You've probably heard the cumbia version of Snoop Dogg's sharing-is-caring anthem, "Ain't No Fun," on the KCRW airwaves recently. Or maybe it was the steel drum cover of Black Box's early '90s pop house cut, "Everybody Everybody," that stopped you in your tracks and made you think, "Wait...is that...?"

The alchemist merging all these disparate forms into certified modern dancefloor fillers is none other than DJ Nu-Mark, a man who knows a thing or two about rocking a party.

On his newly released album “Run For Cover,” the former Jurassic 5 DJ-producer reinterprets songs from the likes of Busta Rhymes and Dee-Lite in a funky fashion.

"It feels nice to trace other people's art,” Nu-Mark says about the idea of doing a covers album. “Especially in these times where everything is very serious and heavy. It was fun to peel back a few layers and see what was inside."
