About

Musicbizhacks.com is the new blog from Adrian Fusiarski, formally blogger at Buzzsonic.com, editor of Buzzsonic.dj musicbiz directory and and also known to produce music as the 99th Floor Elevators (MySpace).

Musicbizhacks will follow on from where the hyper-erratic Buzzsonic.com blog left off with a focus on the music industry in the 21st century and the technology tools that have open the doors wider for everyone (good and bad).

I’m an ex-pat Englishman (and Derby County fan) now living in Cape Coral close to Southwest Florida’s Gulf Coast. I enjoyed some success in the UK in the mid 90s having had two Top 40 national chart hits as the 99th Floor Elevators for UK Pop Stars judge, Pete Waterman’s PWL Empire.

I also have a history as a fanzine editor (as James Blonde at Time For Action), band manager, rock singer, freelance journalist, record label runner (at pioneering Leeds based indie Rouska Records) and label A&R at Buzzsonic Records.

Two of the 99th Floor Elevators tracks, ‘I’ll Be There’ and ‘Hooked’, have recently re-emerged, re-mixed on English dance indie, Toolbox Recordings and are available on most of the main European download platforms. A collection of the best of the ‘I’ll Be There’ remixes are available via iTunes as downloads and from Amazon.com and CD Baby as a physical CD, courtesy of this websites own digital record label Buzzsonic Records.

Musicbizhacks.com will be blogging daily about online resources for todays indie musician, DJ, band and label.
