Last week was a whirlwind of music and events. Can you even remember all the acts you saw and the places you went? Instead of straining your already exhausted brain, which is slowly recovering from all the events of CMJ 2009, just sit back and relax. Download this exclusive podcast featuring our friends, Exile, Blu, Pharoahe Monch, J. Rocc, Spinna, Large Professor and more from our special VTech evening last Wednesday, and let the music help you get back into the groove of things. 

Don’t sleep… just listen.

From front to back and side to side, the Blvd on Wednesday, October 21st, was packed. And why wouldn’t it be? VTech and Plug Research were bringing Bilal, Blu, Exile, Shafiq, J. Rocc, Spinna, and more, all to perform for the music hungry crowds at this year’s CMJ. With upbeat energy and soulful singing, the music that night was not to be missed. Be sure to check back later this week on the Sounds of VTech to download the exclusive podcast.

With access to over 11,000 free Internet radio stations worldwide, 3W front-facing tuned stereo speakers, a 10W subwoofer with class D amplifiers, auxiliary cable to play files from digital audio and CD players or any device with a 3.5 mm headset jack, and more, you’re radio never had it so good. An ideal gift for any music lover, you can’t go wrong with the IS9181.

And now VTech wants to know, “Where do you wanna go?” On music.vtechphones.com, we’re launching a new series of exclusive videos and downloads just for you. Putting our WiFi Internet radio into the hands of some of the best music producers around, and letting them loose. From Malaysia to India, from Angola to Mongolia, there are thousands places to go, and with the IS9181, finding new music has never been so easy. Users can search for stations by country, state or genre using the one-touch access button or remote control. Looking for something in particular? Visit our online guide at www.vtechphones.com.

First up in our “Where do you wanna go?” series is music producer, EXILE. Exile also known as Aleksander Manfredi is an American hip hop DJ, producer and occasional rapper. He’s worked with Aloe Blacc as a member of Emanon, Blu, and has guest produced on work with artists including Mobb Deep, Ghostface Killah, Kardinal Offishall and Jurassic 5.

Our friends from MOCHILLA spent the day at Exile’s Los Angeles home where he plugged up the radio and on the fly, proceeded to make a beat from various radio stations he came across while surfing random Internet stations. Watch the magic of the IS9181 unfold.
