Colonel Abrams & Boards of Canada - Trapped (Hell Interface edit)
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about a mixtape made by Boards of Canada, a cassette-only release for their friends. One of the tracks that stood out for me was what turns out to be a remix of an 80s RnB track called ‘Trapped’ by Colonel Abrams (above).
Here is the track put into the original music video, put together (I presume) by HanMono
Hell Interface’, and have another 80s song remix by Midnight Star called ‘The Midas Touch’. The video, similarly mixed with the remix can be found here (warning: extreme 80s style)

Music For Saharan Cellphones from BOOMARM NATION
A remix collection of the original “Music from Saharan Cellphones”, a fascinating and exotic mixtape of contemporary African music:
In 2010 returning from extensive travel in Mali and Mauritania, Chris Kirkley (Sahel Sounds) presented “Music from Saharan Cellphones”. The music on the compilation was collected from cellphones in the Northern Malian town of Kidal. In much of West Africa, cellphones are are used as all-purpose multimedia devices. In lieu of personal computers and high speed internet, cellphones house portable music collections, playback songs on tiny built-in speakers, and swap files through peer-to-peer Bluetooth wireless transfer. The songs collected in Kidal range from DIY Tuareg guitar, auto-tuned Moroccan chaabi, Malian coupé décalé, and fruityloop hip hop. Originally released as a limited run cassette tape by Mississippi Records in Portland OR, the cassette was uploaded to blogs and online media hubs, and quickly became a viral source of new and inspiring sounds.
On Oct.10 2011 Boomarm Nation and Sahel Sounds present: “Music For Saharan Cellphones”. Drawing on gifted producers and musicians from a variety of stylistic backgrounds and nationalities, each artist selected and re-interpreted a musical moment from the source material. From bass laden sound/clash ventures, abstract re-creations, and even an amazing autotune cover, the end result holds a rich assortment of well informed musical statements. Reflecting the energy and fidelity of its origins, these versions take on their own rare and exciting form. Using the mp3 as the medium, the Music and the Musicians become the diplomacy. -
The Wub Machine
Upload an MP3 and it will remix it, either as Dubstep or Electro House. Created by Peter Sobot:
The Wub Machine was a great little auto-remixer project - some audio hackery in Python to make a neat script. Unfortunately, I can probably count on one hand the number of people who *actually* downloaded the script and tried it on their own songs. So, I decided to make it into a web app. (tl;dr: go try out the site now!)
I’ve tried it, and posting the results below. I used a chiptune song, one that was originally used in a ZX Spectrum game called Cybernoid. Its beepy, it was a small file (and … er … it was there on my desktop). Here is how it sounds:
Cybernoid - The Fighting Machine - Title Music by Prosthetic Knowledge
Here is the ‘Dubstep’ remix:
Cybernoid - Dubstep Version (Wub Machine Remix) by Prosthetic Knowledge
And here is the ‘Electro House’ remix:
Cybernoid (Wub Machine Electro Remix) by Prosthetic Knowledge
It works really well, although I’m sure proper electronic musicians are not going to lose sleep over this. Fun to mess around with. I didn’t try anything with vocals, but I’m sure it would be effective in the Electro-House style.
You can download the final track or upload it to SoundCloud - a SoundCloud list can be found here

This video doesn’t intend to promote violence!
this is only my reflection of what is going on around the world.
Special tnx to the musicians , it was a pleasure finding your youtube videos. -
VidRhythm - iOS app for video remixing your own content
Another video remixing app - in comparision to Cambox, this app seems to be designed for a different audience. Productions are composed before playing (as opposed to Cambox’s on-the-spot performance.
I can imagine something made with this will go viral - if you can make something great with dogs barking like the video above, I wonder what else can be put together.

The Avalanches watershed debut album, Since I Left You, is about to receive the deluxe 10-Year Anniversary treatment it deserves.
Since the record’s global release in 2001, its legacy has continued to grow exponentially. Since I Left You is a record that came seemingly out of nowhere and went on to become not only one of the most influential records of the last decade, but in recent polls conducted by both Pitchfork Media and Australian radio station triple j, as one of the greatest and most beloved albums of all time.
The Since I Left You 10-Year Anniversary Re-Issue will feature the original classic album accompanied by a bonus disc of material including remixes from the original album campaign, new reworks from the likes of El Guincho, MF Doom, Canyons, Black Dice, Jackson and his Computer Band, some exquisite Avalanches remixes of other artists, plus unreleased early b-sides, demo tracks and other such rarities. -
