The Hunted EP by Connie Lim

The Hunted EP by Connie Lim

Just recently, LA-based singer-songwriter Connie Lim released The Hunted EP, a 7-track album.  The tracks are completely remastered and flow incredibly smoothly with Connie’s amazing vocals.  Influenced by artists like Imogen Heap, Zero7, Feist, Morcheeba, Portishead, Natalie Merchant, Nina Simone and Bill Withers, Connie creates a different genre of what she calls “retrotronica”: a blend of old school songwriting and electronic sentiment. You can preview and buy her tracks off of CDBaby for digital download. Her CD release party is set to go down Saturday, July 17 at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood. If you’re in the Los Angeles area and want to check some great local acts, go to her facebook event page to RSVP.

Far East Movement Interview by Complex Magazine

FM Interview with Complex Magazine

Complex Magazine has posted an interview a few days ago with Far East Movement on their website. You can check out both parts 1 and 2 here.

You can read a blurb from their interview as well:

Far East Movement? The name might not ring a bell, but you’ve probably heard their songs before. The California rap trio’s impressive resume includes spins on premier radio stations (L.A.’s Power 106), and music being featured on prominent television shows (CSI: Miami, Entourage ) and Hollywood blockbusters (“Round Round” in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and “Girls On The Dance Floor” in Get Him to the Greek). Originally formed by Kev Nish, Prohgress, and J-Spliff (DJ Virman joined later on) in Koreatown, Los Angeles, the three high school friends started out performing shows to raise money for a local drug rehab center. As time went on, the clique pushed their careers with an impressive DIY approach that earned them two world tours, a string of music videos, and two full-length albums.

It’s always great to see Far East Movement making huge strides in the news. They manage to cover several points in their interview, focusing on their passions, influences, and the hard work that they put in to get where they are at now. They have recently been working hard on their major label debut with many notable artists such as Snoop Dogg, Bruno Mars, and Sean Kingston. Stay tuned for more from FM!
