Back in the studio at Sunshine Recorder

This Friday is another exciting day for Revival Nona and the Northtone Family as we go into the studio to record the next single. We will be tracking and recording the single, as well as filming a music video at the stunning Sunshine Recorder Studios in Port Melbourne.

Sunshine Recorder Studios is a world class recording facility, the complex comprises of two creative spaces covering song-writing through to post production. The studio centrepiece is a vintage Calrec UA8000 British recording console, and is considered one of the finest ever built.

We chose Sunshine Recorder Studios because we wanted a studio that would create a warm and vintage sound. Sunshine recorder is the perfect recording space, allowing us to track the new single live with the whole Revival Nona band (Mata Isaia, Frank Johnson, Tyson Constantinou, Kevin Kim & Revival Nona)

We are looking forward to working with Lee Cardan, the owner and studio engineer at Sunshine Recorder Studios, as well as Daniel Marolla from DM Creative Media who will be capturing it all on film. Robert John Sedky and Jimi Lundy will be working together to produce the track and Marcel Yammouni will be mixing it for us.

The whole team is looking forward to a creative day and we can’t wait to share the finished product with you all… keep an eye out for LEAVING SESSIONS @ SUNSHINE RECORDER.. coming soon..

Smile for the camera

Our launch event this Sunday the 12th of July at The Evelyn Hotel in Fitzroy is all we can talk about at Northtone Records. Make sure you dress to impress because we have our film crew polishing their lenses ready to go. The event will be filmed by Daniel Marolla and his team at DM Creative Media.

Daniel has had a long love affair for the creative arts, being raised by a musical family in North Queensland. He played 5 instruments and was heavily influenced by all fields of multi-media including graphic design, video production and web design. Daniel studied Creative Arts at James Cook University in Townsville before starting his production company, DM Creative Media.

In 2012, Daniel packed up his cameras and moved to Melbourne to pursue his career in the big smoke and to join his brother Brendan at Bounce Recording Studios in Epping. Since then, he has been growing his business providing photography, videography, web design and musician session work in Melbourne. His recent work with Adam Thompson from 90s band, Chocolate Starfish, has taken him all over the country and overseas producing songs and music videos both in schools and in the corporate sector.

Northtone Records have teamed up with DM Creative Media for a few projects including Revival Nona’s photoshoot for her single, as well as her upcoming music video.

Daniel will be at the launch this Sunday to capture the magic, we look forward to seeing you all there to make it a night to remember. Tickets are selling fast so make sure you get yours, pre-sale tickets are still available or grab one at the door.

Here is a video you might recognise, featuring Kevin Kim on drums and made by DM Creative Media.

Wrapping it up with Sean Marchetti

After releasing his EP, The Yarra Street Project, at the beginning of this month, Sean Marchetti will be closing the show for us on July 12th at our launch event.

Singer/songwriter Sean Marchetti describes music as his salvation. It was through necessity he developed the characteristic soul/blues/pop hybrid style that now defines his sound.   Currently one of Melbourne’s most popular live music acts, Marchetti’s enviable career thus far has seen the 29 year-old play shows right across his home state; including numerous AFL functions, and supporting industry stalwarts: Jimmy Barnes, Thirsty Merc, John Stevens, James Reyne, and Missy Higgins on their respective tours.   

  “I was never going to pursue a solo career until my close friend and mentor Gary Pinto sent my demos to (producer) Dave Darling in LA. Within a month Dave flew over and we recorded all my originals at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne. We managed to get some of the world’s best session musicians on board too. It was very surreal to say the least.” – Sean Marchetti

  Marchetti’s debut EP The Yarra Street Project, is a treasure trove of blues-infused production and layered instrumentation. Lyrically, Marchetti is a refreshingly authentic writer displaying his adeptness with words through soul-baring ballads to rhythmic party tracks. With an acoustic heart reminiscent of Jack Johnson or Ed Sheeran; Marchetti’s soulful vocals work in tandem with his guitar.

Here is a track from his EP. Don’t miss his performance this Sunday at the Evelyn Hotel playing at around 10pm.

We are launching!

The launch is only 2 weeks away and we are all starting to get very excited. In the next couple of days we will be launching our website and announcing the opening act for the big launch event at the Evelyn.

Northtone Records is a new Melbourne based record label focused on Pop, Indie-folk, Soul and RnB genres. The name derives from our humble beginnings in the Northern suburbs of Melbourne, founded by a love for creating beautiful music and run in a close-knit family-esque nature.

The launch event is taking place at The Evelyn Hotel, Brunswick St Fitzroy on Sunday July 12th. Doors will open at 8pm with four acts set for the stage including Northtone Record’s signed artist Revival Nona, who will be showcasing her debut single Beautiful Art. Revival Nona will be performing with her full band featuring two drummers; Mata Isaia and Kevin Kim, keys; Frank Johnson & bass player, Tyson Constantinou.

The show has an impressive line up of supporting acts with Melbourne’s emerging artists Sweeps, a jazz /lounge 5 piece who describe themselves as “a badass band from Melbourne, entertaining your ears, eyes and daughters” and Sean Marchetti, a singer/songwriter who expresses his music as “salvation”. It was through necessity he developed the characteristic soul/blues/pop hybrid style that now defines his sound. We will also be announcing the opening act in the coming days, so watch out for that.

Melbourne is one of the best cities in Australia for great live entertainment and this is the perfect show to demonstrate what emerging talent is all about.

Northtone Records looks forward to bringing to Melbourne and Australia beautiful music and events to inspire and enjoy.
