What did I just see?!? I’m not sure, but I know I have to watch it again. This video is crazy! Visually you can’t touch it with a 10-foot pole, and the track(s) are dope. My man Greg “The Dude†does great videos, but this is one side we don’t ever see often. He’s a motion graphics mad man. Not only giving you this graphic controlled chaos, but uses all 3 remixes of Exile’s Population Control (from the AM/FM album) in the video. DJ Sean O. was talking about this video for a while, and I can see why. Greg is pushing that bar higher folks, so keep those ideas pop’n. BIG shout to Samiyam, Dibiase, and Free The Robots on those remixes. Check out other works by Greg “The Dude” on Viemo.
Plug Research
Any video that has Exile showing you how he makes beats, you know I’ve watched it over and over. Hence the reason I’m just now posting it.  I have the Radio album and have played it just as many times if not more than this video.  The whole concept is great and to me sampling is expanding past what is usually done. Go buy Radio and also check out Exile – AM/FM on Plug Research. BIG thanks Exile for making the music.

Exile – So We Can Move
When Exile released Radio, I ran out to get it.  Radio is back and titled AM/FM. Every track is remixed or features a guest vocalist, you can’t go wrong with an Exile project.  Your Summer Song, a remix featuring J. Mitchell, adds to how dope this track is. Music video director Jerome D. takes the track to a visual level that I wasn’t expecting. A nice country side drive in a Chevy Impala with 4 different versions of J. Mitchell, while Exile is wandering through the brush switching stations on his radio, you’ll be hooked watching it again and again. Jerome D. does a great job visually representing a retro radio feel with the color section, screen distortion, and yes a retro radio. Go pick up a copy of Exile Radio – AM/FM on Plug Research and the free BONUS tracks on Dirty Science.
