GIRL TALK DISCUSSES HIS LIVE SHOW AND FUTURE PLANS

S.S Coachella "Music Festival At Sea" - JamaicaIt is no mystery that I am a fan of Girl Talk.  Amidst all of the spewed hate from DJs saying that he doesn’t fit the DJ mold, and performers saying that he’s just a “DJ who presses buttons,” he stands out to me as a unique figure that has blazed his own trail in the mashup world.  HERE IS AN ARTICLE discussing his plans for his new album, and how he intends to change things up a bit.  Also, HERE IS THE LETTER that he wrote to his fans in July, explaining his live show in depth.  The video in this letter is definitely worth watching – you won’t think it’s all so simple anymore! Here it is, in case you are too lazy to click through!

Popped And Screwed – Best Of 2012

POPPEDANDSCREWED

It is finally here! I have been sitting on a number of these tracks for over 6 months, waiting for the perfect moment to release them… and what better time than the very end of the year? This album is comprised of 13 tracks (12 on soundcloud, because of copyright issues), all featuring chopped and screwed versions of pop songs that were big in 2012. I have released the project on legitmix, an incredible new platform that allows DJs and producers to LEGALLY sell and/or giveaway sampled and derivative content. If you want to purchase the individual tracks, you may do so on legitmix, assuming you own the original song that I remixed.  If you do not own the source material, than you will purchase it alongside the remix and get both!

Here is a direct link to the missing track, which was my biggest hit ever: Somebody That I Used To Know Was Dead Wrong ft. Gotye & Notorious B.I.G.

 Here is the soundcloud set with the remaining 12 songs. If you want to download them, you can proceed directly from the “BUY ON LEGITMIX” button on soundcloud, or go here: DOWNLOAD THE TRACKS!

INSPIRATION – Where I’m From, Jay-Z

I am not the first person to post this incredible documentary, and I definitely won’t be the last. I have watched this at least 5 times.

There is only one word that I can use to describe this documentary – INSPIRATIONAL. The more I watch it, the more I feel compelled to succeed, and to one day play shows this big. Strangely, one question burns in my mind every time I think of Jay-Z’s success… If Jay is this big, where would BIGGIE be now if he were alive? Ponder that.

THE MELKER PROJECT 2 – Presented by RumbaTime

It is finally here.  The Melker Project 2. The single largest piece of work that I have ever released – a 53 minutes mixtape that includes roughly 200 songs from nearly every genre imaginable. I have tweaked, coddled, loved, hated, adjusted, erased and frantically un-erased this mix for over a year.  And now I finally have decided it is time to share it with the world. Be gentle, this is my baby.

I rarely ask for much… but if you do enjoy the mix, please share it on Facebook, tweet the link, email it to your friends,or scream about it through a bullhorn at work. My singular goal is to share this with as many people as humanly possible, and to accomplish that, I need all of you. The download is completely free.  No email address required.

Special thanks go out to RumbaTime (www.rumbatime.com/rumbatime) for sponsoring the mix and to Matthew Lafferty (matthewlafferty.4ormat.com) for the INCREDIBLE ARTWORK. He drew those black and white pictures of me by hand! They look exactly like a photograph.  Incredible.

Crush Vs. Stay Fly – Jennifer Paige Vs. Three 6 Mafia (Popped And Screwed) – The Melker Project & Friendly Greg

Friendly Greg and I practically INVENTED this whole Popped and Screwed thing. I mean, we have LOADS of unreleased material, just burning a hole in our computers. We did this track months ago for my upcoming Popped and Screwed album… which then ended up delayed (It’s coming out this month). So we wanted to let this auditory artwork spread its wings and fly. So what is this track all about? Well, it’s Jennifer Paige singing about her little crush, with Three 6 Mafia rapping about, well, whatever Three 6 Mafia raps about.  And then there’s that HEAVY Rick Ross beat. A montage of random wonderfulness. Enjoy.

THE MELKER PROJECT 2 RELEASE DATE + PARTY!

2009. The year of the Ox. The USA saw the swearing in of a black president, the shocking demise of a superstar golfer, the miraculous landing of a plane in the frigid Hudson River, and the birth of The Melker Project. After a 3 year hiatus, The Melker Project 2 is slated for release on 12/11/12, Barack Obama has been reelected, and Tiger Woods doesn’t suck nearly as bad at golf anymore. Coincidence? I think not. And not only will the mix be released, but we are having a party to celebrate (the flyer above is temporary, look for the real one next week). I am psyched to be playing alongside mashup brethren Hood Internet – this should be an incredible night! More information to come next week, but the show is selling out fast… so GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!

VOGUE MAGAZINE + CFDA + ME!

I am about to go all US Weekly on y’all… I recently played at the Vogue Magazine and CFDA Fashion Awards, an event that I have been fortunate to be a part of for the past few years. It’s like Project Runway, but for designers with actual talent! Here are a few pics from the night, courtesy of Billy Farrell. See if you can figure out which person seems out of place among these celebrities (hint, it’s me).
