FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE
Latina Entrepreneur Creates Her Own Opportunities With A New Eco-Friendly Business Venture
June 21st, 2007, Chicago, Ill – Entrepreneur Marta Martines had always dreamed of starting her own company, after losing her job in the beginning of 2007 she turned that moment in her life into an opportunity for herself.
What started out as a way to earn extra cash selling organic t-shirts from a booth several years ago quickly became the foundation of her plan to starting her own business, with her natural concern for the environment Ms. Martines set off to create her new green fashion company.
Introducing Bangledox Eco-Friendly Clothing, a new Latino owned t-shirt company thats helping set the standard for green fashion while incorporating environmentally safe materials in their clothing line.
Organic clothing and green eco friendly fashion have entered mainstream consumer consciousness with a slew of media attention, and for good reason. Its great for the environment and it helps draw attention to a very important topic.
“I originally started with just a few t-shirts selling at local events in my hometown” says Marta, I’m having a great time, and I enjoy what I’m doing..that’s what’s important when starting a venture”
After a humble start at local flea markets in St. Roberts, MO in 2003, the company has recently launched its first online store to the public; the new site is located at www.Bangledox.com.
The site includes helpful tips on saving energy as well as other useful environmental information.
Bangledox is grounded in the concept that the clothing industry and environment can co-exist, all of their clothing is sweat-shop free and produced in U.S.

GearWire interviews DJ Nicci C
Technics 1200s--Chatting With DJ Nicci C
September 06, 2007
Chicago-based DJ Nicci C hosts an online show Nic@Nine on Myspace every Wednesday and Friday nights at 9 p.m. Her focus is Latin music and the aim is to promote up and coming artists as well has have remixes from hot DJs from around the globe.
Nicci C started spinning in much the same way many DJs do--at friends' parties and houses.
"I love music--its huge in my family, and I was looking to make my way," she says. "One thing lead to another and since at the time there were only a couple females doing it , it helped me get gigs. My focus is old skool house music with latin beats."
She is also a proponent of turntables and says it is more than just sound--it is look and vibe.
"Some events want that look--you spinning you know?" says C "Personally I enjoy it-- I LOVE VINYL. As far as drawbacks of vinyl, the beats of both records need to be heard as one so its all in the technique and balance and if you don't master that the end product is going to be...well, not good..it takes skill...perhaps that's why not as many do it today as they did 20 years ago."
She is partial to Technics 1200 turntables.
These are, of course, the turntables (first released in 1972 and intended for the home stereo) that DJs everywhere revere. There have been numerous versions of 1200s including the SL-1200MK2. If you talk to DJs one thing you always hear about these tables is "they don't break."
You can also control the pitch and have a magnetic direct drive. You can scratch like a mother on these.
You can find out the whole history of the 1200 at SL-1200.com. [5].It is a comprehensive history. For more on where to find parts for the turntables go to 1200s.com [6].
When it comes to DJ software you cannot have much of a conversation with Nicci C--She doesn't use any.
"I prefer doing without," she says "To me if it ain't broke don't try to fix it."
Upcoming plans include working on a show for her sister, a fashion designer, and is in talks about having an big event with DJs, poets, designers and others.
