System of a Down’s Serj Tankian has contributed vocals to a song by Italian DJ Benny Benassi called “Shooting Helicopters”, check it out below.

I know this isn’t the kind of music normally featured here but it’s Serj Tankian of System of a Down so it gets a pass. Not to mention you’ve got bands like The Browning and Exotype flirting with house/techno/whathaveyou (not really my style so I don’t really know how to classify it) in their music. Which is not a bad thing, music is the type of thing that should be experimented with. In this day and age the walls are down, mixing genres is fair game. There’s never a guarantee it’ll be good or the next big thing, but why hate on people for trying to be innovative in an increasingly saturated world of music. I’m not huge on this kind of music but it is enjoyable depending on mood and setting.
