Hey gang — I’m playing at Bootie again this month (Oct. 24) in the Electro-Bootie lounge. Come get crunk with me!

Funky Cold Medina/Wild Thing: Same Song?

12-Aug-09

This is what happens when you lay “Funky Cold Medina” and “Wild Thing” on top of each other in a DAW. Why reinvent the wheel, right?

The Homewrecker

The Homewrecker is quite possibly the strangest music-related weekend project I’ve ever seen.

Versus

13-Mar-09

I get email on a regular basis from readers wanting me to mashup song xyz with zyx. Thomas Irvin doesn’t bother to write me, however. Instead, he catalogs his ideas on his web site.

Recombinant remix and video artist rx has done it again. Check out his latest creation, a politically charged anti-war video cover of Helter Skelter. Make sure to also check out his Should I Stay or Should I Go video featuring Tony Blair. Amazing stuff as usual.

Lots of Acapellas

22-Mar-08

Scotty over at Ramdom Thoughts tipped me off to this great collection of free acapellas. Lots of good stuff, especially if you are into hip-hop.

BTW, Ramdom Thoughts is coming up on show #100. Scotty is actively soliciting exclusive mashups for his centennial anniversary, so if you’re a mashup producer and you have something to contribute, [...]
