When you buy a track or album, 50 cents of every dollar you spend goes directly to the National Headquarters of the Salvation Army in the U.S. Additionally, many artists are donating the proceeds they’d normally receive from sales to this relief effort. Due to the scale of the devastation, funds & help will be needed for many months & perhaps even years to come. So when you download any of the tracks off the album, you’ll be contributing some much needed money. Each track is less than a couple of bucks, so you won’t even notice it missing from your pocket!

Students participating in the TAFE Gawler “Learn 2 Earn” program are about to get their first full dose of “Sampson’s Addiction” by “L2EZ”. Now that the final version of the track has been mastered, “Sampson’s Addiction” will finally be exposed for all to experience…

The hip-hop track, which was co-written & produced by Dino Jag, came about as a result of student participation in the TAFE Gawler “Learn 2 Earn” program. Under the watchful eye of Dani Vadoulis, the innovative program has used the recording, manufacturing & marketing of a song as the vehicle for the students to learn to apply a broad range of real-life work related skills.

“It’s been a lot of fun working with the guys,” says Dino. ““Sampson’s Addiction” has shaped up to be a very cool song, I think people will really dig it.”

Stay tuned for release details.

Today during an interview with Barry Crocker on the ABC, listeners across the country got an exclusive preview airing of “Shine a Light,” the new track to be released by Barry Crocker which also features Adelaide based singer/songwriter & producer Dino Jag…

The project was started by Barry Crocker and Damien Reilly from Blue Pie. “After a few meetings we found some of the work that I did in the 70′s and while we were going through some of the records at my place we made a call to Dino Jag and got him onto the case and he locked down on the “Moonbeams” track,” says Barry.

“Dino has a real gift for mixing and is one talented singer/songwriter. Dino got to work on the track and came back with some demo ideas. We worked on the mix a little more and I got to re-do my vocals at Underfoot Studios with Michael Hardwick at Crows Nest.

“The thing that is so special about this song is that we have some of the world’s best playing on the original sessions (David Foster, Jay Graydon, Larry Carlton…) which have been incorporated into the new track. There is a really cool story about the original sessions… Let’s take a time warp some 28 Years to today… and Dino Jag works this into a super track with new vocals by Dino and myself.

The mastering session went well today. Neville Clark mastered the track using some very tasty analog gear which really helped to enhance the retro characteristics of the track. Neville has a wonderful set of ears… this track now has wings!

It’s official, “L2EZ” will now be the identity for hip-hop performers Mitchell Reardon, Steven Goodchild & brothers Lewis & Oliver Petty…

Brought together as participants of the TAFE Gawler “Learn 2 Earn” program, the members of L2EZ have been busy recording there first hip-hop track “Sampson’s Addiction” with writer/producer & recording artist Dino Jag.

“We’ve been having a lot of fun on this track,” says Dino. “The guys have come up with some quirky lyrics & have done a great job on laying down the rap. We’ve also got some cool beat-boxing onto the track from Oliver Petty. I think people are really gonna dig it. I’ve just about finished working on the music & am about to move into production mode… I’ll keep you posted!”

Today a select group of students participating in the TAFE Gawler “Learn 2 Earn” program got there first taste of recording with writer/producer & recording artist Dino Jag…

The innovative program is using the recording, manufacturing & marketing of a song as the vehicle for students to learn & apply a broad range of real-life work related skills. “It’s not always easy for young people to take that first step into the work force,” says course facilitator (& singer/songwriter) Dani Vadoulis. “Getting them motivated can be half the battle, so we decided to look at how we could apply some basic work skills to an area that they had a strong interest in hip-hop music.

“There’s quite a strong hip-hop culture that exists in & around Gawler, & this is well represented amongst the students participating in the program. One of the students, Oliver Petty, is into beat-boxing & writes lyrics. It seemed like a good idea to get him together with a few of the other students to see if they could write some lyrics together for a hip-hop song to record.

“Dino Jag will be working on the music & will produce the song. Meanwhile, other students will research the costs & logistics of manufacturing & distributing CDs, & will look into promotional & marketing strategies that could be employed for the release of the song.

“All in all, there’s a healthy mix of tasks & skills that are being learnt & used during the project which will also directly apply to other work environments.” Students performing on the recording will be Mitchell Reardon, Steven Goodchild & brothers Lewis & Oliver Petty.

Today an agreement was signed with Odessa Mama Records for the digital mobile music rights to “Play That Funky Music” by Dino Jag. The tracks will soon be available for purchase from digital music retailers around the world…

Consumers will soon be able to download the tracks directly to there mobile phones or other portable wireless devices &… Play The Funky Music!

On Wednesday night the new Sydney Hilton came alive to the sounds of crooner Barry Crocker, Adelaide singer/songwriter & producer Dino Jag, Indonesian born reggae-folk rocker Tommee and DJ Stickleback…

All artists were performing at the annual Foundation Diane Gala Dinner. Foundation Diane is the fundraising arm of the Institute for Magnetic Resonance Research (IMRR), a charitable not-for-profit organisation that has achieved international acclaim as a leader in its field and in 1998 was recognised as a Centre for Excellence in Magnetic Resonance Research. IMRR needs additional funds to speed up the process of making this powerful diagnostic tool widely available.

The theme of the gala event was “Everybody’s Gorgeous” which was inspired from the track “Blah Blah Blah” from Tommee’s debut album No Added Sugar, a song about the beauty of life and reaching out to others in times of adversity.

Dino Jag says “Performing with Barry Crocker was a hoot! He is the consummate entertainer.”

Knowing that the Nine Network was planning a “This Is Your Life” tribute for Barry Crocker was one of the hardest secrets I’ve ever had to keep! I wish I could’ve been there to witness the surprise!

Barry Crocker has been such a great inspiration to so many entertainers around the globe. It’s fantastic to see his generosity & amazing contribution to music, film & television being publicly acknowledged… CONGRATULATIONS BAZ!
