Jaded Inc. just released their remix to Phantogram’s “Fall In Love.” It’s available for streaming and download in the player above. When asked about the remix, Jaded Inc. replied:
Normally we don’t like to remix a song that already has great production,” Jaded Inc. explains. “But we felt we could take this one to a completely different place. We sped it up about 40 bpm and took it to Detroit/Chicago jit land.
People often ask Mayer what he was listening to at the beginning of the ‘Your Easy Lovin’ Ain’t Pleasing Nothing’ video. Well now he’s finally said what it was…Jaded Inc! Take a listen to their new song ‘People Change’ in the video above. The limited edition glow-in-the-dark vinyl will be released this Saturday, 4/19/14, for Record Store Day.
Mayer is extremely excited to introduce his new group JADED INCORPORATED. This is a brand new project with high school friend and long time collaborator, 14KT.
About Jaded Inc.:
Jaded Incorporated is 14KT and Mayer Hawthorne. Two post-futuristic creators who grew up together in Michigan. Born out of their mutual adoration for the Post-Punk and New Wave movements of the early 1980’s, and an obsession with Ghettotech and Booty music that penetrated the airwaves and rave scene in Detroit in the 90’s, Mayer and KT have created a brand new sound they call BEAT WAVE. It’s a modern amalgamation of influences including Ultravox, J Dilla & DJ Assault.
