The Tiger Mendoza Blog

I’ve been listening to Annie Mac’s Mashup radio show for a little while now and generally the bit I’m waiting for is the minimix - 5mins where a DJ, producer or band make a musical collage of stuff that has influenced them or that they’re listening to at the moment. Here’s my go:

Tiger Mendoza - Minimix

The Chemical Brothers - Setting Sun (Live version)

NiN - Perfect Drug (Acapella)
Foo Fighters - Everlong
RHCP - Under the bridge

(update 02/11: Sorry, couldn’t resist making a couple of minor tweaks!)

I re-dicovered this recently. Yes I know it’s silly.
Murder she wrote [TM remix] (feat. Chaka Demus and Pliers)

So I seem to have gotten back in to making bootlegs recently instead of finishing off the proper Tiger Mendoza demo that I’ve been trying to finish for ages now (almost there now though honest..). When I was on the way home from a mate’s wedding a couple of weeks ago I came up with an idea so here’s the result:

Hometown Lopez (Adele & High Contrast / 808 State & James Dean Bradfield)

Feel free to leave any comments.

I don’t know why I haven’t posted this on here sooner but here’s my take on Ryan Adams’ version of Wonderwall:

>> Tiger Mendoza vs Ryan Adams - Wonderwall

It’s kind of a dark indusrial hip hop take version which I thought came together nicely after messing around with Ableton Live

Also I’ve done a remix for Oxford Band Hammer vs The Snake which also came out pretty well so here it is:

>> Hammer vs The Snake - Blame (Tiger Mendoza Remix)

As far as I know they like it and it may be going out on an e.p. they’re putting together soon but that hasn’t been confirmed yet. Cheers to the band for letting a complete stranger mess around with their song.
I’ve also been messing around with my 4-track, my new guitar and Mr. Sean Mills on some completly stripped down acoustic stuff. When I’ve finished it, I’ll probably stick it up on here as well but I’ll save that for another time….
