Steve Aoki Takes On Hip-Hop



Steve Aoki, the founder of Dim Mak Records, and all-round music industry GC has just released two new remixes by two of hip-hop's rising stars - Kid Cudi - Pursuit Of Happiness, and Drake - Forever. I think he's done a commendable job of retaining the standout aspects of the original tracks and then completely reinventing them for the dance floor. Check it...


Kid Cudi feat. MGMT & Ratatat - The Pursuit Of Happiness (Steve Aoki remix)





Drake - Forever feat. Kanye West, Lil' Wayne & Eminem - Forever (Steve Aoki Remix)



Also, check out the remix Travis Barker whipped up for this track - he's embellished the original with his trademark distorted guitar and ballsy beats squeezing out every little drop of attitude and aggression.

There's no download link for the Kid Cudi track, it seems as though labels are are being extra stingy with this one. It's easy enough to find a low bit-rate mp3 by doing a quick 'google' search though.
