A3C Festival 2012 Powered By Spreaker.com

Looking at my watch it is about that time of year again. When all walks of life come together to celebrate hip hop music in the heart of the south known as ATL. For the 8th annual A3C Hip Hop Festival  being held at the Masquerade on October 11-13, 2012 they are adding a new element to the fold.

Jumping on the technology transit the A3C will be teaming up with Spreaker online radio to produce a live stream featuring artist interviews and music exclusively at the 2012 A3C Hip Hop Festival.

In an effort to reach to new fans and attendees of the festival, the purpose of the audio stream is to showcase all the great events that the A3C Hip Hop Festival has to offer. The production of the stream will be presented as a live radio format with 5 hours of programming for both Friday, October 12th & Saturday, October 13th. Writers and contributors of the A3C Website will host the Broadcast stream, as well as the A3C Blog site giving the listener up to the minute news and music live from the festival.

The idea was pioneered by Lucien Wall aka DJ Lucky Luciano, one of the contributing writers of the A3C Blog as well as one of the Executive Producers of the live stream for the festival through his company, Tekmatrix Sounds, LLC.

Scheduled air times of the official live stream will be announced on the A3C website prior to the start of the festival. Listeners of the stream will be able to tune in and listen through various outlets including their Smartphone using the Spreaker app available for iPhone, iPad, Ipod Touch as well as Android Devices in addition to the A3C website via a stream player on the A3C website provided by the Spreaker Network.

Bringing Music Back to Life

So we've ALL heard the statement, 'Hip Hop is Dead' thrown around a lot lately.

Artists such as Soulja Boy, and many other auto-tuning bandwagon musicians have had to defend themselves and their music after becoming scapegoats for the apparent battered state of the Hip-Hop sound. But the Urban community aren't the only ones crying "I remember when...!"

Pioneers in Rock 'n' Roll are just as concerned about the future of their beloved genre. So this leads me to ask the following. Are current music lovers just refusing to accept the inevitable evolution of music, or is music as we know just DOOMED??? Read on, form an opinion for yourself, and don't forget to comment!

What will save rock 'n' roll?
By Todd Leopold
CNN

Steven Van Zandt, guitarist to Rock 'n' Roll icon Bruce Springsteen, talks about the end of a golden age: [Rock 'n' roll] is a craft that has to be learned," he tells CNN. "There are things you learn by listening to great records, copying heroes." He believes that he said some things that people were thinking, but haven't said out loud.

But the rumbles are out there. The music business is in a state of flux, with the sales of more profitable CDs continuing to fall even as single downloads climb. "American Idol's" season is coming to an end, with rock purists once again assailing the show's slick pop sensibility. Commercial radio, country, rap and hip-hop -- they all have their critics, many of them wishing a return to the way things used to be....
