The Good, the Bad and the Lovely

2012-03-13T00:00:00-04:00

This is a casual stroll through 67 songs in less than half as many minutes. It’s a layered mix that goes a long way in creating a whole new thing out of a seriously wide range of tunes (and even a poem).

Smooth Celloriminal

2011-08-13T00:00:00-04:00

I do a lot of audio editing for Artistic Dance Conservatory - everything from quick edits to detailed mashups – and this last project was a lot of fun. They wanted Michael Jackson‘s Smooth Criminal mashed up with 2Cellos‘ version of the same song, and it had to be a minute long.

One minute isn’t a whole lot of time to work with… It took a lot of work to edit the mashup down into what was needed for the choreography, without missing out on the song itself. I ended up also using an a capella copy of Smooth Criminal alongside the 2Cello music – it was a lot of fun.

Since I was enjoying the mix so much, I decided to continue working on it after submitting the copy that was requested… I ended up with a two and a half minute mashup: Smooth Celloriminal.

Cocaine Barbecue

2011-06-16T00:00:00-04:00

As Anto Greencheese would say… “It’s not kid safe!!”

This King Megatrip masterpiece is straight up chaos and all over the map… Includes classic rock, hip hop, some punk rock and a whole bunch of bootleg mash-ups. Filled with inside jokes, over the top profanity and spoken word samples — What else could you ask for?!

I managed to get TWO of my creations into this mix, and I’m quite proud of them both. It’s always difficult to let them stand alone, because of how much King Megatrip puts into it in the mix … But here they are:

Jimbalaya – Outroduction To Saturday … This one is all Elton John – Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting.

Jimbalaya – Tweaked Blow … This one is one part UGK – Cocaine (Ft Rick Ross) and one part Eric Clapton – Cocaine.
