BTW, tickets for this are $9.33 this Friday at Westword and all the madness starts on June 19th. Dirty Projectors-Naked We Make It [mp3] Dirty Projectors-Hazard [...]
Thanks to Dave Wrangler for officially turning my day into an old school hip hop party. He recently dropped his remix of Notorious B.I.G.'s "Hypnotize" into my inbox the other day and I've just started cranking it. Wrangler takes the medium groove and B.I.G.'s high caliber rhymes and hooks them up to a 12 cylinder engine. With an old school house back beat and the sped up verbal assault lyrics, I'm buzzing around the office now! mp3: Notorious B.I.G. - Hypnotize (Dave Wrangler Remix) and this isn't Wrangler's first attempt of [...]
This is a re-post in case ya'll missed it last week. Only a few days to go so hopefully yeyall have a chance to blast one out. So far all the Schitz we been getting has been dope, so thanks. Oh, and if you want to use the actual font we use, it's called TRAJEN BOLD . Word. Ya know, I feel kind of bad holding a contest for only Van City natives after so many of you supported us through the ' 100 songs/100 hours ' that I [...]
-Thomas Ross Turner of Ghostland Observatory says that when he gets a case of writer's block he turns to: " jazz and Burt Bacharach , mid 70's Parliament stuff when they were dropping the Mothership [Connection]. I think Burt Bacharach is one of the best at writing a song that people will remember forever ." Here's an idea I'm tossing out: Burt Bacharach and Mike Post . Biggie Vs. Ghostland . Just some nice simple stripped down toe tapping funk: Biggie [...]
Remixes and mashups fall into the same genre of music; like brother and sister. Remixes consist of songs that have parts pulled away and/or added on by another musician, whereas mashups consist of combining two separate songs to make one cohesive unit. Dave Wrangler is one of the latest in making mashups and remixes and he has put together three stunning tracks that use Ghostland Observatory as the base. I had a chance to e-mail with Dave, discussing his technique in putting songs together [...]
Here are your beats to move your feets on this fine Friday; a couple of Aussie electro bliss moments from Faux Pas and So I'm Jo, some Dave Wrangler mixes and mash ups, a Sir Billy '80s industrial edit and a nice dubstep remix of Horace Andy & Ashley Beedle. The three oldies are a disco classic from the O'Jays, an old school hip hop joint by Sugar Daddy and a sweet slice of primo '80s Britfunk
Ghostland Observatory They listen to Los Tigres del Norte, and that's ok with me. The duo will be stopping in Denver May 30th.

(this was done on purpose) Coinciding with the release of Notorious we have the release of a hot new track sent to us by Cold Blank. They remixed Hypnotized by sampling Biggie's voice for the majority of the track and letting it break down into the original part way through only to buildback up into a 4/4 kick and tons pulsating synths. A roaring house take on a classic party tune it is sure to set the clubs on FIRE. DNGRCAT is a cat out of southern Ontario who has been spinning around the university scenes in London [...]
Today we have some new tracks for you guys! Aren't you excited? Dave Wrangler has been spinning all over the place, and I don't know why we didn't come across him sooner. Well you learn new things everyday. So Mr. Dave Wrangler has sent us some tracks and I must say they're pretty fucking jam. Some of you probably know who he is already he's back and forth from Houston to Austin. But for those of you who don't here's a brief bio of this man. dave wrangler [...]
