Andrew Duke's album debuts at #1 on Canada's largest campus/community
radio station
Response to Sprung, the latest album from Halifax-based artist Andrew
Duke, has been overwhelmingly positive. Released summer 2002 on
Marseille France's Bip-Hop (bip-hop.com), radio and press in Canada and
around the world are showing plenty of enthusiasm and support. Since
the album's release, Duke has been invited to appear on 8 compilations
(from labels as far away as Norway, Macedonia, and Japan). Remixes,
collaborations, and albums for 2003 are already under discussion.
Radio: The album debuted at #1 on the Electronic/RPM charts at
Toronto's CIUT (the country's largest campus/community station--over 8
million listeners) and CKDU (Halifax). Sprung is also getting play

campus/community radio stations) and internationally (in countries such
as USA, Brazil, UK, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden,
Finland, Norway, Belarus, Yugoslavia, Macedonia, Czech Republic, South
Africa, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia). Duke's last album, Physical
and Mental Health (Folding Cassettes/( )Dial Records, San Francisco),
reached #5 on the Electronic/RPM chart in !earshot (Canada's national
radio chart listing), and Sprung looks set to surpass this.
