Elephento Ovni - Lanark remixed

I remixed a tune by Lanark called "El Efecto Ovni" for the current remixfight. I thought it came out pretty nicely. I broke my self imposed rule of staying within the loopset and added a bunch of keyboard tracks to supplement the loops i used. I also rveresed a few of the loops as well, and created a new drumkit in Reason. You can hear my remix here or you can check out all the remixes for this fight here.

I've also got another remix that's pretty much done for Bill Berry. I'll post that in due time.

Chainsaw

I posted a few new links to the remixes I just wrapped up for the obscurity remixfight! I like how they turned out, but I think I've gotten pretty burned out on remixing so i'm going on hiatus for awhile. I've started working on a new Brad Sucks remix but I think after that I might take a break and focus more on the original music. Enjoy the tunes and check out remixfight for more really cool remixes.

Mo Music

I've got a couple new remixes posted up over on Remixfight! I did 2 different versions of a song called "Piano Keys" by DJ RedShirt, a remixfight stalwart. His tune is an instrumental track so to shake things up a bit, I really threw one mix into left field with a Topol inspired version I dubbed "fiddler on a goof". I've been having fun with fiddle samples lately, which I liberally and gratuitously used throughout this remix. But I did use a number of original samples, including the main bassline, select keys, and synth. The other remix I did features a number of samples I got from ccmixter.org.

I've also done 3 versions of the upcoming obscurity remixfight which should be posted sometime around the first of March. I'll post the links to them at that time. I really enjoyed working on the obscurity remix. Great mix and great vocals by JB.

Just don't call him Pucey

New remix over on Remixfight! The Pawnbroker's Stepdaughter by Puce is the latest recipient of my ADD (Audio Dysfunction Disorder). I pretty much stuck to his loopset (except the drums) and this was a really fun project. From one bloody ham to another, it was a blast. great original.

Allez Cuisine!

The Iron Clef makes a rare appearance, flagrantly disregarding the ethics of commercial-for-profit-music-ideology by paying homage in his own special way to Iron Chef Chen Kenichi. Asparagus Battle is completely made up from vocal clips from the actual Iron Chef "asparagus battle" episode, music samples from the show, and drum programming the Iron Clef created in Reason.

Donkey T remixed

New remix is posted over on the new, improved Remixfight. The original tune is called Sleepless, by UK recording artist Donkey T, a really great independent producer. My remix is pretty standard fare for me, fairly true to the original loopset with the exception of the drums, which i replaced entirely. Check out all the cool remixes as there are alot of interesting interpretations.

2 letters only takes a second to say it

I've been working on this Chuck D. remix. (Chuck D is the legendary founder of Public Enemy). I like what i've come up with but i'm still making minor tweeks here and there. anyway, i made a version that uses samples of Flava Flav that i thought came out pretty good. but then i realized that i couldn't use the Flav samples as i hadn't gotten Flav's permission, which would disqualify me out of the contest. so i muted the flav stuff for the final version but you can hear the full Flaved version here. enjoy and feel free to leave me any feedback.
