Time for a cover! I’ve always been a fan of Jan Hammer’s 80s pop synth magic (Police Quest 3 Soundtrack FTW!), so here is my take on his classic Miami Vice track “Crockett’s Theme”. (You kids might also remember it from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City).

As you may know by now I’ve entered two remixes into the Major Lazer remix competition. They are currently sitting at around the middle (49th and 69th respectively), but thanks to you they are rising fast! So please get in there and vote for them. Registering isn’t strictly necessary, but if you do your vote is worth 1000x more!

Just click each of these and hit “I Like This”! (Because you do, right?)

Major Lazer - Pon De Floor (GenErik’s Raggabast Mix)

My second entry for the Major Lazer competition. Had to give it a go, since I enjoyed making my first (non competition) entry so much. This one continues in the vein of mixing ragga and some junglist drum’n’bass.

Modest Mouse - Float On (GenErik’s OK Remix)

On a roll today. Two uploads in one day? Woot! Modest Mouse gets a pretty straight electronicification of my favourite track of theirs Float On. It floats on all right.

Monophobe - Nothing Here

In the spirit of the Beatles remastered box sets, I thought I’d provide you with a remastered classic as well. Monophobe, my previous band, was/is a collaboration with song writer Angelo Cannavo, a stable of guest vocalists and myself. Adhering to no particular genre we would mix pop, rock and electronica before it was fashionable to do so.

Nothing Here was one of our final collaborations before I headed for Australia. It is an unassuming sweet pop song laid on top of some of a beat composed of pure noise (tracked chiptune style on an old module-based music tracker).

Here in a much improved master is a song that I feel should have gotten a bit more attention than it did when we made the demo in 2004.

My first mashup by request. Gumbuoy wanted to hear Lil Jon with the Beach Boys. Don’t ask me why.

M.I.A. - Bucky Done Gun (GenErik Kaplermix)

A gritty, dirty and noisy remix of M.I.A.’s classic Bucky Done Gun. I doubt I need to say more than that. Also check it out over at Soundcloud, where you can comment on specific parts of the track. It’s trés cool!

Passion Pit - Sleepyhead (GenErik’s Awake Remix)

Remixing Passion Pit probably is tantamount to blasphemy in many circles. Nevertheless, I have taken a crack at it. Pumping beats, keeping in the spirit of Passion Pit’s experimental sound, but with a little less pop and a lot more pump.

Enjoy.

Updated with new master 12 Jun 2009.

A second, more fun remix (last one was a bit too straightforward and boring IMO). This one features cut up guitars, thumping floor shattering bass*, and a guest spot from everyone’s favourite storytelling bogan: Clare Werbeloff!

This is a relic. My oldest kept song. I’ve dated it to be most likely from 1996, which would make it 13 years old today. I remember I created it specifically to fit with the first video I ever edited. It was done on a Mac IIsi on a demo version of Premiere 4.2 containing found QuickTime footage from CD-ROMs and early internet.

I actually quite like it for what it is. Thumping breakbeats, screeching synths and a sampled scream. The footage was of downhill skiing mostly. Very adrenalin-filled:

My first crack at a Snob Scrilla remix. This one just came about playing with the acapella. It’s a pretty straight forward remix, but I think it came out pretty well. Definitely grows on you.

Chilled balearic summer house. Rather HedKandi-ish to be honest. Just the way Francesca likes it. And I hope you do too:
