[Rumori] mash smarter not harder

[stAllio!the original wanksta]

i don't know if this list is still alive or if anyone still reads it, but here goes...

if you're like me, you got really into the whole mashup thing around 2000-2001, back when it seemed mashups or bootlegs were going to take over the world.  mashups were everywhere, and they were exciting.  but as the months went by, the music never seemed to progress anywhere.  it was like the mashup scene had one big idea -- putting one song's vocals on top of another's instrumental -- and that was it.  what had seemed like a movement deteriorated into a trite formula.  so if you're like me, you eventually lost interest in "mashups" and moved on to other things.

one of the things i wanted to do with my new EP, mash smarter not harder, was to tap into that excitement again.  i wanted something with a lot of energy, something infectious and catchy that could inspire others to want to pick up a laptop and make music like that.  it had to be familiar and yet fresh and different.  and most important, it had to be club-friendly, something that would make people want to tear up the dance floor.

so here you have it: my new EP, mash smarter not harder.  it's a free download.  it's a bit reminiscent of Girl Talk or Jason Forrest, but a new and different take based on sample editing rather than overlapping.  it's four tracks of new post-mashup music by me, with a remix by drbmd.  i think it's some of my best and most accessible work.  i hope you'll download it, check it out, and tell your friends.
