I recently stumbled across one of the coolest remixers I’ve ever seen. Colbert had an interview with Lessig about copyright law and how twistedly wrong it is. Eclectic Method made a remix of the interview with some “great dance beats” and man is it awesome!
So I checked out the rest of their stuff on their site. And they really have some great stuff over there! They seem to have some focus on VJ’ing, which if you don’t know is about mixing video aswell as sound. And they do some really cool things with it.
With sooo much TV, movies and all kinds of things that constantly influence us, it’s a totally awesome idea to use common everyday “clips” that we see all the time and give them a twist with some music and mixing.
I downloaded their “Lock Up Your Videos” video and it’s great. It has a lot of cross-genre mixing, which is one of the things i love most in music. Music shouldn’t be all Hip Hop, all Electro or anything else that you can fit into a shelf. Music should be innovative, new and exploring new grounds. Eclectic Method does this in a fantastic way. Not only with music, but with video as well!
I payed $5 for the LUYV video because that’s what I think it’s worth. But the beautiful thing is that you can download it for free if you want to. Not only do they produce new music and awesome video mixes, they use new methods of distribution and seem to have a more lenient way of looking at copyright issues.
Eclectic Method produce awesome stuff and they seem to be on the forefront of what’s happening with music and video in our society. You should totally check them out and pay them something for their music if you like it.
I really wish I was in New York so I could be at their seemingly awsome dance party.
