Nettwerk One (NW1), the publishing arm of Nettwerk Music Group, and Island Records Australia have teamed up for a Writer Retreat in Ubud, Bali from May 30, 2010 – June 10, 2010, with some of the hottest established and up-and-coming artists, writers, and producers from around the globe.

Peter Coquillard of NW 1 says, “Ubud is truly Bali’s pre-eminent center for fine arts, dance and music. When Michael Taylor, Head of Island Records Australia, and I were discussing putting together a exceptional retreat in a truly unique place, we couldn’t think of a more vibrant, creative and inspiring place to conduct it.”

Michael Taylor of Island Records Australia says, “Creating a unique and special environment for artists and writers to work together undoubtedly brings about special songs, and that’s the goal of this Bali writing retreat. With this caliber of song-writing talent and artistry, and with the beautiful surroundings of Ubud, great music and collaborations are bound to come forth.”

Time to pop a bottle or two, as Nettwerk artists collect several nominations for this year's 2010 Juno Awards in St Johns Newfoundland.

The Great Lake Swimmers hit yet another high note with their album Lost Channels, which gets the nod for Best Roots & Traditional Album Of The Year: Group. The nomination is the latest and greatest accolade for an album that has been nominated for the Polaris Music Prize, The Folk Music Awards and two Canadian Indies Awards.

Nettwerk One had a great day as well, with two more of their artists getting some major nominations.  Johnny Reid received 4 Juno nominations:  Juno Fan Choice Award; Album of The Year (Dance with Me); Artist of The Year; Country Album of the Year (Dance with Me). New signing Ryan Stewart was nominated for Songwriter of the Year for Carly Rae Jepsen's "Tug of War" and "Money and Ego". He also received a nomination for Dance Recording of the Year for his song and production of "Shine for you" Carmen and Camille.

Nettwerk One Music (NW1) & Upper Class Recordings (UC) are happy to announce that NW1 will represent the publishing works of the phenomenally talented UC roster of artists in a freshly inked worldwide agreement.

“We are excited to help spread the word about such excellent Upper Class artists as The Russian Futurists and DVAS,” says Mark Jowett of NW1. “Orly (Bohbot) and Gareth (Jones) have super ears and have latched on to and helped develop some very promising artists, and we believe that NW1 can further help in this process.”

Toronto-based Upper Class was created in 2000 and has developed into a full-fledged management firm, record label and publishing house with an international reputation for producing unique and exciting music and artists. “Its roster seems to produce blissed-out electronic pop masterpieces like an assembly line.” (Lostatsea.net)
