Friends Of Friends Vol.3

KING CANNIBAL SAYS…

L.A based Friends Of Friends releases a third of its on-going split release series. Jahcoozi’s Robot Koch and Mexicans With Guns are the two artists heading up this volume. I was approached to contribute a remix of Overnight just before my return trip to Low End Theory (and what a night that was) after Jahcoozi’s guest appearance on my track Murder Us. Coincidentally much like my work on our first hook up, this one fell after a trip to Berlin, hooking up with Jahcoozi’s gifted front woman Sasha Perera and a night out at the Berghain (which this time i was lucky enough to be playing at).  So much like Murder Us this continues the dark house / techno sound, this time a little looser  and a lot more intimate in sound. The release is out  October 5th, but you can preview a slice of my remix below followed by the full tracklisting.

Also both myself and mr Robot Koch are appearing  in Birmingham on July 30th, alongside Illum Sphere at Under The Counter.

Crackdown 2

KING CANNIBAL SAYS….

I’m happy to say that my fist slice of video game music is out now! I won’t go in to the specifics of Crackdown 2, the X-Box game itself but the tracklisting is notable indeed. The Bug, El-B, Dan The Automator and plenty more tackle punk & alt classics such as Public Enemy, The Damned, 7 Seconds and The Afflicted. A Full tracklisting can be found HERE. I’ve uploaded a snippet of my first version of the Smash It Up remix,  the final version on the release is v.5 and was boiled down to keep drop outs to a minimum as well as a ton of breaks added. I do still really like this initial version still, hence me wanting people to hear it. Also this sort of thing may shed a little light on the process involved in working in this environment, as i say i completed 5 versions before Microsoft felt like it was 100% correct for the game and scene it features in. I did also attempt a remix of The Afflicted’s ‘Here Come The Cops’ and have to congratulate El-B on being able to work with the source material.   Aragami Style & A Shining Force also feature in game.

Hexstatic – Trailer Trax & Video Mix

On Solid Steel this week Hexstatic celebrate the release of their ‘Trailer Trax’ album and also supply us with another video mix based on the accompanying AV show. Taking it’s lead from the cheese of drive-in cinema trailers, ‘Grindhouse’ style movies and those Saturday Morning Cinema shorts of all our youths,..we see and hear these elements sliced and diced with techno, dubstep, dancehall and drum and bass rhythms into a whipped up frenzy that’s ‘now available in the foyer!’
See ‘The Mighty Gammera’ destroy Tokyo in a flash, ‘Galaxy Invaders’ scare
rednecks with ill fitting plastic suits…See an ‘Embryo’ grow in a
day,…learn some ‘Skateboard Sense’.. and don’t forget to have a drink in
our ‘Hollywood Bar’ at intermission! Mix in some other favorites from the likes of The Prodigy, Akira Kiteshi and DJ Hazard and you have one Blockbuster of a mix!

‘Trailer Trax’ released 24th may 2010. Purchase the full album from
Bandcamp, iTunes or Amazon disk on demand and get the free download link for
this iPod compatible video mix!

You can find the track list and catch up with all the latest shows, video mixes, photos and club news at the Solid Steel website.

NINJA TUNE XX

KING CANNIBAL SAYS…. “Twenty years! Twenty fu*king years!? That’s a long time for anything,but for an independent record label it’s aeons. So yes, we are going to make a fuss. Yes, we are going to celebrate.” For the announcement of Ninja’s impending 20 year birthday i’ve put together a few mixes to accompany trailers. You might be forgiven for not noticing my involvement as my name hasn’t been creditted to them.  The first was a 30 second megamix (which stretched out to being 39 seconds… my bad) which i did going in blind – i hadn’t seen any visuals by then and they were then placed over the mix and used as an initial teaser trailer…

The Second and newest mix that accompanied the press announcement of the Ninja Tune XX boxset and launch of the website . On this occasion i had the video and a mix already existing for it, and  job was to create a new mix, better hooked in with the visuals. Working this way worked a lot more in my favour allowing me to hook events in the video together with the audio which i think makes for a better trailer.

Svovelskyer over Nord-Europa

Spykidelic Writes:

Svovelskyer over Nord-Europa is my second mix for my friends Type Records:

“Svovelskyer over Nord-Europa (Sulfur Clouds over Northern Europe) was
put together as volcanic dust clouds from Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull
volcano were descending over Northern Europe, grounding air fleet and
leaving much of Iceland covered in black ash. Much of the mix does
include music from Northern European but there’s no theme as such,
just a bunch of stuff I like that seemed to work in sequence.”

King Cannibal in Miami this week & L.A / Belfast the next.

KING CANNIBAL SPRAYS…

Its Joe Vs The Volcano part 2 this weekend as i do my best to defy the fate of Pompeii and make it over to Miami (my first time) for Smut & Bass at The Awarehouse to get busy and get filthy. The next morning i’ll be heading over to L.A ahead of my return to Low End Theory at The Airliner on the 28th. anyone who spoke to me or reads my facebook or twitter will no doubt remember me raving about this place upon my return from my last U.S tour. Rightly so too….  when i get back i’ll be hoping from one airport to another in order to catch a flight out to Belfast to play Diston @ The Art College. Come join me why don’t you, i promise to bite.

King Cannibal April chart attack

KING CANNIBAL SAYS…

As you may have noticed, i’ve been a bit slack with the blog recently. Could this be that i’m working on the next album, and that it also happens to be Ninja’s 20th birthday this year and i’m working on projects for that? Possibly. Possibly.

There is always time for record shopping though, and here is what i’ve been enjoying recently.

Dausteg: Animism Vs A.I (Live in Riga 19/2/10)

Spykidelic Writes:

On February 19th 2010, Dausteg (Tony F Wilson and Are Mokkelbost) traveled to Riga to play what was supposed to be a support slot for fellow countrymen Supersilent. However, Supersilent canceled on the day but Dausteg went ahead at a different venue than planned. This Dausteg, which was themed on Animism Vs Artificial Intelligence, took place at Riga’s fantastic Dirty Deal Cafe venue. Grab it here Dausteg: Animism Vs A.I

Remix Flower Of Flesh And Blood..

Want to remix Flower Of Flesh And Blood? The last track from my ‘Let The Night Roar’ out on Ninja Tune late last year? The one that got good reviews? You know…. with the bassline and stuff?

OH … You Do? Excellent.

Check the link below for the mixer stems.

Upload your results and let me hear them, my email address can be found by using the subscribe to mailing list button over there on the top right.

PLEASE NOTE:

I think in retrospect (this an older file here remember) the stems may be a bit odd, as i recorded out the individual stems of my mixer’s channels… meaning some same sounds can be heard over to different files. Obviously this isn’t ideal so i will try and upload the logic file and bounced audio files too.

Looking at things like this really remind me how luck i am to be able to do this sort of thing, let alone get paid for it too.
