Handpicked by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of their best 25 bands on MySpace, Shannon Hurley found an experimental way to cross genres: Hold a search for the best remixes of songs from her full-length debut "Ready to Wake Up".
After announcing the contest on Acidplanet.com and ccmixter.org, Shannon received over 400 versions of her songs.

"Ready to Wake Up", is available on iTunes and CD Baby.
