Rusko Remixes Andy Milonakis’ Let Me Twitter Dat
By MorelliComedian Andy Milonakis’ original track Let Me Twitter Dat has been given a professional electronic makeover with the new remix from Rusko. Judging by Rusko’s official Twitter account, the track was whipped up over this last weekend, and was hyped on several occasions through the micro-blogging service.
The track is featured on Rusko’s Myspace, but it looks like the UK dubstep artist is adopting the Twitter platform to inform fans on upcoming tracks. Many artists are using Twitter to keep fans updated, and it’s possible that the greater pace of the platform puts pressure on artists to release songs as soon as they are finished. Besides the obvious Britney Spears, Sonic Youth and Trent Reznor, do you know of any other musicians or bands that use Twitter? Which do you follow? Do they release new songs frequently?
Compare Rusko’s remix to the original after the jump:
I think Rusko was able to make the track much more listenable. Dub beats mix well with other styles, and in this case the crossover is pretty seamless. Maybe Milonakis doesn’t match up as a composer, but it’s no small irony that his lyrics are mostly random and irrelevant things that people can write about and post to Twitter. And while the subject is out there, don’t forget to follow Beatcrave on Twitter.
