The DJ Re:Generation music project which included five DJ/producers teaming up with classics from other genres to make beautiful fusion babies. One particular pairing included Derek Vincent Smith, a.k.a. Pretty Lights working with country singers Dr. Ralph Stanley and LeAnn Rimes. The baby of the combination is Pretty Lights’ glitch-hop, electronic take on the timeless American classic, “Wayfaring Stranger” The remix uses prominent bluegrass-style guitar strumming, LeAnn Rimes’ chilling vocals, a hip-hop vibe and head-bobbing beat. Pretty Lights has dabbled in country remixes before, making a hugely successful dubstep remix …

With a sleek, almost hip-hop infused style, MiM0SA is back at again. With a new mix putting out some new tracks, MiM0SA has put together a fire mix. The San Francisco based producer includes his remix of the world-famous Jay-Z and Kanye West track, “Niggas in Paris;” the remix uses only clips and samples of the original and still manages to keep the vibe of the original, albeit with a different spin. MiM0SA has been on tour, playing venues around the country.

This remix has been out for a while but my philosophy on stuff like this is simple: If it’s good, it deserves to be reposted and shared as many times as possible. I firmly believe that by posting and recycling things that are little dated helps the artist(s) gain even more exposure by bring their work back to the forefront and allowing even more people to discover it.
The only way to describe this remix of Drive It Like You Stole It by Psymbionic would be to call it epic trippy/psychedelic glitch-hop.

Electronic hip/hop artist RJD2 dropped his new album Inversions of the Colossus yesterday. However, it is not an entirely new album. Here’s why:
The intent behind “Inversions of the Colossus” lies halfway between the classic in-between albums EP, and an instrumental version of “the Colossus”. So there were 7 vocal songs on “the Colossus”, and I knew that releasing instrumentals of these would be smart.

Stylistically I fuse hip-hop production with elements of electro & dubstep, and combine that with the organic timbres and raw feeling of old school soul & funk, to, hopefully channel a number of feelings that pertain to the concept of the EP… …
