Collected Mashups Vol. 2: The Videos

Following up on my last post, here are all the extant videos for Collected Mashups Vol. 2a and Vol. 2b (no videos have been produced for Vol. 2c). I made two of these myself, but most were made by people who liked my stuff enough to make fan videos and/or use them as soundtracks to whatever cool things they were doing, and were decent enough to credit them. To me, there is no greater compliment, and I have duly credited these video-makers.

All of the featured mashups are available for free download as part of the albums in the links above or individually via hearthis.at.

Enjoy & Have Fun! Love, DJ not-I

(P.S. My three recommendations are marked with *)

1.* Trans Planet Insomnia (Kraftwerk vs. Faithless vs. Afrika Bambaataa & The Soulsonic Force) (Video by not-I)

Collected Mashups Vol. 1: The Videos

Following the release of volume three of the Collected Mashups series, and with volume four on the way, I thought this might be a good opportunity to post some video retrospectives, starting with the videos for volume one. Many of these were made by me, many were made by others, some of them have been blocked on Youtube in certain countries, and some of them are only available on Vimeo, all of which is duly noted below. 

All of the original audio mashups are downloadable as part of the Collected Mashups Vol. 1 double-album or individually at hearthis.at. Now let's get this party started!

1. Heart-Shaped Sky (Blackalicious vs. Nirvana) (video by GonzoJam)

 
Prom Night Of The Dead (DJ Not-I AMV) from MindlessGonzo Productions on Vimeo.

2. Feel All Apologies (Blackalicious vs. Nirvana) (video by Chrysler76)

Collected Mashups Vol. 2b: The Sohei Album Sampler

The Sōhei Album Sampler - "Hip-Hop Mash Attack." Full of vigor, hip-hop sensibilities, and "fighting spirit" and produced almost entirely from vinyl sources, this was my first attempt at a proper album, which turned out as an EP-length "album sampler." Started in late 2006 and released in January 2007, these songs actually preceded those of Collected Mashups Vol. 2a. I am still quite proud of them. The sampler includes the internet hits: "Fergie Must Go," "Pass The Chunfly," and "Stranglehold Friday".

Originally, I had planned to release an entire CD-length work called The Sōhei Album. Many of the songs I had intended to include were gradually released as singles, though several unreleased tracks in various states of completion still remain on my old hard drive . The Collected Mashups series will eventually feature them as well, perhaps as the last volume.

I offer this long-unavailable EP as Vol. 2b in the series. I hope you enjoy it!

Love, not-I.

Irie 5+5 EP (Collected Mashups Sampler One)

With over 200 mashups to my name and my intention to release a new CD-length volume every month or two, the Collected Mashups Series is going to take a while to release, especially with the special bonus tunes (remixes, remasters, instrumentals, and previously unreleased stuff) I plan to include along the way.

Due to popular demand, and with many of my most well-known mashups currently off-line, I've decided to also release a few Collected Mashups Series samplers (EPs), which include tracks from my entire 2004-2011 "oeuvre," assembled according to specific themes. This is the first such sampler, and since summer has finally arrived, I was inspired last weekend to collect ten of my reggae/dub/dancehall mashups in one EP. Have fun and stay irie!

Love, ~I

Collected Mashups Vol. 1: MashAnthology (deluxe edition)

At long last, the first volume of the DJ not-I collected mashup retrospective series is finally available. As previously stated, with my semi-retirement from eight years of mashup-making to embark on original musical adventures, I'm releasing the entirety of my blend/bootleg/bastard-pop oeuvre in a series of mp3 albums, featuring all your favorite mashups of mine as well as special remixes, instrumentals, and previously unreleased tracks.

The journey begins here, with MashAnthology, a collection that ranges from my earliest efforts to some of my biggest "hits" made between 2004 and 2006. Though I released a previous version of this particular album, this is the definitive and deluxe edition which features several remixes, remasters, instrumentals and radio versions, many of them recently produced especially for the Collected Mashup series.

MashAnthology is all about "beginner's mind" (i.e. the initial thrill I found in juxtaposing various tunes, and the occasionally rough production values that went with it) and the utter eclecticism in the choice of sources, which was to become my trademark style. Although most of the tracks on this album use rap vocals, this is by no means a strictly hip-hop affair, and the compositions range from electronic to grunge to jazz to metal to pop to soul to world music. Rhythm is at center stage here, but my later emphasis on melody and harmony (or, as some of my mashup colleagues might say, my obsession with key) is clearly evident.

Enjoy and stay tuned for Collected Mashups Vol. II: The Sōhei Album, the majority of which will consist of previously-unreleased material!

Love, ~I

Hi There, Welcome, and Happy New Year!

With the dawning of 2012, I've decided to set up a new site. This blog is intended to be a permanent repository and hub for all DJ not-I productions past, present and future.

With my semi-retirement from mashup-making to pursue original avenues, I am assembling all my previous blends/mashups/bootlegs into CD-length volumes as a kind of chronological Collected Works series. In addition to the original mixes you may know and love, each volume will contain several unreleased tracks, including some instrumentals, radio versions, and remixes, as well as complete artwork and liner notes. I plan to release one two-disc volume per month. Volume One is on the way.

I'll also be (re-)posting the various DJ not-I-related material that has accumulated over the years, including mashup videos, mixes, podcasts, remixes, and miscellanea.

In the meantime, you may wish to check out my Facebook page, my Twitter feed, or my Youtube channel.

Thanks for visiting. Here's wishing you all the best for the coming year!

Love ~I
