MEAD-VICE

Hi everybody

In today’s listing on Mead-Vice.com, I have a plethora of wonderful mash-up and download site’s for your enjoyment. Also some Pod-casts and on-line radio stations

Firstly, I would like to Give DJ Useo a show of immense appreciation, for once again taking time out of his busy schedule & stepping into the breach and hosting the

Ramdomthoughts Pod-cast,

while presenter Scott is taking time out for exams. Yet another fabulous show, great mash-up’s presented with humour, style & panache. This is the 4^th outing for DJ Useo, along with other greats such as Bobby Martini, Oscar TG, Neutronic and DJ Petruska

Pod-casting is not an easy medium in which to express oneself, as I’m sure, there are many people out there who could testify to this. I have personally listened to and now miss a number of pod-casts that simply didn’t last the test of time, may they rest in peace.

However, there are plenty of mash-up pod-casts out there worth a listen. Top of the shop, of course, is ramdomthoughts.com, but another favourite of mine is

www.mashstix.com

where you can listen to Radio Stix, presented by Josh R & the Mashstix Alternative hosted by G3rst. There are many downloads, including the ‘Sounds In The New World’ double CD. This site does have corporate sponser’s, but don’t let that put you off. Alternately, go to Gotham City, where the ultimate being of enlightenment that is Colatron has it listed there at www.colatron.com/

For those of you who like Trance, especially live, I can recommend the wonderful

Afterhours.FM.

Afterhours.FM (AH.FM) is a free online radio station which plays Trance and Progressive music from DJs around the world. Launched in June 2006, AH.FM now has over 180 DJs and over 500 shows a month, supporting all main music formats and players.

Most of you out there probably already know about AH.FM, but for those of you who are yet to have the pleasure, simply bookmark the player and listen whenever your on-line. Simply google ‘afterhours.fm’ and click ‘player’ or go to http://forum.ah.fm/ and all supported players are at the top of the screen.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we have a few more tasty morsels for you hungry mortals.

Go to ‘http://www.djbynar.com/2009/06/bon-jovi-vs-yordis.html‘

and you will find plenty to download from DJ Bynar, but the listing in question is a marvellous blending of Yordis (DJ Fonzerelli) and Bon Jovi with Give Me Love Tonight

Over at www.in.com I managed to find the video for

Done Waiting For The Need” – CjR’s Mix Mashup (Linkin Park vs. Gwen Stefani vs. Yordis) The link to this one is -

And finally we go over to the wonderful Digital Eargasm. There is the original site (http://digitaleargasm.blogspot.com/) and the new site (http://digitaleargasm1.blogspot.com/), go to the home page & click on the Archive for 2009 (152 listings), seventh item down is

Timbaland – Mornïng aftër dark (khan edison remix)

Until next time – Peace



If, like me, you like your music spiced up a little, then you may follow the mashup scene. However, I have had a lot of people asking me the difference between mashups & remixes. So I have done a little research into the history of the genre to try and define things for you. If you are interested, checkout mashup history on Wikipedia.

A Mashup is, in it’s simplest form, the joining of an acapella of one song & the instrumental of another. With imagination, ability and a good ear, a mashup can be as many songs as you like mixed together to create one track

However!

A Remix is – when the original release has been edited to create a different version of the track. One good example of this is Beautiful Liar – Beyonce vs Shakira. To see the list of awards this song has won check wikipedia, but in Britain, it was the Freemasons remix version that propelled it to the No 1 spot after it was played on Radio 1 in place of the original track.

I have to say that I love mashups. I am a huge fan of RamdomThoughts, and constantly scour the internet for new talent.

For those of you who haven’t come across it yet. RamdomThoughts is the number one mashup podcast on the internet. It’s host and founder is a guy by the name of  Scott Johnson (a mate of mine and a class act). The show is a mix of mashups, remixes, podsafe music and Exclusive material, provided for the show by leading music producers from all over the globe. Scott is mates with (or on first name terms with) pretty much everyone on the mashup scene, from guys who mashup for fun in their bedroom, to international names such as Bobby Martini, Colatron & Dj Spider.

For those of you who would like to have a listen, there is a link in the left hand column, and you need not worry about missing out, as there are links to all past shows in the archive section.

Marvellous!
