VIA THC’S BANDCAMP:

Who doesn’t feel like, sometimes, they need to just dissappear? I think we’ve all been threw it. Sometimes things get so crazy you just gotta take a step back from it all, remove yourself from the situation, and get a better perspective on things. For week 7 of RadioHeads we remixed Foster the People’s – Houdini… We’re magical!!! Hollllller

THC – RADIOHEADS RECAP – PART 1

mattyjthc — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 21:47:53 +0000

Week 6 is our first THROWBACK week for RadioHeads. This album will encompass all of our remixed radio tracks, including some from past years. Since we’re re-releasing this old material, we’re giving ya 2 tracks for the price of 1 Monday.

This time we went in on One Republics hit single “Secrets”. The worlds going crazy and everything has become reality TV. There’s no such thing as secrets anymore. We took a billboard track and flipped it on you.

A couple months after we released the track, we got hit up by Sayuri asking if she could use our remix for one of her videos. Check out what she sent us back below!!

Vice City is inspired and sampled from the theme music to HBO’s original series Boardwalk Empire. The track is about our co-dependency on DRUGS, MONEY, & SEX

We recorded the video at your average House of Dreams party on Staten Island, NYC.

OASIS X WONDERWALL

mattyjthc — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 18:03:11 +0000

Last March we visited Austin, Texas for SxSW. We rocked a couple shows for the festival, saw some amazing music, rocked out on the streets of Austin, and spent an amazing week on our friends farmhouse about 30 minutes outside of Austin. During our time there we recorded this live remixed version of Wonderwall by Oasis. Enjoy!!

RADIOHEADS:

As a follow up to our feature length album Everybody, The Higher Concept is announcing the release of a new “indie-rock remix” project entitled RadioHeads. THC has carefully chosen some of the best hits that modern day indie-rock radio has to offer and remixed them to add room for some heady and introspective hip-hop lyrics. RadioHeads will feature both audio and/or video releases off the project every Monday until the full project has been unveiled.

Be sure to check in on our websites every Monday for the next 2 months to hear all the new material from the project!!

PRINCESS IN CHINA x COLDPLAY x RIHANNA REMIX

mattyjthc — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 15:14:43 +0000

What happens to a Princess in China? I have no idea why the original song is called that. I do know that Coldplay and Rihanna show how powerful of a metaphor a star can be and what it’s like when someone’s star gets stolen. In our version of the song, Tekst is going through it, dealing with a break up and that feeling of loss… Hang on to your stars people!!
