Surya Dub – Last month, the ImaginAsian Radio Newsletter announced the launch of a new monthly event by Maneesh the Twister, Surya Dub. Surya Dub is the next level in Global Dubwize Vibes and Dread Bass Culture. Needless to say, the event was a great success and for all those that were not in town to catch the event, you can check out a video here. You can also take a look at the SF Weekly review on the event, here.

After you checked out the clip and read the review, make sure not to miss the next Surya Dub event taking place on February 24th, 2007. Keep your eyes glued to the ImaginAsian Radio Newsletters for more updates on this monthly event.

The Speaks – The band checked in from Asia where they just completed their press conference and radio tour to update everyone in the Philippines about their next album. They are actually working with some HUGE names for their upcoming album. Some notables – legandary producer, Chucky Thompson (producer of Mary J. Blige’s album, P. Diddy, Nas, TLC, etc.), Scott Spellbring (producer of Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews Band), just to name a few. The band is making strides and promises that ImaginAsian Radio will get some exclusives when the time comes. The album promises to deliver more of The Speaks and we are waiting to see what touches Chucky Thompson add to the songs, since I hear that this is the first time that he has worked with a rock band.
