Culture Shock (4)

American-based DJ remix service that operated from 1998 to 2011. Culture Shock focussed on mostly on Rock-based remixes, though it did venture out some. It was acquired by Select Mix in June of 2014, and new issues have been ongoing, specifically in the Retro Shock, Mash-Ups, and Rock Shock series. Culture Shock was founded by Aaron Scofield and C.L. McSpadden of Powerhouse Records fame. Excerpted from the dead website, http://cultureshockremix.com/ "Culture Shock was formed out of the need for "mix-friendly" versions of alternative radio songs that we all know and love so much, yet cannot or will not play in a nightclub because they are, by definition, not "danceable" or "mixable." Culture Shock has solved this dilemma. We have, in effect, given these many talented artists another way to promote their songs. Mix show and club DJs are now playing songs by these artists that they probably wouldn't have normally. So, sit back and let us worry about the remixing part-- you folks just go out there and play the songs on your mix shows and in your nightclubs!"
