An undead zombie commentary on the living and all things reanimated.
Maybe you can resist the skillful vocals of ADELE. Maybe you can deny that you have cried your eyes out to her heart-destroying song SOMEONE LIKE YOU.
Maybe you can resist remix talents, like AXWELL, which flocked to her music and turned it all house techno, but I really doubt it.
AZEALIA BANKS sings, raps and makes suggestively offensive noises on her track 212 featuring LAZY JAY. It’s all flirting and fighting, sex and threats, but that works for me. Notice the heavy drum-n-bass techniques applied to hip-hop production. What a fantastic mix mash of styles, which somewhat remind me of THE CLIPSE’s agressive synth beats.
No, it’s not duck season or rabbit season. Rather, it’s time to sample Tex Avery cartoons and apply some super massive dubstep drops to the Elmer Fudd and his trigger-happy self. MISSHIN rocks the remix with style and grace. Z-Props to whoever re-edited the animation. This track bangs like a 30 foot gong.
Glitch-Hop is a funny little label for such a diverse genre of music. TORO Y MOI do a fantastic job applying a’80s R&B persona to the new glitchy category based on heavy crossfade action with manically altering beats and truncated samples. Very danceable stuff.
Sounds like Phil Collins on mescaline, no?
TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB, like a lot of pop rock, sound great when remixed as dnb or dubstep. Again, already great tracks live an extended life when the YouTube musical democracy gets at it. Rude internet trolls don’t always have the best taste in music, still the voting remix/mashup community can really critique and even encourage new beats. Listen to FEED ME’s remix of “What you Know.”
First of all, I love KID CUDI’s production, which is not all hiphop nor all R&B. mixed in are vocals from Canadian rapper DRAKE, who sings over hooks like a character from Peter Pan. I’m more than a fan of this remix, therefore I had to make an alternative music video using the timeless animation of UB IWERKS, whose proto-Disney character FLIP THE FROG inspired the design of MICKEY MOUSE, long before Disney was a known brand. The eye design and walk cyclce came directly through the character FLIP, making UB IWERKS the originator of the Disney style, meanwhile his name gets scrubbed from the title cards of early Disney cartoon shorts. Know your animation roots.
