First of all Happy New Year to you all! I found out today that my little bootleg has been selected as one of 2 winners of the first DJ Shadow remix competition! I am an exceptionally happy bunny!
It’s also been posted in the bootlegs part of the site. The other winner was NiT GriT’s brilliant reworking of Shadow’s Building Steam With a Grain of salt which you can listen to here.
Cheers to everyone that’s listened and downloaded and especially to the Djshadow.com team for selecting my mix. Helena said she’s up for trying to recreate “Missing…” live when we finally get to play live (which we’re hoping to do later this year) so I’ll keep you posted on how that goes.
I just thought I’d say that the unofficial Britney remix album It’s Britney, Mixed! has gone live. Well played to everyone that remixed, mashed up and rejigged Ms. Spears’ tunes for the project and especially to World Famous Audio Hacker for putting the whole thing together.
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 (v2)
Tracklisting:
Prodigy – No good (start the dance)
Primal Scream – Movin’ on up
Lion – Transformers theme
Pendulum – Propane nightmares
QOTSA – No-one knows (UNKLE remix)
Burial – Archangel
DJ Shadow – High noon
The Chemical Brothers – Setting Sun (Live version)
The Beatles – Tomorrow never knows
The Evenings – I Didn’t remember
Iggy Pop – Lust for life
NiN – Perfect Drug (Acapella)
Foo Fighters – Everlong
RHCP – Under the bridge
Kings of convenience – I don’t know what… (Mojib remix)
The Herbaliser – On your knees
Orbital & Kirk Hammett – Satan
Squarepusher – My Red hot car
David Holmes – Radio 7
Union of Knives – Opposite direction
The Knack – My Sharona
(update 02/11: Sorry, couldn’t resist making a couple of minor tweaks!)
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:
I thought I’d put some of files back up that were on the last version of the site but wanted to separate them out a bit. So, if you look over to the left you’ll see a link to ‘Music‘ and some of the bits and pieces I’ve put together on pages below it. There’s also the first version of a new Adele / 808 state bootleg on the bootlegs page for you to enjoy. May still need a bit a bit mre tweaking but ah well, it’s up now. I’ll re-jig it soon.
For some reason I’ve also signed up for the Orange unisigned act / pop idol type thing for a bit of a laugh. Not sure why but feel free to look at my rad new page.
Lastly howdy to anyone that’s arrived here from the GYBO forum, hope you like what you find.
NB: From time to time I may post mp3s and stuff by other artists that I really admire and would like to raise awareness of in my own small way. If you are the copyright holder of the file and would like it taken down, please contact me and I will do so as soon as I can. Happy listening.
