Mr. Bear

It's Austin, so here's what happens - 


A musical guy/gal genius outgrows their hometown, wants to take their music "to the next level".  They look around, think "Nashville, here I come!"  But that city has a much closer association to country/western than our guy/gal genius wants.  They look around a bit more, spot Austin on the map, saddle up the truck and move to town.   It is the Live Music Capital of the Known World.  


Well.  In this case, no.  It was love, I think, that brought Jamie Pearson (a.k.a. Mr. Bear) to Austin.  But not before he cut his teeth, musically speaking, in the UK playing for various punk and ska bands.  Nowadays, he's producing danceable electronic tunes, or mixing down "chill ambient".  Quoting the man:


Musical styles range from ambient, chillout and downbeat to techno, electro, IDM, drum & bass and good old fashioned pop music. Mr. Bear also makes time for ‘Cut & Paste’ remixes, mixing famous and not so famous tunes into one big mashup, which he gives away for free. 


Hey, give a listen to my personal favorite of his remixes:
