JOKER                         Gotta be honest, I’ve been waiting to post about Joker since I first started writing this blog. There is a crew of solo, single-named UK producers that are as relevant today in the dubstep scene as they were when they pioneered the [...]

RAC’s ‘Art of the Remix’                           There are a number of artists who may boast the title of re-inventing the remix. Girl Talk, the former duo TRV$DJAM, and a variety of hip-hop superstars might try to share the title of bringing back the [...]
