the early 2000s. He operates the Sleaze and Sleaze Industry labels, and also counts heavyweight dance imprint Ultra and major-label Island among the outlets for his releases. Gervais' full-length projects have alternated from production albums such as Experiment (2006) and Miamication (2011) to commercial DJ mixes.

Don’t You Want Me
Gervais, born Cédric DePasquale in Marseille, got his start as a teenaged resident DJ at LeQueen in his native Paris. He relocated to Miami Beach in 1998 for the sake of advancing his career.
Within only three years, he was releasing his own productions for Ultra sublabel You, and his first commercial DJ mix, The House Sessions, was issued in 2003. By then, he was an in-demand remix producer, but he continued to release original material on 12" -- often through his digital Sleaze and physical Sleaze Industry labels -- and put together his first artist album, Experiment, in 2006. Miamication, his second LP, followed in 2011. The next two years were his biggest yet. The single "Molly" topped out at number five on the U.K. dance chart, and was sampled by Tyga for the hit of the same title. Read more @All Music.com (Click Here)

[From All Music.com-John Bush] Formed in 1988 as a garage punk band, Sublime rose to fame in the mid-'90s on the back of the California punk explosion engendered by Green Day and the Offspring, though Sublime boosted their punk influences with heavy elements of reggae and ska. The band released only two albums during its first seven years, and finally found mainstream success with a self-titled release in 1996. It proved to be Sublime's last proper album, however, as lead singer Brad Nowell died in May 1996, just two months before the record's release.
Sublime
Santeria
The three Long Beach musicians who comprised Sublime -- vocalist/guitarist Nowell, bassist Eric Wilson, and drummer Bud Gaugh -- played their first gig on July 4, 1988, at a small Long Beach club (a show that sparked the infamous Peninsula Riot). The group began touring heavily while amassing an increasingly substantial following, especially among the surf/skate beach crowd. After four years of concentrating strictly on live shows, Sublime recorded their first album, 40oz. to Freedom, in 1992. The LP was released on Skunk Records -- a label formed by Nowell with Sublime manager Miguel -- and sold at local shows, but it really started to break when local radio station KROQ began playing the single "Date Rape" two years after its initial release.
Mostly due to that radio exposure, Sublime signed to MCA in time for 1994's Robbin' the Hood, which revealed an experimental ethic more in keeping with cut-and-paste dub than the well-tuned rage of the Cali punk revival. The album performed well at college radio and set the stage for the breakout success of their self-titled third album. On May 25, 1996, however, Nowell was found in a San Francisco hotel room, dead of a heroin overdose. The band collapsed, but the eponymous Sublime was still slated for a July release.

[From honchomusicgroup.com] When Jacob Stelly enrolled at Texas A&M in 2017, he barely knew his way around the acoustic guitar. By the time he graduated four years later, he'd grown into an acclaimed songwriter and full-time road warrior, creating a signature sound that fused Texas country twang with Red Dirt roots-rock and anthemic Americana.
Raised two hours away in Liberty, Texas, Stelly grew up listening to classic songs by George Jones, Alan Jackson, and Randy Travis. "My grandpa is my best friend in the whole world, and those are the singers he loved," he remembers. His father introduced him to a different sound. "Dad loved Elvis," Stelly adds, "but he also loved Elton John, The Band, and a lot of 1970s rock & roll. Even before I began writing songs, I had all this amazing music pumped into my ears."
That childhood soundtrack received a jolt of electricity during Stelly's final years of high school, when he discovered Texas' rich legacy of homegrown country music. Songwriters like Randy Rogers, Dalton Domino, and Parker McCollum were home state heroes, delivering stories about life, love, and loss with a uniquely Texan perspective. It wasn't just a sound; it was a community. Stelly was hooked.

"I fell in love not only with the music, but also the atmosphere that surrounded it," he explains. "It was this amazing scene, this massive uprising of Red Dirt country, right outside my back door. I wanted to be part of it."
Inspired, he began playing guitar as a freshman at Texas A&M. He'd moved to College Station to be a student, but songwriting quickly became his main focus. By his junior year, he was playing shows at local bars like The Tap, drawing bigger and bigger crowds with each gig. "I'd waited so long to play my own music that I felt a bit behind the curve," he admits. "I had to figure out everything really fast — how to sing, how to write a good song, how to play a good show — and it was a blessing in disguise. Working that hard made me into the person I am today." Read more @honchomusicgroup.com (Click Here)

[From reverbnation.com] Armed with a sound that mixes the rootsy stomp of the Southern states with the trippy swoon of the West Coast, Folk Family Revival make music for rock clubs and rodeos, dive bars and honky-tonks, or campfires and cantinas. A throwback to a time when Southern rock and psychedelic music dominated the airwaves, they may be best described as a psychedelic folk- country rock and roll band, but they’re not wild about labeling their sound. They’d rather let the music do the talking.
Water Walker, the band’s newest release (due out on Rock Ridge Music on April 7, 2015), includes 12 songs that were weaned and whittled on the road, where the Texas-based band of brothers — featuring Mason, Barrett and Lincoln Lankford, along with family friend Caleb Pace — built up their audience one gig at a time.
Folk Family Revival - "American Standard" Sessions from Blue Rock LIVE
After releasing their debut album in 2011, the guys hit the Texas circuit hard, opening shows for legends like Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Wanda Jackson. At times called a country band, the young group used the label as motivation to push their boundaries and develop a diverse yet distinctive set. Soon their sound was reflective of a variety of genres. Some nights they’d have a blues rock feel and others an Americana or folk vibe. This wide-ranging experimentation and push to progress helped fuel Water Walker. Read more @reverbnation.com (Click Here)
