RAC_COVER_FINAL

Green Label Sound is proud to announce the release of our next official single, "Hollywood (featuring Penguin Prison)," by Portland-based producer/DJ,  RAC. This dancey pop track is the very first original music from this seasoned remixer and will be available for free download on May 3rd. As usual, we'll also be following it up with a couple of remixes by some of the best DJs around.

Green Label Sound approached Andre Anjos (RAC) about working together and he was ready, “the thing  that really sold me was the reputation, you know, with the other songs they’ve already done. People that I really like have released music on this label, so I’m very proud to be part of that.” He immediately brought in Penguin Prison to work on the track: “It was such an obvious choice… We like the same things, same chords, same sounds.”

Next Thursday, keep your eyes out for upcoming video footage of Andre discussing and producing the track!
