Just as we reported, last night’s finale of America’s Best Dance Crew went down and FM’s Girls On the Dance Floor was chosen for a showcase featuring all the finalist crews.
What a huge placement! That combined with the great dance routine made for an epic moment in music history. Congrats FM!
According to a recent tweet, the hot single ‘Girls on the Dance Floor’ by the Far East Movement will be played during the finale of MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew!
That’s huge news and great exposure! You may remember last season, good friends of FM, Quest Crew won ABDC. Great to see such momentum on a national level!

This marks a special edition of Weekly Thursday Freebies as we are presenting what is hoped to be the first of many releases to come in a series uncreatively titled ‘a-Tunes Mix’. In short, the a-Tunes Mixes are going to be digital mixtapes comprised of music released by Asian/Asian-American artists here in the states. These mixes should fit on a standard 80 min CD when burned and/or play on the media player of your choice.
The main purpose of this project is to promote artists you wouldn’t normally hear in mainstream media and increase their exposure because they truly do deserve it. In no way are these mixes meant to undermine or serve as a substitution to actually supporting these artists by buying their music. In fact, it is meant to encourage all of you to find new artists you really enjoy and show your support. That being said, if there any artist(s) or members of their staff who are reading this and object to their inclusion, then please let me know (giftedthought at gmail) and I will respectfully leave you out of future releases.
Now, with all the information and disclaimers out of the way… a-Tunes is proud to present the ‘a-Tunes Mix Vol. 1: Summer Break’. I know the summer season is rapidly winding down, and many of you will find yourselfs back at your fine educational institutions soon (if you haven’t already). However, that doesn’t mean we still can’t appreciate some fun, catchy music. All the songs included on this mix were released in roughly the past yr (given a couple exceptions), and are light and infectious enough to simpley relax and enjoy like it’s summer break all over again.
You can find the tracklist, links to the artists, and link to DL all after the jump!
As another prime example of just how big FM is getting, their hit single ‘Girls on the Dance Floor’ has been included on the new Clinton Sparks & Lil’ Jon mixtape entitled Smashtime Radio vol. 6.
Another great placement for the group!

Music personality Fatman Scoop has released an official remix to FM’s Girls on the Dance Floor. True to his style, its mainly just him shouting over the song, adding a little bit of flair but no drastic changes. I supposed it adds a little energy for the club but more importantly it highlights and adds to the great exposure FM has been getting as of recently.
Listen to it after the break along with links to DL.
The Far East Movement has been holding a dance video competition for their single ‘Girls On The Dance Floor’.
Looks like even the infamous North Korean dictator likes to get down now and then.
The video was actually done by comedian Danny Cho in conjunction with Arowana Films.
The Far East Movement is a group that has managed to create a huge amount of buzz especially in Southern California. I first heard some of their material in 2003 on a concept album called “Movementality” and it’s astonishing to see how big they’ve gotten since then. They’ve managed to get song placements in major films and tv shows all the while constantly touring, fliming, and promoting. “Animal” is their 2nd album so do they fall into a sophomore slump? Check after the jump to find out.
I was going to post about several different stories/events but ChannelAPA beat me to the punch. It’s a great website so make sure you peep the rest of but here are some recent highlighted blog articles.
