Yeah, it's been remixed like crazy, but one great thing about Radiohead 's In Rainbows is the relatively simple nature of the songs that lends them to such wide-ranging reinterpretations. Of the remixes to come out thus far, Amplive's batch of Rainydayz Remixes takes the most hip-hop approach; he slices, dices, and rearranges, leaving the essence of the song intact but definitely giving them a bit more bump. Be forewarned, if you hate hip hop you'll probably find [...]
After talk with the vips at the Radiohead camp and a greater known understanding of the purpose of the album, Amplive has been given the green light to release his Raindydayz Remixes, an 8 track, reworked masterpiece of Radiohead's latest In Rainbows album. Other than guest drops from summons like Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and Charli 2na, the best part of this would be is mimic release method. It's FREE like In Rainbows. This album is a complete result of Amplive's mad love and respect for Radiohead, and rightfully so it's one sweet expression [...]

The story behind the Amplive remix project is very inspiring as to what the future of music holds, amazing nod to the art of the remix, and a compliment to Radiohead "In Rainbows" album overall. Like Anton Newcombe said - trying is lying , in Amplive's case, that theory has in fact been proven! After a cease & desist put the breaks on Amplive's Radiohead In Rainbows remix project, the online music community reasonably wondered if the tracks would ever see the light of day. Today comes an answer: they most [...]

Okay so many of you have probably heard some of AmpLive's Radiohead remixes a few months ago. You may not know he was trying to release an album of these remixes. Well long story short, he forgot to clear it Radiohead and the label, there was some cease and desists issued, and we all thought it was dead in the water. Nope. Rainydayz Remixes is out now and it's completely free for download. I was pretty fond of the earlier remixes of Weird Fishes and Nude, but when I looked at the tracklisting for this [...]

After a cease & desist put the breaks on Amplive's Radiohead In Rainbows remix project, the online music community reasonably wondered if the tracks would ever see the light of day. Today comes an answer: they most definitely will. While the Oakland producer/DJ acknowledges that he probably should have contacted Radiohead (who were not involved in the project) to seek approval prior to making his interpretations publicly available, an agreement has been reached between all involved parties and Amplive has been granted permission to release Rainydayz Remixes for free to the general public. And [...]
Rainydayz Remixes is a short album, at 8 tracks long, so I'm not going to run a full review, rather a short look at what it has to offer. First off, what is this album, and who is it by? A while back AmpLive (an Oakland DJ-Producer) began re-tooling 'In Rainbows', starting off with 'Nude' and then moving onto the whole album. He hit a legal wall when Radiohead's management heard, and a legal battle ensued as AmpLive had not asked for their permission to use their material. A few months have passed, and now an agreement has been reached, [...]
Thanks to Brooklyn Vegan for pointing out that Amplive 's collection of In Rainbows remixes, entitled Rainydayz Remixes , is available now for free (and legal) download . The project, which was initially met with a cease & desist order and has already garnered some positive press from the New York Times and the Guardian UK , features verses from Too $hort , Chali 2na , and on this track, Del [...]

Oakland DJ-producer AmpLive made an eight-track remix record of Radiohead's In Rainbows , composed of source material pulled from the album and complimented by verses from Del The Funky Homosapien, Too $hort, Chali2na of Jurassic 5, and more. The track featuring Del is the cream of the crop, a stutter-stop remix of Radiohead's "Videotape" interspersed with The Funky Homosapien's signature [...]
Remember the Radiohead remix album that got a cease & desist order put on it? Well it is now getting released.

Bay-area producer DJ Amplive (who's produced tracks for the likes of Talib Kweli and Akon ) has recently released word of his new project, Rainydayz Remixes , which will be 8 tracks off of In Rainbows remixed, featuring verses from the likes of Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and Too Short , among others. The album is set to come out on January 10th and in honor of Radiohead , Amplive claims that if you forward any one of the three emails from W.A.S.T.E. (Radiohead's web store that emailed [...]
We got the info a while ago but we're laggin'! DJ Amplive has reworked, re this and re that the new Radiohead In Rainbows album. The result, RainyDayz Remixes, a special 8-song remixed extravaganza that displays Amp's respect to Radiohead with his textual-ear-brain coordination. To take another band's already awesome album, remix it for a double pile on, and then still give the credit and props right back to Radiohead shows deep appreciation. That's one aspect of what music is (or should be) all about. The album is a digital only download which is [...]
I thought that after Tuesday's post , I would quit talking about Radiohead for at least a few weeks. So, if you hold any animosity, blame Amplive 's exceptional remixing skills for this one. I am not usually one for remixes but when a self-proclaimed hip-hop artist attempts to remix one of my favorite Radiohead tracks, I admit that at least a morsel of curiosity peaks out. Remixes of songs that are so near and dear to one's heart can often be, well, heartbreaking if erroneously done. No one wants a different artist to botch up something that [...]
