Jan 12 2010 Copyright Criminals Spreading Cross The Web and shit

Wow, i love the internet, love love love it. Just under 24hours from putting our Wu Tang Clan video mixtape online RZA himself has tweeted it to the masses.

“Art creates Art. Check this great piece on the Wu. http://vimeo.com/8670418 BONG BONG”

Also just for fun I have to whip out this quote from U-God about Eclectic Method from a piece we did together in 2008:

“This blew my motherfucking head off!!  I’ve never seen nothing like this… this is some NEW SHIT!!!  Kids is gonna love this…”

Also y’all gotta check out this Copyright Criminals Video. It’s the intro to the Copyright Criminals Documentary which is out soon, as well as televising on PBS this month in the states. We appear in the documentary as do many other top top remixers and samplistas like Coldcut, Chuck D and Q Bert to name but a few.

Jan 11 2010 Shaolin

Thanks to everyone who came to NYCWTF on saturday, was an excellent party. We finished the Wu-Tang Clan Mixtape. We been planning and thinking about this for a while. Me and Ian have spent the last few months chucking back and forth intricate cuts of Wu Samples. The mix features tons of Wu Clips from music videos, interviews, films they’ve appeared in but we also cut up the kung fu movies that wu sampled into the mix. Not just the spoken word bits but also making beats out of the fighting. I’ve been super obsessed with the idea of beats, rhythm made of kung fu fighting for a long long while now. Wu was the perfect mixtape to match up the sick hip hop with the sick fighting beats. Anyway all this got me thinking about the fighting remixes we’ve done over the years and so i tried to locate some of them on the interweb:

Kung Fu Beats

Streetfighter Jam on SVM

Snake Worship Island

Streetfighter

Kill Bill Remix

Sopranos Remix

GTA Vice City Remix

Bass Rutten

The one i can’t find right now is the Bruce Lee remix we did an age ago. Man I love kung fu movies!

Happy Holiday period to the lot of ya.  I joyfully spent the last two days cooking over sized meals and sitting in front of the telly. Now I am preparing for our New Year’s eve gig…. We are supporting the excellent MSTRKRFT and Lotus in Philly, check out the video we made for the night. Wu Tang mixtape is done but we saving it for the first days of 2010.  In February I am gonna go hang out in LA for a few months. Still gonna be back to the East Coast frequently but gonna go chill my snowed in bones in the sun for a bit. 2009 has been ridiculous. The most fun year so far for the Method from the crazy features on the Colbert Report and CNN to jamming with Chuck D on stage in Toronto.  Thanks to everyone for making this year so fun for us.
