Horror Film “The Kult” Begins Principal Photography in Southern California
San Diego-based Gharial Productions announces that upcoming horror film The Kult began principal photography on September 27, 2010 in San Diego and Riverside Counties under the direction of Kip Shelton.
The screenplay is based on the best selling thriller by UK author Shaun Jeffrey, and it weaves a terrifying story of a hunt for a serial killer. Acting out of misguided loyalty to his friends, Detective Prosper Snow is goaded into helping them perform a copycat killing. But when the real killer comes after him, it’s not only his life on the line, but his family’s too. If he goes to his colleagues for help, he risks being arrested for murder. If he doesn’t, he risks being killed.
The screenplay went into negotiations in the middle of November 2009 between Gharial Productions and Leucrota Press, and emerged with a solid contract offer and acceptance in early December.
The film stars Joe Soro, an unknown to the Hollywood movie scene, as Detective Prosper Snow. His casting carries on Gharial’s history of casting fresh faces. The entire film will be shot on location in San Diego and Riverside Counties, including the cities of San Diego, Poway, Temecula, and Lake Elsinore.
With two weeks of shooting already under the cast and crews’ belts, the level of excitement on set is palpable. As an added bonus, Shaun Jeffrey flew out to the US on October 5th to visit the set. He and the cast attended a book signing at the Barnes & Noble store in Oceanside, CA on the 6th.

A new single, “Lights Out”, will be released September 28, 2010 by recording artists Fallon and Felisha. “Lights Out” is a club-banging, fist-pumping tribute to being young and alive. It sets the party mood for anyone who wants to dance and embrace the moment. As Fallon describes it, “It’s one of my favorite songs to perform. I think our fans will appreciate the energy!”
Fallon and Felisha have had an impact on the music industry for many years. They started their careers alongside their sisters, Farrah and Neosha, in the popular R&B group, Cherish. Their debut album “Unappreciated”, received much critical acclaim. It was certified gold and debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, making them one of only a few R&B girl groups to hit the charts top five in almost a year. Their hit single, “Do It To It,” landed the number twelve spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 and was listed on many other Billboard charts including the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
The twins are currently building on the success and experience they had with the group Cherish and are now expanding their artistic genius toward a broader audience. In Felisha’s words,” I’ve always had a love and passion for pop music. Music, to me, is supposed to reflect who you really are, reaching across genres, and relating to individuals from all walks of life”.
Through their lyrics, they share insight into being young and dealing with relationships. They are inspired by an eclectic mix of artists, and drawing upon that inspiration they are ready to relate to a diverse group of people. In this new decade of a continuously changing music industry, Fallon and Felisha are ready to begin a new era.
The new single “Lights Out” will be available for downloads on iTunes, Amazon Mp3, Rhapsody, Napster, MySpace, eMusic and www.fallonandfelisha.com online store. The official website is also set to launch September 28, 2010.

Singer, songwriter and composer Moh Dediouf is a world traveller. Born in Dakar in 1974, his influence is international. Through his music he has proven to be the personal manifesto of/for the Africa renewal.
From his early years in Dakar to his life in Europe, Moh Dediouf explored multiple influences (pop/rock, house music), that he blends with his African roots, thus creating a unique sound.
His debut, self-produced album, released in 2007, has already gained recognition: Moh is the first French artist to win the First Prize in the World Music Category at the International Songwriting Competition. His song Adouna was chosen among more than 15000 tracks and 100 countries.
Moh Dediouf is now working on his second album, Smile Way of Life, a humanistic project that gathers artists from the African continent but also North Africa, Switzerland, France…
And the winner is…
His talent was rewarded again this year, his track Africaaa being the only song from a French artist to be featured on the 2010 official World Cup Compilation Hello Afrika. The lyrics, which are both in Wolof and in English, convey the energy and the diversity of the African continent. Africaa has received full attention because it represents the richness of African music and symbolizes the African unity that so many artists want to promote.
I have a dream
A hopeless dream? Not so sure… A wind of renewal is blowing on Africa, putting African artists together, including Moh dediouf, all willing to reinvent the continent in their own way by promoting its cultural strengths. With his track So in Love, which is a hymn to universal love and a true call for brotherhood, the artist makes his mark for bringing peace to Africa.
Release of the single So in Love: 15th august 2010

Indamixx family of mobile DAW’s grows up. New Laptops includes faster processors, storage, memory and pre loaded Linux custom audio OS. Feature rich appliance is an ideal Music Computer and Audio Laptop for recording, broadcasting and music making.
Los Angeles, CA, August 31, 2010 — Trinity Audio Group Inc. announces the availability of it’s newest line of Music Computers, Indamixx Pro and Indamixx Pro SL. New Pro models maintain the Indamixx identity, small form factor mobile recording appliances, while adding performance hardware features ideal for professional audio recording. Pro models include additional music making applications, synthesizers, native plug-ins, and native virtual instruments (VST’s). Indamixx Pro models also include the debut of HDMIDJ’s. HDMIDJ’s utilizes the on board HDMI port as an all-in-one Digital DJ solution.
“Indamixx Pro is the most affordable and complete Music Laptop on the market today,” says Creative Director Ronald Stewart. “Anyone considering purchasing an Apple MacBook Pro for professional audio production should take a serious look at what Indamixx Pro offers. A similar Apple solution with Pro Tools, Logic with all the plug-ins and virtual instruments (VST’s) would cost more than three times as much as our most expensive solution,” says Stewart.
An Apples to Apples comparison is available here or at www.indamixx.com.
Music Laptops all the rage or just en vogue?
“Dr. Dre and HP’s Beats laptop is $400.00 more than our most expensive model and theirs doesn’t ship with any music production software or dedicated digital audio workstation. Public Enemy said it best, Don’t believe the hype,” says Stewart.
When technology meets innovation.
HDMIDJ’s (an Indamixx Pro exclusive) utilizes the HDMI port and a HDMI cable connected to an HDTV to replace the need for a 4 output sound card. “This is ideal for those ‘bedroom DJ’s’ just starting out and have a $9.00 HDMI cable laying around. Why go broke buying expensive and difficult to setup products, when Indamixx Pro solves those problems right out the box. With pre loaded Mixxx Digital DJ software, this setup behaves more like a gaming console and truly is an all-in-one solution,” says Stewart.
Indamixx Pro ships with 330 plug-ins, including 30 native plug-ins and effects, 312 synthesizers, full versions of energy XT, Renoise Super Tracker (a global exclusive), LinuxDSP Live and Native, VST Host, 2 Vocoders and much much more.
Indamixx features Intel CULV Dual Core and Core Duo processors, 800 FSB RAM and 7200 RPM hard drives.
