Well it’s been a while since I’ve posted a review of any music and I guess I’m due…
The two DJ’s I’ve grown fond of are from a new trend in doing some rather creative remixing work involving either a mash-up of old tunes to make a completely new product as Osymyso does, or pulling the vocal track from one song and the instrumentation from another to create new material as is done by GoHomeProductions.
I first heard about Osymyso from one of my favorite radio shows, Crap From The Past. He mentioned one of the most amazing mixes I’ve listed to in a while: Intro-Inspection (you can listen to it on his Archive Page). He composed a 12 minute song completely out of introductions from other songs. The creativity and simple brilliance put into this mix is amazing!
Go Home Productions has a good 50 tracks on their website of their special formulation of vocals from one song and instrumentation from another. I’m literally re-experiencing the joy of listening to a song for the first time –but with tunes I grew up listening to!! This guy is a true genius at finding just the perfect match of elements from the most un-related genres!! He gained popularity (and caught my attention) from mixing a Jackon-5 tune with Nirvana’s Teen Spirit. Frankly, I much prefer some of his other tunes but it’s still not too bad…
Check out both DJ’s and enjoy!!
