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

Since first breaking onto the alt-pop scene in 2007, Owl City has built a global following on the strength of his heart-on-sleeve songwriting and endlessly inventive sound. Along with earning a monumental hit with the diamond-certified “Fireflies”—a 2009 release that reached No. 1 in 26 countries—the Minnesota-bred artist otherwise known as Adam Young has made waves with smash singles like the double-platinum “Good Time” feat. Carly Rae Jepsen and brought his exuberant live set to sold-out shows around the world. With total album sales of over three million and single sales surpassing 20 million globally, Owl City has now delivered the highly anticipated new album Coco Moon: a wildly imaginative body of work revealing his deepened devotion to the strange magic of creativity.

Singer-songwriter from Minneapolis, MN.

Driftwood Bones began in 2012 while its founding members -- Dante De Grazia, Jake Allen, Elly Williams, and Will Krageschmidt-- were still in high school. They wrote and recorded a self-titled EP of lo-fi, piano-driven folk in Dante’s parents’ basement. In the years since then, life has pushed and pulled the band in all kinds of directions. The four original members moved everywhere from Minneapolis to Decorah to Chicago. Lead guitarist Seamus St. Clair and bassist Ben Leonhardi joined the band as Driftwood’s musical vision grew more ambitious. The band’s sound changed, as folk transformed into indie-rock with folk, funk, and modern rock influences. But through it all, the band stayed together. Singer and primary songwriter Will Krageschmidt's wry observations on love, aging, loss and childhood mingle with Elly Williams' sweet, aching harmonies over a thrilling tangle of jazz-inflected keys by Dante De Grazia. Over the deft backbeat of drummer Jake Allen, disparate influences from The Doors to early Vampire Weekend collide in a vibrant and varied sound that reimagines indie-rock as something daring and omnivorous. Watch out for the new Driftwood Bones album, coming summer 2017!
