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

Who Is Quiz? There are a lot of valid answers to this question, but one thing’s for certain – he’s not who you think he is.

He’s lived from Oregon to Tennessee. He’s Cuban and Puerto Rican. He wears eyeglasses and his arms are covered in tattoos. He listens to Garth Brooks and DMX. He hoops, he raps, and he grew up in a home broken beyond the borders of most people’s imaginations. He proudly credits his daughter as the reason he’s alive, and painfully reflects on his time in prison as the period in which he defined himself. All of this – so much more – and the kids only 24.

Since his days as a youth, when it used to keep him out of trouble, hip-hop is has long been Quiz zilla’s outlet. His ability to express emotion via the pen is impressive, and he possesses deep wells from which to tap. His favorite rappers range from E-40 to Jay-Z & Biggie to Tech 9ine, the latter of whom’s influence can be found in his music. He boasts an aggressive and nimble rap style which he consistently melds with technology-driven, bass heavy beats and complex, high-energy production. While grudgingly embracing a club/pop style of rap, Quiz delivers well thought and precise vocals with a distinct energy that allows him to stand out on beats of various tempos and moods.

“This might sound cliché, but I’m versatile.” ~ Quiz zilla

Cliché as it might sound, it’s also tremendously true. While most decent rappers are comfortable switching to different types of beats or adding elements from other types of music to add a crossover effect, it seems that Quiz zilla’s music sits right in the pocket of eclecticism… he literally cringes when people even attempt to define his sound. The emotional range expressed through his music is expansive; from club-worthy R&B/pop songs like Punk Rock Beezy with his go-to crooner J-Rome, to horror-themed rock-rap tracks like Candyman, Quiz keeps his listeners guessing.

After returning to his birth city of Portland, Oregon as a young adult, Quiz teamed with 5 other emcees to create the super-group known as The Free Agentz. Together, they have performed at some of the biggest venues in the Northwest and opened for hip-hop legends such as 2 Live Crew, Bizzy Bone, Bubba Sparks and Baby Bash. They also managed to release 2 mixtapes, including the latest, Free @ Last, in 2010.

His upcoming project, 2 Che drops summer of 2011 .The project features vocals from J-Rome, M-80, Mic Money and Spitfire (of Free Agentz) while boasting top-notch production and mixing by Terminill of Flatline Studios. This will be Quiz’s 2nd solo project and certainly his most ambitious; his first album named 0831, respectively.

So again, who is Quiz zilla? When finally pinned with this question, the reserved but cocky, slim rapper responded slowly, “I’m a Scorpio… I don’t know… That’s a hard one for me… Do what you want with that!” One thing we do know is that this guy is talented. Now do yourself a favor, open your ears and check out the music.

DJ Tony Garcia has been synonymous with House Music’s spiritual development in Sydney for over two decades. He defines that rare breed of DJ who has the ability to stretch themselves across all the sub-genres of an interconnected world and who can do more than simply dip his toe into the latest recycled trend. He is an artist steeped in the history of electronic music and dedicated to bringing all of that skill and knowledge to every event he plays at.

As a distinguished promoter, he is one half of the amazingly successful Rotarydisco. The established Disco House brand has successfully operated out of Sydney creating a legacy which has hosted the likes of Eli Escobar, Doctor Packer and Tricky Disco to name but a few. Their free-flowing events are a testament to the global reach of their brand and there is nothing like attending a Rotarydisco event on Sydney Harbour. They have a gathered a dedicated and loyal array of supporters who have one thing in common... A healthy knowledge and respect for the traditions of dance music.

As a producer Tony Garcia’s tracks are starting to gain momentum with international selectors and his releases are regularly found in the Top 20 on all platforms. His debut track ‘Rise’ released on the Souluxe label appeared on high rotation globally and has seen Tony Garcia promoted to prominence in the Australian DJ arena.His production work accurately reflects his influences which range from George Benson to Giorgio Moroder and all that sits in between. When weaving his magic at an event, the rare US jams of the 90s sit comfortably alongside releases on modern dance labels and the underground jack he so adores.

He has performed at all of Australia’s premier venues and as interest in his production work increases, so do the requests for him to provide support to international acts such as Erick Morillo, Ron Carrol. Late Nite Tuff Guy, the Cuban Brothers, Pete Herbert and Flight Facilities. His influence is no less obvious as when he showcased his talent at Electric Gardens, Return to Rio and Lost Paradise where he received rave reviews for his expansive groove-laden sets. To watch him play is like watching a lion stalk its prey. Crouched behind the mixer, waiting to unleash a sensory attack with a blur of whirling digits on an unsuspecting dance floor.

Combine these outstanding festival performances with his residencies at Café Del Mar Sydney and Tatlers, it is plain to see that Tony Garcia’s continuous groove development has an appeal that crosses over to all dance music fans. The dance floor bounces with a joy that is unique to his journey when he is at the helm. The funky bass with uplifting vocals and luscious strings are a road map to aspiring DJs into how to deliver a rapturous set. His dancefloor is a world of light and pleasure with the occasional trip to the dark side. Whether it be with Rotary Disco or a solo project Tony Garcia is a master of his environment and that is just the beginning...
