500c Moozlerantics - The early years

This set covers some of my earlier experiments, from 1994-2005.

  Principle B 107 - This was touched up in 2005, but is actually some of the earliest sample based work I did

  Ov -ites und -ettes (edit) - This track is actually an alternate recording from what was included on my bandcamp page, I think I made 5 or 6 versions of this one.

  Feeling Nervous - The first track I officially released, on a Legendary Pink Dots tribute album of fan made original compositions

  Feeling Nervous (remix) - a dramatically different version made a few months later

  Obsidian - One of my favorites from my high school years

  A Line in the Sand - Another from "realign the moon"

  Bonus Track (Atacan las Brujas) - Completely built using Fruity Loops and the namesake El Santo movie

  Perforate My Heart, Sunshine - Nearly all based on His Name Is Alive samples, with some supplemental original recordings

  Tuning-Preparation - The opening track from my college music project, a re-interpretation of Berlioz's Faust except I did it as a live soundtrack to the Jan Svankmajer film Faust.

  Epilogue...a new Faust - the closing track from my college music project.  Chaotic, but that's how the film ended.

  Noise with his gun (loop4) - A very early loop-based collage using samples from Muslimgauze, The Sundays, Scorn, Volcano the Bear, a several others I can't remember now.

  Influx - A performance piece for my high school talent show, I was in the background and invited anyone that felt like dancing up on stage, it got wild.  Lots of His Name Is Alive samples in here.

  Eat Me, Lord - This is probably the first track I shared with my friends.  

  Denial (remix) - My first remix attempt.  The original recording was a band I was in at the time, and I can honestly say I have zero recollection of what I was doing or how this was made.  Everything was analog on metal 4-track cassettes so I got very inventive on this track.

  Actualize and Instigate - Another from "Realign the Moon"

  And This Is How It Will End - The closer from "Realign the Moon"

480 Hip Hop Mash-Ups pt1

Novelty music for sure, however some of these really work well.  In my opinion that's a rarity as there seems to be a flood of average mash-ups out there.  Sometimes there is alchemy and these two mixes really showcase the tracks that keep me coming back looking for more mash-ups.  A couple are loosely in this genre like the Kid 666 track, that is Kid606 remixing Missy Elliot, and its included here for the awesome inclusion of A-Ha's "Take On Me" at the end.  Girl talk is more like a massive mash-up mixtape, with some really great spots.  That Cut Chemist remix is not really a mashup, but its got such a strong use of Bauhaus that I had to include it.

Episode 50 - Not Your Average Electro Pop Mix

Another eclectic mix of poppy tunes that don't fit a specific category.  I included my favorite adaptation of Four Tet's early work, a rare appearance of Luke Vibert in my collection, a solid New Order cover, a Dean Martin remix that I can't find any information on (this was from a mix tape a friend gave me over 20 years ago).  My love for plunderphonics is also on display here, with a superb nod to A Tribe Called Quest and later with the always entertaining People like us.  The DJ Wally contribution to a Jesus Franco tribute is both exactly what you'd expect from him, and also exactly what would fit into the movie it samples.  I also relish any opportunity to include Julee Cruise's work.   Lastly, I can assure this is the only time I'll include any reference to Death Cab For Cutie in my mixes as I am not a fan of their work, aside from this remix, which sounds nothing like them.

00:00 Siouxsie and The Banshees - Face to Face (7" mix)
