DJ Brace Scratches Over Iggy Azalea’s ‘Mo Bounce’
DJ Brace‘s Fretless Faders series is all about popular new tracks, so it only makes sense that he’d flip Iggy Azalea‘s “Mo Bounce.” The song, which was produced by the Stereotypes and Far East Movement, is currently no. 1 on DJcity.
Fretless Fridays is a weekly series that features DJ Brace scratching over popular new songs using John Beez’s Fretless Fader.
