The co-founder of Def Jam records and the current head of Columbia records, Rick Rubin, asked Ed Banger if he could remix the new Justice single. Busy P, a massive fan of Rubin's work with the Beastie Boys and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, obviously said yes to this honour. He has remixed Justice's new single 'On N On' - and done a sterling job.

Originally from Johannesberg, South Africa, Jean grew up performing with the Drakensberg Boys Choir School.

As if it wasn't enough that Ameriie changed the spelling of her name to reinvent her image with an annoying double "i," which only works if your last name is Minogue. But, Ameriie is further jumping the shark by naming her new alvym Cymatika . Cymatics is the study of visual sound. Beautiful concept, but not when it sounds like something came out of the crypt. At any rate, let's hope she'll have something to show on this one unlike the previous one. Related articles [...]
