Coupled perfectly [...]

The original version by Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons is the shit already! Check out the funky and rare Pilooski Re-Edit but the Madcon duo manage to do a stellar job revitalizing it and giving it an entire new life. I was first put on to this instant jukebox classic by a good friend [...]

I was just going through my new submissions trying to find something to post and got completely lost in a world full of synths, robot voices, stutter effects, dream pads and very impressive technical productions.
