*EDIT* remix! - We See 'Em

thanks for pointing out the expired rapidshare link! its now fixed, with a non-expiring link!
My pal Marvellous Mac Mello is finally getting round to releasing his debut single next year, "We See 'Em / G's", next year.
A bunch of time ago, he asked me to do a remix for him and we kept it under wraps for a while too! But finally it can see the light of day!

spread!

P.S Check out his Last.fm page also.

remix! - Cut Dick

Mr Oizo - Cut Dick (Bean Butler Judaisco edit)

I couldn't resist doing a disco re-work of this track, partly 'cos it was asking for it and partly cos its one of the stand-out tracks on the new Oizo record, Lamb's Anger, which doesn't fall into the Justice / Ed Banger trope which is so prevalent and boring!
More to follow!

remix! - Love Lockdown *edit*

I read this article in the guardian last week, regarding Kanye West's new album and how his ambition has transcended hip hop, heralding the birth of a new musical genre, "pop-art".
Now, while not being a huge fan of Kanye, I think he's generally got the right idea this time - Its awesome to see a big name star of his status, openly calling for progression and change in both the hip hop and indeed pop music communities. 95% of UK and US top forty singles are pap nowadays, so this can only be a good thing. Let's hope it provokes a bit of competition too - If Kanye is aiming to be the noughties Phil Collins, maybe 50 Cent can get way into world music and take on the mantle of Peter Gabriel.

To get 'em started, here's my remix of Kanye's Love Lockdown.

oh, and re: Tom's question, I'm not convinced that mr West has what it takes to single handedly pioneer a new genre, nor do i think hip hop particularly needs saving - Maybe Kanye's statement can be seen as challenge or a catalyst to others, to keep striving for originality and keep creative. Whatever grandiose and inflated opinions K. West might have of himself, its nice to see pop music holding a mirror up to itself again.




p.s I tried to make it sound like Alexander O'Neal.

MIXTAPE III: RAPIDSHARE EDIT!

Whooops, Rapidshare have blocked my new mixtape due to "suspected illegal content".
I think it was probably to do with kraftwerk being involved, I suspect they have one of those web sheriff agents or something. Anyway, i'll do my best to re-up the mixtape with an altered tracklisting SOMEWHERE ELSE in the next few days. hold tight!
