Onomatopoeia Exclusive Download: /ˈjedˌīak/ - "Drowning Bird" (Eminem vs. BANKS) & "Falling Horse" Katy Perry vs. BANKS)

Happy Friday! I figured why not share some more exclusives as we end the work week and approach the freedom of the weekend. I got two new remix/mashups to gift you, both featuring music from BANKS. 

First up is “Drowning Bird” which pairs up Eminem’s “Mocking Bird” with one of Jillian’s bigger hits, “Drowning.”  The Soundcloud police said no can do in regards to uploading and sharing of this bad boy but our standby Mixcloud has absolutely no issues with the untouched BANKS intro and let me proceed. For those who grabbed our latest edition of the Onomatopoeia Playlist Series earlier in the week you already got the tune ahead of everyone else as part of that package so good on you.

Onomatopoeia Exclusive Download: /ˈjedˌīak/ - “Burning Chvrches EP” (Chvrches vs. Michael Jackson, Empire Of The Sun, Sean Paul, R. Kelly, Katy Perry)

Happy Sunday y’all, the lords day as some folks would call it, seemed only appropriate to release a new ep by the name of Burning Chvrches.  It’s amazing how much you can get done in twelve hours if you buckle down and focus. What I have for your listening enjoyment below is five remix/mashup’s that offer a taste of the ten or so I completed yesterday using the instrumentals from Chvrches' Bones Of What You Believe LP.  I tried to jump around a bit with the acapellas and leave the hip hop on the side lines this time choosing to focus on pop, R&B and reggaeton; with the likes of Michael Jackson, Empire Of The Sun, R. Kelly, Katy Perry and Sean Paul guiding me. Visit the player below to listen, download and share.

Onomatopoeia Exclusive Download: /ˈjedˌīak/ - “Members Only EP ” Lorde vs. The Beastie Boys vs. G Unit

Day three of our super special Labor Day week of exclusive remix’s’and I’ve got another two song set for y’all to enjoy; I’m calling this one the Members Only EP and Lorde’s “The Love Club” set’s the backing for the two acapella’s of choice. First up, The  Beastie Boys’ “Body Movin’,”  a song that I actually never really liked; at least not in the context of the entire Beastie’s catalogue but then again it’s a rather large and rich catalogue. Following things up is G Unit’s ”Eye For An Eye,” which unintentionally seems timely to me since they made the news by closing out Chelsea Handler’s Late Night show run earlier this week.

I actually found something in the neighborhood of 30 possible combos’ could be done using “The Love Club” as the instrumental when making a mashup. I even toyed with the idea of doing all 30, releasing one a day for an entire month but I abandoned it as it seemed like a sure fire way to make something I enjoy doing into a task.

Listen, download and share from below and look back tomorrow for the next batch of celebratory tunes.

Onomatopoeia Exclusive Download: /ˈjedˌīak/ - “Dream Lights” (Ellie Goulding vs. Beyonce) & “Smack That End” (Akon feat. Eminem vs. Shlohmo)

Day two of our exclusive remix week and I’m going with a totally different vibe than yesterday’s efforts. First up is one I finished back in July called “Dream Lights;” which feature’s Ellie Goulding’s “Lights” over Beyonce’s “Sweet Dreams.” Two older songs for sure but I thought the mix was screaming to happen, so why not by me?

Second up is something I finished up last week and that I’m actually quite pleased with. I feel the re-work totally updates the Akon vocal and brings it right back to 2014.  The Omni Echelon remix of Shlohmo & Jeremih’s “Realize The End” does most of the heavy lifting though.

On a side note it’s crazy how many different commercially released versions of “Smack That” are available out there, I think I heard at least four but the Eminem one worked best.

I also want to give a shout out to my flat mate, Jason, who provided the art for "Dream Lights," not for nothing but sometimes it feels like a factory in here pumping out all this material!

Check back tomorrow for more tunes and listen, download and share today’s features from below…

Onomatopoeia Exclusive Download: /ˈjedˌīak/ - “Cells EP” (Chance The Rapper vs. alt-J vs. Goldspot)

Labor day is fast approaching which means summer is ending with a bang of BBQ’s, weddings, and last minute beach time. Labor day also marks the three-year anniversary since I started sharing these remix’s and mashup’s; so all this week leading up the holiday I’m gonna be posting a stockpile of new tunes for ya’ll to enjoy. 

Today’s pick is the Cells EP, consisting of two songs inspired by Chance The Rapper’s “Brain Cells.”  First up is “Cell Blocks” which uses alt-J’s “Breezeblocks” as the backing tune. I created this one back in July and have been sitting, waiting, for the right moment to share it. Track two was created last night by chance (no pun intended,) and uses Gold Spot’s “It’s Getting Old, “ The end result is an indie  themed mashup experience that kind of represents my mood right now. Give them a spin from below or download for later…

As we close out the week I figured why not share another exclusive remix that’s appropriately timely with y’all on this lazy sunny Sunday. Tony Yayo teams up with Eminem and Obie Trice for some lyrical drama ala “Drama Setter” to the beat of Taylor Swift’s infamous and infectious “Shake It Off.” Stream, download and share from below…

Onomatopoeia Exclusive Download: /ˈjedˌīak/ - “Ludacris Mohawk” (Ludacris vs. Hudson Mohawk) & “Swimming Chimes” (Kendrick Lamar vs. Hudson Mohawk)

This week’s exclusive remix comes in the form of a double header with Hudson Mohawk’s “Chimes” acting as the inspiration. I tried a bunch of combos, several of them worked, many did not but these two were probably my favorite from the lot. “Ludacris Mohawk” is the cleaner and older of the two  but I’ve been wanting to use Kendrick’s “SwimmingPools” for a while now and the two fit well so despite some of that high-hat residue remaining I figured just do it!

Happy Thursday y’all! It’s been over a year since I did something for our Throwback Thursdays so I figured why not share some exclusive content with a new retro themed remix/mashup. Featuring the late, great, 2Pac Shakur’s “Komradz” and Vanessa Carlton’s mega hit from 2002 “A Thousand Miles” I give you “1000 Komradz.”  As always you can give it a spin, download, and share with others from the player below…

Onomatopoeia Exclusive Download: /ˈjedˌīak/ - Keepin’ Busy EP

Originally I had planned on sharing more exclusives with y’all on the 4th of July weekend but my computer’s graphic card burned out days before leaving me high and dry until it could be replaced. It’s probably for the best as now I have something to share this Monday morning to combat that post World Cup lull many of us will be feeling.

Keepin’ Busy is just that, three more mashup/remix’s I passed my time working on that don't necessarily share anything thematically other than the come from me and are free to listen to and share.  Featuring 2Pac, M.I.A., Eminem, Nate Dogg, BoardsOf Canada, Howie B and Glass Candy these three new tracks also mark the move into a new pro account on Sound Cloud. What does that mean exactly?   It means I’ve given away over two hours of free exclusives to you, our readers until now, and have the intent to keep on doing so and on my own dime no less!

Its day three of our holiday bonanza week of exclusives leading up to Uncle Sam’s birthday and Wednesday is going to be the most focused of the lot. Clocking in at twenty minutes☦he Rubiks Crude EP is a five song remix project dedicated to New York’s godfather of abstract Hip Hop, Mr. EL-P.

As a life-long super fan of Jamie’s work I know a lot of you find his one-two punch of off-kilter beat making and dense lyrical themes to be too hard to digest.  This EP is dedicated to all of YOU folks out there in the hopes you might get something new out of the work in this altered context that leads to a further exploration of more music that is both different and a challenge to the status quo; Or maybe you will hear something that will just make you shake your ass and bob your head, whatever works!

It’s been a moment since Chambaland and I released any new mashups under code-name Perestroika so we recently got together at one of our secret bases and decided to put our heads together to come up with some new combinations for y’all. Since its Uncle Sam’s birthday here in the U.S. we figured why not share them throughout the week in celebration of July 4th this Thursday.

But wait! 

You thought we forgot about Canada Day didn't you? Don't be silly, we would never forget our friends to the north today as they too celebrate so we decided to lead things off with “Reach For The Coffee” combining rhymsmith Aesop Rock with the recently resurfaced Boards of CANADA.
