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.
Night Cry (Early Bird Edition) was originally released on Envision's The 3rd World: Annual Genre-Smashed compilation. Unfortunately, the IFPI had the album download removed.
Fortunately, you can still enjoy my funktronic mash-up track here using the Official.fm player below. You can also enjoy the funky mash-up video I put together for this track (available on YouTube and Vimeo for everyone's global viewing pleasure).

BorisB is working on a new-ish video project these days... He's taking his best mash-up videos of all time and reproducing them in stunning HD video. The first video out of the gate, and just in time for Xmas, is the video for the Xmas mash-up I had produced a couple of years ago, Oíche Suaimhneach, Fir Caoin. (Note: You'll have to watch it from the vimeo web site to get the HD quality video.)
Here's the remastered version of the song file in high-quality 320 kbps stereo for your listening and downloading pleasure...

Continuum 08: the Videos is a collection of mashup videos produced by myself and a few other producers based on my mashup singles from 2008.
My original intent was to have this project completed by April 2009, but a few personal situations delayed the project. My sincere apologies go to the other producers (BorisB, Guv'nor, and The Reborn Identity), who produced videos for this project back in February/March and had to wait until now to see them released. I thank them for their immense patience.
Besides uploading the videos to YouTube and Vimeo for people to watch, I've created 2 download packages. One package includes higher quality, higher bitrate videos. The second package includes videos that have been optimized for iPod, iTouch, and iPhone. The iPod versions can also be played on AppleTV or from the video output on iPod, iTouch, and iPhone.
Both video download packages include the video tracks, a digital booklet (in PDF, which can be added to your iTunes library), and a paper CD case (in PDF, with printing and folding instructions).
You can watch the individual videos using the YouTube or Vimeo video players below. Or click on the appropriate download link to download the videos with all the extra goodies.

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.
Now it's Halloween time again and I thought I'd promote the mashup once again for those of you who missed it. But I couldn't just offer you the exact same thing as last year, so there's a few little bonuses with this new 2009 release...
First, I've been working on some of my remastering skills, so I remastered this song a bit and offer it to you in 320kbps haunting stereo. Most of the audio was pretty good in the original release, so it basically received a little audio cleanup and a little more compression.
Second, for a little in-your-face Halloween fun, I created a 3D version of the album art (as shown above), so strap on your 3D glasses and bugger up your eyes & brain (click on the image above for a larger version). For best results, use the 3D glasses with the green and magenta (pink) lenses. I got mine from the 3D version of Coraline. You should also get some decent results with blue and red lenses.
And third, everyone's favourite producer, Guv'nor, produced a video to accompany this mashup. I hope you enjoy this healthy little Halloween treat - no sugar added!
BTW, there is a LANGUAGE WARNING - what's a good Halloween song without a li'l cursing?

A Little Piece About Death (A Rockoween Love Story) [clean]
** CLEAN LYRICS version **
It's been a long time (over 4 months actually) since I've posted anything here, which means it's been quite a while since I've released any music production material. And I've been very quiet on the mashup/remix forums, too.
That's because, since January this year, I've been quite busy working on a project geared towards improving some of my production skills. But I didn't want to be the only one having fun with this project. I also invited a few producers to join in the fun. Boris, DJ Dylan, Guv'nor, and Reborn Identity are contributing some interesting videos to accompany this project.
In the middle of that project (in April), I got caught up in a creative contest that sucked my spare time dry until June, so my project was basically in a holding state throughout that contest. Although I didn't win a prize, it presented some interesting production opportunities with other producers/musicians that I hope I'll be able to show in 4-6 months from now.
When I started working on my project again in June, I decided it was also time to start having some fun with video mashup production. I decided that I'd tackle 2 videos for this project of mine. As it turns out, a few weeks ago an unfinished version of one of those videos was leaked out. Instead of fighting it, I thought I'd get the video completed and release it as a bit of a prelude to the release of the full project.
I present, from the upcoming release, Continuum 08, the video for Thinking About Pumping Up the Volume...
For those of you who are curious, I've uploaded the unfinished version of the video that had been leaked out a few weeks ago. You, too, can enjoy seeing some of story boarding ideas embedded in the unfinished video, and compare that with the final production. You can find the unfinished video version here .
Since this is my first video production, and I'm about to start the production of my second video for my Continuum 08 project, I welcome any comments or feedback about this video mashup production so I have some skills/issues to work on in my upcoming video productions.
