Tampa’s psychedelic dance/pop duo and Billboard Top 40 musical outfit Beatnik Castle is seeking session singers for a MAJOR recording/performance project. Contact Quincy B at Quincyb@tampabay.rr.com.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for a young, up and coming singer to work with an established musical outfit with some degree of success,” says an excited Quincy B, songwriter/producer and CEO of Tampa-based independent label Mad Monk, LTD Records. “Many talented artists always complain that they never get an opportunity…well, here it is.”

The only criteria, however, according to Quincy, is that hard work, dedication, determination, and talent is tantamount to success in any chosen occupation. In addition to session work, this also could lead a talented singer to being a feature on the next Beatnik castle single. “Laziness is worse than heroin, believe me!”

Beatnik Castle’s debut single “Will U B Mine?”  (featuring singer Francillia) debuted on  Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Play Chart for May 8, 2010 and peaked at # 37 in June 2010.

The song also was recognized by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences and placed on the Official Grammy Ballot in 2009, 2010, and 2011. The video is currently being played on several radio and video outlets worldwide, including Sirius/XM, Logo, MTV, VH1 and other international video outlets as well receiving Third Place in the Entertainment Category of the Tampa Bay Video Awards/ Professional Division.

Following a stellar representation at this year’s Winter Music Conference Showcase, Beatnik Castle has released “Tu Puedes Ser Mio?” – a PitBull-styled reggatone song featuring local female rap sensation Cila and singer Leemarie and coproduced by Quincy B and famed dance producer Georgie Porgie.

“Beatnik Castle also is preparing to launch its much-anticipated third single “How Do You Mend a Broken Heart (Like Mine)?” in Spring 2011. The single should be ready for release by January 2011. The fourth Beatnik single will be “Wander into You” featuring the extremely talented Ariale will be available Spring 2011. Remixes for both “Broken Heart” and, for the most part,  “Wander” will include worldwide famed dance remixers  Josh Harris, Cato K, Lenny B, Julian Marsh, and Majik Boys as well Trypsin, Electrosonix, and Captain GQ.
