Copyright Criminals

Jonny — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 04:39:10 +0000

The Copyright Criminals Documentary is about to be released on DVD. Also this Tuesday 19th Jan 2010 it’s showing on PBS and to celebrate both those facts we are playing the launch party at the Brooklyn Bowl.

“…an amazing documentary on the history of sampling” -Rob Sheffield. Contributing Editor, Rolling Stone

USA Today calls Copyright Criminals “…a compelling and insightful documentary illuminating both sides of a hotly debated issue.”

Copyright Criminals features a bunch of interviews with legendary sample/musical cuttery folk like Matt Black, Mix Master Make, Hank Shocklee and DJ Qbert. It also features interviews with some people who have been notoriously sampled like George Clinton & Clyde Stubblefield. Also we did a interview about what we do in terms of video remixing and made a bunch of video remix segments for the documentary.

Here’s one of the mixes we made for Copyright Criminals:

And here’s the trailer...

Wu-Tang Clan

Jonny — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 00:17:17 +0000

We loves us some Wu-Tang. We been working on this a while now. It’s a mixtape dedicated to the Wu. Featuring wu music videos, interviews, live performances, clips from the kung fu films the wu sampled, beats made out of the kung fu and even a scene where Rza, Gza and Bill Murray kick it in Jim Jarmusch’s “Coffee and Cigarettes”. It all ends with a special dedication to the ODB. Shaolin!

Cultural Funkin Overload

Jonny — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:06:06 +0000

So for a long while I been thinking about the idea of a super band made up of musicians from many different bands playing major riffs. Jimmy Page, Slash, Jon Bonham, Kurt Kobain and so on all playing together. So we are developing this idea further but the first major attempt is now online:

Most recently we made THIS intro video for Phish’s 99 Albums Halloween show. Also check out this recent feature in our local Greenpoint Gazette.

PHISH 99 ALBUMS FESTIVAL 8 VIDEO REMIX
(Saturday October 31, 2009) Video remix producers/DJs Eclectic Method are the creators of the secret intro video to the “musical costume” second set of Phish’s 2009 Halloween performance in Indio, CA. Taking Phish’s brilliant viral “99 Albums” online promotion to the next level, the London born/Brooklyn-based trio sourced content from all 99 albums, and remixed them into a single, profound, beat-driven AV collage, screened to the tens of thousands of fans in attendance just before the band took stage to perform their Halloween ritual of covering an iconic album.

SEED CONCEPT
To promote Festival 8, Phish created an online viral campaign to drive buzz and speculation as to what record the band will play as a “musical costume” on Halloween, a Phish tradition dating back 15 years. The campaign consisted of 99 of the most reputed and buzz-worthy potential “costumes,” hosted online in an interactive, scrolling landscape of ornately-framed records. From Zeppelin to Zappa, Hendrix to Bowie, one by one, each album gets “axed”–literally–until one final record is left standing. It was known to the fans that THIS is the album that Phish will recreate live on stage Halloween night.
