Weird Tapes ←♥

Weird Tapes the side project from one of the Hail Social dudes is as fantastic as his name implies, an artist with the absolute right to drown the Blogosphere in bound-to-become-worshiped bootleg remixes and covers but was able to maintain his quality composure. One search on Hypem & you realize that every single respective Blog already had its 2 cents in on this marvel; I myself was in a coma until now.

Weird Tapes doesn't believe in grow-on music, it's a love affair formula that kicks in from the first listen. Further proof, my heavy-metal fan brother walked into my room last night to snatch some Redbull popsicles and was forced to justify himself after I caught him nodding his head behind my back to Weird Tapes' version of Personal Best, then he said uncomfortably "Okay… This tune is good.", that was a first since his usual comments on what I listen to are "Are you sick? - WTF is this garbage?".

Blending everything from Disco, Lo-Fi, 80s Synthpop, House, Electro, Breakbeat, New Wave, Italo, Ambient, Lounge and 3D Chiptune, this genre has every right to be called Fantasy because I keep listening to Weird Tapes past midnight when everyone is sleeping and think of how safe I'd feel driving with the top down by a nuclear power plant at night with Weird Tapes on, it just takes one's mind into an ulterior dimension where divinity and state of cosmic nirvana are reachable, nostalgia is a master factor & surfacing feelings are the side effects. Weird Tapes erupts my senses and I’m addicted to it like you won’t believe.

Confused on why his stuff are all free for download!? It's exactly the kind of music I wouldn't mind spending lots of $ on but then he probably wants to exhibit his art and make the world a better place!

His latest official remix is done for Britney Spears, I wonder how her people found out about Weird Tapes since 99% of her remixes are done by safe commercial dance names. Weird Tapes unsurprisingly turned this meh song into a better than the original version, an edit of this should have been used as the radio/single version.
