Terry Urban und Gold Coin Clothing haben zusammen das Mixtape “Southerngold” aufgenommen. Terry zum Inhalt:

“Basically, me mixing my favorite Southern rap vocals over remixed samples of my favorite Santigold influenced samples and tracks…”

Allerdings gab es Probleme mit Santigolds Label Downtown, die nicht wollten das Terry Urban das Mixtape veröffentlicht. Auf seinem Blog hat der DJ & Produzent Infos zur Hintergrundgeschichte erläutert:

“Now, my friends on these internets, I ask you this: Why is this happening?

I’m not selling this… I’m not making a dime… I’m encouraging everyone to BUY Santigold’s album… and I’m helping to expand her fan base to new markets… in addition, none of these songs are as they would appear on her actual album… EVERYTHING is remixed and redone… so there is no competition with her actual in-stores album (which is dope…go buy it… two copies!)

Is Downtown Records not aware of the influence deejay culture has made on Santi’s career? All the deejays who have made homemade remixes and re-edits that have gotten play in clubs across the world? It’s not like commercial radio was embracing her music when she dropped. It was the progressive deejay, the same deejays who make remixes and mashups and support avant-garde creative music!”
