'STRANGERS: Back to the Lab' by Mega Ran & Amerigo Gazaway

​Capitalising on everyone having lost their minds for the excellent Season Four of Netflix's Stranger Things, rapper Mega Ran connects with producer Amerigo Gazaway for a fascinating Stranger Things-inspired project bringing The Upside Down from our screens to our speakers with 'STRANGERS: Back to the Lab'.

The thrilling connection between Gazaway and Mega Ran, even on paper, is a brilliant combination with both artists continually thriving upon opportunities to bring two seemingly disparate worlds together - in true Vecna fashion of course.  

Mega Ran's unique take on hip-hop has found itself a home alongside some fascinating collaborations including Joell Ortiz, MURS and Del The Funky Homosapien; but even more engaging than that, when perusing the Phoenix, Arizona, native's vast Bandcamp releases, you can't help but marvel at his penchant for using his music to celebrate all the forms of sport and genre fiction that provides inspiration.  With releases celebrating everything from classic video games to pro wrestling, his heart is endearingly worn on his sleeve.  'STRANGERS: Back to the Lab' isn't even the first Stranger Things tribute bearing Mega Ran's name!  That distinction dates back to 2017 and the release of Season Two which spawned an eight-track release ('STRANGERS') with each track focusing on a different Hawkins character.

And then there's Amerigo Gazaway - a DJ and producer who has cultivated an exceptional reputation through his "dream-come-true" concept releases that unify soul and hip-hop icons from different generations reinventing the notion of a "mash-up" project.  With past releases bringing together the music of Mos Def and Marvin Gaye, Lauryn Hill and Nina Simone, Common and Stevie Wonder, amongst others, the Stranger Things style project in this fashion marks a natural extension to Gazaway's musical ideals, again, very much in line with Mega Ran's.

Set in the 1980s in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, Stranger Things is a show about that explores the town's supernatural events as a group of children attempt to thwart the evil Vecna from gaining control of their world.  'STRANGERS: Back to the Lab' showcases the show's deliciously moody and synth-heavy score providing some brilliant new takes on the show's seminal pieces. 

The tracklist for the release is included below as well as a link where you can download the project via Bandcamp.  Frankly, to say anything further would just ruin the nice little surprises throughout, particularly regarding the samples and music, etc but we will say that we hope you enjoy the release as much as we do.

    Welcome to 4ever in Electric Dreams which is the virtual HQ and home to our burgeoning podcast network spearheaded by our flagship series, Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind (C.E.N.K.).

    Emanating from London, UK, and hosted by Dan Collacott, Tee-J Sutherland and Imran Mirza, this site is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today.  By covering a range of media including film, TV, comics, books and music, early episodes see us delve into the realms of Ghostbusters, Tron 2, pro-wrestling, the Transformers Movie from 1986 and Richard Grieko's 'Teen Agent' (Remember that? Oh, you don't?).

    With C.E.N.K. episodes due on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month, and episodes of our Minicast and 90s State of Mind podcasts, there's lots of reasons to visit us again and again, and to join us in our ongoing celebration of the things we can't leave behind.
