Erika & Michelle
It’s a beautiful thing to see artists support one another, even if some would see them as “competitors”. At a recent event where they both performed, this picture was taken of Erika David and Michelle Martinez, trading signed merch posters of each other. Hopefully this will be a moment remembered down the road as they each make it big. Good music, good friends, what more could you ask for?
OK. I heard about this on twitter moments after it happened but have been waiting for a visual for the post. Ted and the rest of WongFu may not be musicians per se, but they are some of the most influential guys in the scene by far and deserve a mention for this memorable event. In the middle of throwing a historic first East Coast ISA Show in NY this past weekend, Ted gathered up the courage to ask his gf of three years, Caty, to marry him. He stuttered, and mumbled, and was only semi-coherent but you know what? I gotta give the dude props because it takes cajones to do that in front of thousands of people.
Congrats to Ted & Caty. a-Tunes wishes you an amazing future together!
Trin Monsta has got a new mixtape out entitled Trademark. There are 12 tracks on the album with only a couple of interludes, so all of you TM fans should have plenty for your playlist. You can either preview the album via the bandcamp widget below or download it for free here. But if you’re really feeling it and wanna support the guy, you can pick up a copy via paypal for a high five.

Tracklist and back cover after the break.
The wildly popular Jay Park is back in Korea at the moment, making his return to the media scene over there and has already released a new single called “I Want to Cry”. Well Johnnyphlo & Schoolboy DUKE decided to put together a little remix on the song and have posted up a preview of it. It looks like we should expect a new song and video for the remix in the near future. Sounds promising but it’s too early to tell how it will turn out. Looking forward to it!
FM & Bruno have worked together in the past, both on stage and in the studio and it looks like good talent only begets one another because both have been featured in Entertainment Weekly’s feature article - The Next Big Hits Are… They surveyed various radio programmers on who they thing will be all over the airwaves this fall and it looks like FM & BM made the cut. Props to them, and hopefully it will be a prophecy fulfilled!

He calls this one “Crossing Minds” and he takes two soul/R&B classics in the form of Jill Scott’s “Cross My Mind” and Brian McKnight’s “Anytime” and blends them seamlessly. This guy transcends genre and only further cements his impressive creative abilities. If you’re feeling it as much as I was you can DL it for free here.
