You almost never get to read or hear an interview with Skrillex because he simply doesn't do them very often anymore. So getting to hear Skrillex talk for close to 45 minutes is a must-listen for any self-respecting Sonny fans. So check out this clip from the IMS Engage conference in L.A that occurred last month:
Gregori Klosman & Tony Romera - Bad Guy (Original Mix) (Preview)
Someone put up the full track on Youtube after it was played on R3HAB's radio show:
At a time when many producers are chasing trends and creating similar sounding tracks, somehow Gregori Klosman and Tony Romera managed to create a fresh sounding drop that I predict will get festival goers jumping up and down all summer long. Official release for Bad Guy is May 20th.
Anjunabeats has just released an official statement on Facebook regarding Will.i.am's use of Rebound by Mat Zo & Arty for Let's go (Feat. Chris Brown):
"Anjunabeats has today issued a short statement regarding the infringement of copyright on the Will.i.am track "Let's Go featuring Chris Brown". Here it is in full:
Anjunabeats is the record label behind Arty and Mat Zo and owns the master recording rights to their collaboration "Rebound." Mat Zo and Arty have been important members of the Anjunabeats family for a number of years and "Rebound" was one of the label's most popular releases in 2011.
As has been widely reported, a large section of "Rebound" was sampled on Will.i.am's track "Let's Go featuring Chris Brown" and this took place without the permission of Anjunabeats or Arty & Mat Zo.
Although Arty (but not Mat Zo) was credited in the sleeve notes, this is not the same as obtaining permission. To present someone else's work as your own, you need to seek permission, agree terms and file paperwork, which has not happened in this case.
We've remained silent on this issue until now but as a record label it is our obligation to protect our artists' interests and we felt it was necessary to respond to some of the inaccuracies that have been reported following Will.i.am's recent comments to Associated Press."
I wonder whether Will.i.am responds or will this statement by Anjunabeats signal the need to resolve this issue behind closed doors. I suspect the latter.
