We are so very proud to introduce you to one of Import Sound & Vision's newest family members.
Robbert J. Bricker. Most people will probably recognize him as the unstoppable, highly controversial, electro-punk, rock star,
The Undeniable.
Besides being an incredible, multi-talented artist, we have discovered that he,
along with his partner in crime, D.Gauss, are fantastic video editors and music video
remixers! Check out their amazing video remixes of
IAMX "Spit It Out"
and West End
Girls " West End Girls."
We
are very happy to announce that our videos have now been added to LADY FOOT LOCKER
stores, not just
Footlocker Stores. LADY FOOT LOCKER
is a
separate store just for women, that will showcase many more of our videos,
and the most exciting part, is that the programming is different from our
regular Footlocker programming, so that increases your video exposure! The LADY FOOT LOCKER show will lean much
heavier on Dance music. One of their many stores, is the very high-profile,
heavily-trafficked Soho store in NYC!
We wanted to do something special this Christmas and promote for the very first time in North America, the last video ("I'm Dreaming of a White
Christmas") that German pop super-group Passion Fruit ever made, before 2 of the 3 women, lost their lives
five years ago in a tragic plane crash, that also took the lives of many
others, including our beloved queen of Eurodance, Melanie Thornton (ex.
La Bouche). They will be missed and will always be remembered. We sadly were not able to get a great copy of the video, despite our many hard efforts, but we have done our very best to try to make it as presentable as possible for you to
enjoy and add to your playlists. This Christmas please join us in a moment of silence to pay tribute to these young, beautiful and talented women.
What
do you get when you mix the dark, haunting beauty of LA's infamous industrial/goth-rock
duo Collide, with the highly polished, European influenced, stylish
arena trance, of
Canada's own DJ Rad? You get an explosion of sound that is both
enchanting, energizing and hypnotic. Meet Collide Vs. DJ
Rad.
Collide enjoyed their first taste of mainstream success, when their
special remix of Front Line Assembly's classic "Predator"
(featuring vocals by kaRIN)
debuted in the
major motion picture, teen horror blockbuster movie, The
Covenant. Their song "Euphoria" was added to its
soundtrack. "Euphoria" also appears in the new campy horror
movie "Evil
Bong" from Tommy Chong (of Cheech
And Chong Fame)
DJ Rad's debut album was the Number 1 selling
album in
Asia
. ISV Entertainment is the first to bring you this world wide
exclusive!

Remembering
September 11
Five years ago, our nation came under attack and we have
not forgotten the heroism of the police officers, firefighters, rescue
personnel, and private citizens who responded selflessly to the call for
help on that devastating day in our history.
It is almost that time of year again when it's back to school, pencils, books, and teachers dirty looks. It is also the height of the reality TV shows like
" American Idol," " America's Got Talent," " So You Think You Can Dance,"
" Making The Band," and many more. People all over the US are competing to prove that they have what it takes to be a star.
Well, if there was ever a perfect theme song for all of those shows, then this would have to be it! Introducing the hot young
Dutch duo of
Bo
And Monica with their smash hit "Gonna Be A Star". The timing is perfect to launch this video in the US because of the very popular trend of shows like the ones I mentioned above.
Check out their new video here!
You can also import
the CD Single from Free Record Shop for less than $8 USD. Shipping
is fast and secure, we've tested it. But quantities are limited so hurry up
before it's gone!

2006 is the time for retro music videos. More than ever before, 2006 is
proving what was old, is new again, as we are seeing quite a huge resurgence
of hot retro musical styles such as Electro, Techno, and old Skool House,
but mixed with hot, contemporary grooves and bigger , stronger beats. Many
musical styles that we thought were long dead, are back and hotter than
ever. Eurodance, EuroTechno, and Aqua-styled Bubblegum Dance with acts like
Banaroo, Machoman, Gunther & The Sunshine Girls, Carlito, and more have
returned with a vengeance. The Dance Music scene is more eclectic than ever
before, and it seems there is a pu-pu platter of many different styles of
dance to sample and sink your teeth into.
Recently 80's covers, remakes and remixes, (many from the original artists
themselves) such as Pakito "Living On Video", Noe "We Belong", Clea "We
Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off", Jaybee feat. Morris "Shattered Dreams",
QED "Love Bites", Dancing DJ's vs. Roxette "Fading Like A Flower", etc...
found themselves being played in many popular stores and clubs across North
America.
In June we have no shortage of these videos and so much more to come. We are
also excited to announce the return of the Hi-NRG queen Nicki French with a
hot, new 2006 version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart", the return of 80's
pop sensation Limahl (Kajagoogoo "Too Shy") with an original song "Tell Me
Why" that will have you up on your feet.
Sylver returns to their trance roots with a fantastic, yet rather unexpected, cover of the ABBA classic "Lay All Your Love On
Me", and DJ Bobo returns with 80's pop goddess Sandra with "Secrets of Love".

The time has come again, you have been warned! June 6, 2006 marks the first time in over
1,000 years when the year, month, and date will be 666, it is also the official release of the remake of the horror classic THE OMEN. There couldn't be a better time than now to release for the first time ever the original video for Mysterious Art- Das Omen. This is personally one of my favorite songs of that genre. It will be perfect for the whole 666/OMEN theme. It is a fantastic upbeat,
Hi-Nrg Dark and Gothic sounding dance track. The vocalist has an uncanny resemblance to Claudia Brucken of Propaganda fame.
Check out this
video... if you dare!!!!!!!!
We also are relaunching the band that Mysterious Art morphed into in the 90's
Magic Affair with "OMEN
III"! Very HOT EuroDance in the tradition of La Bouche and Culture Beat.

We are very
happy to announce that Kristine W's
video for "I'll Be Your Light" is still one of the most requested videos on
MTV/LOGO.
Please check out all 3 of the versions of her video on our site, including a
special, unreleased version of the Tony Moran mix by Div-a-Matic. Kristine
W and Import Sound & Vision- Sheds some light on a very important
subject, children and adults afflicted with Cancer.
In late 05 Kristine W
asked us if we could help her to produce and edit her new video "I'll Be
Your Light" which incidentally was completely funded by Kristine
herself, and of course, we were more than happy to help out such a great
artist with a very important cause which was very personal and dear to her
heart. It turned out to be a bit of a family affair as it featured cameos
from her real life family, her daughter, son, and husband.
Our very own Jim
Patterson has helped to create a beautiful and touching story of the
power of a mother's love for her daughter dying of Cancer, and a special
bond shared between mother and daughter. At the end of the video is a
personal message of hope from Kristine W,
as well as some information where you can donate your time or money. Please
try to do your part to help find a cure for this terrible disease, and help
ease the suffering of those living with Cancer or Leukemia. There is also a
less non-serious, straight forward dance remix version, by our very own Div-a-Matic that is
currently on all your favorite dance floors all over North America, while Jim Patterson's
more serious version is one of the most requested videos on MTV/LOGO.
