Music in the Morning
Jul 22nd
I woke up this morning a little bit earlier than usual because of stomach pains and such so I decided to get to some beat making. I had alot of cool ideas in my head and had to get some of them out. I jumped into the studio seat and started pounding at the keyboard and clicking at the mouse till I found something that sounded nice and melodic. I was enjoying it and right before time to go to work, since I am such an iFanBoy, I had to pull out my new iPhone again and just take a video of the area where I make my music as well as the melodic loop I made. Hope you guys enjoy it and please leave me some comments somewhere about it and maybe it will entice me to make more videos of possibly me in the studio doing a full production song from start to finish. Enjoy!

Die Antwoord, South African Hip Hop
May 19th
South African rave-rap group Die Antwoord are a lot more than they appear.
Their emergence/sudden ‘viral explosion’ onto the scene might raise a few eyebrows to those who have been following their former group, Max Normal TV. If Die Antwoord’s status quo is about being “zef as fuck” and raving to the grave, it’s a curious contrast to the Atmosphere like nature of Max Normal TV’s self aware hip hop about insecurity.
Particularly interesting is how the 3:30 mark of Max Normal’s “Total Fck Up” absolutely predicts the rise of Die Antwoord. Jokin about doing rave rap to get popular, we get a glimpse of what music looks like when “the mind is gone, but the vibe is on”.
Some ideas that suggest that these folks are making high grade performance art:
- Die Antwoord are sponsored by Puma and Jagermeister
- Dre Skull was asked to produce three tracks for Die Antwoord, none of which ended up getting used. Where did that $$ come from?
- Ninja’s “tattoos” are rumored to not be real because of their inconsistency- notice how what’s on his arm in this interview is strangely absent from this video.
-Yolandi’s tracksuit and the set design of the “Enter the Ninja” video is based on the photography of Roger Ballen, according to the credits of Max Normal’s “Total Fuck Up”. Interesting reference.
But blah, I haven’t even talked about how amazing the LOL Boys Chicago Juke remix of this track is. It’s taking me back to a rave fifteen years ago, which is impossible bec?ause I would’ve been 7 then. (Or maybe all the acid I did as a seven year old affected my memory, who knows?)
But anything that makes me laugh the first time I hear it, and then press repeat the next consecutive seventeen times is impressively crafted, especially the chopped & screwed vocal breakdown halfway through; it’s pretty clear what their influences were for this track. Be on the lookout for their new EP that’s still getting shopped around to different labels – some next generation evil pop dance music on that thing.
You can preview one of their tracks on the superb Dubbel Dutch “Mixin’ It Up” mix for Discobelle.

The UsCast 001 - A Sick Start
(Lee & Charity’s New Podcast)
Charity and I have been wanting to just record our random conversations about various topics and put them online for a while. Now I guess is a decent time to start doing so, and matter of fact, we dont care how much they suck because we will just keep on doing it to archive the crazy thoughts going through our heads. For a great example, we decided to start the first one while we both sound horrible and sick from either head or sinus colds so enjoy it and please tell us what you think. We will be adding a website and twitter and area for it to be very easy to send in your input and even ask us questions. We promise we will make it easy to understand why we are doing this and why you are going to want to listen. Right now, just let us iron it out. We are in beta ok? Thanks for listening beta testers!

Dec 29th
Russ Frushtick at MTV Multiplayer was following the progress of a musical group that wanted to remake the music in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with a real orchestra. Today, he reports, they’ve finally finished their work.
The Zelda Reorchestrated project (a.k.a. ZREO) first got started six years ago when a 14-year-old had the brilliant idea to redo all the music in the game with an orchestra. Now, 82 tracks later, the idea is real and you can listen to it yourself.
As of a month ago, we were only short a handful of songs to complete the album, however, many of the songs from Ocarina of Time were not nearly up to par with others, so we decided to go through the album, song by song, and figure out which songs needed to be remade. It started out as five, then ten, twelve. The list grew and grew till we reached a whopping 22 tracks. Today, we release those additional 22 remakes.
Frushtick rightly points out that this work is in no way protected from a take-down notice from Nintendo (though I’m sure the more clever legal minds out there could make a case for fair use). So get it while it’s hot in download form or pop over to Zelda Reorchestrated just to sample their work. Really, it’s pretty neat.
