Our Third Remix for the K-os contest. →

With “4,3,2,1” we added the “Autotune” effect made famous by T-pain and used by Kayne on his new album. Giving K-os a mainstream feel. As always the instrumental is completley original. Check it, and vote.

Things are going great.

After loading up our K-is remix of “Uptown Girl” we hit 3rd place pretty quickly. Though the standings don’t really secure a win for you it’s great way of getting exposure to the judges. We took down the file that was below this, because we felt it wasnt completley done yet.

However, it wasn’t until he first experienced the “Clint Eastwood” music video by the Gorillaz on MuchMusic at the age of ten that he seriously considered a future in this field. With the exception of a few stints as...
