The Five One are a group like no other. Their sound is blessed with freedom, inventiveness, and true imagination. The quartet is rooted in Hip Hop but is never bound by conventional ideologies of hip hop or any other genre for that matter. They are like a cross between a pleasing Indie Pop/Rock band and the most innovative Hip Hop group you’ve ever heard.
Here are a few of tracks from their album The Five One – “5109: The Remix Album”. It’s worth checking out!

Here is a track from the recently released Tech N9ne album Sickology 101. The track is called ‘Midwest Choppers 2′ and sees N9ne collaborating with K-Dean & Krayzie Bone. Both N9ne and Krayzie Bone really deliver on this track, and it will definitely please fans of break-neck rap with dark crazy beats.

Here is a Chromeo remix from a while back. I left it off the last Remix Wednesday
One Wednesday of each month will now become Remix Wednesday a new feature to HNS. We’ll be doing a showcase of a few of the remixes we’ve been hearing around the web and also those that have been emailed in by listeners. It’s going to mostly be Dance, Hip-Hop, Electro but everything else is welcome. Hmm.. so what to include this month..
I’ve got so many remixes that I want to cover but I guess I’ll whittle it down to just three or four of the craziest. Number one is something from STEREOBIT. I’ve been meaning to post some of his stuff here for a while now. I’ve got no details on this guy, apart from that from his myspace: MySpace.com/FurtadoJamie

I saved these two for last. I love this remix of Burial’s Archangel by Phaseone. Someone sent this in anonymously to us here at HNS so thank you for that. Phaseone is someone to keep an eye on. He’s from St. Louis and makes some great electronic music with a clear Hip-Hop influence. Look out for his album which is due shortly, although I have been unsuccessful in finding details of a release date, I know it will be called Thanks but No Thanks. Holla
