Acieeeeeeeeeeed!!!

I've been slacking on this blog, so I'll make it up to y'all with 18 minutes of the finest, purest acid house... this is also the 12" used by my world famous dj cat in his youtube video.

btw, I purposely left in the sound of the needle hitting the record at the beginning, because, dammit... I miss that sound sometimes!

Mega Acieeed (Medley) - Various Artists

Treat Me Like a Blog

Here is the Depeche Mode track I've been promising...

The original version is 9:38. My edit comes in at 6:01. Much more accommodating, I think. And it gets us to the doo wop end of the track sooner, one of my fav bits of DM.

Depeche Mode - Master And Servant (Slavery Whip Mix) (KFB Edit)

Blastmaster Breaks Medley!

I bought this 2-disc vinyl compilation when it was originally released, and recently made a medley of most of the tracks in pro tools. No mixin', no scratchin'... just editin'...

I also sprinkled some of my favorite samples on top... south park, sherlock holmes, american idol, willy wonka, even my yoga teacher makes an appearance.

You can find all the original tracks here (excellent blog!)

Blastmaster Radio Medley (KFB)

My Favorite Song of All Time!

I heard this one time only on a college radio station 20 years ago, and finally found it on the internet 6 months ago. God bless the internet.

My First Mashup!

It's Earth Day, so I have to put the Depeche Mode track on hold again and find something more suitable. I started fooling around with Ableton Live, and my first mash-up has a very appropriate South Park sample. Enjoy!

Jungle Cell Soft Boogie (KFB)

Towelie Makes An Appearance!!!

I was about to post a Depeche Mode track, when I remembered what day it is! So, I pushed my short-term memory to the limit, recalling any and all pot related songs or samples in my possession. And it was soon obvious... I had to quit bogarting this one particular track and share it with the world.

These are really the first two tracks of a longer mix I put together, and it is memorable (to me) for the opening sample, my favorite sample OF ALL TIME. And it comes from one of my favorite tv shows OF ALL TIME. I won't tell you what it is, I'll only give you a clue, but if you ever come across it (on A&E sometimes), the visuals are as excellent as the audio. (And no, it's not South Park, even though Towelie is one of my favorite fictional characters OF ALL TIME.)

The other tracks are the Razormaid mixes of an Information Society Medley and Microchip League's New York New York. Towelie makes a brief appearance at the end. Enjoy, dude.

Come Into My Bouncy Sanctum (Medley) - KFB

Just a Squirrel Trying To Get A Nut...!

...to move you butt! So everybody dance now!

When I was a wee young dj, I was subbed for a friend (good ole Chris Cook) at a new club. During my two hour set, only one person appeared, mainly because a hot, new club had opened a block away. Disheartening, but I remember this girl really danced her ass off! Never talked to me and barely made eye contact that I recall, but she just danced like no one was watching (even though I certainly was). So that made it worthwhile. This was one of the tracks she danced to.


Everybody Dance Now (Remix) (KFB Edit) - C&C Music Factory

My favorite band

A major surprise is that it has taken me four posts before mentioning my favorite band, the Pet Shop Boys. My love of their music is legendary, and it is a love that spans decades, more than half my life. It is strange that I can be gushing like a giddy girl about such things, but fuckit, I love the Pet Shop Boys!

There are few PSB tracks I've felt the need to edit... but this b-side from the Minimal single had an atrocious mid-section, and much too brief ending. So I fixed it for them.

Blue On Blue (KFB Edit) - Pet Shop Boys

Without Love, Where Would You Be Now?!

One of my favorite secret weapons, I first heard this track played in the early 90s by long-time DJ friend Chris Cook of SF. The original version is 9:22 and I chopped out about 4:00 of instrumental in the middle to get straight to the meat of the track, the Doobie Brothers!

I love the opening, I love the message and I love everything else about this track. Enjoy.

Long Train Running (Sure is Pure Mix) (KFB Edit) - Doobie Brothers

It Has To Be Funky!

Everyone loves the original Funkytown, but I am rather fond of the 80s cover by Pseudo Echo as well. Rousing, high energy, slick production, and some nice techno on the 12". As usual, I used the 12" mix as the basis for my re-edit, and I'm very pleased with this one. Enjoy.

On This, The Occasion of My 1st Post!

I'll offer the track that changed my life. When I first heard it, I transformed in 8 minutes from angst-ridden teenage metal-head to dance/electronica aficionado.
