Backmasking My Way Into Your Heart

From Subliminal,

Backmasking is a collection of remixes I created between 2007 and 2009 during my stay at ccMixter. Other projects cover the rest of the songs written while there. This one focuses on music written to other people's vocal pieces. Exceptions are With Friends Like These and Blind Date, which are both original pieces with ties to ccMixter. With Friends Like These was uploaded there as a sample pack for others to use in their remixes, whereas Blind Date made quite a journey through ccMixter space before coming back home. In the word(s) of ccMixter's favourite dj MC Jack In The Box, enjoy...

Twilight Under Velveteen Skies

Ivan Chew has an excellent (very detailed. had I known I would have worked faster. lol) post on his blog about a collaboration/album narva9, colab and myself were extremely pleased to be a part of. Please take a moment to read about it. :)

DoKashiteru

Man, how cool are these guys? I was on youtube, typed in "moog" and bumped into these excellent videos. Just a coincidence I guess but it made me think I should mention how much I enjoy their music. DoKashiteru really does make some awesome music.

Gizmo was released a while back, I'm a little late getting on this but I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already. :)

St Nikkelbag - Clarance Boddyker

Check out the new release from Clarance Boddyker and other hip-hop heavies from mixter. Great job guys. : )

A frequent collaborator and contributer to the CC Mixter remixer community website, this album was made by recording rap a capellas in New York City and Manila and emailing and posting the pells on CC Mixter. From there and over the next 4 years, CC Mixter musicians and producers from all over the world swapped the pells over email and created music, remixing the original pells Clarance posted on the CCM site. In the end, after producing the album via email wholly with executive producers Hi Stakes and soulSIDIOUS and several CCM producers, Clarance selected the best tracks from 4 years of CC Mixter posted remixes based on his pells and Saint Nikkelbag was born.

Oh yeah - NSFW.

Gurdonark - Seven Virtues

Please take a moment out of your day to listen to this latest release by Gurdonark. Your body and mind will thank you. : )

"The Seven Virtues" comprises seven melodic instrumental pieces, each titled with the name of a virtue. The pieces are minimalist by design and spirit, and each is comprised entirely of the sampled sound of wooden mallet upon Orrefors crystal, processed through the software synthesizer called Sawcutter 2.0. Processing of the sound reflects the facets of the crystal--with an aim to give the sound an atmosphere, and not to process the sound beyond recognition. more

Brad Sucks

From Brad's blog:

Magnatune & I will soon be putting out a double CD of Creative Commons-licensed ccMixter remixes of songs off I Don’t Know What I’m Doing. It’s a pretty awesome project that shows a lot of the super wickedness that can come out of the Creative Commons.

Awesome.
