Dev, CC Liu, Wisdom Quarterly; Gerrick Kennedy, Los Angeles Times

Do we have to go to Disneyland to listen to it? No, Cherry Glazerr, just go corporate.

Wooo, Mickey Deadmau5, yeah! (Hard)

“Let It Go,” the soaring showstopper from “Frozen,” has an unlikely remix coming out soon.

 

The Academy Award-winning smash sung by Idina Menzel got a reworking by Dutch electronic dance music DJ Armin van Buuren.
 

Dconstructed morphs Disney tunes into EDM

His remix is just one of more than a dozen that Walt Disney Records commissioned for “Dconstructed,” a compilation album that placed Disney tunes, including several beloved classics, into the hands of EDM (electronic dance music) stars.
 
Songs have been pulled from older Disney films: “Dumbo,” “The Lion King,” and “Toy Story,” and more recent hits, such as “Monsters University” and “The Incredibles.”

The 14-track set will include contributions from Buuren, Avicii, Kaskade, Mat Zo, and Unkle. More

Living in Tinsel Town has its advantages. Among them is the variety of music concentrated into a smoggy basin girded by a mountain sign, golden coastline, and a smoggy desert expanse mostly covered by asphalt.
 
The intermittent heat makes artists half baked. As previously noted, America is like a box of cereal with its seams split, shaking out on both ends, littering coasts east and west with flakes, fruits, and nuts. Los Angeles has more than its share of nuts. And many of them occupy positions of influence in the music industry.
