OUR COMMITMENT
Philadelphia gave the world American Bandstand and has been the launching pad for hundreds of stars influenced by the Philly sound and its irresistible groove, which on radio stations like WIBG, WDAS, WRTI, WMMR, WXPN—each in their own way—creatively blended Blues, Pop, Soul, Jazz, and Rock, and introduced ground-breaking new artists to their respective audiences. We want to be a part of this artistic legacy and tradition, which many of these and other Philly area radio stations, still continue today, and so we are proud to introduce our new label: ITM RECORDS.

The Messenger, by Ivan Taub, has inspired thousands of readers with its message of love, redemption, and spiritual transformation in an uncaring, orrupt, and harsh postmodern world. Since its appearance in January 2005, Dr. Taub, a professor in the Intellectual Heritage Program at Temple University, has received hundreds of emails praising the controversial travelogue of Jonathan West and Gina Angelo—two passionate, adventurous, young artists—as they burn their way through Europe’s fashionable capitals and seedy backstreets.
