"WARRIORS DANCE" - THE PRODIGY'S NEW SINGLE FROM "INVADERS MUST DIE" ALBUM
“The Prodigy’s fifth studio album sounds just like The Prodigy should. Only leaner, harder, and even faster than before.” Q ****, April 2009“It’s hard to imagine many better records being release this year.” London Lite, 5/5, 16th February 2009.
Back at the top of their game with the release of their 5th album "Invaders Must Die’" (which went straight in at No. 1 and is already one of the best selling album this year), The Prodigy get ready to release the all out monster "Warriors Dance".
One of the many highlights of the album, "Warriors Dance" is old skool Prodigy – a grizzly mix of 91’ hardcore warehouse rave and ecstatic diva vocals only catapulted confidently into the modern age. The perfect reminder that yes, there have been a fair few pretenders attempting to emulate them in recent years, but quite simply … no one does or could ever sound like The Prodigy.

The compilation “El Chiki Chiki and Other Dance Hits” also includes certified dance hits like “Chichiquita”, “If I Had A Hammer”, “So Sexy” plus new tracks like “Apologize (Dance Mix)”, “Watch Out” and hip hop sensation Pitbull’s latest clubjammer “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)”!

SILENT SANCTUARY RELEASES NEW CD "MISTAKEN FOR GRANTED"
Silent Sanctuary has always been known for two things - releasing hit songs (remember “Ikaw Lamang”, “Ingat Ka”, “Kundiman”, and “Rebound”) and being unique for having a violinist and a cellist. Now, not only has the band released a new album that’s sure to contain more hits, they’ve also beefed up their string arrangements with help from Eraserheads' Buddy Zabala.Composed of Sarkie Sarangay on vocals and guitars, Allen Calixto on drums, Chino David on violin, Anjo Inacay on cello, and latest addition Jason Rondero on bass, Silent Sanctuary has released their new CD called “Mistaken For Granted”. Made up of 11 songs, including their first single “Hay Naku”, the very catchy “Pauwi Na Ako” and the heartbreaking “Hiling”, the album is called so because “We’ve grown past "Fuchsiang Pag-Ibig". This album is our way of saying na we’re not all cute love songs,”
Silent Sanctuary are one of the few local acts to have amassed quite a few achievements in a short span of time. They bagged an NU Rock Award as 'In the Raw' awardees (for being the best unsigned band of 2006), contributed songs to "Kami nAPO Muna Ulit" (Tuyo Na'ng Damdamin), "Super Inggo" fantasereye (Ikaw Lamang) and "Sana Maulit Muli" teleseye (Maalala Mo Sana) plus their single “Rebound” was played October 2006 and ended up in no. 16 of NU 107’s 107 best song of the year 2006 surpassing other songs that played later on the play list.
