Stick em Up!

I'm up to 13 Beastie Boys remixes now, which are all listed to the right on the Acrapella link.

Here's the latest. Brrrrrrrrrrr.........

I Don't Know What I'm Doing Either

I just finished remixing Brad Sucks entire CD.

You can stream it here in the same track order as his CD.

That's it. I'm never going to remix another Brad Sucks song again. I'm done.

Halloween Remixes

Here's two. One is by The Beastie Boys. The other is by Brad Sucks.

Have a safe and Happy Halloween.

Beasties on the Brain

Man, I've been doing alot of Beastie Boys remixes lately. I've decided to put them all together into a project I'm calling "Acrapella", which I guess will be an ongoing project dedicated to their remixes, and which I'm in the process of building a dedicated webpage for. I've already linked a few of the remixes here, and I've been posting others to the Beastie Boys website, so I might as well include a few more links to ones I've done recently.

It's Like Dat Y'all - MC Jack in the Box

United States of Mind - MC Jack in the Box

Alternative Lifestyles - MC Jack in the Box

I've also done a couple mashups using acapella Beastie Boys tracks. One featured another acapella track from DJ Lang featuring G. Wills. The other mashup is going to be featured in the next Remixfight for The Idiot Kings. I've linked them below as well.

Third String Mashup - MC Jack in the Box

And I've got one more Beasties remix I'll post on Halloween. Enjoy.

Future Boy

Future Boy is an independent recording artist based in Montreal, Canada. He recently wrote and produced an album "A Maze of Death", based on the book by Phillip K. Dick. I took his track "Strange Little World" and remixed it for the most recent Remixfight. Check it out. Hell, check them all out while you're at it.

Kibbles and Bits

New Remixfight! just got posted. I took a bunch of loops by this aussie artist named Sausage Boy and built a mix around them. Mostly done in Garageband and final mix done in Pro Tools. Check out the tunes and then pick one you like.

I found this online and thought it was kind of interesting. Topical too.

Shazam!

One more for the road. If you like it, share it. It's what I'd want you to do.

One Plus Three the Hard Way

Here's one last remix before I go on self-imposed hiatus. Lyrics and A Capella Vocals by the Beastie Boys. Music by MC Jack in the Box. Enjoy.

Hey Ruth

I did a remix for Loyalty Day's "Hey Ruth" but I forgot to send it in on time to be counted in the latest Remixfight. You can check it out by clicking the link below:

Looking for Missing Relatives

"The Past Didn't Go Anywhere" was a collaborative project put out a few years ago by Ani Difranco and Utah Phillips, and once I heard the CD, I was hooked. It really opened my eyes to the artist that is Utah Philips, a storyteller, folksinger, and man of the people. It inspired me to try something like what Ani Difranco did, so I searched around and found a short monologue/intro that he did somewhere years ago. Then i tried to create a mix that blended elements of hip hop, funk, and country. All elements I sort of associate with Utah Phillips. You can check out my remix "Looking for Missing Relatives" by clicking the link below.

A Little More Than Soup

My favorite Songfight! song of all time is Starfinger's More Than Soup. I remixed it. See below.

Only

Well, I felt pretty good about THTF remix I did, so I decided to snatch the source for "Only", another NIN song that TR recently put up for grabs. I tried to rock my version up alot, similar to what I was going for on "The Hand That Feeds". I may still add a few more tracks to fill it out, but I think it carries a pretty good sonic space right now too.

The Hand That Feeds

Trent Reznor recently released the source material for the Nine Inch Nails song "The Hand That Feeds". This morning, I was bored so I decided to remix it. It was actually alot of fun to do, his loops were pretty good for the most part. I didn't use any of his original drums, decided to create my own from Reason. All the other material is from his source.

You can check out my remix here.

Kneel

I just wrapped up a remix of Redcar's "Blueberry Hassle", which should be posted up on Remixfight! in a few days.

In the meantime, here's a link to a remix I did using samples from "The Young Ones", a popular UK comedy show. I used to watch it back in college and loved it. Dedicated to the Prank Monkey.

Elvis in Space

A while back, some friends of mine, who coincidentally share the same birthday, decided to record a Songfight! tune for the occasion under the guise of The Elite Inner Echelon Blood-Circle. It happens to be the featured song in the current Remixfight! and I've got a belated birthday remix, seeing as it was just their birthday last week. So happy belated birthday to Ken, Glenn, and Fluffy.

Systematic Panic

New remix over on Remixfight! of The John Benjamin Band's "Systematic Panic". I tried to really change it up alot on this one. The original on this rocks pretty good too.

The Silverback Virus, Rocky, Jar Jar Binks, and more!

It's been a while since I've posted anything but not for a lack of effort in production. I've got a short remix of a song called "Virus" by The Silverback over on Remixfight! I wish I'd had more time to work on it, but I think it came out ok. I also did a remix of a Bill Berry song called "The problem from the start" where i used a loop sample that was named "adrian_yeah" (or something like that), which inspired me to throw together a Rocky inspired remix that uses a bunch of samples from various Rocky movies.

I also worked up a couple of loop based tunes for Songfight! recently under different guises. "Don't break my heart again George Lucas" was submitted under the name "The Jet Eye" and features the vocal stylings of my buddy from the great white north, The Hip Cola. I also tried to set a theme by using various samples of Jar Jar Binks, arguably the most annoying thing to ever come out of George's brain. Finally, I also took my first foray into the world of mashups by taking 2 songs by internet rockstar Brad Sucks and pureeing them into a Pasty White Man rapfest. Luco Brazzi sleeps with the fishes tonight.

Elephento Ovni - Lanark remixed

I remixed a tune by Lanark called "El Efecto Ovni" for the current remixfight. I thought it came out pretty nicely. I broke my self imposed rule of staying within the loopset and added a bunch of keyboard tracks to supplement the loops i used. I also rveresed a few of the loops as well, and created a new drumkit in Reason. You can hear my remix here or you can check out all the remixes for this fight here.

I've also got another remix that's pretty much done for Bill Berry. I'll post that in due time.
