MICHAEL HUTCHENCE NEW SINGLE MADE RADIO AND INTERNET HISTORY
ChaosMusic teamed with global independent record company V2 Records

being released in retail stores.
This launch was a world first in downloading a song securely using
liquid Audio to radio stations across Australia simultaneously. Once
downloaded the stations either will burn the song to disc or other
media such as carts and than put on air in a matter of minutes.
