White Witch Dub

Ever wondered what Fleetwood Mac would sound dubstep style? Well click below to find out!

White Witch Dub (Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon vs Skream - Dub Period - apols to both!)

First heard in it’s original form on Skip to the End, this is quite a different sort of boot from me - dubby, moody and atmospheric; and about a mythological Welsh (Dub) Queen…with a lot of dubby production from yours truly, with some help from that Skream bloke :-D

Down at Fraggle Ross!

Just in time for the movie, but oh no that silly DjNoNo has done it again - Fraggle Rock with french distortion-bothering artist SebastiAn? Oh dear…be afraid. Be very afraid..

Not safe for children, or, anyone….

My first mashup video - Neon Sex People

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Was a lot of fun to do despite it being delayed 3 days by the Virtumonde trojan. Does what it says on the tin - mashup video of Depeche Mode, Neon Neon and Latour. Was a lot of the other sort of ‘fun’ synching via After Effects, I can tell you!Quite proud of this - mashing up the great ‘People are Still Having Sex’ Latour video, Neon Neon’s Jellyfish-tastic effort and the classic ‘on a ship hitting things’ Depeche Mode video for People are People.80’s, 90’s and 00’s all in one mashup! Phew!HQ YouTube version

New mashup - Neon Sex People (Neon Neon vs Depeche Mode)

OK this was premiered at CMP 9 - I think this is fairly obvious and hope no-one has already done it, I finished it several weeks ago and have been scared since then someone would do it as well!

Basically the new Neon Neon (Gryff from Super Furry Animals and Boom Bip) is ace, but the track ‘I Lust U’ is more than slightly influenced by a certain Depeche Mode track, so I’ve mashed People are People and I Lust U together, with occasional interventions from Latour’s People Are Still Having Sex.

I think it’s brill and one of my best, but then I would would’nt I?

RC 158: Negativland 1 - No Other Possibility

Negativland culture jammed - No Other Possibility!
Negativland press short - early 80’s? I mean WTF David doesn’t have a beard so it’s early - culturejammed a little by me ;-)

In a conversation recently I found several people who had no idea who Negativland are - being the sort to want to show people new music and bring it to them, here are two shows about the Bay Area merry band of pranksters, culturejammers, CB radio and cutup freaks that not only pissed off U2 (bonus!) fell out with SST (seems like everyone has since) they also pioneered using the media to subvert it’s own message with Helter Stupid and the murders by David Brom, inspiring mashups and cutup culture in the process.

They ARE the grandaddies of mashup. So pay attention children!

This episode, inspired by the dense collage of Over The Edge shows that the band have been doing since the early 80’s on KPFA in Berkeley, takes us from the start of Negativland shrouded in the fog and sex chemicals of Concord in 1980, to being sued bea sate by Bono and co. in 1991 even ironically as U2 embark on the culturejamming inspired tour that was ZooTV…
