Andrew W.K. has teamed up with DJ B-Roc to collaborate on a special mixtape of original songs from a diverse group of artists, all looking to embrace new sonic landscapes while adhering to the format laid out by traditional hip-hop mixtapes. The Limited Edition CD features more than fifteen original songs, remixes, skits, and drops in one seamless mix. In this modern age, the sound of music is not confined to one genre - the artists on this mixtape make music that represents their different spirits and unique styles. Andrew W.K. and DJ B-Roc split up production duties on the disc, in order to showcase the most diverse range tracks from their respective music collectives, all with the hopes of reaching an audience who intend to party hard! The DAMN! mixtape release will culminate with a live performance from the featured artists at Andrew W.K.'s very own nightlcub and music venue, Santos Party House, in Manhattan, New York City. The mixtape will be distributed as physical copies by a dedicated street team, and virally on the Internet. One of the musical artists, Bad Brilliance, is also contributing his artistic talents to the mixtape cover, posters, and stickers to help promote the release. These are new sounds, and new feelings!
