(DC, Maryland, Virgina, USA)- It's such a vibrant thing- only dipped in a delight of 4 colors, making up collective The Five One. Known heavily in the DMV as the Alternative/Hip Hop band who collectively made headlines as a Color Coded Quartet (band members Red, Blue, Green, and Gold), they uniquely blend vibes of Pop, Rock, and Hip Hop with plans to release a remix song by various artists every week for the entire year.
It all started as a remix project birthed the second week of January 2009 and has garnered the attention of the Hip Hop and Indie blogosphere ever since- keeping the internet buzzing and constantly on their toes for more. With well mastered remixes and remakes of various notable artists such as Bob Marley, Lykke Li , N*E*R*D, Kenna, Gorillaz, Vampire Weekend, Kanye West, and many more, The Five One continues to keep the music flowing touching anything they get their hands on. The Five One's year long project titled 5109: The Remix Project holds customized songs can be found around the net (search on http://www.hypem.com ) as well as the band’s own blog http://www.deucedayworld.com and host sites http://www.yomesane.com and http://www.gowherehiphop.com.
