   Missing Link Music Signs Interscope Reco   
   06 Oct 15 18:29:01   
   
   From: sunofmusic@gmail.com   
      
   Missing Link Music has signed renowned Interscope recording artists Far East   
   Movement to a worldwide administration deal. Dominating the Billboard 200 with   
   two consecutive albums "Free Wired" and "Dirty Bass," Far East Movement have   
   produced massively    
   successful hits such as, "Like a G6," "Dirty Bass," and "Rocketeer."   
      
   The single "Like a G6", featuring singer Dev, hit Number One on both the   
   Billboard Hot 100 Chart and on iTunes in late October 2010, making them the   
   first Asian-American group to earn a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. In   
   addition, their song "Round    
   Round" was featured in the 2006 film "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift,"   
   and its subsequent soundtrack, video game and DVD.   
      
   Since "Round Round", the group has been featured on various network shows   
   including "CSI: Miami", "CSI: NY", "Entourage", "Gossip Girl", and "Finishing   
   the Game" (a featured film at Sundance 2007).   
      
   FEM members Kevin Nishimura (Kev Nish), James Roh (Prohgress), Jae Choung   
   (J-Splif) and LA's radio station Power 106 DJ, Coquia Virman (DJ Virman) say   
   that Far East Movement is a product of late night music and parking lot   
   free-styles at various clubs in    
   Koreatown, L.A.   
      
   "We felt we needed to bring the sound home, so we took almost a month off from   
   touring and went out every night to karaoke rooms and bars and just lived,"   
   recalls Kev Nish.   
      
   The result is a return to their roots and a re-invention. If the best rap is   
   often regional, FEM captures the sonic diversity of one of the biggest melting   
   pots in North America.   
      
   Missing Link is honored and excited to include FEM in its increasingly diverse   
   catalogue of music. ...........................................................
