I’m not too familiar with the work of Salvador Santana but this is a great remix Dan Deacon has pulled out, fuzzy as hell.

Originally, GZA was featured over a remix of the song “Keyboard City” done by The Hood Internet. Now, Dan Deacon took that remix and dissected it into this an awesome blend of Vocoder / electro madness.

So this weekend in dc, apparently as part of a campaign for the KIA Soul, there will be various free shows from Dan Deacon, Ponytail, WALE, and MGMT.  All you have to do is test drive the soul and you get free tickets to MGMT.  It’s not clear on the website if you have to test drive for the other shows (that would seem pretty lame), or if you have to choose which show you wanna see.  Anyways, details below (it’s also in philly next weekend):

Friday: WALE (7:30PM)

Saturday: Dan Deacon, Ponytail (7PM)

Sunday: MGMT (8PM)

MGMT will be performing special shows for the tour, completely free and open to the 16-and-up public. The only way to obtain tickets to either show is by test-driving the Kia Soul at the Kia Collective space in each city Friday through Sunday from noon – 8pm (addresses to each location below).
