“Real music is crash protected,” state the liner notes of “Black Radio”, the newest album by the Robert Glasper Experiment that boldly stakes out new musical territory and transcends any notion of genre, drawing from jazz, hip-hop, R&B and rock, but refusing to be pinned down by any one tag. And pushing further the experiment, “Move Love” featuring the soul trio KING, drummer Chris Dave, bassist Derrick Hodge, multi-instrumentalist Casey Benjamin, was set for remix at Indaba Music.
I bring up my noisy, dubstep flavored synths, some tensioned jazz bass and severe cellos, asked a favor to a brilliant drummer, Thomas O’Brien, and delivered a quite different version of this song working exclusively with Robert Glasper piano track and the vocal track. I’m quite pleased by the result, this is definitively a genre-defying remix. Read more Robert Glasper Experiment – Black Radio (2012) and remix contest!

Field Frequency
Yesterday, Friday 13, was a quite odd day. But after all I managed to get over it. Just to face another task today. 😀
The Weekly Brief is an on-going program to source specific, high-quality music for Indaba‘s non-exclusive licensing catalog.
In this inaugural edition of their weekly commissions, they’re reaching out to the artists of Indaba to compose an adrenaline-fueled score for this snowboarding footage. I delivered a quick, noisy one for this one, kind of clash between Black Sabbath and Ministry… Check it out, hope you enjoy it. 😉 Read more Field Frequency
Mr. Pan[k]sament – Mashed, Scratched, Trashed (2011)
Free download, but this isn’t a regular album, rather a collection of remixes, but featuring two original songs and the cover of Nine Inch Nails’s “Hurt”.
Regarding my remixes, as a fellow producer noticed, I do some creative work, actually I re-write, re-perform most of the instruments, not only “remixing” the songs, so this might be an exciting listening mainly for those who know the originals, but not exclusively for them. I twisted off, smashed and mashed, scratched and trashed songs by Nine Inch Nails, Ghostland Observatory, Paper Diamond, Archnemesis, Lloyd Banks, Peter Gabriel, Jane’s Addiction, She Wants Revenge, Jessie and the Toy Boys, WormZ and Family Force 5.
Download, have fun, Happy Holidays Everybody! Read more Mr. Pan[k]sament – Mashed, Scratched, Trashed (2011)
Free releases. Mr. Pan[k]sament
I have in mind lots of shit such as: “Money, money, money, must be funny in the rich man’s world”, “Now look at them yo-yo’s that’s the way you do it, you play the guitar on the MTV, that ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it, money for nothin’ and chicks for free”, “Money don’t matter tonight, it sure didn’t matter yesterday, just when you think you’ve got more than enough, that’s when it all up and flies away” or “Money – it’s a gas, grab that cash with both hands and make a stash, new car, caviar, four star daydream, think I’ll buy me a football team”… Get the point, don’t ya?
As I said and repeat not for once, everybody sings, nobody listen anymore. And well, with this downfall of the global markets and this over-saturated music scene, actually nobody gives a shit anymore about anybody. So, all my releases are available for free download.

New track – I Hate the Blues, London’s Calling Version
I was busy with lot of other things – mainly with putting this site on wheels and make it running – so, I had to delay the release of the album “The Ghost of the Absent Father”. But I worked on some new songs and I send this one – recorded originally with the boys from Oedip Piaf on 24 February 2011 – to Mr. Winteller to London and once again he came up with some interesting adds on, write and perform some guitar, bass and additional sampler and effect tracks for my tunes. Nice job, thanks a lot!
I still have some technical difficulties with the platform of my site, so, you can listen the new track HERE. I hope you will enjoy it much as I do!
