       *Santa Monica-based Hidden Beach Recordings, home to such talent as Jill Scott, and Kindred The Family Soul, has announced the launch of Hidden Beach International (HBI). 

       The primary mission of HBI is to hip the U.S. to an eclectic array of international artists who are breaking new ground and challenging the industry status quo. Artists on HBI will be able to create a body of work for a label that uses its independence to venture into non-traditional marketing and creative arenas frequently overlooked by conventional music imprints.           

       HBI’s first release will be “Jukebox – The Album,” from the internationally-renowned Bent Fabric. The disc, available for purchase tomorrow (March 14), will feature 11 new songs, including Fabric playing his Grammy Award-winning original composition “Alley Cat,” and the added bonus of two new remixes:  “Alley Cat” by Hit & Run and “Jukebox” by legendary DJ and remixer Ralphi Rosario.        

       The album will also incorporate additional enhancements such as the much-seen Cingular/iTunes commercial spot and the animated video “Jukebox.”  Both the “Jukebox” video and the Cingular/iTunes commercial can be accessed via www.bentfabric.us or by visiting www.HiddenBeach.com.

       “Hidden Beach International will continue the legacy started by Hidden Beach Recordings,” says Steve McKeever, President and CEO.  “We feel that we have created a recognizable brand where the consumer knows that if it’s on Hidden Beach, it is good, quality music that may not necessarily fall into the traditional genres of R&B or Pop.  But in the end, that’s what we’re all about.  At Hidden Beach we try to think differently, and we enjoy taking creative risks.  We imagine music outside of the calculated forms that results in signing artists whose musical styles are outside of the expected and is something new.  This is our primary mission.” 

       Hidden Beach Recordings also has among its roster Jeff Bradshaw, Lina and saxophonist Mike Phillips.      

       In the coming weeks, the company will announce the new music slated for release in 2006.
