If you're anything like me and you like to keep on top of all the hip new music coming out these days, then you'll be familiar with Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre du printemps (or The Rite of Spring). Released in 1913, the Rite of Spring quickly became a hit amongst classical music hipsters and composer wankers, and deals with the story of a girl dancing herself to death at a pagan ritual of sorts. However, dancing to death along with Stravinsky's vision of this music is not nearly as easy as dancing in general to Tettix's vision.
Tettix is a self-proclaimed very friendly musician from Atlanta, and what he's done here is simply amazing.
He has taken The Rite of Spring from it's free domain, remixed it, sampled it, and added some awesome beats to it. The story remains the same, but the delivery excels in being epic. Without much else to say than "This is a goddamn remix of a classical composition, listen to it!" I'll leave on the note that this is easily one of my favourite finds on the internet.
