This is so funny 1940s Glenn miller in the mood with trap music remix, so funny its a genre called electro-swing apparently.

Can't find much at all, soundcloud with the odd remix but no official profile I can find on hatrixx. Has he taken stuff down or something?

I'd trust Hattrixx in terms of being able to provide authentic and musically exciting music in that vein, for sure.
Although i don't know about the exclusive album model...at least if the idea is to go down the DJ Ham route. I mean i understand it in the context of there being so much free music that charging money and making it exclusive has some sense, but I dunno...
(for anyone who's not aware of that, there's an article on Luna C's site about it..)

Oh the dreaded social network, I got fed up with the trash my so called school class mates were posting, I quit and deleted my account a year ago nearly, worst thing in internet history I reckon! It's ruined community big time.

My theory why music sucks and state of the industry.
Hi there mate, what I'm going to say is probably pure speculation or you may think I have a point or I'm going round the bend. But I had this brainwave while watching a popular over 30thousand views video, he was criticising and hating on a popular female singer, I won't mention her name (you'll see why), that hit headlines because a horrible thing happened to her fans which was a terrorist attack. Saying she's shit crap cheesy, spoilt kid, you know who I'm taking about! the older generation or people over 25 seem to do this on social media and they are saying the same things, saying how crap they are and why are they popular with younger generation. It's because of negative promotion, negativety spreads faster than positive promotion, it's still a promotion . Good or bad publicity is still publicity, Why you think the mainstream news is so bad, it's to keep people talking and getting politicians names out there. Still gives them energy = power. If everyone quit TVs no one would really know about them much.
If you don't like them, don't mention them, all you doing is promoting her, some teeny who hasn't heard of her is going to think why you hate her so much and then he or she is going to check her out and dumb enough to end up liking her. Weird how things work these days but record companies know this and make it cheesy as possible so older generation complain and end up accidentally promoting her. Fucked up world.
The way music works is a reaction to last generation, when we are young we are more easy to manipulate and more complying to current trends, I grew up on electronic music so I ended up liking that, if I heard rock music first I would of been a rock fan and around 13years when your ears are at the peak of liking music, at that time in 1992 when I was that age I loved rave music which was just electronic music on speed or ecstasy, it was amazing and ecstatic to us, it was a cool thing as we thought but the older generation hated it so they complained about it and caused negative promotion and hit newspapers and media then younger generation checked it out and ended up loving it. By 1995 the hype of rave lost its steam, energy any appeal, music in general had lost innovation, so they started making silly pop records that hit the late nineties, this became Cheese, now we are older generation we hate it, keeps us talking and mentioning negative promotion again, we mention names which is a mistake we make, so the vulnerable teenagers love it because they don't know any better. Kids don't care if it sounds good or not, they just go with current trends and what's hip or rebellious to older generation . When the younger generation become past 25 or 30 or become older generation what are they going hate, what they hate we set the next trend for new generation.
When I make music I try to be retro cool as possible but only appeals to oldskool heads, it doesn't appeal to young because the new cool at the moment is cheese in commercial music industry. I sent demos to radio stations and had no success, why is probably because I'm not cheesy enough or doesn't fit there corporate structure.
Anyway music on the whole is subjective, it's only a soundwave, I'm probably looking to deep into it. Who really knows what's going on. Notice I didn't mention no names, no promotion really made. That terrorist thought it would ruin her career but it didn't, it just made her more famous.
Feck ain't I got it Sussed! I'm waking fast!
Cheers
Mark.
