Beastie Boys / Family Ties mashup

September 4th, 2011 | By funky49

People love my Beastie Boys remix with the Trading Spaces theme song. Because of a tweet by @DJTightyWhitey I was inspired to make a song with the Family Ties theme. It’s short. It just uses verses from Adrock. It’s awesome.

It’s also dedicated to @DJTightyWhitey and @krebstar and everyone else having a birthday (MegaRan, Rappy, etc). Adults sure like to crank down in January. Must be the cold weather in most of the northern hemisphere, right?

If you liked that Owl City – Fireflies song, you’ll probably hate my remix.

Give it a listen and share it with others if you dig it. The music video is awesome.

New Remix! Roommate from Hell!

download!

Roommate from Hell! You know, the MC Lars song with mc chris? It’s now in my mp3/discography section! It’s a jungle remix that uses the devil’s tritone. All notes are 3 half-steps apart (or 1.5 steps) for an evil sound.

It also has me playing with my new studio toy, the Novation Nocturn. I assigned it to one of the effects that is chewing up the Amen break.

There are a few remixes of this song on MC Lars‘ website but none of that mashed up Amen breakbeat sound that mine does! Thanks to @redvoid for giving some constructive crits on the track.

Please download, share and enjoy!

Notes:

I bulldozed the original hook and intro. I pitched down the lars hook and made a ‘response’ from chris by taking what I really liked from the last part of mc chris’ outro thingy. I used Acid to arrange the track and chop up the Amens. When I was happy with the macro elements, I pulled them into ProTools. I consciously tried not to use Reason as an excuse to use PTLE8′s Vacuum for the bassline (Vacuum rocks!) and Xpand2 for the pad.

The song is really pretty simple: A pad, a bassline, vocals and beats but I like it. For bonus points, can you id the evil laugh sample in the breakdown before the chris verse?
