The Vinyl Frontier: Mashups from Outer Space

Beat-Boot-Ique has released a new compilation album featuring two tracks of mine. This one is based on Science Fiction or Space Music in it's broadest interpretations, featuring mashups, remixes, new material and totally reconstructed tracks.
New for BBI releases is that this is the first album that was reviewed by a prerelease team so that the overall quality of the album could be raised before final release.
The album has an excellent flow and feels like those old concept albums, which is quite an achievement considering that all contributors where working separately on their tracks, proving that the use of this pre-release team succeeded in creating a homogenic album, instead of a collection of loosely themed, but separate tracks.
The album has been mastered by Celebrity Murder Party and he did a fine job on that.

Everyone who has an interest in spacey songs and soundscapes should give this album a listen.

Two Summer Tunes

With the summer not really getting in full swing I decided to make some summer tracks. One new, and one which was featured on the summer booty compilation a while ago.

The new one:

Who's Your Liar:
Beyonce & Shakira - Beautiful Liar (spanglish version)
vs
Daddy Yankee - Who's Your Daddy

I made this one for my wife who's totally into reggaeton and Beyonce and Shakira

The old one (though remastered, the vocal should be better in the mix and a recurring click at the end has been removed)

Drop It Like It's Chichi:
Snoop Dogg: Drop It Like It's Hot
vs
Chichi Peralta - Un Día Más

Both tracks have some imperfections but I think are still enjoyable, it's up to you to decide.

My Silent Love (Akira Yamaoka vs Lionel Richie & Diana Ross)

Akira Yamaoka is the composer of the splendid soundtracks of the Silent Hill computer games. I really love his music and always wanted to do something with it.
Silent Hill is well known for it's brutal and horrific imagery and creepy atmosphere so you might be surprised that I combined this with Lionel Richie & Diana Ross.
The file below is the tweaked version. The old one has been deleted.

My Silent Love:

Akira Yamaoka - Room of Angel (from Silent Hill 4 - The Room)
vs
Lionel Richie and Diana Ross - My Endless Love

Call Me The Beginning Of The End (Blondie vs Nine Inch Nails)

Recently I am listening to a lot of noisy music so it did not come as a surprise that I resorted to use Nine Inch Nails in my latest mashup blended with an eighties track of Blondie. Of course it also helps that NIN has published all separate tracks of several songs of their latest album Year Zero. Also Mr Bush makes a cameo appearance.

So here it is:

Blondie - Call Me
vs
Nine Inch Nails - The Beginning Of The End

Bootwerk: a bastard pop tribute to Kraftwerk

(artwork by Simon Iddol)

A while ago I had made a track for the Red Hot Chili Peppers mashup competition at mashuptown.com featuring the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Eyed Peas, Public Enemy and Kraftwerk.
Apparently this got noticed by Mashup Industries who where working on a Kraftwerk bootleggers album and I was asked if this track could be included in their project. Needless to say I was very honoured by the request and even more when I got to know who the other contributors were, like DJ Zebra, Dunproofin', Divide & Kreate and more excellent mashup artists.

The album has arrived, it's a stunning compilation and I'm proud to be included in this album together with some of my bootlegger heroes in a tribute to one of my all-time musical heroes.



You can get the full album, all individual tracks and the artwork at the site of Mashup Industries

Bring It On Pussy (Grinderman vs Goose)

This mashup is almost entirely the opposite from the previous one which was mainly acoustic. It's noisy, loud, dirty and sleazy.

Grinderman: No Pussy Blues
vs
Goose: Bring It On

No Smile Of Mine

This time an almost entire acoustic mashup, thx for DJ Schmolli for giving the inspiration:

Genesis - No Son Of Mine (acapella)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Desecration Smile (guitar/bass)
