(SEOUL KR) : As a prelude to their headline performance at the upcoming 2010 Pentaport Rock Festival this weekend (July 24th), Korean rock anthem stalwarts, YB, have revved up their crunching sound and lyrical fury with Seoul’s cutting edge electronica DJ trio, Risque Rhythm Machine, to release one of K-Pop’s most experimental EPs of the year -- YB vs RRM.
According to DFSB Kollective President, Bernie Cho : “Considering YB has toured Europe and America extensively over the years, it didn’t come as a surprise they would want to launch their latest tracks worldwide. What came as a bit of a shocker is that they’ve teamed up with the red hot dance club sensations, Risque Rhythm Machine, to not only remix but also reinvent their smash hits for international audiences." Mashing hard-hitting riffs with funked up breakbeats, ‘YB vs RRM’ is a radical departure from their traditional sonic journeys as two of their songs (‘Stay Alive’, ‘A Flying Butterfly’) are sung in English and one of the extra cuts, a remake entitled, ‘Blood Type’, is actually recorded in Russian.
A tribute to the late Korean-Russian rock legend, Victor Tsoi (1962-1990), ‘Blood Type’ is considered one of Russia’s most influential modern rock classics of the 1980s. Deeply motivated to stay true to Tsoi’s inspirational spirit, YB lead singer, Yoon Do-Hyun, explained his unique choice by noting, “Language is just a tool for communication and in order to reach out to wider audiences around the world, we have produced many of our songs in English. But with ‘Blood Type’ it was different because despite being unfamiliar with the Russian language, out of respect for his pioneering legacy, I wanted to learn the language in order to sing in his original language.”
As part of YB’s expanded efforts to connect direct with their overseas fans, YB will be world premiering their new music videos via their new YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/YBrocks) over the next 2 weeks.
Bound to break boundaries, ‘YB vs RRM’ (complete with a bonus digital booklet) will be available on iTunes Music Stores worldwide on Tuesday, July 21st.

(SEOUL KR) : K-Pop creative agency, DFSB Kollective, has just released details on the upcoming schedule of YG Entertainment’s latest Big Bang solo effort, Taeyang’s ‘Solar’.
On July 2nd, Taeyang will debut his silky smooth new R&B single, ‘I Need a Girl’ on iTunes Music Stores worldwide. By July 15th, he will roll out the international launch of his long awaited, full length album, ‘Solar’, complete with a special edition 15 page digital booklet and ‘I Need a Girl’ music video featuring Big Bang heartbreaker, G-Dragon, and 2NE1 starlet, Sandara Park.
Already all across Korea, Taeyang’s ‘Solar’ has totally eclipsed the music industry’s stellar expectations. As soon as it was released on July 1st, the album sold out in every offline music store nationwide in just 1 day and the demand has been so high online, multiple tracks off the album (‘I Need a Girl’, ‘You’re My’, ‘Just a Feeling’, ‘Superstar‘, 니가 잠든 후에 After You Sleep’) have lit up all the major digital music singles charts in Korea as well as caused some local internet music shops’ servers to crash due to the overwhelming number of orders.
With Big Bang’s T.O.P cracking iTunes hip-hop/rap singles charts all around the world in June, look for fellow Big Bang bandmate, Taeyang, to seize the momentum and make his mark on global charts this July.
