Expensive Looks, also known as Alec Feld, is a part of an ever expanding group of musicians who work exclusively with the pre-recorded tracks of a specific genre, remixing them and creating reconstructions that generate brand new listening experiences from music that our generation grew up with.  What separates Expensive Looks from predecessors like Girl Talk and Super Mash Bros. is his commitment to predominantly sample tracks from early ‘90s hip-hop and R&B, giving his tracks a very specific vibe and tone. In a mix done exclusively for Bullett, Expensive Looks stitched together classic tracks by Black Street, Aaliyah, Destiny’s Child, and TLC, played with their rhythms, and created a sound that took us back to middle school and made our inner-13 year old dance its ass off.
