Albert Hofmann Remixfight

Dr. Albert Hofmann, who passed away yesterday, was a Swiss scientist best known for having been the first to synthesize, ingest and communicate the strong hallucinogenic effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Hofmann authored more than 100 scientific articles and wrote a number of books, including “LSD: My Problem Child”. The speech he gave called “LSD and the Nature of Reality” was presented before the international conference “Hallucinogens, Shamanism and Modern Life” in San Francisco on the afternoon of Saturday, September 30, 1978. We're going to remix it this month on Remixfight! and you're invited to join us.

While you're over there, check out all the great remixes of Lux Divon's "Doctor P". Mine's called "The Doctored P", any no it's not about some random drug test.

Superfly

New remix alert! I took an old familiar vocal track that I had previously remixed and paired it up with an old familiar sample pack that I had previously remixed and came up with Superfly, matching a pitch shifted Jason Brock with the funk that is fourstones.

Speaking of fourstones, there's still a week to create your own remix of this sample pack and take on the mighty mixers of Remixfight! Game on, at least for another week.

Enjoy.

Balloon Flights

I've got a couple new remixes happening as we speak over on Remixfight!

The "Syntax Collapse Mix" is a pretty straight-forward remix of The Grammar Club's song "Balloon Flight".

"Lunatic" is a mash-up featuring DJ Blue, DJ Snyder, Beefy, and KCentric.

Check out all the cool remixes over on Remixfight! and pick your fave!

Anaxagoras

blocSonic is a net label that produces very cool online compilation packages of new CC licensed audio and video, complete with downloadable packaging and artwork. One of my remixes made it on to their recent compilation Anaxagoras. "Caught by the Hard Moonlight" features a couple friends from ccmixter, the words and vocals of Omni Vista and guitar from HC-7.

Remixfight!

I've kind of stepped in and taken over the admin duties at Remixfight!, mostly because I refuse to see it die a slow and painful death. Again. When it first began, it suffered from a lack of administrative oversight after the first few fights, and I stepped in and took it over. This was around 2004. Collectively, we (the community) brought it back from the brink. Then, we got hacked by some malicious virus that took the site down, and Future Boy rebuilt it into what it looks like today. He put in his time, and now I'm back to putting in mine.

This month, we're featuring The Grammar Club, a bunch of really talented guys, some of whom are friends of mine and some of whom I've never met but seem like cool and talented guys. You can remix their new song Balloon Flight by getting the source files here. Go grab some grammar club and cuss like a sailor!

I also did a recent remix of Brooklyn's finest, Clarance Boddyker, mashing up one of his pellas with a backing track by Sippy Cup. Check out Silly - Boddyker vs. Sippy Cup, as I try to play peacemaker over at ccmixter.

Enjoy.

This One's For You Baby

So the wrappings off the "Purple Reign" project, so it's safe to post my 2 new songs. Also attributed to my alter ego (that shite guy).

"Baby" features Johnny Cashpoint trading vocals with me, all music by me.

"For You" features my friends Phil and Heather doing guitar and vocals respectively, Phil Wages throwing in his unique falsetto stylings, and some excellent wah guitar from Code. Everything else is by me.

Check them out. They're for you baby.

The Apathetic Dirtbag

I threw together a new mashup of C. Layne's vocal tracks from "Apathy is Invincibility" with Brad Sucks "Dirtbag".

I think the image above speaks for itself.
