Insane Ian It's like the house band to the Troma Films version of Gidget or Beach Blanket Bingo. Awesome. Favorite track: It's Alright To Hate Your Fucking Life (Beach Formal Version).

CynCS I didn't think it was possible to improve on this song. I was wrong. The beachy version of this song makes me feel happy about the fact that I sometimes hate my life. Favorite track: It's Alright To Hate Your Fucking Life (Beach Formal Version).

about

"If you told me even a month ago that one of my favorite releases of the summer was going to be a hip hop artist re-recording five of their songs in the style of surf rock, I probably would have looked at you like you had two heads. But now we are here, and beachy keen is one of the most pleasant surprises of the summer. Kudos to Mikal kHill for pulling this project off so well." - Scratched Vinyl

This year the band and I were asked to do the 7th Annual Beach Formal at the Milestone Club. We decided rather than just don new costumes we'd try to take a more literal approach and change our entire sound to be more of a beach bash rockup, recreating new drum and bass tracks and writing new guitar and keyboard arrangements that would fit the theme.

Immediately after we'd finalized the new arrangements, I felt like we should share this with people in a more serious context, so we took the time to track everything out in my studio and the Earth that Was studio before putting the pieces together as a new EP of re-imagined tracks.

Hope you dig it.
