Am working on a techno remix album. Is there a song by you  that I can be authorized to do a dance mix (clean) of? See Live Music Peoria for recent examples of my Str8 Techno Mix tunes for local bands (Tina Sparkle, Freudian Press, Tyson &  the Friction, The Skabs). I'll need a link to a hosted online mp3 or wav file. Thanks. http://livemusicpeoria.org/
