Musicadium’s WITH DIGITAL LOVE (not to be confused with Yves Klein Blue’s new single) showcases at BarSoma have scored their first prime-time, Saturday night blowout.  Digital Music Aggregators Musicadium are curating the entertainment for the evening, from go to whoa, so wear some comfortable dancing shoes, it’s going to be a long one.

3 bands, including Melbourne’s trip-hop duo Sietta, Brisbane’s wonderfully theatrical Felinedown and hometown rapper Castel will begin the evening before 3 DJs close out the evening - keeping it in the Digital Distributor family, Musicadium intern DJ Jane Doe and Musicadium friends Will Timmins and DuaneMC will see the party out until the early hours of the morning - closing time, to be exact.

Formed in 2007, Sietta is a two piece consisting of the electronic production of James Mangohig (Yamez) and the singing of caiti.b.  The name ‘Sietta’ is derived from 7 in Spanish and Etta James.  Hailing from as far afield as Darwin and Brisbane but now settled in Melbourne, these two friends share a rich musical connection anchored in the belief that music should be powerful.  Their delightful trip-hop can be found at http://www.myspace.com/siettamusic.

Felinedown seem to be the Brisbane music reviewer’s delight to write about, with reviews such as this from 4ZzZ “On a scale of 1 to 10, I would say this show was somewhere between ‘OMG!’ and ‘F**k Yeah!’ with a dash of ‘keep your eye on this band’ thrown in for good measure.” Lead singer Brodie gets some love from Rave Magazine as well - “Sex-on-legs singer Brodie Wright draws everyone’s attention with her seductive presence and strong vocals, most prominently on the deliciously sleazy grind of Magazine Dream.” Their Garbage/Goldfrapp-inspired sound can be found at http://www.myspace.com/felinedown.

Part producer, part inventor, Castel is the antidote to hip-hop mediocrity.  In 2007, Castel’s unique blend of electronic sounds and hip-hop styles caught the attention of music industry experts, including Amber Zada (Manager of Sneaky Sound System), Scott Stewart (MCM Entertainment), Susanna Santos (Roadshow Music) and Mike Campbell (Universal Music) who selected him as the winner of the Coca-Cola Live ‘N Local Unsigned Queensland competition.   He can be found at http://www.myspace.com/castelonline.

Jane Doe is no newcomer to the Brisbane indie-electro scene.  She has spent the past few months injecting the Brisbane night life with her distinctive blend of indie remixes, electro trash, mash ups and crazy hip hop beats.  She is giving away her latest demo at http://www.myspace.com/janedoedj.   Will Timmins spins breaks and house tunes while DuaneMC will finish the night out.

The Showcase is $10 entry as it is every Saturday at BarSoma and starts at 9pm.  Doors close at 4am.  It is an 18+ event.  Tickets are available only at the door.  For more information, see the event invite at http://www.facebook.com/musicadium.
