823KEYPROJECT: A Community of Reverie

823KEYPROJECT: A Community of Reverie feature
Dear Pretty Much Amazing readers: A message from The Confluence. Read on for a remix goodie-bag.

Every now and then, out of pure frustration and exhaustion comes an idea that is unique and inspiring. I’d like to introduce you to the lovely 823KEYPROJECT. It is pretty simple, after giving a friend of his who was having a tough time a skeleton key necklace he made, offering the well known catch phrase, “when one door closes, another opens,” Trevor Hubbard thought everyone could use a key. 823KEYPROJECT launched two weeks later as a way for 823 people to purchase vintage, one of a kind, skeleton key neckpieces. To date, the 823keyproject has done nothing but spread the word to friends and watch it grow. 259 keys have been sold in 8 countries in just about 5 months.

The money goes into a fund and when the last key is sold, the fund is unlocked and up to $25,000 in grant money is available for artists to apply. Applying artists can be from any medium, discipline, background. This process will be repeated 26 times or as many letters there are in the alphabet. When Trevor began the project his goal was to bring together 823 people and the work of many enterprising artists of a common pulse, a thread that links the contribution and purchases of many to the creation of one vision for a better world and community through almost any medium or vision.

This is how it breaks down. Continue reading →

I got my BA in Mixtapeology at my fancy Liberal Arts School

I got my BA in Mixtapeology at my fancy Liberal Arts School covers

Mixtapeology: New remixes and some covers you’ve (hopefully) never heard before.

Remixes on my mind
MGMT – Kids (Pet Shop Boys Synthpop Remix): Blows Soulwax’s remix out of the water. Seriously.
SebastiAn – Momy (Erol Alkan’s Simple, Yet Effective Edit): Simple, Yet Effective indeed.
Gorillaz – Dirty Harry (Disco Villains Remix): I haven’t some some sweet DV tracks in a while.
Late Of The Pier – Bathroom Gurgle (Tronik Youth Remix): Watch out for these guys next year.
DJ Mehdi – Pocket Piano (Chewy Chocolate Cookies Remix): I don’t show much love to Dh Mehdi or Chew Choco Cookies much. Hopefully this makes up for it a little.
Britney Spears – Circus (Junior Vasquez Remix Edit): I’ve decided that “Circus” is one of the best singles of 2008, oh and this remix isn’t bad either.
Gang Gang Dance – House Jam (Hot Chip Remix): I love Hot Chip and Gang Gang Dance is quickly getting on my good side. Match made in heaven.

And some covers… Continue reading →

Justice, Busy P, Ed Banger Mix
Here is the 2 hour Ed Banger All Star Mix from DJ Mehdi, Busy P, and Justice. It was recorded at the beginning of the month for Sputnik Radio in Germany. Thanks to our buddy over at Critical Acclaim.

The MP3 is over 111 MB and impossible to host anywhere, so I will kindly borrow the link CA used. Enjoy! I sure am.
