On the heels of releasing his much-acclaimed album Cassette City, DXnext alum Lushlife [click to read] has taken on another project in the form of Leisure Class/Stick Up Kids EP.
Enlisting a wide range of artists to do their own take on five tracks from Cassette City, including Postal Service’s Jimmy Tamborello and Toronto electronic duo MADRID, Leisure Class/Stick Up Kids will act as a remix project that blends Lushlife’s records with experimental sounds not usually heard in Hip Hop.
Lushlife has also opened up one record, “Daylight Into Me,” to aspiring musicians or fans alike for remixing, which would subsequently make the digital release of Leisure Class/Stick Up Kids EP. For more information, as well as how to upload your own remix to “Daylight Into Me,” [click here].
