France Joli
France Joli
On July 17, 1979, an unknown, 16-year-old French Canadian female vocalist named France Joli performed her new single Come to Me for the first time before a throng of 5,000 on Fire Island at a benefit now infamously known as Beach 79. Joli left the stage a star and became a media darling who appeared in all the popular publications and on all the hot TV shows of the day. Come to Me became a smash hit that sold 3 million copies globally, rose to number one on disco charts around the world, and reached number 15 on Billboard magazine’s pop chart. Befitting this fairytale, Joli portrayed Cinderella in the 1980 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. More than 32 years following that incredible debut, Joli still performs Come to Me and subsequent hits such as Gonna Get Over You, The Heart to Break the Heart, and Feel Like Dancing on the dance music circuit. Predominantly booked in New York City and Miami, she draws a crowd at every performance. Even those of a younger generation—who may not know her by name—realize they’re fans of Come to Me once they hear Joli’s first few bars. Her new single, a dance cover of Leonard Cohen’s iconic ballad Hallelujah, which Joli produced is available on iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon, etc. The song’s music video—which was shot in the High Desert of Southern California near Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park—is coming soon. Remixes have been done courtesy of Julian Marsh. More are to come.

Duneflyer
DUNEFLYER
It all started at the age of 11 when Duneflyer started playing the trumpet. His musical taste evolved over time and at 15 he was more interested in DJing with Technics MKII turntables.
He soon integrated analog Synthesizers and analog sampler keyboards for live acts and simple recordings. At 18 he decided that a career in the aeronautical industry would suit him. Duneflyer focused his energy solely on becoming an airline pilot.
He couldn’t escape his love of creating music. He’s been producing his style of progressive Trance and vocal Trance in his studio at home for the past five years. Starting off with Reason, he changed to Ableton Live. Duneflyer currently uses Ableton Live 8.05 and thoroughly loves it. Nexus, Lennar Sylenth 1, Vanguard, Spectratronics Omnisphere and Trilogy, Oxford, Sonic maximizer and BBE, Waves and Isotope Ozone 4 are plug-ins that regularly feature in his work.

In Sept. 2009, his remix of EricM’s ‘What the Funk’ was released by Aardvark and a deal quickly followed.
Currently, the first single from his new album “Dune Trance” “And There Was Hope” is soaring up the charts.
Xavier Toscano
XAVIER TOSCANO
Xavier Toscano has had a lifelong love of music. An all-around performer, he is an actor and dancer as well. In addition to his own music videos, he has also appeared as a featured and backup dancer for a number of other artists. As an actor, Xavier has recorded national commercials for Nextel, NASCAR, Sony Playstation, and others. In California, he has been featured in ads for Blue Shield, the California Public Utilities Commission, and others as well. Xavier has also been featured in independent films throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
Xavier has been majorly influenced by MTV and the multicultural scene of the SF Bay Area, and his music reflects it. His music can be described as enthusiastic,energetic, dance-urban pop. He blends his love of disco, rap, rock, raggae and R&B music with his Latino background. His major music influences include: Madonna, Prince, Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Kylie Minogue, Timbaland, The Neptunes, and many more.
Inspired to put his love of music into action, Xavier has released two full studio albums, several music videos, and he continues to work with many different artists and collaborators in the San Francisco bay and beyond.
Not content to just stand on the stage and sing, his shows combine his other talents as an actor and dancer to create an act with the flair of theatre and the flash of MTV, all tied together with his energetic pop sound.
Xavier believes that pop music is the soundtrack to our lives. It has the power to carve events in our lives in stone. When you hear a pop song from your past, it has the power to take you back. It brings back memories long faded into sepia back with a colorful pop, allowing the past to be instantly relived. That is why Xavier loves music much. And that is the power he hopes to infuse into his songs.
Sound Apparel (Moscow, Russia)
SOUND APPAREL
When we say Dmitry Bobrowsky it might not sound familiar, but if you’re an avid trance listener, and think of trance as the next level of classical music, then you surely have heard of Sound Apparel.
Born in 1973 on August 24th in Moscow, Russia, Dmitry has shown a great interest towards music ever since his childhood days, where he learned to play accordion and mandolin. He wasnt just reproducing melodies but coming up with his own as well! Time went by, and music was becoming an ever important part of him, “I have been listening and loving music my whole life” says Dmitry, who also has a very wide range of tastes going from classical to heavy metal.
In 1996 he started learning musical theory, but quickly abandoned it as he couldn’t express his feelings the way he imagined it, it just felt that the technological development at that time was still very low. It wasnt until 2008, when he decided to make a comeback and started learning the music synthesis. This time everything was in place! The technological advances were at enough high levels to enabled him to express the emotions, that he always found lacking in every day music.
2010 saw the first releases coming to life with songs “Making End of Heart Tale” and “The Love That Last The Longest Is The Love That Is Never Returned” making instant ripples on the trance scene, proving that the trance music can, and is, the next level of classical music.
We at Pulsar Recordings are thrilled to have discovered Dmitry, which resulted in signing him on the label immediately! It was the kind of talent that we havent dealt with before. His songs tell unique stories, in an uplifting and yet such calming ways, that surely will give rise to your soul.
For the end we can only say that the big future lies ahead for Dmitry and his Sound Apparel project!
