Starkey recently dropped an exclusive DJ mix for XLR8R Magazine’s podcast series. It’s chock full o’ new and exciting sonic-flavor-crystals, and includes my remix of Ghislain Poirier’s Blazin‘. The Stark-bot then went on to create his own remix of Blazin‘ which I’ll share with you now:
I started out last week’s journey to my old stomping grounds, partying with my peeps at the Beat Research halloween party where Flack, Wayne, and DJ RNDM threw down hard. RNDM did a VJ set using the Ms. Pinky vinyl DJ system to do live music-video mashups. If you’re having any trouble visualizing what I mean, you’re in luck. Robotkid was in the house documenting the festivities (Flickr pics), and now RNDM’s entire set is immortalized:
RNDM and Robotkid also happen to work at Harmonix, the company that designed the popular Guitar Hero video game, and is about to unleash its latest creation, Rock Band. Robotkid was kind enough to invite me over to Harmonix headquarters so I could get a sneak-preview of the game before it’s released on Txgving day. And man, was it fun! I’m really not much of a gamer, and have never played Guitar Hero but I’ve heard a lot of hype so I was excited to see what this is all about.
Ghislain Poirier’s new album on Ninja Tune — No Ground Under — has just been released in Canada and will come out in the U.S. in early ‘08. The first single from the album is Blazin’ which features ragga vocalist Face-T and has remixes by The Bug and yours truly.
I’ve taken this opportunity to make a second remix — a mashup if you will — that I’d like to share with y’all:
You can purchase the tracks on the single from JunoDownload, Dancetracks Digital, and Digital-Tunes among others. I haven’t seen the 12-inch vinyl yet but it should be floating around out there soon too. The full No Ground Under album is also available in download from from Dancetracks Digital.
OMG! You don’t know what you’re in for folks. Chrissy Murderbot has just dropped this ridonculous club-house-garage refix of the B-52s classic party anthem, Love Shack and it’s just too hot not to set loose right away:
While we’re on the Pasta Masta tip (see Pasta Masta Al Dente Vol. 1 DJ Mix) I thought I’d point y’all to his serotonin-inducing mashup of the Pixies Where Is My Mind with some killer vocals by U.K. toaster Rodney P:
This is more a remix than a mashup, ’cause you’ve most likely never heard the instrumental before.
I did a remix for Jill Cunniff from Luscious Jackson a while back and it’s yet to be released (until today, see below). In the meantime I took some vocals from Shabba Ranks and E-40 and dropped them on top of the beat; I call it the Hawa Riddim.
