New Mashup: Clockwork – Office Musik (Clockwork Edit)
This mashup here is a little different from the stuff Clockwork has done in the past, but its is still good none the less. I know all of you know the theme song from the show “The Office” (the US one), and I’m sure you all know who Weezy is. Now hear what they sound […]
New Remix: Pantera – Cowboys from Hell (LehtMoJoe Remix)
Really digging this latest remix from LehtMoJoe. Fresh off of producing AnonymousCulture‘s The Intervention, he has remixed Pantera’s hard hitting track “Cowboys from Hell” and turned it into an electro gem. Man does this thing bang, the crunchy guitars, courtesy of Dimebag Darrell, just pierce through funky backbeat and Phil Anselmo’s screams give the track […]

New Remix: Snoop Dogg & Kid Cudi – That Tree (The Soundmen Remix)
I always love when a producer/artist can drastically rip apart a song and remix into something completely different. This was the case with NY/Seattle duo The Soundmen and their remix of Snoop Dogg’s track “That Tree.” They took a typical sounding Snoop song and morphed it into a sweet indie electro pop track. Never did […]

Check out the soulful feel good first single, “Right Direction,” […]

It is a delicious piece of pop music that has me going this afternoon, but the coolest thing about this track is the video that accompanies it.
