OCARINA ORCHESTRA

I've been fooling around with this one for a while. This is sort of a sequel to my FFVIIM3G4M1X. It's a remix/mash-up of the soundtrack to the video game The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time.

FISCHERSPOONER - INFIDELS OF THE WORLD UNITE (WOLVES REMIX)

So apparently I have the worst luck when it comes to remix contests. First it was the Kristen Wiig/Macgrubber one getting closed a week early, and now this. I just got an email saying that my remix for the Green Shoe Laces/Dim Mak remix contest got rejected. I'm not sure why, but as far as I can tell, it's because I live in California, and for some reason people in California can't enter. No idea why. Here's the remix any way.

Update: I resubmitted, and for some reason they excepted it this time. Go figure.

Ice Cream Social - Fathoms + Remixage

I met Sam (Ice Cream Social) through our mutual friend Devin (Lion, Roar!). I started checking out his blog, and listening to the songs he posted as he made them. They caught my ear, but it wasn't until after I finally talked him into sending me his full album that I truly recognized his genius.

Fathoms is 13 minutes and 24 seconds of pure music magic. A fully realized instrumental concept album (which is no small feat). I offered my services as a designer and ended up doing the artwork for the album. I did the world map (above) and cover (below). Now check out the album:

Fathoms is the soundtrack to an imaginary video game, paying tribute to side-scrolling platform games from the 16-bit era of SNES, Genesis and DOS with a modern spin.

Wolves Remixes Vol.3

There isn't much to say here since I did a play by play on pretty much every track on this album. If you've been following the remixes as they come out this is still worth a look. About half the tracks have been re edited, and this also includes an extended version of the Passion Pit Sleepyhead remix.

This was a fun thing to produce, and I hope people enjoy it. Vol.4 is already in the works.

THE NU WAVE - MY FAVORITE DRUG (WOLVES REMIX)

I stumbled across The Nu Wave one day while surfing ap.net's free music Friday. Their EP was a ton of fun. Every song was catchy as hell. I contacted them almost immediately and asked them if they were interested in me doing a remix for them. It turns out they were.

This was one of those remixes where after I finally got it to a good place I spent a good week or two tweaking to get it just right. The guitar was particularly hard to integrate, because so much of the remix is electronics, I just couldn't get it to jive with the rest of track, and none of my usual tricks were working. Finally I just sat and listened to the guitar track by itself for a while. I found one part in particular really caught my interest. In the end I only used about 2 seconds of the whole guitar clip, and just looped it backwards and forwards a ton of times. I was really inspired by dubstep for this one, and listened to a lot of slugabed and numbernin6 while working on this. I loved how the verse bass line came out.

Up dates

I'm gonna give a little update here. I just spent an hour looking at photos for the covers of my next two albums. Above this is a little taste of the art coming up. I'm also working on my last remix for vol.3 which of Nu Wave's Favorite Drug. So I'm chugging along.
Now onto the krux of this post. I've got plans to release 3 albums this summer. One every month, here is the tentative release schedule as of now:

+Late in June I'm looking to put out Wolves Remixes Vol.3. You can already score most of the tracks off my website, but the final product should have slightly better versions than are already out there. As well as them being neatly arranged by me.

+In what will probably be early July I'm going to drop my Ocarina Of Time megamix called Ocarina Orchestra. The album is five tracks with an additional track that mixes all the songs together into one long mix. Here's the tracklisting, It actually gives clues to some of the main samples I use for each song.
Part. 1 Kokiri Melody
Part. 2 Lost Woods Lullaby
Part. 3 Stormy Windmill Waltz
Part. 4 Geruedo Valley Grind
Part.5 Temple Of Time Tango
Ocarina Orchestra Mix

+The last release will be sometime in August and is an EP full of brand new material. The EP is called Precipice, and will act as sort of a precursor to the album I'm going to be putting out next year called Mountain Range. It's a completely new style for me, and it's very different than my last album.

Little extra bonus. Here's what I'm currently spinning:

A-Trak - Dirty South Dance 2

mc chris - mc chris Goes To Hell

Tokyo Police Club - Champ

Chemical Brothers - Further

Asher Roth - Asleep In The Bread Aisle

RAC x Holy Rollers

Ratatat - LP4

BRIAN BEYKE - HOW OUR LIVES LOOK WITH THE LIGHTS OFF (WOLVES REMIX) + KRISTEN WIIG - CHAMPION (WOLVES REMIX) + Soundcloud

Well It's your lucky day. Two new Wolves remixes. My second one for Brian Beyke and a contest entry for the MacGruber remix contest. I'm a big fan of Will Forte, and the movie is a lot of fun, so you should check it out.
