Coasts: Oceans

Mix it all together and you have Chris Wheeler’s Heritage Orchestra, bucking the orchestral stereotype to create a new type of music for a new type of audience. Click here for more info.
Symphony of Science – A Wave of Reason
Science is cool, ok, so it might be a complete biatch to learn what you need to learn to make it through college, but never lose sight of the fact that….it really is COOL!

Remix Aloe Blacc’s “Tonight Downtown”
Aloe Blacc’s new track, “Tonight Downtown”, is all about partying hard after a hard day’s work. It’s a subject matter we’re all familiar with, no doubt, so why not add your own personal spin on it by creating a remix of the track using the GoMix Facebook app.
You even get to use the original session files, because Mr Blacc is nice like that, interpreting them as you see fit. Dubstep it, make a hardcore gabba version, or turn it into a metalcore epic. The man himself will then review your handiwork and choose his favs to be announced online.
Protect Ya Neck (Busker Version)
Yo! This guy’s literally taking the music to the streets. Take a Wu-Tang Clan classic, an afro, guitar, mic, and some drums put them all together with some fine talent and what do you get? You get a lesson in badassery.
If I saw this guy busking in the street I wouldn’t be able to get my hand high enough for the stratospheric high-ten, no high 20 (I’d use my feet as well), I’d want to give him.
