The Framework......
I’d never heard of The Framework before. Well, what do you expect – I’m on the edge of the frickin’ world here and they are in sunny Canada. So, anyway, I got asked to remix a track. It’s called ‘She thinks I’m famous’, the original is brilliant which is great for them but not so great for the remixer - too much to live up to. Not wanting to steer too far off the mash up path I mixed it in with The Cure's 'Close to me'.
The Framework have a new ‘Reworked’ album out – get it here......if only for the RAC remix which is one of the best mixes I’ve heard for the year so far. Bloody beautiful.............

Arcade Fire remix
I love the Neon Bible album but always felt that the cover art was a little decieving. Ok, so it's a neon sign, so there's the tie in but to me it looks like it should house something a little more electronic. Anyway, I got my grubby mits on the vocal to 'Black Mirror' and thought it might be an opportunity to address my concerns. Will I ever learn??

Never a good idea.........
Occasionally I take team9 down paths that make me feel more uncomfortable than usual. Commercial radio comes a knocking from time to time. Usually they want something erm…commercial – funny that. Whether I take up the offer depends on the mood. I was in a poppy kinda mood on Monday so I decided to take apart the new Mary J Blige single ‘Just Fine’. The original would fit quite comfortably in one of those tampon adverts where all the girls wear white clothes and don’t have a care in the world. The temptation was to mix it with something by The Dead Kennedy’s or Black Flag but I resisted and mixed it with the more palatable Snow Patrol, Greenday and housey, housey beats. The result makes my teeth itch. On the plus side at least I won’t need sugar in my tea for a week or two.
I'm not selling it am I......

XFM mix ups.....
Its been a while since these were originally available and seeing as nostalgia is the new black, I thought it would be a good time to put them out for one and all again.
The first one is the XFM Superchunk set that aired on Eddy Temple Morris' Remix show in June 2006. Its got a couple of Hard Fi things, some Metallica, Slade, Futureheads, ACDC and erm...Robbie Williams. Eddy called it 'one of the most joyously entertaining Superchunks ever'. Make your own mind up......

The next set was made for GYBO head honcho McSleazy in October 06. Slightly different from the other set in that it was basically me messing round with some new plug in synths and FX so it has an element of crap about it. Odd remixes of ACDC, Madonna and Panic at the Disco are hidden inside. You have been warned....

One for the disco kids.....
I've just got back from the Summadayze festival here in Perth. It was a bit bangin' for my liking. Ten too many glow sticks and one grown man wearing Thomas the Tank Engine pajamas. Still, we got to see Cut Copy and Chromeo - both sounded great. However, the stand out for me was a local producer's DJ set. Fdel spun some killer old school disco mixed with hip hop, funk and the kitchen sink. Superb stuff. Anyhow, as is usually the way I left there wanting to make something similar and came up with this. A simple A+B of Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition' over the disco classic by Odyssey 'Going back to my roots'.

Thanks to Aggro 1 for the Stevie vocals.
Mysplice 07......
Its that time of year when every blog and his dog is compiling their end of year best of lists. Radiohead this, Arcade Fire that. My list tends to be kind of similar but with a more pop flavour. Anyhow, where is this going you ask......well, if you get your fine self over to the good ship Stereogum you'll find this years Mysplice compilation complete with tracks by Band of Horses, MIA, Timbaland ft One Republic, Grizzly Bear, Arcade Fire, mixed in with the likes of Guns n Roses, The A Team, Bronski Beat, Jay Z, The Cure, The Bee Gees - you get the idea.

Big thanks to the guys at Stereogum for putting me onto some incredible tracks from 07 and for hosting the album.
Last years Mysplice is still available to download towards the end of this page.
DuranDuran remix
Anyone that knows me knows that I have a bit of a thing for Duran Duran. I didnt 'get' them until Notorious came out and I heard 'The Latin Rascals' remix (which incidently is still killer). From then on I've followed every thing they've done - some of it thick, some of it thin, occasionally brilliant (see Skin Trade and Come Undone). Their new album 'Red Carpet Massacre' has been produced in part by Timbaland which instantly makes it more interesting than their last album, Astronaut. Anyhow, babble, babble.....here is a team9 remix of the track Nite Runner, which, in my book is the stand out track.

And now for something a little bit different.....
team9 have been picked to feature on Triple J radio's 'Next Crop' which features artists that will strike gold in 08. I'm not sure that we should be there but then I'm a glass half full kinda guy so what do I know. They'll be featuring an original track, 'As we travel' (see below) throughout November. The same track is also featured on a recent Australian compilation called 'Beach Suite' - out on the Suite Musique label. An interview with me can be grabbed from this page on the Triple J site. Please do your best to ignore the photo......

Britney - Dead or Alive?
Poor old Britney. We could have been so good together. If she'd only asked I could have sampled Daft Punk at least two days before Kanye. I could have done a Rihanna 'Tainted Love' stunt and used Dead or Alives 'You spin me right round like a thing that spins round', erm, classic. It could have been beautiful. It would have been terrible.
As featured in The Toronto Star's Anti Hit List - " The result feels so natural, it makes the original sound like an inferior remake".(thanks to John Sakamoto). But wait, theres more - now at number 5 in Party Bens top ten of stuff on the magnificent Riff blog.

Money, Money, Money
I'm going to bump this up the list a little. Originally part of an XFM Superchunk for the magnificent Eddy TM in the UK. It has since featured in, among other places, The Sun newspaper and the Perez Hilton site. Very odd. But wait, theres more....Eddy is giving the track another spin on his 'Bombs of 2007' set in early Jan 08. Anyhow, here is Hard Fi vs Abba vs Red Hot Chilli Peppers vs Jay Z vs the kitchen sink.

I never thought the Chems would go for a novelty track, I'm pretty sure thats what 'The Salmon Dance' is. Not that there is anything wrong with novelty tracks of course - good lordy, I've made a very bad career out of the bloody things.
Anyhow here it is mixed in with the wonderful 'Saturday in the Park' by Chicago.
As featured on The Remix Show on XFM with Eddy TM and the lovely Zan Rowe's show on JJJ here in Oz.
Found Sound
Back in June the guys from the good ship Stereogum asked me to put a little background music behind David Cross’ vocal to the Fitter Happier track for OKX. I went back to the oldschool team9 sounds and pulled out some dusty old tape loops, crusty noise and animal grunts. Anyhow, it sparked a few long dead brain cells and I decided to start The Found Sound Orchestra. Over 3 nights we sampled, among other things, Dolly Parton, Dennis Wilson, Modest Mouse, David Essex, Ravi Shankar, an Old Spice advertisment, Kenny Loggins and something from a retro shopping compilation. It was going to be an album but, well, I lost interest and moved onto knitting. It’s the new hip hop you know.
