24.10.04 : Laptops with Legs
Had a great time in Paris … got to meet some long time net friends … witnessed some great sets and was blown away at the enthusiasm shown towards the more rockier side of things. Also did a radio interview for DJ Zebra’s show on oui FM along with Go Home Productions.
the next gig has just been confirmed its at Legs & Co on Friday 12th November and features 4 laptop sets from myself, idiotech, sun ov and act of dog … really looking forward to this as I’ve been dj’ing via ableton on the laptop for a while now and it will be interesting to see and hear what the other dj’s are doing with it …. should be a good night

First off .. big thanks to everybody that turned up at the Strictly Rockers gig last week … big big fun was had.
No Strictly Rockers tunes to upload yet as it looks like some of it will be released on vinyl very soon … if your that desperate to hear it … book us:)
I happened to look at this sites download stats from the last year and was amazed to see that the most downloaded bootleg last year was Sweet Filled Dreams - Craig David vs The Eurythmics from the MTV-Trashed series …. 15,000 downloads in the space of 4 weeks on line. to be honest its not a boot that i’ve ever thought much about .. seems my judgment isn’t always spot on! .. ;)
On a more dance trip this one … the mighty Sabres of Paradise given a more “breaks” feel

I was working with Britney last month in downtown JA re-mixing a few tracks for her greatest hits album due out this christmas

… at that point GrandpapaIrie took control of the desk and Big Youth grabbed the mic … this is the result:

14.03.04 : Bits & Bobs
It seems like my corporate mates Motorola are not only hosting the Free Party Video but also the never before seen Going Down Madges way!
Originally created for the very first MTV-Mash show way back at the beginning of last year, it failed to get clearance from Lenny Kravitz Record Company or Publishers but this video has somehow found its way onto the net
It sounds and looks like it was recorded from a TV via a Camcorder but it’s there if you want to have a look.
Funny how all these things get out somehow. Both Free Party and We used to be Intergalactic have MP3 and Mpeg versions available on the net in various states of quality and I’m fine with that, it’s just a shame that I’m not able to post the originals.
I’ve also uploaded some of the older tracks that have been requested in the discography section.
08.03.04 : b**tleg
Who’d have guessed it .. a b**tleg :)
Just couldnt resist this one although I thought it needed more guitars … so .. I put some on myself :)

Yeap its 396 getting deep down and dirty with Britney again!
Not sure if this was the “dubtronics” mix that was requested as it seems very dark to me .. one to skin up to maybe.

Whilst flicking through the satellite music channels this weekend not only did I see my We Used To Be Intergalactic - Beastie Boys vs Dandy Warhols being shown for the 3rd time on this series of MTV-Mash, but also my Obie Trice - Got Some Teeth (bigger beat Mix) being rotated on KissTv along with the Junkie Elvis - Cheezy Burgers vid on both KissTv and QTV …. all very good but a credit would have been nice… sorted, thanks Mark.
12.01.04 : Check This
Not only is it a brilliant flyer it also features the world first (ok I know about Speedway!) Bootleg/Mash-up band doing a cover of my Pink vs Vines - Free Party! So If your in the San Francisco area on Wednesday get along … looks like my kind of place … and I must admit that the Glam/Goth look does it for me everytime ;)
Funny How things happen: ………
!Maybe that’s hypocritical, and maybe it’s just a part of the aging process — as a once-controversial practice becomes accepted, a new group of upstarts comes along. If that’s the case, there’s little reason to expect it to stop now. In 20 years, Ultra396’s heirs might be suing someone for appropriating “Rock the Party” without their permission. “Bah,” they’ll complain. “Doesn’t anyone respect the rights of authors anymore?”.

Right then where’s me royalties!!!! :)
