New Site, New Image, New Year, New Sale
| Its taken time since we discontinued our previous site but finally now our revamped site is live online and has taken into consideration comments we received from users about what you wanted to see. We have streamlined it to the bare minimum because many expressed the need to get at the music and the news of new releases as fast and easily as possible. We believe we have done that and if there are any other suggestions we would be glad to hear them. There are going to be new releases early on in the year 2007 and in preparation for these we have reduced the price of some of our titles to as little as $5 when you buy three or more titles. Don't miss out on this sale. Seasonal greetings and a Happy New Year to you all. We greatly appreciate you. |
New Site Coming
| The new MadHead Kitchen site will be online within a month. This will complete our first phase of rebranding the image of the MHK collective. It will help us to get more artists to join us so that we can have more variety and therefore more great music for lovers of World fusion. We shall however keep the lable small so that it remains within manageable limits thus providing a better service. |  |

Buy Downloads on Itunes
This is a reminder that MHK releases are available to buy on itunes as digital downloads and from Virgin Digital and HMV Digital stores.

We have provided direct links below to itunes for two of our best download sellers.
Naked and blue by Kaz Kasozi
Ekiseera mu biseera by Essence Kasozi
Another digital store for quick downloads that stokes MHK releases is Emusic and many other digital stores stock the material but they are too many to mention. Make an enquiry through our contacts page if you have a favourite store you use and we will make sure the music gets stocked there too, indeed it may already be there.
In some stores the release date may be indicated to be later than what we show on our site. This is because the digital release was much later after the official releases of the albums.
