...Kicks is a series of dance music compilations from Germany, home to some of the most frenetic high-energy dance in the world. In contrast, DJ-Kicks is a much more mellow project, aimed at the less hard-core clubber. Sure, it’s music that you can dance to, but you could also listen perfectly well sitting at your desk doing your math problem set. This time it’s Trüby Trio’s turn to offer their DJ-Kicks mix. The Trüby Trio are a group of three DJs: Rainer Tr?...

Cheng, 29, is the new princess of Cantopop--last year she sold more than a million albums--whose fame has translated into a burgeoning movie career...
...indulge in controlled substances, fight for the right to party, find God; to obey all of those commands you'd have to be superhuman, or at least George W. Bush. Most people aren't willing to follow rock stars' orders anymore, and that might explain the burgeoning popularity of mellow British groups, such as the Beta Band, who demand only quiet appreciation from listeners. Like fellow Brits Radiohead, Coldplay and Travis, the Beta Band write lyrics too vague to impart specific messages, make music too gossamer to get bodies flailing -nodding is the only appropriate response to their work...
