I downloaded a trial of this awesome music editing software called Abelton, and it's really sick. It's so fucking hard to use but it's what (some) professional producers use and I THINK there's a way we can output tracks at 320 with it, if we got the full version or a cracked version. It's got a crazy sampler too, I've been messing with it with amazing results. We need to meet sometime this week if possible. I don't want to put up all the crappy quality pacemaker mixes we have, and I really want to start putting out real quality shit. I'm emailing those dudes about sound 402 & 404 tonight; Turner was on my plane and he was interested in it too so I think we could have an amazing little class if I got my roll on with the emailing. I've also been thinking about sampling this soundclip from this cartoon network show and chopping it and seeing if this local area rapper would want to use it for his mixtape. PRODUCTION SON.

This is what we sample.

We use this to sample it (DL Ableton Live not LE)

Got no DJ lessons while I was home. Kinda feelin like we're losing momentum.

I'm having some issues with the monster post I'm about to put up. I think the mixer might have died dude. Which is so shitty haha, I couldn't get any sound out of it, like it wouldn't register on the lights, and the headphones weren't giving me anything either. SO I'm gonna fuck with it more today, and if things go good, HUGE post with all our stuff recorded with the tag on it, and all the new stuff we've been working on and haven't played. Aside from all the noise issues it was a good gig on Saturday man, and I love the pics. I think it will soon be a standard to post cute Vu picks on the blog.

Crackatharsis // Tokyo Ghetto Pussy + Cut Copy - Forever Love

I chase mice.

Here's my take.

I made it as elaborate as I could without muddling it to demonstrate the soundscapes we can incorporate. We can design a legit one on Friday or thereafter.

So I made some tags for remixs we make from now on. They're not the best but here's the site I used incase you have a good idea and wanna make your own. I did the mixer recording into garageband thing to make them and it was relatively quick.

Crack Tag 1

Crack Tag 2

Crack Tag 3

Bustin' Out: Sugar City Dance Party

Rockers, soul boys, and punks - come together! Sugar City presents a party that'll smack you upside your head and make you remember the power of rock and roll! Featuring all your favorites from legends like James Brown, Otis Redding, The Ramones, New York Dolls, Curtis Mayfield, Devo, and many more. Bring a mix CD or tape to show your friends how hip you are and get a buck off!

Groove to tunes by Sugar Citizen Dan Carosa, La Cacahouette's Blake Ellman and Nick Gordon of London Vs New York. Come on down Friday night to get up, shake your hips, and let your backbone slip!
This will be Sugar City's last major hurrah before the new year. We've been working together for over 8 months and have programmed almost two dozen events. We are very excited about taking the next step and fully realizing our vision. Please come out, show your support and help us get the real party started!

For those that are unfamiliar, Sugar City exists as an alternative community arts and cultural group to share and create art based on participatory culture and a do-it-together attitude. Events and initiatives include, but are not limited to, establishing a non-hierarchical all ages venue for music, films, a zine library, meeting space, local craft corner, art gallery, workshops, and workspaces. We want to break down the barriers of what is and isn't "art" because in some way everyone is an artist. Sugar City is about sharing creativity and energy. This organization focuses itself on the exhibition, performance, and creation of art for those who cannot obtain space from traditional sources.

Here's the crazy 14 minute mix. Now that things are going okay with the mixer recording I'm gonna record that other sick transition I did too. But later.

Hot Shit Mix

Ps. I found out how to listen to music before you dl it in zshare links. Umm if you replace the part of the address where it says /download/ to /audio/ then you get this page which is hella helpful for listening to stuff. So I'm formatting my ish like this from now on. K peace.

Pant, pant

So I tried for like an hour to find something to work with Arab money and no dice. Your remix is pretty fire too I've been listening to it a bunch. And that we getting crunk track is begging to be laid under something dude.

I spent some time just finding more music so here's what i got. They're streaming this ridiculous mixtape at this site and Idk what to do. We could drop 5 on it (well I could) and get all the files at 320. Then again do we really NEED this? Peep yourself.

I found some bullshit Kanye remix, and as much as I hate everything that's coming off his new album I feel like we should start stocking up cuz it's Kanye and no matter what bitches are gonna want to hear whatever song he picks to be the next single

And this is pretty monster

Finally i can't find out why we don't show up at all on google when I search crackatharsis. I'm working on it. Practice Wednesday or Friday this week? Both?

Draft of my Arab Money smash-up (it's in .aif format but it should work):

Crackatharsis // Busta Rhymes + Portishead - Arab Strangers

Purrr

Really good remix from SebastiAn's new volume.
Heard this? It would be good to weave into something.
I agree regarding Arab Money. I'll work on something today.

Dog

Dude I'd NUT for the shit on that site. How much do those cost?

Ps I think this song is gonna be big (well get bigger), we should make a mashup on pacemaker seeing as how that takes like twenty seconds once we find songs with matching bpms haha. I BPM'd it at 94.

Arab Money

It also has a really simple dance.

Cat

Can we get matching ones?

Meow.

I added a little video action to make it uploadable. It's a trans from Health's Heaven to Lo Fi Fnk's Unighted. I think it would be nice as an opener--demands attention at first, gets chaotic, becomes dancey, establishes a good bpm (in the 120/130s) to work with for the first few songs of a set. Soon to come: Tokyo Ghetto Pussy + Cut Copy.

I think this could be good laid over something else. Also I can't really hammer down BPM for it. 122-124 I keep getting. Djay it and see what you get?

This is kinda the same laying it over something else, I got it off the Lemur Blog

That's it I have alot more but I used up almost all of my initiative getting this done, but now it'll be so easy to post when I find stuff, this is a good idea son.
