friends of friends is a new label started by mmc's pal leeor brown. the concept for fof's first release goes like this:

fof invites an artist to join the fof family by signing on to do a split ep; they in turn invite another musician or group to complete the split release and commission a designer to create the ep’s artwork on a limited edition t-shirt which will include a download card. included will be the release, exclusive remixes and special content.

friends of friends volume 1 features daedelus, who asked jogger to contribute music for the second half of the split and kozyndan to design the project's cover art/t-shirt design.

the bundle, available for purchase at the fof store, features remixes by michna, eliot lipp, nosaj thing, grahm zilla of thunderheist ... and us! we remixed the daedelus track "off to the races" and got our li'l buddy cuzzo to drop some smooth lyrics on it. rcrd lbl debuted the track as a free download today. give it a listen!

daedelus - "off to the races (meanest man contest remix feat. cuzzo)"
