Usher 2013

STREAM: Usher – “U.E.O.N.O.” (Remix)

Rocko’s single “U.E.O.N.O.” has been blowing up the airwaves and now R&B sensation Usher drops his official remix.

UTG thinks this might be the best remix we have heard so far but want you to be the judge. Does it live up to the hype? Watch out for features on this song by 2 Chainz and Future.

This song won’t be landing anywhere so just sit back and enjoy the new tunes.

STREAM: This Old Ghost – “Faster and Faster” (Ansible Remix)

This Old Ghost’s Family Room is an underrated 2013 release that should be a contender on many AOTY top 10 lists. It already is on mine at least. “Faster And Faster” is one of its stand-out tracks and it just got an unexpected remix treatment from Gregory Dunn’s project, Ansible. Dunn originally mixed Family Room, too!

Dunn stripped “Faster and Faster” of its catchy, indie folk rock elements and gave it an ambient/pop makeover. Before listening to the reworked track, I was trying to imagine in my mind how a remix to this would work, and basically, I …

Local Natives Announce World Tour Dates

It seems like it was only yesterday that we heard about Local Natives’ debut 2009 album, Gorilla Manor. Now, four years later, the band is setting out on a world tour in support of their new album, Hummingbird.

The tour is scheduled to begin tomorrow at the Metro Theatre in Australia, and continue until November across multiple countries. In September, the band will be joined by indie-pop up-and-comers, Wild Nothing. The full list of tour dates can be seen below.

A$AP Ferg Streams “Work” Remix Featuring A$AP Rocky, French Montana, ScHoolBoy Q, and Trinidad James

The takeover of hip hop by A$AP Mob inches a bit further ahead this morning with the release of A$AP Ferg’s star-studded remix to “Work.”

Debuting on A$AP Mob’s website via Soundcloud overnight, the official “Work” remix pairs the A$AP heavyweight with new verses from French Montana, A$AP Rocky, ScHoolBoy Q, and young favorite Trinidad James. The final product is a banger overall, but the quality of each appearance is debatable. James’ lack of experience in music is starting to show about as often as he references lyrics from his hit “All Gold Everything.” Likewise, Rocky’s verse takes a decidedly …

REQUIRED LISTENING: The Notorious B.I.G. – “Everyday Struggle” (Dead Battery Remix)

The number of remixes that are submitted to UTG is sometimes ridiculous. Whether it’s unknown rappers trying to cash in on a popular beat with their own poorly-produced freestyle, or a DJ trying to make a classic track their own, people constantly contact us about posting their interpretation of previously successful tracks. For the most part, these messages don’t offer much in the form of quality content, but every now and then something comes through that makes us stop and say “Wow.” This post is about one such track.

Austrian producer, Dead Battery, has released a refreshing new version of …

The Ready Set  2013

The Ready Set Release “Give Me Your Hand (Best Song Ever)” [Ghengis Cuts Remix] Video

The Ready Set are one of the most adored young pop rock acts on the market today. Their high-gloss, generally family friendly tunes about love and partying have infected tweens, teens, and a sizable amount of twenty-somethings with hooks that they simply cannot get out of their heads. Last year, the group found their greatest single song success with “Give Me Your Hand (The Best Song Ever),” and this year they sorta hope to do it again.

We have seen remix videos in the past, but rarely are they shot a DJ remix, let alone released a year after the …

STREAM: Ace Hood Ft. Wiz Khalifa, T.I., Meek Mill, French Montana, 2 Chainz, Future, DJ Khaled & Birdman – “Bugatti” (Remix)

Holy shit. Call the rest of hip hop and tell them to take the day off because Ace Hood just released the remix of the year.

Recruiting essentially every major rapper outside of Kanye and Jay-Z, Ace Hood has assembled the most star-studded remix for “Bugatti” that anyone could have imagined. Wiz Khalifa, T.I., Meek Mill, French Montana, 2 Chainz, Future, DJ Khaled, and Birdman all add verses to the chart-dominating hit, and though the quality of each verse varies the overall result is second-to-none. Personally, I think Meek Mill steals the show, but with this many features there is …
