Merry Xmas from the Straight Up! Music Team!

What a year it has been...

We know it seems like only a few months for most of you, but for us it was been a project that has taken time to develop and a dream that is still in the works, even though our first official release was only on November 8th through Big Alliance Records, the work started early this year and it has taken a lot of years of dedication and love for music to mold the road we are now driving through.

After all the hard work, seeing everything finally being put in place is just a beautiful feeling and we can't wait for 2010 to bring even more success and of course more HOT RELEASES.

Thanks to all the producers working with us and for all the hot music they have shared and produced for us and thanks to all the DJs and fans supporting our releases by playing and buying them legally from all the digital stores, we hope we can continue counting with your support and love in 2010.

We wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year, may 2010 be a great year for you all!

All the best,

The Straight Up! Music Team
