I've received a number of messages in recent weeks regarding fellow SoundCloud users having their remixes of Somebody That I Used To Know removed from SoundCloud due to copyright infringement. My personal position is that I don't try to block unofficial remixes posted for online streaming providing they're posted for purely creative reasons and are not exploited commercially (eg: monetized on YouTube).

Under current laws the formal consent of the label and publisher/s is required for any use along these lines however, and as much as I would like to help everyone out to attain this consent, there are simply too many requests relating to remixes of this particular song and too many rights holders involved for me or my reps to assist with Soundcloud keeping them up.

Thanks for your understanding

Patrice Pike burst on to the music scene as the electric front woman for the seminal Austin jam band Sister Seven. She co-founded the band almost immediately upon leaving the high school for the performing and visual arts at Booker T. Washington in Dallas, Texas. Soon after she wrote and sang Sister Seven’s top 10 Billboard hit “Know What You Mean”. Rolling Stone Magazine called her "Tina Turner, Bessie Smith, Janis Joplin, and Robert Plant all rolled up into a tiny but explosive package." She was on the fast track to stardom and then, before it ever fully materialized, it evaporated with the much-publicized Arista shakeup that culminated in the firing of music industry legend Clive Davis. They disbanded in 2000.   Even as the band was flaming out, Pike was already in the process of being re-energized as a songwriter and performer. Her solo material has taken an increasingly narrative turn, while her sound has moved steadily in the direction of R&B and smart Alternative Pop. Over the past decade she has independently released five acclaimed solo records, showcasing her socially astute, literate lyrics alongside her powerful vocals. She has toured relentlessly, both in the U.S. and overseas, building an impressive grassroots fan base. In 2007 she became the youngest member of the Austin/Texas Music Hall of Fame, inducted alongside Lucinda Williams.
She is currently producing arguably the finest release of her career entitled “The Calling”, set for release in June 2013. Pike is filled with gratitude for the challenges that have refined her values, strengthened her humanity, and shaped her way of being in the world. If you listen, you can hear each strand in her lyrics and in her voice.
