Sulfuric / Ianize (7" Single)

Sulfuric 7"

Here are a pair of original tracks released as a virtual 7" single -- one track recruiting the talent of Spelchex (of The Foggy Notions, World Echo) and another sampling the talent of 6 year-old drummer Ian S. (son of Spelchex) for a surpising heavy and groovy breakbeat track.

A: Sulfuric - an instrumental buzz combining breaks and house drum samples edited by World Famous Audio Hacker with live bass and slide guitar performed by Spelchex. The combination makes for a modern psychedelic surf beach production.

B: Ianize - an all drum track produced with the style of DJ Icey and early Chemical Brothers in mind. The main live drums were performed by 6-year old drummer Ian S. and were then edited and remixed with additional breaks and percussion added later by World Famous Audio Hacker.

Both these tracks are available for full stream and download from Last.FM as well as a part of the ongoing Dark Splice Of The Boom album being organized for release on Last.FM.

94.7 Gets Local with WFAH

Big ups and thanks to Squid of 94.7 FM here in Portland for playing out my recent mix-up of Death Cab For Cutie's "I Will Possess Your Heart" tonight on the "Get Local" segment at 8:00. In fact, this might mark the very first time they played out a remix artist in their traditional local artist nightly spot! Anyway, cheers to Squid for his support of local artists, local DJs and the mashup community all at once.

If you're visiting and want to give my remix "I Will Possess Your Bitstream" a chance to tout around town in your iPod, click here to download it.

...or hear it in Episode #100 of Ramdom Thoughts.

K. Wows M.

K. Wows M. (Into The Groove vs. Wow)
HACK-10-PROMO.

In theory, this is what we'll call a "single edit" of a track that was built to be included in a larger project. I'm constantly guilty of abandoning big projects, so here it is for now.

A1: K. Wows M. (7" Edit)
B1: K. Wows M. (LP Version)

Features elements derived from Madonna, Kylie Minogue, CSS, MSTRKRFT, Depeche Mode and samples from the movie "Army Of Darkness". The LP version is slightly extended.

Original release: March 04 2008.

Paper Planes (Big Beat Cut & Run)

World Famous Audio Hacker vs. M.I.A. - "Paper Planes"
Virtual 7" single. HACK-09.

Side A: Paper Planes (Big Beat Cut & Run)
Side B: Paper Planes (Bonus Beats)

OK, after wrapping up the singles box set, I can roll back into 2008 again. Here is the first remix/mashup I produced from 2008. It is a production that is based on M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" and is derived of elements from Van Halen "Runnin' With The Devil", Tears For Fears "Shout", The Beatles "Come Together", Paula Abdul "Straight Up" with additional remix and production by me.

I still love the M.I.A. song "Paper Planes" and spent most of December and January toying around with several ideas on remixing the song. I wound out producing three different versions for my iPod'd drive to and from work, and the Big Beat Cut & Run version seemed like the one I was enjoying the most. Shortly after originally posting it, Aggro1 asked for an instrumental version of it, which is provided here as well as the "bonus beats" version.

I was at one point planning to create a full extended version of this mix, but have found myself moving along. So, here is the final "7-inch" release.

Original release: February 4, 2008. Catalog No. HACK-09.

World Famous Audio Hacker Singles Virtual Box Set

Here it is: An 8-CD virtual CD singles box set featuring the best and the worst of World Famous Audio Hacker productions ranging from 2004 to 2007, featuring material originally released also under the Daft Monkey and Noisehead aliases early on.

The idea was to bind the older material together into smaller packages of EPs and virtual singles, rather than the full length 3 CD collection "Daftology" put out earlier in 2007. Some additional material is included as well as the previously lost track "A Forest (Dirt Mix)".

CD1: "Party Ben Is Playing At My House" EP (5 tracks; May 2005)
CD2: "Queens Never End" EP (4 tracks; Feb. 2006)
CD3: "Beverly Hills Lion" EP (4 tracks; March 2006)
CD4: "Promiscuous Mama" EP (4 tracks; Sept. 2006)
CD5: "Forest Dirt" EP (5 tracks; April 2007)
CD6: "Do It Well" EP (6 tracks; October 2006-August 2007)
CD7: "Compiled" EP (5 tracks; December 2007)
CD8: "Timebomb" 7" (2 tracks; December 2007)

I hope you enjoy one or two finds amongst these older tracks. I'll be re-posting my "Paper Planes" remix and by "K. Wows M." tracks soon as the beginning of getting new material up next.
