Gilles Peterson plays Nicolay's 'Nautilus' remake on BBC Radio One!

Posted by nicolaymusic on May 18, 2009 at 9:49 PM

Nicolay's take on the Bob James classic makes the rounds
Nicolay's remake of 'Nautilus' by Bob James, posted as the first installment of our new series, Off The Shelf, has garnered serious buzz amongst music fans, DJs and bloggers. To add to this excitement, we have just learned that world-renowned British DJ Gilles Peterson played 'Nautilus' during his most recent BBC Radio 1 show! Big up to Gilles and everyone else that has played, copied, reposted, retweeted and otherwise helped spread the track. Even though today's musical landscape undoubtedly presents many challenges, it is truly a beautiful thing to be able to put our music from our "hands" directly into yours so that it can be heard and enjoyed literally around the world!

Happy Birthday Aimee!

Posted by nicolaymusic on March 14, 2009 at 7:53 AM

There's no better occasion to put a well-deserved spotlight on Aimee Flint - director of operations and "woman-of-a-thousand-and-one-hustles" for Nicolay Music as well as The Foreign Exchange - than her birthday!

Photo by Sedrick Miles and originally uploaded by Nicolay Music.

Aimee Flint is without a doubt one of the hardest working women in music and, along with Phonte and Nicolay, one of the driving forces behind The Foreign Exchange's "Leave It All Behind" campaign and tour(s). She books the shows, drives the van when needed, provides snacks, hot tea and a vast array of cold medicin, sells the merch, arranges the interviews, gets the stage ready, takes pictures and video, makes sure we stick to our schedules, cuts the checks and does countless other things. We truly could not pull it all off without her.

A thousand-and-one thank yous and a very happy birthday, Aimee!

[If you'd like to wish Aimee a happy birthday yourself, you can hit her up on Twitter (@AimeeFlint) or Facebook].

Indie Artists Take Music Technology to the Next Level

Posted by nicolaymusic on February 13, 2009 at 12:06 PM

Nicolay Music's Director of Operations and Woman-of-a-thousand-hustles Aimee Flint was interviewed for rolling out UrbanStyle Weekly about the ways in which independent artists can use internet technology to help further their careers.
It seems like everyday there's a new singing sensation, rap artist or one-of-a-kind producer on the rise. In an over-saturated market where everyone has a MySpace page and is claiming to be the next big thing in music, independent artists and respective management have to stay ahead of the virtual curve to ensure that they're taking advantage of the leveraging opportunities that the internet has to offer.  

With the web providing music-related platforms and social networking sites such as Imeem, MySpace, Facebook, Vimeo, Reverbnation, YouTube, Unsigned, Tryxo, and iLike, artists and managers have their pick of the latest technologies to position themselves directly in front of consumers and fans. With so much variety they may not have to choose just one outlet, but can instead be creative in using the sites in conjunction with each other.
