New Music: Lunice [ft. Al Ripken Jr.]: "Jane's Addiction" [Stream]

Lunice seems to churn out remixes in his sleep and big beats overnight. Good thing, because 2009 just might be Mr. Fermin Pierre II's time. The 20-year-old Montrealer linked up with Megasoid (Rob "Speakerbruiser" Squire and Hadji "Wolf Parade" Bakara) last year after his very first public gig. He's since been a part of their Turbo Crunk crew, bring his own special blend of bittersweet bass-driven goodness. Whether one calls what Lunice is doing Lazer Bass, Wonky or Street Bass, it's all about what will make folks dance. To be expected, given that he's a competent (and formerly competitive) breakdancer with his own particular style. "Janes Addiction" finds him in a more glitchy mood alongside Baltimore's Al Ripken, Jr.
