Alila Hotels and Resorts and Equinox DMD to Release Indonesian Independent Music Compilation through the iTunes Store

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia (PRWeb) February 23, 2007 -- Alila Hotels and Resorts and Equinox Digital Music Distribution will launch their first CD music compilation entitled "Alila Independent Selection Vol. 1" that features 11 tracks by 10 of the most talented independent musicians in Indonesia. The compilation features diverse musical genres like contemporary rock, jazz, blues to lounge music and is available exclusively at Alila Living outlets and online in 22 countries through the iTunes Store.

To celebrate the launching, Alila Ubud will host a live recording performance of Bali's leading Blues guitarist, Made J, on Friday the 23rd of February at 8pm. Half-Balinese, half-English, Made J started playing rock and punk in high school in Australia, but it was not until he heard the legendary 1930s blues singer Robert Johnson that he adopted the old school blues lifestyle while hitchhiking his way around Europe and the United States. His first and only self-titled album was produced in 2005. Made J's performance at Alila Ubud will be recorded and distributed through iTunes as "Made J Live at Alila Ubud."

Alila Ubud General Manager Amanda Pummer said, "I have always known the immense musical talent in Indonesia and have been looking for ways to get them heard around the world. We discovered ten phenomenal, original artists and are thrilled to be working with Equinox DMD and iTunes on this compilation. This isn't your typical hotel lounge music CD - it is racy and colorful and intense, just like the country itself."

"This is a great collaboration as well as a great compilation," explained Mark Hanusz, Co-founder of Equinox DMD in Jakarta. "We are combining Alila's strong brand and reputation with the musicians' brilliant and unique music and our direct access to iTunes. I can't think of a better way to increase exposure for these artists."

Artists and songs included on Alila Independent Selection Vol. 1 are:

Overture - Ape On The Roof
Shine A Light - Parkdrive
I Will Teach You How To Dance - Tompi
Save Me - Made J.
Kesepian Semu - Cherry Bombshell
Memento Mori - Everybody Loves Irene
