D1 Music Inks Distribution Deal with Alliance Entertainment¡¦s Innovative
Distribution Network

D1 Music was founded in July 2002, by producer, songwriter and
musician, Jay Gordon, lead vocalist of the multi-platinum alt/techno-
metal band ORGY. D1 Music is Jay Gordon¡¦s realized vision of a total
resource for up-and-coming, cutting-edge bands, musicians and
songwriters trying to break into the music recording industry. In the 12-
months since D1 Music was founded, Jay has been developing,
recording, producing, and co-producing a wide variety of soon-to-be-
released projects, including Hip-Hop projects from new artists
Anonymous and rapper P.O. Additionally, D1 Music will release the third
ORGY studio CD, tentatively entitled ¡§Punk Statik Paranoia¡¨, in January
2004. All demo¡¦s submitted to D1 Music are also thoroughly reviewed
by D1 Music¡¦s established roster of consulting producers, artist
managers, booking agents, and film production companies who are also
seeking cutting-edge recording artists or songs.

Partnering with a select group of emerging and established independent
labels that share IDN¡¦s commitment to building a quality distribution
operation, IDN focuses its efforts on a targeted group of labels to
maximize results. Serving as the sales and marketing arm of the
affiliated independent labels, IDN promotes, sells and fulfills product to =

all major chains, mass merchants, wholesalers and independent
retailers in addition to the new and emerging retail outlets. The
distribution agreement with Innovative Distribution Network is expected
to put D1 Music on a growth fast track as a leading west coast
independent artist and talent development and recording company.

D1 Music¡¦s business team is headed by father and son team of CEO Jay
Gordon and COO Lou Gordon. Both gentlemen have a combined 45-
years of extensive music industry, recording, production and
management experience. Jay Gordon is recognized as a multi-platinum
producer, engineer and songwriter with bands such as ORGY, LINKIN
PARK, COAL CHAMBER, DANZIG, ADZ, and CRAZY TOWN. Collaborating
with KORN¡¦s Jonathan Davis, Jay Gordon wrote, remixed and co-
produced music, and lent his vocals to songs, for such major motion
pictures as QUEEN OF THE DAMNED, ZOOLANDER, I STILL KNOW WHAT
YOU DID LAST SUMMER, and SCREAM 3. Lou Gordon¡¦s managerial
skills were honed under the wing of David Kapralik, former manager of
SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE, and then as the manager in his own right
of TOWER OF POWER and BUDDY MILES.

According to Jay, ¡§The music industry, as we know it, has been
changing exponentially year-after-year to the determent of the artist
and music. Fewer labels are willing to invest in artist development and
the ever-shrinking channels of marketing and distribution, compared to
the number of great artists and bands that are trying to get their
product into the marketplace, has made exposing great music to the
masses harder than ever before. Thanks to the alliance between IDN
and D1 Music, the day of the independent recording company, who is
concerned about the long-term needs of the artist, music and music fan,
has never been better than now.¡¨

Innovative Distribution Network President David Fritz said, ¡§We are
thrilled to work with D1 Music and facilitate their outreach to the
devoted music fan. We look forward to working with ORGY, Jay and Lou
Gordon, as well as all the outstanding artists signed to D1 Music¡¨.

Additionally, Joel Turtle Esq. will be in charge of D1 Music¡¦s day-to-day =

business affairs. In his 30-year music industry career, Joel has
established many independent record labels including Beserkeley
Records and Riot Records and was associated with Hugh Hefner's
Playboy Records. D1 Music legal and contractual affairs will be handled
by Rick Joseph Esq., who has handled Jay's personal business affairs
since 1998.
