Hi All,

Here is a good interview with Leper.

www.indievisionmusic.com/interviews/skot-shaw-of-leper/

Here is a quote from the article:
Skot: Yeah, I agree. I liked the older stuff. I liked Under Midnight. Mortal! I really freaked out over them. Deitiphobia.

IVM: Yeah, I loved that danceable style of industrial! November Commandment’s another great one.

Skot: Yeah. I didn’t get them at first. That was one that had to grow on me. They eventually became Sanctum, and that I just went nuts over! I played their records to death. I’ve seen them at Cornerstone both times they came. It was fantastic! The first set was just great. The second time it was odd because they had just the one vocalist, and a screen. Then they had a table with about four people, maybe eight people. And they all had a laptop in front of them, as though they were the ones generating the music. 

Thanks :). God Bless :).

Hi All, Here is a link to an article about NKay from Nigeria. https://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/music/NKay__The_popular_gospel_Afrobeat_singer_proclaiming_life_has_meaning/66869/p1/

Here is a quote:

"A friend of mine wanted to put together a mixtape of different artists and he sent me about seven beats and said write something and I wrote something on it. I didn't even take is seriously. There was a competition going on in Nigeria at the time with some popular gospel artists of the time. I had a friend who had a really amazing song and I sent him my friend's song and tagged mine on, which wasn't even complete, I hadn't finished up in the studio, but I put it on just so he could listed and let me know what he thought. It turned out that after they heard both tracks they got back to me and they were like 'yours is amazing'. It wasn't about me - it was about my friend's track. I went away all confused and literally, that's how it kicked off."

Thanks :), God Bless :),

Hi All,
Here is a good article about Goodboys from the UK http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/music/Goodboys__The_Hillsong_Church_UK_trio_with_the_Piece_Of_Your_Heart_mega_hit/66579/p1/

Here is a quote:
All three members of Goodboys worship at Hillsong Church, London and on the church website they explained how they sent demos of some songs to Meduza and, six months later, were told that the production team were flying over to London from Italy.
As Josh explained, "They said, 'Hey, we should hook up and write some songs together.' It was super random, but that's how it all began.

Thanks :). God Bless :).

Hi All,
Here is a good article on Jesus Loves Electro group http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/music/Jesus_Loves_Electro_The_Norwegian_EDM_duo_with_10_years_of_ministry/66454/p1/

Here is a quote: "acts as USA's Transform, Britain's Andy Hunter, Switzerland's Elishua Summer and Colombia's Jhonny Vergel, there are two dance floor creators from Norway who continue to make waves. Jesus Loves Electro will soon clock up an amazing 10 years of music making and their Cross Rhythms radio hits "Burning Love" and "Life (Radio Edit)" show the JLE duo - Casper Cornelius and Ole Jose - can make music which sounds good on radio as well as booming around a dance floor.
When asked how Jesus Loves Electro started Ole replied, "We started out as a group from our home church in Oslo in 2010."

Thanks :). God Bless :).

Hi All,

Here is a good article about Transform: www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/music/Transform__Denvers_EDM_musicianaries_taking_ground_for_Christ/62562/p1/

Here is a quote:"I've had different means of getting an income outside of Transform - a job or other things. In those other times we have free, that's when we're working on music or ideas, brainstorming for the future, putting together a radio show for the week."
Dance music ministry has had to withstand considerable criticism down the years from conservative elements within the Church.

Thanks :). God Bless :).

Hi All,
Here is a good article about Floorpla: 
https://thump.vice.com/en_au/article/8q7gz4/how-god-inspired-robert-hoods-floorplan-classic-we-magnify-his-name

Here is a quote: "God literally woke me up out of my sleep and said, "I want you to put the gospel message in your music,"" Hood — a licensed and ordained minister — tells me down the phone from his home in the Deep South. "Basically I want to communicate that spirit, and my relationship with Christ through my sound. I'd been envisaging that for some time but this time God made it plain: I want you to put it out there. I began to question myself and question God and said, "Well, how are people going to perceive it it?" and God said, "Don't worry about that.""

Thanks :). God Bless :).
