Congratulations Carlton & Marco!

You may recall back in June of 2009, netBloc Vol. 22: Life On Ceres featured two versions of the track “Life On Ceres” by WM Recording’s own Marco Kalnenek. Then later we featured “Never Be Another Day” by Pearl Taylor’s Grandbaby, a project by Carlton Mackay, on netBloc Vol. 25: From Darkness Cometh The Light. “Never Be Another Day” featured Carlton’s incredibly touching lyrics sung with Marco’s “Life On Ceres” as a perfect musical bed. Well Carlton’s just announced that “Never Be Another Day” will be featured on an upcoming Mercedes-Benz Mixed Tape! Great news! Congratulations guys!

Read Carlton’s announcement.
