Ghostbusters

/

It’s Halloween and it’s been 30 years since Ghostbusters was released so I’m hitting two bats with one pumpkin with this Ghostbusters remix. Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd’s classic gets the rewind…..streams are crossed, Zuul prepares us for the coming of Gozer and the Stay Puft Marshmallow man appears in all his guises.

Whilst on the topic of BILL MURRAY, this Thursday (30th Oct) I am Audio DJing (no video) for the launch of Hungry Castle’s new collection “The Shit Collection” which features a Bill Murray shirt.

Moscow : City of Light

/

I’ve just returned from Moscow yesterday morning where I was a judge and performer at the Circle of Light Festival. Massive thanks to Tatyana Popova who did an amazing job of wrangling all the judges and 5 times as many contestants. While i was there i did a set on Moscow 24 TV and performed an AV set projected onto Yuri Gagarin’s standby space rocket. Someone has very kindly posted the whole set online . That is probably the most impressive projection I’ve ever performed on. The whole festival was incredibly impressive but possibly the most exciting part for me was meeting Stuart Warren Hill (Hexstatic / Holotronica). Stuart created the AV video piece TIMBER  in 1997 which is the first example of AV I ever saw and it’s what made me want to make Eclectic Method. So it’s fair to say Stuart has totally changed my life and this was the first time I ever had the chance to meet him. Stuart hasn’t paused innovating for a sec and has slowed down his Hexstatic persona to instead focus on Holotronica. He has also invented the Holo-Gauze screen, a projection screen that remains totally invisible till you project on it. Stuart is using it in combination with 3D glasses to do Holotronica 3D Shows but Eric Prydz also recently used the screen for his legendary MSG show, video below:

Bob’s Burgers - Tina Moombahton Mix by eclecticmethod

With Season 5 of Bob’s Burgers looming on the televisual horizon (October 5th) I thought it was time for the Tina Belcher Moombahton Remix.

“According to Google Trends, searches for Tina dwarf those for her other four family members….” - Slate

She is the perfect representation of the awkward hormonal teenager most of us were, and she turns down for nothing. So cue the get jiggy latin beats and funky Tina breakdowns.

YES NASTY!

I LOVE YOU

/

How far can you take it when sampling just one phrase? Well, I’ve tried to totally overdo it by creating a piece from Audrey Hepburn just saying  “I Love You”, from the public domain movie “Charade”. One of the most literal visual examples of sampling ever. Every pitch shift and jitter in sound has been matched with a corresponding shift and jitter in picture. The track is available to download for free and so are the audio stems for those who want to do their own remix. Also you can jam with the video in the new Coub Mixer browser based video remixer. You can also go to the main Coub Mixer main page and make your own multi channel video sample jams.

Cosmos vs Lazerdisk vs The Knocks

/

COSMOS, the Carl Sagan Cosmos series has been remade with Neil Degrasse Tyson and is flipping ridicusick. MELANGE  is the new ep from Lazerdisk. The track “Crashing” on Melange is a collaboration between Lazerdisk and The Knocks and they asked me to remix it. I try to make everything I do about video as well as music (video music ainnit) so I decided to combine my audio remix with the Cosmos TV show what with the lyrics being so starry and such “You know where we are, dancing in the stars……”

Mind Control Tool

/

Technology has been able to give you a case of the mind shits for sometime now. Just ask the Russians about their sonic weather weapons and apparently Nikola Tesla could make someone do the macarena from 200 yards away with just a pocket watch and a lighter. So YC the Cynic and I teamed up to make a genuine Audio-Visual assault to the system. The track opens with fair warning so don’t come moaning to us if after watching you have no free will and keep scratching your privates every time someone rings your door bell. If you find the nose bleeds stop and you still want more you can get the stems to remix with here or listen to it on spotify.

Wimbledon : Shake That Grass

/

The embodiment of British reserve, the Wimbledon tennis tournament opens on 23rd June. What better way to celebrate than with a loud electro house audio-visual remix made up of racket thwacks, grunts and other moments from the history of the competition. So Music Producer Eye on the Pyramid and I have teamed up to give this year’s Wimbledon a jolt in the grass with “Wimbledon : Shake That Grass”. A track made for tennis fans and DJs alike, though whatever you do, don’t get caught shouting #ShakeThatGrass courtside. Also if you want you can download the stems from Blend.io and remix it yourself.

HODOR in da HOUSE

/

Game of Thrones season finale is coming and Hodor is in da house. Hungry Castle and I have joined forces to celebrate Hodor’s hodor-ism with this pumping electro house remix of the shows theme song. They say never go full Hodor, but they can go Joffrey themselves, it’s HODOR TIME. Hungry Castle have also made HODOR HOODS for to purchase yo!

World Cup Cut Up

/

I love Football, but I love it double at world cup time. Last two world cups i was lucky enough to be travelling around the world and got to enjoy the excitement of what is truly a global event. The Olympics are alright but nothing gathers people in shouting, celebrating global masses quite like the world cup. This time around it’s in Brazil. As everyone knows Brazilian’s are ridicu-skilled at football and make insanely rhythmic music. So it’s been a bit of a shame that a lot of the official and un-official music has been a bit pap and not very football or rhythmic. The exception to this shite is Fatboy Slim’s album “Bem Brasil”. So I wanted to make a video that was super Brazilian and super football, the beats are mostly the sounds of football boots kicking footballs reconstructed to a Samba beat. It’s like an advert for the world cup in general, brought to you by Nike, Adidas, Puma, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, BBC, NBC, ESPN, ITV etc etc…… Enjoy it, and may your team win.

Wes Anderson Mixtape

/

Great directors create their own genre and Wes Anderson movies are a genre unto themselves. His films are played out in linear motion, his actors moving like costumed dolls in a vast toy house. It’s as much theater as film. Here are Anderson’s movies remixed like a cross section of a doll’s house - the themes and styles blended and mashed together. This is the latest in my series of Director Mixtapes previously Tarantino and Almodovar
