Doug Naugler - Smells Like Teen Spirit

"With the lights out, it's less dangerous"

Time for something a little different. Vancouver-based musician/producer Doug Naugler has created something very special with his free online album of covers. He's taken classic rock songs, stripped them of instrumentation, and rebuilt them using electronic music. The result is really, really cool. I'm a big fan of mixing rock and dance in the first place, but these reproductions have amazed me by just how seamless they are. I had a hard time picking which one to post (you can listen to them all on his soundcloud), but I decided to go with Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. It's obviously a super well-known song, but it's augmented in just the right way to make it (if possible) even more powerful. Nirvana as a dance anthem? Yes, please! If you like this, be sure to download the album and spread the word.
