very special guest deejay:
FABIAN ALSULTANY (NYC)
GlobeSonic Entertainment is a full-service international music organization heavily involved in the producing of shows, festivals and artist relations. Their most recent production, conceived and produced by founder Fabian Alsultany, is Musica Fresca, a 15-city national tour sponsored by Yahoo!Telemundo and Kurfirst/Blackwell Entertainment and featuring Yerba Buena, Voltio, Akwid and Radio Mundial. Alsultany, who has served as Head of A&R and Festival Production at Chris Blackwells Palm Pictures and Putumayo World Music, the largest international music label in the world, has spent well over a decade as one of the industrys most important figures.

Alsultanys former company, Uprise Productions & Management, spanned the gamut of nations as he worked with prime musicians from varied lands: Morocco, India, America, Europe, South America, and wherever else you'll find a heartbeat or drum. During his tenure at Putumayo he produced shows all over North America and the Far East. His Women of Latin America tour, featuring musicians from Colombia, Chile and Brazil, toured 30 cities, and a festival in Singapore saw the likes of Yossou NDour and Susheela Raman. Ever since handling booking at New York's famed SOB's in the 90s, Alsultany has gone on to produce such important events as Africa Fete 99, a 19-city national tour featuring 50 African musicians, as well as the French-sponsored Vive La World 2001 and 2002s bi-coastal Asian Massive tour.

Today GlobeSonic Entertainments vision has expanded into the organic foods industry, partnering with some of todays most important companies to produce socially and sonically sustainable events all over the world. By fusing international artists with lifestyle companies interested in the new global culture, GlobeSonic events and festivals are some of the most unique in existence. Working alongside companies such as Sambazon Acai, Guayaki Yerba Mate, Dagoba Chocolate, Natures First Law and Yogi Tea, the company is bringing health- and community-responsible business in alignment with the music of the world.http://www.globesonic.com
