Interns Can Make Music Too























I just put out a remix of the track "Feel It" by Three 6 Mafia feat. Sean Kingston, Flo Rida, and Tiesto. The original track actually isn't out yet. This is the only way to hear it and feel it right now. I know a lot of the posts are relating to hip-hop, and this is more of a club banger than anything else, but that's the great thing about DJing. I can DJ a funk, soul, and underground hip-hop show on the radio during the day, and produce and play club tracks that same night.

HERE'S THE LINK

In case you feel like exploring and adding music to your catalog, this track and 3 mashup mixes are all available at my website www.presmusic.com.

Hope y'all dig it. Work it into your sets! I challenge you.

Stay classy lab family,

-Pres

Funk Education







What's up internet! I have some funky blues inspiration for all the aspiring dj's and producers out there. Johnny Guitar Watson is my new favorite artist, and he made straight gold from the beginning to the end of his career. This song definitely earned inclusion on my mixtape!
