Many people do not have the “luxury” to listen to music all day like we do (which is probably a good thing! lol). We visit a lot of music blogs, browse over music blog aggregators like mog.com, hypem.com and elbo.ws. Looking at the way people communicate through twitter we realized that one of the best ways to share and discover music is to retweet someone else’s twitter message. For those of you who do not use twitter, “retweeting” aka RT is basically repeating someone else’s message as our own but still giving credit to the source.
Our goal is to expose you to the best songs out there, no matter if we discover it, or our music blogger friends do!
This remix by Steve Aoki got a HUGE amount of love on hypem.com for the first week of December. Blogged by Disco Punk, Steve used Kid Cudi’s Pursuit of Happiness and transformed it into a much more techno sounding version adding a standard bassline and synthesize melodies. A great remix for any dj to have.

Soooo Fresssshhhh. First time I listened to Jurassic 5 and loved it right away. The classy lyrics, jazzy background and calm tone makes them stand out of the hip/hop genre. One Sweet Song turned me to it and now its hard to turn away.
