Rolling Stones classic reworked in a way that Mick would love. Well done!! You can find out more here. 
An eye for an eye! Scott Hardkiss and Q-Burn trade mixes on this fantastic single from the album "Technicolor Dreamer." You can find out more here. 
Q-Burn's Abstract Message has a song called "Chainsaw" which doesn't sound like one. Pleasant mid-tempo balaeric vibes all round. Check out his blog here
