Given that Smells Like Teen Spirit is one of the most renowned (and covered) songs in modern rock history, I shouldn’t be too surprised that someone had the bright idea to create a a dubstep-inspired hip-hop remix of the record. A good dubstep-inspired hip-hop remix of the Nirvana classic? Now that would be a shocker. Though, on paper, those disparate ingredients seem about as compatible as orange juice and toothpaste, Will Brennan and beatsmith Dual do the impossible with Smells Like June 11, blending them into a delicious toothpaste/orange juice smoothie. Making its world premiere right here in the Booth, this newly-leaked cut finds the producer deftly extracting Kurt Cobain’s vocals from their original context, switching the original’s fuzzed-out guitars and pounding rhythm section that originally backed Kurt Cobain’s vocals with squelching bass and syncopated kick-snare grooves. On the lyrical tip, Brennan takes the opportunity to introduce new fans to his past work, reprising verses from June 11 and Skateboard Wheels. A “remix” in the fullest sense of the word, this audacious mashup is just the beginning of the dope revamps in store on Will Brennan and Dual’s forthcoming remix project; keep it locked you-know-where for further release details!

Rock purists who double as hip hop fans will probably say that Cobain turned over in his grave when Brennan finished up this record. However, these biased fans would lose sight of the a) creativity, b) true remix incorporation, c) and slightly modified flow that Breenan displays. Personally, this isn't for me. I won't be replaying this record next week, but it intrigues me to keep my ears out for new material in the future.

Will Brennan can't be caged into one genre. My exclamation at 0:14 was: "F*ck yeah!" Check out the rest of his music at WillBrennan.net if, somehow, you're still sleepin on that

Great to hear a mix of two of my favorite verses! Will Brennan and Dual made a dubstep-hiphop hit.

Will Brennan is on that next level, dope record nothing bad I can say about this cat. A very different spin on Nirvana's classic record but you know what I think it works.

Seems like Will Brennan and the Wayward Minds could drop a new hot track daily! I'm sure y'all have a vault somewhere waiting to be heard. I'm new to 'dub step' and a long lover of Nirvana, and Will's talent is always undeniable. Keep it comin'!
