Mixes to Close-Out 2010

By deactivated-6109c8479bb3d December 11, 2010 1 Comments

Greetings, to whomever drops by this humble blog. I've decided to post my mixes for good ol' twenty-ten. But before that: a little backstory.
 
*ahem*
 
I was just wandering the internets and frequenting some random sites, and one of my favorite sites, Too Many Sebastians. Keep in mind, the remixes they offer there are purely promotional. If it can be downloaded, it was already meant to be free. Sorry for that disclaimer, MOVING ON.
 
So, I downloaded a few remixes here and there. Then a thought occurred to me: "how in the world am I going to keep all of these loose tracks in any order in my iTunes/iPod?" I came up with the idea of creating a compilation album, much like the mix CDs I've done before. "OK, cool", I thought. I renamed it "Interpretations", because it was primarily a compilation of the best remixes (what I thought were the best) of 2010.
 
So, I did that. Interpretations: Volume One was born. Then, I thought to myself: "well, how about you actually start making actual mixes instead of these lame segmented mixes you keep doing. Ya know, like a real mixer." "Yeahhhh", I said to myself. So I found a program called Mixmeister, and Interpretations: Volume Two was born. It's my first "true" seamless mix, but, hey, I'm proud of it's amateur-ness. I made the covers too.
 
And now I've decided to unleash it upon... err... "share" it on the internets. Specifically the awesome GB community. Story time's over. Enjoy.

Comments: Track 6, for some reason, is my favorite of the bunch. But I still think Allen Walker (a real up-and-comer, and only 19 yrs old) and Alex Metric have done some real magic on Gorillaz materials.

Before we close out this blog, I'd like to share two more things:
 
As mentioned before, Mr. Allen Walker (probably not even his real name) has got some real chops. Let me share this unfinished remix:

Lastly, two prolific Japanese DJs, Bazz and Kido Yoji, join forces to make... alternative post-rock music? I dunno, but I LIKE IT.
