" A head-rush that unites disparate pop culture elements into an insanely infectious, beatwise rollercoaster" - DJ Mag
"Earwax problem? Eclectic Method will shake it loose" - Brian Eno
Eclectic Method have helped define a new form of remix entertainment. Their fans read like a 'Who's Who' of musical innovation, from Fatboyslim to U2, Brian Eno to Chuck D. These and many others are digging Eclectic Method's technique.
Their unique take on remixing music videos, film samples and media in general has to be seen to be fully understood. Take a healthy dollop of post-modern irony, a Britney sample here, a rock riff there, an electronic dance anthem or two and a peppering of pop classics and you're on your way to understanding their vibe. Top that off with some rare hip-hop and film action mania and you've got an all-encompassing audio visual experience in a party atmosphere like never before, shuffling together mainstream and underground. The result ... a live, visionary, high impact improvised remix experience.
MTV were quick to recognise Eclectic Method's videomixery and hired them to develop for MTV Mash, a show based on the trio's first video mashups. Eclectic Method's MTV video mixes were a decadent take on mainstream fare ripping up and serving up the likes of Busta Rhymes, Guns 'n' Roses and Beck. Their 2004 DVD "We're Not Vjs" was the world's first videomix album and inspired a whole load of youths to pick up Video Turntablism. Pioneer and Sony have called on them to test and launch their products most especially using Pioneer's DVJ turntables in live shows. In between production/remix works, the boys travel the globe with their next-level remix A/V show. Asia, America, (north and south) all over the UK and Europe. In galleries, on beaches, up mountains, in cinemas and superclubs. They've played at Sundance Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, Raindance Festival and BBC Radio One's huge One Big Weekend. Their live show has been recognised as both truly innovative and able to completely get a club jumping. Together they mashup multiple video decks live to create a "infectious, beatwise rollercoaster".
U2's Larry Mullen called up the boys to produce select U2 video remixes after seeing their work on youtube (the internet continues to be integral to Eclectic Method's success), while in 2006 dance remix legend Fatboyslim asked them to make the audiovisual megamix for his greatest hits DVD "Why Make Videos" (Skint Records). Eclectic Method never stop and just recently finished the music video for the Grammy Winning Public Enemy/Benny Benassi "Bring The Noise" remix. Their remix skills have gone beyond just the music world and folk as diverse as Film Companies, Sports Leagues and Japanese animators have turned to them for their unique video remixes. Palm Pictures have used Eclectic Method's production skills to mash up classic Jamaican movies as well as the documentaries "Freestyle" and "Scratch" featuring the likes of Biggie Smalls, Mos Def and DJ Qbert.
" Tying up the visuals with the audio - that is the future: Two words: Eclectic Method ." - Eddy Temple-Morris, XFM/MTV "2manyDjs but with music videos" - Time Out
"Doing It..Fresh...Original" - Gilles Peterson "That's Hot!"- Christina Aguilera "The perfect act to warm up and get the crowd going because the relentless danceability of what they're doing really warms people up" - Matt Black (Coldcut)
