In 1997, Matthew Barnett and the Dream Center joined forces with David Hanley to develop a new and exciting vision for music. This vision was to change lives with a positive and relevant voice. Press Play was established from the local community and across the nation, brought together by a common passion for music and to see lives transformed, including their own.<br /><br />As the Dream Center has grown into a major social catalyst for change, Press Play has exploded into a multimedia experience onstage, and off stage has become a collection of creativity. In 1998, Dream Center Studios, a state-of-the-art recording studio and full production media department, was launched. As a functioning outreach of the Dream Center, the studio has completed eight projects for Press Play including live recordings, DVDs, and several full-length albums. Musicians worldwide have come to contribute to this ever-expanding wealth of innovation that has become Press Play.<br /><br />David Hanley, founder of Press Play, devised a dynamic transformation of the historic Angelus Temple, and in 2001, it became the primary platform for this cutting edge, musical group. Entertaining in an auditorium equipped with line-array speakers, 52-foot panoramic screen, LED stage panels, and a sound system, Press Play performs for hundreds of individuals each week from all walks of life. Captivating people with heartfelt songs, Press Play continues to reinvent themselves, serving as a model for culturally relevant musicians worldwide.<br /><br />In 2007, Foursquare International and the Dream Center, Press Play’s incubator, collaborated to launch Dream Records. The vision of this record label is to distribute a positive message worldwide through existing media outlets. Dream Record’s first release will be Press Play’s “Life is Beautiful” available early 2009. http://www.imeem.com/thisispressplay Delta 0 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Press Play http://www.imeem.com/thisispressplay/video/54k4uGCR/coming-soon-music-video/ Tue, 21 Oct 2008 22:24:27 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/thisispressplay/video/54k4uGCR/coming-soon-music-video/"><img width="100" height="75" border="0" src="http://srv0204-01.sjc3.imeem.com/g/v/fd6e1004edf04c8e372cf43022f4f3db_00010.jpg" title="Click to play this video"/></a></div> jVXvJNgn8K Press Play http://www.imeem.com/thisispressplay/music/Szh1WQ9W/press-play-alive/ Tue, 09 Sep 2008 03:25:30 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/thisispressplay/music/Szh1WQ9W/press-play-alive/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> Y8AR7ihN8C Press Play http://www.imeem.com/thisispressplay/music/u40rNY6e/press-play-alive/ Tue, 09 Sep 2008 02:22:39 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/thisispressplay/music/u40rNY6e/press-play-alive/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> YhC59GNq87 Press Play http://www.imeem.com/thisispressplay/music/tKtv_mcT/press-play-life-is-beautiful/ Tue, 09 Sep 2008 02:21:36 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/thisispressplay/music/tKtv_mcT/press-play-life-is-beautiful/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> 7sjEt-rT_4 Press Play finally has an iMeem profile!!!
