THE INTRO GROTTO

new & old

2009-09-04T10:47:00.000-07:00

hello!

this blog is, in case anyone fails to notice, as good as dead. been focused mostly on djing lately, and also working. doesn't seem like that's about to change much, either. however, today i got bored cleaning my apartment and this resulted in about 30 mins spent on mixing metric with seth troxler. ehm. not sure how successful a blend it is but might as well put it out there and let people decide for themselves what they think.

and since i have occasionally been asked about my old mashes, i've also put them on a new host where they hopefully won't be removed anytime soon.

you'll find both new and old, as well as a dj set, at http://www.mediafire.com/zonkthebass

cheers!

apparently it's the 25th anniversary of jacko's thriller album (did i get that right?), and what better way to celebrate it than with a beefy over-compressed bigroom cheesy ass remix? not necessarily my cup of tea, but i'm absolutely certain that this will set dancefloors alight if dropped at the right place at the right time. would you agree?

powerless frequency - now on video!

the very nice mr. gutthell over at mymusiclinks4u has put together a video for my latest mash! totally unexpected and somewhat flattering - have a look at it on youtube. and if you find yourself lovin' it, and/or anything else on this site, why not join us on facebook?

merry christmas, happy new year and all that. here's our christmas gift for you - another inter gritty mash. i realise that many people don't recognise the nelly track but it is in fact the first single from her overlooked second album. a great song in my opinion, but it was pretty much ignored by the media at the time. figured it could be even better if i replaced the banjos with a massive techno hit... makes sense, doesn't it? this is actually the first mash i've made where i've only used two trax, and also the first one where no extra acid has been added.

mos i min skalle

2007-11-18T09:50:00.000-08:00

another former neighbour of mine, postverket, put together this one. no acapellas involved here but two full version dance tracks beatmixed and nicely rearranged. the finest of stockholm and malmö working together to serve your feet. and possibly booty. quite simply, these two tracks were made for each other!

donk

minimal nutters donk boys made this remix of claude von stroke's deepthroat and it looks like it'll stay unofficial. quality jackin' as usual from the boys and it's a shame it won't be put on wax. but that's why i need you you guys to pass it on.

what a girl wants

two mashes based on trax by norrköping-based producer erland marckwort. the first one is just a nice bootleg mash-mix that takes the girly classic to another level and lets the chicks on the floor sweat it out a little. the second one is based on mr. marckwort's debut 12". when the people over at juno put it on their website they recorded the soundclip at the wrong rpm and slowed the track down. a friend of mr. marckwort's thought it sounded really cool and quickly mashed it with an old wu-tang track. the result is, of course, a nice piece of slowtechhop.

stand up for insanity

here's my second mash that's equally rave. had to edit out the freakiest parts of the winx track i'm afraid, it just wouldn't work otherwise. a bit raw in parts but that's how i like it. hope you'll like it too.

jihad & lance

2007-11-07T05:05:00.000-08:00

here's a bunch of hip hop mashes & remixes from my former neighbour lance and my dj colleague jihad. they normally produce techno and/or house, but they can certainly make some wicked hip hop beats too. i particularly like the dubstep mash with ciara. pure bliss.

pilots

here's some more rave for ya. i don't have a background story for you other than pretty much everything this guy touches turns into compressed techno. basically it's just an excellent notwist tune mashed with a heavier beat and a new bassline, put through a compressor. it's lovely.

monster mash

2007-11-07T04:36:00.000-08:00

here's a few remixes by my friend le monster, who happens to be resident dj at two of the best clubs in my home town. he apparently made these because he wanted to play them out but they just weren't really that dance-friendly. not exactly late night bangers, more like something to get the party started. enjoy!

basketball missing

2007-11-07T03:58:00.000-08:00

it's only appropriate that the first post here be the first mash i ever made. it's actually a pretty ambitious one with three different acid classics taking turns behind tracy thorn's fantastic voice. bit of a slow builder but the final part is worth the wait. i'm still pretty happy with it and at least i've managed to keep an already filled floor full with it... enjoy!
