Chocolate Cake
Jan 16th
This is my entry for the RPM Challenge 2009. I’m presenting it below both as an entire cake, and as individual pieces.
The Contoured Tears Of A Clown
Jan 16th
This is basically a dubby/downbeat remix of Smokey Robinson And The Miracles – The Tears Of A Clown.
I also used the introduction of The Contours – Do You Love Me and the main beat from Disrupt – Bauhelm Dub to create the music that Smokey Robinson’s vocals sit in.
There’s some serious bass in there, so get this out of a good set of speakers if you can!

My Son (Is Disrespectful)
Jan 16th
I spliced a 911 call from YouTube with some Jay Dee beats…
This lady’s (seriously explicit) flow makes the Wu-Tang Clan look like the Teletubbies.
You can hear the original call here.

Touching The SummerSweet Moon
Jan 16th
This one is an up-beat, slightly jazzy tune. I’ve been sitting on Luminescent Orchestrii’s Moon Song for a while (you can stream their original song here, or download the mp3 here), trying to do it justice with my work (not that I’m making it better, but that I’m not making it worse). This is what came out… Oh, I also used parts from:
Andre Nickatina – Summer In Florida
Nuspirit Helsinki – Take It Back
Tosca – Annanas
Bitter:Sweet – Salty Air
Mew – Small Ambulance
Q-Burns Abstract Message – Touchin’ On Something

Rolling The Bones
Jan 16th

DJ Vadim – Melodies In Vertical Theory
Billie Holiday – Just One Of Those Things
Dizzee Rascal – Excuse Me Please
Melvin Bliss – Synthetic Substitution
DJ Shadow – Midnight In A Perfect World
