Reggie Watts: Out of Control

Comedian Reggie Watts uses a Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler loop-slash-distortion pedal to make vocal beats and do some really trippy crazy stuff on top of it. Check it out y'all:



This guy is pretty funny / awesome / weird and I'm diggin' on the science he's putting down.

Humanthesizer = HOLY CRAP!

Humans. Conducting midi signals. Hot women in bikinis.



Thanks, boingboing for turning me on to this.

Millioniser 2000

Dr. Manhattan gives us a demo into the future of synth blowing. Thanks a million to Phil for sending this to me.



I was honestly pretty unsure if this was really a new thing or actually from the '80s... until the jam session at the end.

The Nice Guys: The Hyphy Experience

It all started last Saturday evening. Nate Jones pulls into our driveway honking his horn, ecstatic about this thing he's discovered called "gettin' hyphy" or "goin' dumb." Many a Bay Area resident may be familiar with this youth craze among kids that bump Mac Dre and ghost ride their parents' whips into telephone poles. Nate Jones recognized it as the perfect opportunity to enthuse the locals on the streets of LA along with CB and a film crew ( me and Andy Mill$$ ).

Guerilla style filmmaking at its finest.

MEGAWEAPON: Rabbit Hole (iNdigo) remix

I promised my buddy Steven that I'd finish this remix for him about a year ago. I got about halfway done and wasn't feelin' it, so I let it sit on the shelf for a while. Then as I was backing up all my "unreleased" music (as if any of my music is truly "released") over the weekend I stumbled across this little unfinished ditty and ended up locking the rest of it down. And then I put it up on this cool site that's gonna let me stream tunes here... sweet! Just goes to show you that sometimes you gotta let things marinate before they can be fully realized. The MEGAWEAPON abides.

Movie Magic with MJ

Here's a video I pooped out on the side to grace youtube until The Man shuts me down for ripping off some copyrighted video footage. It's an experimentation with an effect that usually looks cooler, a kind of scan line offsetting that makes people look like they're twisting, or in outer space or something. I did it by literally chopping the video into little pieces that were each offset by a few frames.

Chinatown Cypher

Here's a few snippets of a recording I did on my phone of the cypher outside the Grand Star Jazz Club in Chinatown after the Onra show. I love it just for the Michael Jackson beats by Dibiase. Somehow these guys riffin' over MJ's music in some late night session makes way more sense than all the media hype going on. Beat it.
