Far East Movement is most known for its songs “Girls on the Dance Floor” and “Like A G6.” The group has bridged the gap between underground party records and mainstream hip-hop and pop. They blend elements of hip-hop, pop, electro and dance to create an original sound and lifestyle they call “Free Wired.”

The group translates this ‘Free Wired' way of life by constantly staying interactive and living the lifestyle it promotes. Whether it's their weekly music show on www.cherrytreeradio.com, blogging everyday on www.fareastmovement.com or uploading a series of FM Satellite webisodes they shoot on the road with their ‘spy cams,' they always stay free to “‘geek out' 25 hours a day, eight days a week.”
