Upfront

groups acquire or merge with others of similar strength toby Emmanuel Legrand, Music & Media editor -in -chief

M&M's coverage of the NAB Radio Show in Seattle last week

offered both good and bad news for European radio professionals. The good news? U.S. broadcasters are opening up to
the European radio market. The bad news? Ditto.
As our programming editor Mike McGeever pointed out inhis column last week, much of U.S. radio's interest in Europe

comes down to one word-consolidation. It's a word which
epitomises the recent developments in the U.S. radio industry and it's already starting to have some effects in Europe.
Ever since U.S. regulator the FCC relaxed its TV andcreate "mega -groups" owning 500 -plus stations and posting
multi -billion revenues (underlining that, in the week prier to
the NAB Show Clear Channel bought Jacor, creating the second largest radio group in the States, with 625 stations).
And when those groups have bought everything available
in the States, what will they do? They'll turn elsewhere-andit could well be towards Europe, where some countries
already have ownership rules which allow non -European
Union investors to acquire media outlets.
So, how will European radio groups shape up when real
giants like Clear Channel/Jacor move in? Size does matterand Europe's still -young radio industry lacks the heavy play-ers which the U.S. has nurtured during the past two years.

Club music has become more commercial, whereas commercial music

used to be. Therefore most execu-

Knucklheadz, seal the deal.

BEGINNING TO SEE THE LITE

Going for an uncontroversial trancy, tech/house feel,
Bekkou's Hi Lite-DJ Misjah Remix (X Trax/Netherands)

gives the initial impression that not much is going on.
Further inspection, however, reveals a tough, hypnotic, lowkey tune shot through with percussion and cinematic voices. Minimal, uncompromising and somehow rather fresh.

Go and Drop Dead Gorgeous-and, if somemedia commentators don't approve, guitarist
Johnny Male and singer Saffron say they couldn't care less.
"People are wary that anyone could possibly
want to be in a pop band," says Male. "The 'cutting -edge' journalists, we understand their pre-about. They did 68 gigs back-to-back in
America, and their credibility comes throughseeing them live."
During their absence, Saffron has
remained highly visible with a role in a TV ad
campaign for Diet Pepsi. "I said no originally,"
she reveals, "but they looked at me as a rolemodel for young women, and it kept the profile of the band up while we were away."
Republica's whirlwind success abroad andat home, say the band, made them hungry to
produce another record. "At the end of the lasttensions and we let them get on with it. We
unashamedly want to be in the Top 10. They

Mad have the credibility, theraps and the style to claim
their own turf on the hip hop

scene. The Hamburg band
come from the same scene as

local rap mega -sellers Fettes Brot, whose album
lasst grussen (Alternation/Intercord) entered theGerman charts at number 9 last week. Compared toFettes Brot, Absolute Beginners are more "street"-and their music's something else altogether. By
avoiding current East and West Coast U.S. styles
and by being more sparse and electronic than their
French peers, they manage to sound unique. Co -produced by the band and Matthias Arfmann-aveteran of the German avantgarde rock scene with

Die Kastrierten Philosophen-Bambule is a neatpiece of break -beat driven music with pop appeal.

To reach the movers and shakers on the German

manufacturer's brisk slogan,
Van Dyk showcases his subtle touch as the human faceof techno on this three -CD

set of recent remixes. Hailed as the missing link
between house and techno, Van Dyk is immensely
popular as a DJ in the U.K., Italy and the U.S.,
where he's just signed to Mute Records. This U.K.
set on dance indie Deviant collects his work overthe past eight years for established international
artists such as BT, New Order, Dina Carroll andInspiral Carpets. It's a bit of an eye-opener to see
so many classic dance floor fillers carrying Van
Dyk's signature... Like fellow German producers
such as Mousse T. or Thomas Fehlmann (The Orb),
his contribution to the global 'pop village' is often
overlooked. Deviant is currently working a radio

After first coming to attention back in 1991
as the featured vocalist on Quartz' It's Too Late, Dina Carroll really madeher mark as one of Britain's up-and-coming R&B divas with her 1993 debut
album So Close. Some five years later, this soulful ballad is the lead single
from her brand-new, self -titled, third album, which should confirm her stellar
status. With Rhett Lawrence-who, amongst other recent hits, helmed Eternal's collaboration with BeBe Winans, I Wanna Be The Only One-at thecontrols, success is virtually guaranteed. At English dance station Galaxy
102/Manchester, head of music Chris Buckley calls One Two Three: "Quite agood song, which is easy to programme for us-it's been around for quite
some time already. It's got the kind of melody that works its way into yourbrain for keeps, like the Honeyz' Finally Found did-although I do think the
Honeyz track just edges it out." Buckley also notes that "There are several
excellent cuts on the album, and I expect that at least some of those will
end up being released as singles. I think that we'll be playing a lot more ofDina Carroll in the foreseeable future."

in, week out? "That's one of
the fun challenges of man-aging the show. But seriously, you can't keep 80
stations absolutely happy

all the time. What we haveto do is present them witha product which is distinct
enough [from other chart programmes] and achieves strongaudience figures."Critchlow notes: "If I was to take on board absolutely
everything that the stations requested, as far as the editorial content of the show, and applied it to the show, it would

be quite bland. There will be times when you might beencroaching on a stations' format [for example, playing
charting dance tracks on a CHR station], but that's part of
the fact that this is a big event on a Sunday afternoon. It'sa time-if you are going to break a few rules-when you
The producer/programmer says that artists and theirrecord companies now view the Pepsi Chart Show as amust if they want to break a track. "Artists and their representatives are becoming much more aware that, on a
Sunday afternoon, they have a chance to do a live phonein on the show, or make an appearance in the studio.
This really helps highlight a track, making it a specialpart of the programme. It's also a perfect environment forworld exclusives, which we have done."Interviewed by Mike McGeever

Playlist Additions:This newly -recorded track is a teaser from the U.K.

band's new Best Of M People album. It's a warm,
soothing, ballad, which, unsurprisingly, suits Heather
Small's voice perfectly. The combination of those dis-tinctive vocals and some well -written material has
been the real strength of M People in the past, and it's
something which has made the band radio favourites
with a broad range of stations across the continent. In
Germany Carsten Hoyer, head of music at AC network
Radio NRW/Oberhausen, which covers the area ofNorth Rhine-Westphalia, says the band's track record
was a key consideration when the station decided to

add the track. "In general," he notes, "M People's
material has worked quite well for us in the past andthis one is really no exception. It's a very good song,which also happens to be very appropriate for thistime of year, and Heather Small's intense voice reallyputs the icing on the cake." Hoyer concludes: "As it's
still

(about six times aweek) but we arealso featuring it indrivetime program-ming-we are confident that it willgrow into something substantial."

"The observatory willbe, first and foremost, a tool at the service of the European Commission, Parliament and EU member states."

The EMOB will function withpartners such as the International

data suppliers and a network of correspondents and researchers such as
Dave Laing, visiting scholar from the

The EMOB, he adds, will also monitor "major issues in areas crucial to thedevelopment of musical activity," suchas the strengthening of intellectual

on cultural goods.

Apart from regular reports, the
