]]>FREE MUSIC: TRIM PRODUCER JOHNNY PLUSE ANNOUNCES FREE REMIX ALBUMhttp://www.thisisyouthmass.com/home/2011/12/18/free-music-trim-producer-johnny-pluse-announces-free-remix-a.htmlYouth Mass2011-12-18T13:24:11Z2011-12-18T13:24:11ZJust in time for Christmas, Trim man Johnny Pluse is offering us all a free remix album titled This Will Twist Your Heads... What a man. It's a mashup of remixes from various artists such as Vampire Weekend, Nirvana, The Chemical Brothers, Ian Brown, Blondie and loads more. Download it for free here

Our man Johnny has been on the scene for as long as I remember. He's considered a bit of a legend around these parts and spend more than one minute with him and you'll be pissing yourself laughing. 

Johnny started his label Bulabeats back in 2005 to put out his debut LP 'Funky 5 Years Ago'. He's been mixing it up with the gliteratti ever since (sure didn't fashion designer Marc Jacobs use Pluse's tracks to launch his Winter Collection during New York Fashion Week last year).

His last album 'Lasers, Lasers, We Need More Lasers' even had a guest appearance from Darren and Nev on it.

Also playing is Take The Money And Run who i'm looking forward to checking out (it's their first gig in nine months bejaysus!)
