This was the first and biggest Push for indie label "Digital Music Revolution", founded by Cruze, who at the time was DJ'ing at Roxbury and Glam Slam in LA, juggling his work with this indie production effort flying in and out of New York (via Moviemaker Music), Montreal Canada (Howard Foreman, The Groove Kings), LA, and Melbourne studio Power Plant in Carlton where DMR was based.
This was the audio from the Master DAT track that was duplicated onto a CASSETTE "sampler" - SIDE A - sent to all radio, record companies, media, and VIP's at/after a huge launch party February 4th, 1994 at Glam Slam LA. (note, I believe this extracted track has had "house of red" content augmented in a later cassette release - circa 1997/8, when DMR changed its name to Opulent Music and got itself a label deal with PolyGram - will come back to verify this)
The biggest inroad we made at the time was a prospect for sync on a new TV show coming out of WB called "Friends", making longtime friends with a high up exec from Disney Records, and forging a path for new music to be recorded and mastered at Princes' Paisley Park Studios in Minneapolis after Prince himself heard and loved the quality of music we were delivering. It was a hell of a lot harder to get a global audience and subsidised production with limited funds outside of a Major label, but along the way, each and every artist made it somewhere! Listen to collaborative efforts made by the finest indie talent circa 1994-98, who you probably never heard of! The Groove Kings, House Of Red (Sasi Shalom, Ann Marie, Steve Hass, Ben Butler), Lauren Kinhan, G-Tom Mac. Some tracks are available on Spotify etc. so please, do us a favour and "shazam" the track you like so we know where you're liking this! It may or may not come up - let us know if it doesn't!
Thanks to all the artists back then who had faith in us producing, marketing and/or distributing these masterpieces. As you can hear, they are simply timeless!
