Late pass: DJ Hero 2 and Hennessy Blending of Art
I’m late on announcing my contribution to 2 projects…
First of all I’m in the new DJ Hero 2 video game.
Apparently this is what my section looks like. I don’t know why I’m in Vegas!
I made 2 “mixes” for the game (which you can preview on the youtubes below) and they also used a few of my other tracks elsewhere, like “Say Whoa” and my remixes for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and MSTRKRFT.
The way this worked is, I had to pick songs from a pre-cleared list and figure out ways to flip them, whether it be as a remix or some sort of mashup. I wanted to go for songs that already stood the test of time… party classics. Compared to the first DJ Hero game which to me didn’t always reflect what DJs are playing, I like the fact that this new one is more focused on electronic music and hip hop. Although to be honest I haven’t properly played the new one yet. I don’t even play video games! But I’m glad I got a chance to be a part of this.
Also, Hennessy recently launched a project called Blending Of Art where they paired a couple musicians with graphic artists and had them make their own customized version of a Henny bottle. I worked with Dust La Rock on one, and Kid Sister also made one with Fafi. Now pour it up…
The Electro Wars documentary
Both my brother and I were featured in this documentary on the Electro scene, which I believe I slated to premiere at WMC in a few weeks. It also features Justice, Steve Aoki, MSTRKRFT, DJ Premier, LMFAO, Lil Jon and an actual sidechain compressor. For more info check thelectrowars.com.
Around the World pt. 6
As posted on the fab Fader blog.
I was supposed to go to Russia a few days ago but I didn’t. Not because I didn’t try. Not because we didn’t plan ahead. Because of a magical establishment called the consulate. I had to go to the Russian consulate in Paris to get my work visa, and since I was doing this in France they actually worked something out with the French embassy in Moscow whereby I was presented as a special guest of the French embassy on an official “mission”. The consulate is 45 minutes away from where I’m staying in Paris and it’s only open from 9am to noon.
