 | We'd like to congratulate Etnies for their 2nd Place finish in Transworld's annual Skate & Create competition. Their "Crap Shoot" entry (featuring old-school jam "Sweet Premium Wine" by KMD, sourced and licensed by us) is a masterful homage to all things mid-90s, right down to the pixilated logos. Based on comments from the skate community - and the fact that Etnies lost by 27 votes - we're declaring victory anyway. Congrats, homies. |
 | We're thrilled and honored to partner with the fine folks at Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a true sporting juggernaut, to source and license aggressive and heavy music for inclusion in visual media that'll be deployed across their many channels, including web, cable TV, DVD, PPV and mobile. Expect great things...and stay tuned. |
