John B feat. Shaz Sparks // Red Sky (REMIXES) [BETA 019R/BETA 019T] by Beta Recordings

PRESS RELEASE:

In demand producer John B’s ‘Red Sky’ is about to be re-released as part of a brand new remix package.

‘Red Sky’ has received incredible renewed hype following it being sampled on huge US star Nicki Minaj’s  ’Here I am’ from the already gold selling album ‘Pink Friday’. A massive drum and bass hit in 2008, ‘Red Sky’, is now going to be propelled into a different stratosphere, and it comes with brand new exciting remixes to match.

Dubbed rap’s answer to Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj’s album is anticipated to be one of the highest selling albums worldwide of 2010/2011: skip to track ten and you will hear John B’s distinctive trance and bass fusion pounding through reigniting interest in what has already become a classic Drum & Bass dance floor smash.

John B himself is a well known international superstar DJ who has been playing a non-stop global tour for over a decade. In-between taking his unique sound (and make-up bag) to every corner of the world, John is known for his genre defying production talents.

The John B Podcast is going from strength to strength, pushing John’s signature electro/trance influenced high energy Drum & Bass sound, getting up to 200K downloads per episode & has been a major factor in his ever-growing worldwide fan-base.

On top of running his own labels Beta Recordings & Nu Electro, he has produced tracks featured on Paul Oakenfold’s Perfecto Label, recently remixed chart topping bands such as Pendulum & Bloc Party, and produced a pioneering ‘Trance & Bass’ remix for Michael Cassette on Anjunabeats. Currently ranked 76th best DJ in the world in DJ magazine’s influential Top 100 Poll, 2011 is going to be a huge year for John B and ‘Red Sky’.

John B new album will be released in late June, and will be followed by the first of a new Mix CD series, Trance & Bass 2011.

‘Red Sky’ is being re-released in Febuary 2011 and comes complete with dubstep, trance and drum and bass remixes from John B himself and cutting-edge producers  Rebel Sonix, and Subsonik & Smooth.

New John B & Beta Recordings Webstore Launched!

October 28, 2009 by  
Filed under Featured, News

We’re proud to announce the launch of our brand new webstore at www.beta-store.com

Thanks to the amazing skills of our new web designer genius Mike @ bozboz.co.uk and Trickartt at www.trickartt.com and a lot of blood, sweat and tears in the Beta Recordings office AND several million hours climbing around in the loft going through all our back catalogue and checking stock levels – we’re finally there!

The new webstore has a much better system for dealing with digital downloads, we sell bundles now too which is great for albums, and we’re planning on putting up some previously unavailable stuff too – like John’s first album, ‘Visions’ and a previously very limited USA only release of ‘Brainstorm’ – plus lots more classics, remastered & remixed – but more on that later.

We’ve also massively improved the shipping system – every item has its weight recorded, so when you check out all you have to do is tell us which country you live in, the webstore works out the total weight of everything you ordered and then calculates the correct shipping, so no more searching for the right shipping option in a huge list, and no more accidental overcharging or any of that rubbish! Lovely!

We’ve got loads of back catalogue up now, (if it’s displayed on the site then we have it in stock!) – and some really cool new stuff coming in time for Christmas too (did someone say JOHN B SNOWGLOBES!? haha!)

So go check out www.beta-store.com right now and bag yourself some electropunkrobotikDrum&Bass – mp3s are only 89p!

Filed under John B, Tour Photos

So I finally got all the photos together, gathered (with the kind help of my Russian fans and friends on vKontakte.ru) from lots of gallery websites, all Russian ones I find impossible to translate ;-)

As you can see it was an amazing show, ROASTING in there, so much so they got me 2 huge fans which worked a treat – except they blew my CDs about ;-) Had no time to hang around afterwards either, there’s only one flight a day out of Nizhny Novgorod on a decent airline (i.e not a scarey Russian one!) at about 5 am – so I had to literally jet right out of there as soon as my set was done – straight to the airport, with all my makeup on and rave-dirt etc! Got a few funnny looks at Passport control but managed to totally sort myself out and get changed in the wierd little airport bathroom before the flight took off. I think I was only on the ground for about 4 hours from the point of landing in Russia to taking off again – that’s a proper rave-commute ;-)

Anyway – here’s some of the photos below, and as always you can see the whole gallery on my flickr gallery, facebook AND myspace (yes I spend a lot of time uploading stuff!)
