#OccupyFriday: Everybody hates JLS

An understandable reaction to JLS

Except for beliebers. It was nearly impossible to find decent remixes of any JLS track or Mashups for that matter which didn't make me want to vomit. I found only a handful - with some luck I might find more as I really do not want to remix/mash them myself ;)

#OccupyFriday #Obscene 19

Paul Hardcastle's 1985 smash about Vietnam gets twisted after the jump including the German version. First up the original version to set the scene and show that whilst the music might change, the story rarely does. Obscene: 

WTF: Panda+Love is a Cruelly Good Summer Feeling

I believe in miracles. On #OccupyFriday 11/11/11 we were taken into the stratosphere.

#OF Children of Violence (It's Just a Ride)

Children of Violence (It's Just a Ride)
A Tribute to Bill Hicks, Martin Luther King Jnr and Non Violence

This really, really pissed me off as one of the file samples is corrupt and I have had to go back and start again after two years of work! It's simply Robert Miles Children with loads of audio samples. It is meant to be listened to in stereo so you get the full effect of the explosions and voices of peace and war. I am going to finish this one day but I have to track down all the samples all over again :(

It was my very first mash up and it has a message which is summed up beautifully by Bill Hicks 'It's Just a Ride' which I let run almost in full. The end is a very young child responding to a bird singing. It is that simplicity of vision that I hoped to capture, especially as my technical skills were lacking when I started. I may make my own tune to this, who knows?

 Children of Violence (It's Just a Ride) by theGingerZilla

I hope it captures the reality of war, that no matter where you live in this world, no what we are told, war is an affront to humanity and always will be. It is not a necessary evil. It is Evil. As Martin Luther King has said we are ALL brothers (& sisters of course). When you allow politicians to see others as different you strip your brothers and sisters of their humanity.

CellDweller

CellDweller4.3 by theGingerZilla

A remix of CellDweller - "a hybrid fusion of aggressive electronic music combined with orchestral and rock influences" who let morons like me download stems and add beats n' tweaks. It has a deliberate 80's drum sound in the intro, just don't ask me why. All I wanted was something that was banging!

I hope to edit this down soon as I'm not happy with it as it is, especially the sound levels.This was one I never got back to but having listened again I just might do that sooner rather than later as it doesn't sound far off.

STFU David Cameron

I don't agree with the sentiment (see below) but this is a funky tune and as a self confessed mashhead I couldn't help but admire the aesthetics of mashing Max Keiser into a funky song you can dance to.

With a little bit of work call it 'polishing', this could and should be released for Christmas to take on the Great Satans: Beliebers and Simon CowellBeasts. I would of course change the words 'David Cameron 'because otherwise this will upset the Kraken and he'll demand a bigger tithe. I know no one has ever seen this Kraken but it scares me. Better safe than sorry!

#OccupyFriday - Rave Against the Machine

To go with my simultaneous post over at GingerZilla (a home of truth, love and laughter and the odd "mandatory conspiracy") and The Bleeding Nose Shelter (where I vent my Metal Mashing Mad spleen), I thought I'd have some rather tasty electronic remixes of the Rage Against the Machine Classic and British Number One, Killing in the Name of. In tribute to the #occupy movement, which was itself inspired by the Arab Spring, I post something every #OccupyFriday as it was always after Friday prayer that the People took to the street for their beliefs.

I am in awe at the spirit of humanity that is showing itself across the globe. Music is what makes us one, because I believe in seeing people as human beings first and foremost. Now I'll shut up so you can enjoy the music. If you have any music suggestions please send them to me on Twitter or leave a comment (I'll get back to you after the tone).

From Dubstep to Psychedelic Trance from Tech House to Drum n Bass. Most are downloadable and I have a sneaky suspicion I am going to play with these to Kill 'em All. Keep going after the jump for all the remixes.

#OccupyFriday: Dirty Deeds Done Acoustic

Inspired by the #Occupy revolutions round the world I'm doing a series of videos and posts on my blogs regarding social issues raised by artists,comedians, public figures and piss takers. I hope to post something every Friday as it was after Friday Prayers that the Arab Spring grew from - a time when people of all genders, cultures and classes meet together.

This is Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello covering the AC/DC classic Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap with his own lyrics:
