Summer Secret Mixter

I wasn’t actually participating in the latest round of Secret Mixter over on ccmixter, but I ended up doing a couple remixes anyways, so that a couple people that got left out wouldn’t get left out.

First I did a remix of panu moon, over a lit de l’amour from morgantj. Spanked.

You can download the track here.

I also remixed spoken word artist oberonske. Karma killer.

I was also lucky enough to have one of favorite source artists from ccmixter, Admiral Bob, remix my original song “Naked on the Meach”. Totally unexpected and I love his backing.

Much thanks there Admiral Bob!

Six Feet Under

I love and have been listening to the Cure’s “Kiss me Kiss Me Kiss Me” lately so any and all similarities or influences are completely coincidental and intended.

You can download the track here. Features vocals by the Liquid Spy Network.

I Gotta Feelin’

I’ve had the hook for this song (you probably know exactly what i’m talking about) stuck in my head for the past week. I was on Facebook and my friend Claude posted the words to the chorus on his wall (said hook just mentioned) and I knew the only way to get this song out of my head was to remix it. I tracked down the original, sliced it up, added some beats and other secret stuff, and came up with this:

I Gotta Feelin’ (Black Eyed Peas remixed) – MC Jack in the Box

I’ve got a feeling….that tonight’s gonna be a good night………….

OK, so I just made a video to go with this. I used a short from from the Prelinger Archives called “Prom – It’s a Pleasure“, originally produced by The Handy (Jam) Organization in 1961, and co-sponsored by Coke. It was seemingly used to help teens learn social behavior, probably shown in high school classes. I spliced it up, muted the original voiceover stuff, and worked it to fit the remix.

Faking It

I posted this a couple weeks ago on ccmixter. All source mashup of Brad Sucks’ “fake it” with Lisa DeBenedictis adding some vocals as well. Kind of an extended mix I guess. Or maybe I was just faking it way out here in Santa Cruz. I also added some strings and keyboard in gratuitous but subtle fashion.

Kids on Chlorophyll

Just finished a new remix which combines some very nice guitar work by Pitx with a stellar vocal track by c. layne. I also added some piano, keyboard, and MIDI strings.
