Behind the scenes with Ben Allen, Bangladesh, Usher, B-52s, et al.

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

With a client roster that includes some of the most reputable studio engineers, producers and musicians in the industry, the Atlanta-based management firm Milk Money Consulting’s monthly updates read like the Billboard 100 chart — six months into the future.

Take a peek at their June update, courtesy Brad McDonald:

Ben H. Allen is currently producing The Whigs’ new album in his (and the group’s) hometown of Athens, GA. After recording and mixing the Whigs, Ben is headed to NYC to work with Animal Collective. If you can’t wait to hear new music from Ben, check out Kate Earl’s recently released EP, Introducing Kate Earl. Ben’s project The Constellations, is currently on tour and getting huge airplay in Atlanta, Minneapolis and additional markets and the song “Felicia” is the #1 most requested song on Atlanta’s 99X.

Mac Attkisson is working with super producer Bangladesh on several high profile projects, including Dr. Dre, Missy Elliott, Leona Lewis, Usher, Ludacris and Juvenile.

Mark Exit Goodchild left Atlanta with Akon to do some recording on the road covering lots of ground in the tour bus! Before he went on tour, Exit was busy mixing, including new music from Akon and T Pain, Sean Kingston, Nina Sky feat. Pit Bull and Flo Rida, Aventura, Twista and David Guetta.

Bangladesh and Muffy at Uptown’s pre-BET party

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Atlanta’s industry-heavy scene meets its left-of-center hip-hop movement Wednesday at Uptown for the pre-BET Awards celebration for nominee, Bangladesh.

The producer put pure alkaline in rapper Lil Wayne’s battery pack this summer with the #1 hit “A Milli.” It’s only part of the reason why we bestowed him with Best local beatmaker honors in CL’s recent 2008 Best of Atlanta issue.

The other reason — his ability to play both sides of the fence and collaborate with emerging, electro-pop tarts like Muffy, who’s scheduled to perform at the party.

The dress code says it all: “Be electric.”

Free. 10 p.m.-3 a.m. Wed., Oct. 15. Uptown Lounge, 201 Courtland St. 404-524-3151. www.uptownrestaurantandlounge.com.
