L.A. band is set to release What Did You Think Was Going To Happen? in September. By Jocelyn Vena 2AM Club Photo: MTV News This September, L.A. outfit 2AM Club will release their debut studio album, What Did You Think Was Going To Happen? and for it, the guys hit the studio with a number of top-grade producers including former Talking Heads member Jerry Harrison and hip-hop producer No ID , who they say helped shape one “ridiculous” track for their album. “The beginning of the No ID collaboration is he had a track [and] we did our album with an A&R guy named Peter Edge, who worked with Alicia keys and D’Angelo and has done a bunch of amazing records over the last few years,” 2 AM-er Tyler Cordy explained to MTV News. “And we just heard it one day and it was ridiculous. And it always had been there.” So, after thinking it over, the guys decided to revisit the song for the album. “And we heard it and we kind of went back months later and [were like], ‘What happened to the No ID beat?’ … So we got in the studio and hashed out this song, ‘Make You Mine.’ The track turned out ridiculous.” The guys not only hooked up with the hip-hop producer for the track, they also left sunny California to record the album in very chilly New York City. It was a refreshing change. “We had a bunch of demos written when we were leaving L.A. And then, hooking up with our team, they extended the hand [to come to NYC],” Cordy explained. “We never really lived on the East Coast, and we wrote in Brooklyn and spent a number of cold, cold winter months [there]. It gave the record two different angles.” Bandmate Marc Griffin explained that this album means the world to the group. “We’ve been writing it our whole lives,” he said. “It’s about love and heartbreak and nighttime and leaving home.” Related Artists 2AM Club No ID Kanye West

‘Definitely into remixes,’ frontman Jordan Witzigreuter tells MTV News of wanting to work with the hip-hop stars. By Jocelyn Vena The Ready Set’s Jordan Witzigreuter Photo: MTV News The man behind the Ready Set , Jordan Witzigreuter, released his debut album, I’m Alive, I’m Dreaming, earlier this summer, and while the LP doesn’t have any featured guests, the musician says he’s very much open to collaborating on his blend of pop, funk, techno and hip-hop. “I’d kind of like to collaborate with, honestly, anybody!” the Ready Set recently told MTV News. “I’m thinking to try and collaborate with some hip-hop artists, do something with Drake or Kanye West, whoever’s down to! Definitely into remixes and stuff.” Given today’s musical climate, where artists often drop other musical genres into their own personal song sauces, the Ready Set said the timing is perfect for experimentation. “I feel like nobody wants to buy an album that’s 12 songs [of] the same thing,” he said. For I’m Alive, he ensured he wouldn’t have a homogeneous sound by working with a range of producers, including J. R. Rotem (Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Plies). The result, he explained, are tracks that are fun to play for his fans. “It’s cool. It’s always exciting getting to play new songs,” he said. “It’s cool to see people starting to sing along. It’s good seeing people enjoy those songs because I obviously enjoyed writing them. … I’ve been working at something happening for like the past three years, [so] it’s cool now to see a glimpse of things taking off a little bit. The shows have been getting better and better. It’s really cool.” What do you think of the Ready Set? Would you like to see him nab a Drake or Kanye collabo? Let us know in the comments!
