Introducing The Five One and Their 51 Remixes(not yet)
I don’t know how I miss this, but I did. From the land of my old stomping grounds, Wale, Tabi Bonney, The Five One is a band out of the DMV(DC, Maryland, Virgina). The Five One consists of 4 members represented by colors: Red, Blue, Green and Gold, and they actually wear their colors so not to be confusing.
“By personifying Colors they are expressing themselves not only with the art they create but as art itself, which represents a lack of emphasis on individual identity, and an emphasis on creating music that strives to speak for everyone.”
In the beginning in 2009, The Five One set out to release a remix/cover every week on Thursday. The project is called 5109: The Remix Album. They have remixed everyone to Lykke Li, White Stripe, Kanye West, Kenna, Bob Marley and more. So far they have 18 remixes which are available for free download. Personally, I am really digging the Vampire Weekend remix entitled District of Colossus. Check out the video below and help yourself to some free music.
