WonderSound latest riddim project “Tip Pon Toe” has leaked to the internet.

“I don’t want to make a record,” says Amanda Warner, a.k.a. the latest, hottest, most effervescent minimal-techno electro-pop project to hit Brooklyn. “I want every song to be a number one. I want it to be huge and the best thing I can make.” Warner came to Bushwick last winter by way of Oakland, California–but it was in her hometown of Fargo, North Dakota, that she learned to multitrack at the age of nine. “I’m a mega, mega gear nerd,” she admits. MNDR will release her debut album, a collection of singles produced by Peter Wade, in spring 2010. More info at mndrmndr.com — Lucy Madison
In house producer, Peter Wade was recently tapped as an industry guest for this year’s ASCAP Foundation Paul Cunningham Songwriters Workshop. The workshop features guest speakers giving advice on topics including A&R, songwriting, music publishing, artist management, legal issues, etc.
Peter listened to and critiqued songs, and spoke about the music business from his perspective, writing and producing both mainstream pop music as well as developing homegrown independent artists.
