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.
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!
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.
If you like your rap with sweet nerdcore sensibilities, boy band harmonies, and the serious mad production props of my buddy Adam!, then you gotta check out The Grammar Club, whose new web album is taking the kids by storm. They graciously donated their source tracks for one of the tracks “Balloon Flight” for the next remixfight, so if you wanna take a stab at remixing some great source, get on over here and happy downloading.
Speaking of the Grammar Club, I threw together a new mashup which features Beefy’s vocals and DJ Snyder’s scratches, and mixed that up with some DJ Blue and KCentric from ccmixter. Lunatic fringe. Enjoy.
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.
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.

I’ve got a new remix. It’s called “Black Coffee“. Check it out.
I was intending to post this on ccmixter, as I downloaded the vocal track from there a while back, but since I downloaded it, there were some publishing issues with it and it got pulled from the site. So this particular remix may or may not include source material from hemeleen aka Helene. It does include moaning i lifted from one of Songboy’s tracks on ccmixter. It was originally written in 1948.
It’s funny how inspired one becomes after having their ability to create music compromised by a broken pair of headphones. My old pair literally spent thousands of hours on top of my head, and they are by far the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever owned. So I bought another pair and went straight to work.
I’ve got another Jay-Z remix wrapped up for my zzmixter project. This one features 4nsic trading flow with Jay, backing mix by me. A public service announcement about what is hip hop.
I’ve also got a remix by Calendar Girl, whose stuff I’m just discovering to be very good. I’m a bit late on July, but I intend to try to work a couple more months in there at some point.
I also threw together a little mix called Taking My Place, which features vocals by Etherdust, beats by Pat Chilla, and cello and synth by rjmarshall, all featured artists from ccmixter.
Finally, I did a couple of mixes which feature Frank H. Carter III, a very talented vocalist from ccmixter. Check out both Magic and Crazy Love, with vocals by FHCIII and backing music by me.
Magnatune has just released a new double remix album of Brad Sucks “I Don’t Know What I’m Doing”, and my remix of his song “Work Out Fine” made the final cut. Check out a full stream by clicking the image above.
Part of “I Don’t Know What I’m Doing Either“, my remix of Brad’s first CD.
New Jay-Z remix. My backing mix under his acappella vocal track for “What More Can I Say”. I sliced his vocals up slightly to try to better fit the beat. This one was kind of challenging because the chorus vocals were part of the vocal track so I couldn’t separate them out from Jay’s vocals. Oh well, you work with what you got.
