I thought I would share a lil bit ‘o audible fun I’ve been enjoying this morning. I was seeking some info on the new Imogen Heap album (which by the by I would recommend checking out) and while on said hunt, the good folks over at StereoGum put me onto Troublemaker. Josh Kouzomis hails from the weird n’ wonderful planet known as Los Angeles. Since the late 90’s he’s been carving out a name for himself as a producer, remixer, n’ all round good DJ. He’s collaborated with mash-up master Z-Trip and currently holds a residence at Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas.

Now what I especially like is that he is involved with the H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Everywhere) campaign. H.O.P.E. is a non-profit organization which engages artists in various fields to help raise awareness and funds for international humanitarian causes.

Now I can’t go into too much detail as I’m just getting introduced to what he’s up to musically. From the selection of free tracks he offers on his website I’ve gathered that his tastes are quite broad. The remixes are unique while still remaining true to the original. Here’s a couple to tracks to get you started. Enjoy your Saturday!
