British dubstep group KOAN Sound is releasing their next EP, Funk Blaster, on Skrillex's new label, OWSLA, on November 1st. Their latest track, "Meanwhile, In The Future" has a space-age, electronic synth-groove throughout. KOAN Sound's Jim Bastow explains, "The idea for the track was to make a Seventies funky beat fast forward into the future. Instead of the slap bass carrying all the groove, it's the synths, so a lot of time went into making the basslines as tight and punchy as possible." KOAN Sound's Funk Blaster EP will be released on November 1st, but you can stream "Meanwhile, In The Future" for free here.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
