@Torley - Well thankyou!

I have just finished my new JT mashup - so please feel free to leech it from here -

'LoveStoned' overlayed with this new tune doing the rounds - 'The Creeps' cheesy anthemic blaster.

Regards,

Christian

P.S - BT is my all time favourite producer also, so check out some older mashups I did - http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=BL1TZEN

('CjR' had been taken in Youtube so I resorted to my old 'Quake' alias!)

..and email me at Blitzen72@hotmail.co.uk and tell me what you think.

@CjR: Awesome to see ya here! "My Suffering Love (CjR Mix)" is definitely amongst my top fave mashups I've ever listened to yet. So delicious and catchy.

Thanks for liking my "JT mashup"..

I KIND of disagree with what `Bloke` said about how easy it is to do..

If this WAS the case, then half the "Mashups" I have ever heard wouldn't sound shit…out of pitch…tempo'd all wrong etc..

bloke: You're a bootleg maker yourself! Thx for the pointer, I do like how you took that retro cover and retooled it for your rather hybrid purposes.

well, if you ever have use of a download manager and have an short eternity to listen to things then my take on ye olde bootleg mixes at http://www.musicremixed.org/frenchbloke/

a pile of throwaway items ranging from the Euromasters to Craig David,
from J-lo to Alien Sex Fiend and so on an apologies to music lovers everywhere

@bloke de france: I was very much surprised to listen to a Radio Clash installment and hear "Second Life" mentioned! I'm amazed at all the tools we presently have (with more to come!) that allow us to do easy matching of beats and key.

I find it very funny when vocals are pitched way DOWN, as in screwed 'n' chopped-type urban music.

One of my fave producers of all time is BT (Brian Transeau), here with an amazing mashup of an Earth, Wind, & Fire song + an Elite Force track and some snare rolls and fancy FX of his own devising:

re: radio clash - tim is very much alive and well and broadcasts in SL as DJNoNo Ulysses.

the dreaded 'm' word (they were called bootlegs back in my day) are rather easy to do providing you can count, aren't tone-deaf and have a sense of humour.

some basic knowledge is a must ie: 8t does not equal 4/4 and pitching up vocals until they're chipmunks aren't anyone's idea of a good time, unless you have a thing for chipmunks. oh, and rap+rock=bad (well, not so much bad, more tired and lazy)

there's a worrying amount of 'm' word producers in SL at present. I have tried forming a lynch mob armed with pointy sticks, sadly to no avail.
