Our boy Jeff Sontag has been turning out tunes like a madman as of late, and we're happy to be on the receiving end. First he hit us with his blazing original, "Loose Wiring," before surprising us with a remix of Eminem's "'Till I Collapse." Now, we've got a sick twist on Chris Brown's "Don't Wake Me Up." Grab it quick.
The dude Jeff Sontag out of Los Angeles is one talented motherfucker. He produces, sings and raps hard as we heard on "Loose Wiring." On this not-so-fair Thursday, we've got a little treat that takes us back to '02 when Eminem was just becoming a household name. Jeff takes Em's "'Till I Collapse" and gives it a little bit of funk and glitch. It's pretty dope. Go on and peep. That final build/drop is where it's at.
Jeff Sontag, where the hell did you come from?
The man comes out of Los Angeles, producing and writing big electronic sounds, and singing and spitting over them with his strong, often angst-driven voice. It's good to hear a talent like this. It's rare!
"Loose Wiring" is the defining track. Think the energy of Skrillex mixed with the lyricism of Eminem all tied together with the melodic touch of a seasoned songwriter like John Mayer... That’s Jeff Sontag. "Loose Wiring" starts off heavy, transitions into a hard hip/hop beat, and quickly builds to an arena electro-house anthem. His style has never been heard before and yet rings accessible to any listener upon first play. This is brand new. You are hearing the first breath of "electro singer/songwriter" as a genre.
