So I’ve been neglecting my site right here a bit. I feel bad about it, but hey, it’s not like there aren’t a million other ways for you guys to follow what I’m doing. One of the main reasons I began to blog less here is because I made an executive decision to keep this site strictly about my work, and I began to blog about all the other stuff over on Tumblr.

If you use Tumblr, hit that link and go follow me on there. Of course, Twitter and Facebook are also good ways to keep up, you’ll find those links in the top right.

I’ve still been working hard on “Emanate” – although the new Swami album set to be released in 2011 has been taking up the majority of my songwriting and recording time over the past year. I’ve co-written and recorded vocals on every song, rapped on all of them and sang on some of them too. It’s easily our best work to date, and right now our management are talking to multiple major labels to make sure this is our biggest release yet. I can’t wait to get it out there for you all to hear it. Of course, this means that there have been a lot of delays to my solo project, but it is still an ongoing process, and very much a labor of love….  because you only get to make your debut album once, and I intend for this to be the ultimate showcase of what NEOFUNK is all about. Haters can step the fuck back because this shit will hit you like an atomic bomb.

Also, stay tuned for my brand new collaboration with Kazz Kumar, “Fashion Part 2 (Neofunk Style)”….. hitting the airwaves in January….get ready!

Peace and be wild,
S-Endz…. aka Casey Rain The Neosoulja

So in 15 hours or so from the time of writing, it will be a new decade here in the UK. I for one welcome it with open arms and happily say "Good Riddance!" to the Noughties. Click the "Read More" link to find out why:

If you don’t know who Martin Atkins is, go and do your homework. From Public Image Ltd with Johnny Rotten, to Killing Joke, to Nine Inch Nails, to his industrial supergroup Pigface, to his legendary label Invisible Records to teaching music industry strategies at some of the mos prestigious universities and music industry events around the world,  to pioneering DIY music business industry models, when Martin talks, you better listen if you wanna learn something from someone who’s been there….done it….and LITERALLY wrote the book (If you’re in a band, his book TOUR:SMART is ESSENTIAL reading).

Andrew Dubber is another man to be taken seriously. A music industry expert and the man behind the website newmusicstrategies.com and the infamous "20 Things You Must Know About Music Online" e-book (also essential reading for anyone in the music industry).

And if you don’t know who I am, just hit the "About" button at the top of the page and figure it out. But suffice it to say, I’m an artist who is proactive and vocal about the nature of the new music model online, who strives to stay three steps ahead of the game. If you’re familiar with the band I am in, Swami, then chances are you’ll have noticed and been impressed by our vociferous attention to social music media.

Peace. S-Endz
