NEW - OB Ambient Pads by Peter James Friday, September 16, 2016 Today we are excited to announce OB Ambient Pads by Peter James. These sounds are sampled directly from Dave Smith Instrument’s OB 6 analog polyphonic synthesizer and were used frequently on the upcoming Hillsong Worship record Let There Be Light. In this pack you will find all 12 keys, each sampled with two different Big Sky reverb shimmer settings. These files can be used as ambient drones to fill out worship songs, as a transition tool to bridge the gap between songs or as a soundscaping tool for your live performance. We have made this product available in WAV, M4A and MainStage formats. With this product we have also included a Custom Ableton template that has Peter James’ custom designed effects rack for further customization and inspiration. If you are wanting to get that classic analog shimmer sound, this pack is for you!

MultiTracks from White Flag Now Available! Monday, September 12, 2016 White Flag is a new band that is comprised of a group of long-time friends who have a heart for helping people experience God's love and freedom through music. Having had many opportunities to lead worship with a number of bands and artists in the Colorado Springs area including Desperation Band, New Life Worship, Jared Anderson, and WorshipMob, the friends came together and began to write and record their own original music. The result of this collaboration is their brand new self-titled album, White Flag. The band shares, "From the beginning, we knew we wanted this debut album to feel honest and vulnerable. Just as life is an eclectic journey of ups and downs, we want this album to reflect that by not being confined to one "type" of music. With a blend of electronic dance music, reflective instrumental songs, and worship ballads written with the local church in mind - this album will be our best effort to foster the vulnerability that humanity is often so afraid of - but never fails to set us free when we lean into it."
New Single from Lucía Parker - "Right Now" Monday, September 12, 2016 "Right Now" is the brand new single from renowned international worship leader Lucía Parker. Released in both Spanish and English, this new song is the second single from Lucía's upcoming album and it follows up on her powerful anthem of redemption, "Oh the Blood of Jesus," which she released earlier this year. Touching on themes of restoration and healing, "Right Now" gives voice to the desire to see God's Kingdom established on earth and was written in answer to God's call for Lucía to walk in faith and simply write from the heart. “After having translated many covers to Spanish," Lucía shares, "God spoke to my heart that he would give me lyrics and new songs for this time, that I should simply believe Him and start writing. So, I’m walking in obedience and faith."

MultiTracks Available from Beautiful Surrender by Jonathan David & Melissa Helser Friday, September 9, 2016 Jonathan David and Melissa Helser's new album, Beautiful Surrender, is now available to pre-order. This new project, which is set to release on September 30, is the Helser's eighth album and first studio release with Bethel Music. As the title implies, the album focuses on the meaningfulness of a life freely surrendered to Christ. "These original songs weave an intentional tapestry of the core message behind the project: that the further we walk with Jesus, ‘surrender’ becomes a willful response rather than a heavy task. Just as Jesus lived on the earth with no resistance toward God the Father, these tracks personify ‘surrender’ with a confident energy; demonstrating that surrender is not burdensome, but a joyful choice motivated by love. Beautiful Surrender invites worshipers to explore the reality of God’s goodness and respond with fresh passion." Today, we are offering the Original Master MultiTracks for the album's three pre-released tracks, "Find Me," "Catch the Wind," and the title track, "Beautiful Surrender."
