Mind Control's Nervous Nitelife: Addicted
PR reports: Mind Control's Nervous Nitelife: Addicted is set to be released November 22, 2009 on Nervous Records. Here is a little background info:

Discerning dance music fans are often turned off by the term "big room." Yes, while big room is typically associated with more commercial � cheesy � sounds there are also some really interesting things going on. In NYC, for example, Mind Control (AKA Peter Bailey and Richie Santana) are opting to create an entire experience rather than merely drop the hottest bombs on a crowd. Sure, most fans would be happy to hear the biggest tracks, but that's too easy. This skilled team grabs the reins and operates the crowd with extended sets that gradually shift moods and directions. This isn't about "glorious synths" and "peak time bangers." It's about doing something interesting and cool - but for the masses.

Named after their Stereo Productions smash of the same name, Mind Control launched it's residency in late-2006 at world-famous nightclub Pacha New York. The party takes a bit of a unique approach in the club world, letting the two DJs tag-team track-for-track as their set progresses. But don't think that the sets are disjointed - It's almost like, as the name suggests, Bailey and Santana are working from the same brain, or at least the same control center. "It allows us to really work off each other, and work off the crowd as well," Bailey says. "Sometimes Richie will play a song, and it will remind me or inspire me to throw up a track that I didn't even expect to play. It has a nice spontaneity to it, and the crowd really seems to appreciate that." - more on this story

Penance Coming To DVD
MVD reports: IMD Films and MVD Visual are proud to announce the DVD release of Penance on November 17, 2009.

Based on a true character, and from the award winning horror writer/director Jake Kennedy (Days of Darkness), and Will Clevinger (producer of the indie horror hit Automaton Transfusion), PENANCE stars Marieh Delfino (Jeepers Creepers 2) as a stripper who falls into the hands of sadistic surgeon (Graham McTavish) with genital mutilation on his mind.

Previously titled The Devil's Dungeon and filmed in 2008 in Los Angeles, PENANCE is the tale of a young, demure single mother, Amelia (Delfino), who hits upon hard times and decides to take her future into her own hands and becomes a stripper. Everything is going well until Suzy, her stripper friend, is beaten up on a job and recruits Amelia to take her place. Reluctantly, Amelia takes the job, only to find the job isn't everything it seems. Driven to a strange location by a dark and mysterious man (Tony Todd), and confronted by a grizzled hit man (Michael Rooker), Amelia's world is turned upside down, as her captor (the mind bending McTavish), is intent on one thing and one thing only - to purify Amelia and the other women in his incarceration. - more on this story
