Riding Bareback is Just Wrong

Riding Bareback is Just Wrong (Notorious B.I.G. vs The Darkness) by theGingerZilla

[UPDATE 2011: I'm going to add an 'advert' for this shortly and see if I can place it on a mediashare site as this one hit it's download limit]

Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to present my first mashup release (actually the seventh track I'm working on, but first to be finished) .

I've had the instrumental track 'Bareback' (a B-side to Growing on Me) from late band The Darkness (who I absolutely loved!) for quite sometime and always wanted something to go with it. I found vocals with the help of the late Notorious BIG with Eminem on toking duties. I hated the Biggie's music at the time, but liked his vocal style. This mash-up helped me appreciate his lyrical style even more. The words leave something to be desired but as I grew up on rock music it's best not to cast any stones.

It's really just a cut and paste job with a few tweaks and I left the guitar parts bare because they rawk! Turn the volume up on this one and pretend you're Angus Young. AIR GUITAR ALERT!

Remember - Riding Bareback is Just Wrong!

Items Used:
The Darkness - Bareback vs. Notorious BIG - Dead Wrong
Also featuring an Eminem toking/coughing sample from 'Just Don't Give a Fuck
Sony Acid Pro

Enjoy - comments (constructive please) also welcome. 

You need more AudioPorn in your life!

You may have noticed a lack of posts on here of late this is for two reasons.

The first is I am now a member of the AudioPornCentral family and have been featuring my posts there. I wish to express my gratitude to Simon Iddol for the opportunity. APC recently came #26 in the BT Digital Music Awards 08 as well as being a TypePad featured blog. This is what they had to say:

"WIth a troublemaking title and bursting with talent, music blog AudioPorn Central takes DJ's, designers, and mashup geniuses and throws them all in a blender.  Featuring all sorts of mashups, remixes, and delightful tunes and images, it's incredibly popular among those-in-the-know."

Even before I joined the APC family I checked the site daily because there was always something to listen to/look at. The only problem with the site is the word 'porn' may prevent you from looking at work (unless you know someone in the IT department) otherwise you have NO excuse!

The other reason is I am busy in the studio making mashups (6 at the last count) which will appear here. I have a pile of old instrumentals and sounds I'm working my way through, but in the meantime, I've uploaded some older material at Sound Cloud which can listen to/comment on.   

Another feature due is an exclusive interview with Dlay who Laurent Garnier said of a recent soapsudcity compilation "I like Dlay tracks 1 and 2, I will present this on my radio show."

In the meantime AC/DC have released a new album which I shall part cash for as soon as I let myself out of the studio. Until then here's a preview:

Recycling Norway

Norwegian Recycling [what a great name for a mash-up artist] has been doing exactly what he says on the tin and has recycled two tracks by Norwegian hip-hop crew Karpe Diem and thrown them in with Justin Timberlake's (feat. T.I.) track 'My Love', along with Swedish Rapper Promoe's 2004 track 'Winona Ryder' to err... recycle them too!

NR has also recently featured in the Philippine Daily Inquirer discussing music, mashups and his future plans. It's definitely worth a read for being a nice open piece on the art of mash-ups and go to his website to download the rar or torrent files for these mash-ups.
