“This couldn’t have come at a better time,” sighs an exhausted Quincy B, adding that 2010 is “starting to get busy.” Beatnik Castle was invited to perform at the Deet Promotions Winter Music Conference Showcase at Twist and, according to Top 10 Billboard artist and new Beatnik singer Ohsha Kai, “I had a wonderful time and really enjoyed performing the new single!” Performing with Ohsha Kai were back-up singers Jamesson Beane (filling in for regular back-up Ariale Brown, who couldn’t attend) and Leemarie, who, with Tampa rapper Apoca, performed Beatnik Castle’s Latin/Rap version of “Will U B Mine?” appropriately, titled “Tu Puedos Ser Mio?” Former Beatnik Castle featured singer Francillia also performed as well.

Beatnik Castle’s second single “How Do You Mend a Broken Heart (Like Mine)?” featuring Ohsha Kai should be ready for release by summer 2010. The trailer is currently available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VmWjS_O8Vc. And, according to those DJ’s who’ve heard the track, is already is creating a stir because of its retro 70’s style vibe, (Beatnik Castle’s signature style), and, of course, the powerful soulful vocals of Ohsha Kai. Incidentally, “Tu Puedos Ser Mio?” (the backbeat is the instrumental from Georgie Porgie’s WUBM tribal mix with additional electronic goodies from Quincy) and a Spanish acoustic version of the song (performed by Leemarie, who also sang back-up on “Broken Heart”) will be available soon.

“We’re sticking with the same team on this one as well, “ says Quincy, adding that, to date, remixers Josh Harris, Cato K, Lenny B, Julian Marsh, and Majik Boys have committed to the new single. “Why change horses in midstream?” Also joining the Beatnik Team is songwriter, arranger, and producer Bobby G. Summers, a multi-talented musician and founding member of The Deele (with L.A. Reed and Babyface). Summers has worked with The Bar-Kays, General Kane, Sly and the Family Stone and was the Music Director for Enterprise Orchestra that toured with Rev. Al Green for over 15 years.

The video for “Will U B Mine?” (directed by Russ Miller) made its national broadcast debut on Logo December 2009 and has been added to MTV, VH1, Spike TV, Music Choice and other audio and video outlets worldwide as well as winning an award at the 2010 Tampa Bay Video Awards this year. “Will U Be Mine?” was placed on the Official Grammy Ballot by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences in the Grammy category “Dance Single of the Year” in 2008 and 2009.

NEW CLUB MIX CD Available! Click Image to Order!

Beatnik Castle’s February 2010  limited edition Club Remix CD features new artwork and several new dance/club remixes by such dance world notables as Josh Harris, Lenny B, Cato K, Georgie Porgie, Majik Boys, Tod Miner, Julian Marsh and, of course, Quincy B. A Spanish Rap/salsa, Euro Techno, and eclectic Reggae version also will be available later this year.

Tampa-based doom-metallers Peasants of Posture is diligently writing and rehearsing material for Foolin’ at the World, the much-anticipated follow-up to the 2006 debut CounterRevolution.  Helping out with some of the remixes and new songs is none other than Beatnik Castle lead singer and songwriter (and fellow label mate) Francillia.

“It’s definitely an honor and a privilege to have such a tremendous musician and songwriter helping us out, “says POP bassist Anastasia V. Romanov. Francillia’s haunting yet sultry vocals can be heard on the new POP single “Los Illuminados” as well as the techno/tranz version of “God of War (Release Me)” from the upcoming POP sophomore release Foolin’ at the World. “Francillia also sang on the Lamb of God Remix” and graciously offered to sing on some of our other songs as well,” adds a jubilant Romanov.

“She’s an incredible talent and really adds a new dimension. I wish we can steal her from Quincy and Beatnik!” his strange but effective musical collaboration – a pop/R& B singer/songwriter collaborating with an industrial/goth metal rock band as POP is, for the most part, a marriage “made in heaven.” Anastasia and POP singer Thomas E. Rasputin also lent their musical services on “desperado” – a brilliant contemporary rendition of the 1971 Alice Cooper classic which will appear on Francillia’s solo 2010 CD Temptation. PPO guitarist Felix Yussopov also played on Francillia tunes “Alley Cat” and the title track. Any chance that the lovely Francillia appearing on stage with the Peasants?

“I certainly hope so,” exclaims an excited Anastasia. “We’d love to have her play with us! She’s an immense talent and, above all, really digs heavy music with a good grungey vibe. We’ve been trying to get her to hang out with us at The Castle (Tampa’s world-renowned Goth Club in Ybor City) on Friday Nights.” Then she laughs: “We’ll drag her out one night!” Check out the new single “Los Illuminados” (already making a gothic splash in European radio!) and “God of War” at www.myspace.com/rasputinmadmonk.
