At the end of January, I had accepted a position as a new mercenary mash-up producer in the ranks of Mashup Industries (I guess I'm MI-7).
It's quite a privilege to be included as a member of a group of mash-up producers known for their quality mash-up productions. With mash-up producers such as DJ Clivester, Marc Johnce, DJ Schmolli, Dan Mei, Krazy Ben, and CjR Mix, I look forward to QUBIChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05113806672798169551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2915841608794799078.post-22752914847501227782012-09-16T23:36:00.001-06:002012-09-16T23:38:04.236-06:00Unreal Volume

It's been a year since I produced a new mash-up. Music/mash-up production is only a hobby for me, so it took a back seat this past year while things got busy for me.
But I'm planning to get back into some serious mash-up production this year. I've purchased a new laptop and new production software, so I'm hoping to work on a few productions this year.

Dark sinister clowns have stolen the country music from Johnny Cash, which has made Johnny very very sad.
But with the energetic help of some old Yello, and a few additional funky loops/stems I found lying around (including some sounds from an old pinball machine), Johnny's Cry Cry Cry can be heard in a whole different funktronic light.

Last year, I had produced a mashup song for Halloween, but only managed to release it the day before Halloween, so it didn't get much exposure. If you've never heard it, this mashup has a distinct Tim Burton movie style to it - a whimsical, slightly corny, high energy rock sound.
