DJ Cow Tse Tung Presents The Bollywood Plagiarism Soundclash, Vol 3

2011-01-26T00:00:00.061+08:00

3 years too late with Volume 3 of the Bollywood Plagiarism Soundclash, but plagiarism is alive and kicking in Bollywood - its not a question of enough material, but the time to locate and collate the myriad range of plagiarized tracks. In fact, I even considered making this a double album - perhaps I can release Volume 4 within the year.

This one kicks off with a terrible copy of Cotton Eye Joy, the copied version borrowing lyrically in part from "Nothing Compares to You", winds through Rachid Taha, Mory Kante, The Buggles, and Billy Idol, which is a credit to the diverse range of music Bollywood music directors listen to. I close off with an Ennio Morricone epilogue to give your ears some much-deserved peace. Enjoy!

1. Koi Nahin Tere Jaisa (Keemat) vs Cotton Eye Joe by Red Nex
2. Soot Boot Mein (Kishen Kanhaiya) vs Iko Iko by the Belle Stars
3. Coming Coming Coming (Rang) vs Karma Chameleon by Culture Club
4. Kali Nagin Jaise (Mann) vs Ya Rayah by Rachid Taha
5. Tamma Tamma Loge (Thanedaar) vs Tama by Mory Kante
6. Koi Yahan Nache Nache (Disco Dancer) vs Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles
7. Akele Hain (Qayammat se Qayammat Tak) vs Return to Alamo by The Shadows
8. Koi Nahin Aisa (Dillagi) vs Mony Mony by Billy Idol
9. In the Night No Control (Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi) vs Self Control by Laura Branigan)
10. Tu Woh Tu Hai (Beqabu) vs The Good, The Bad and the Ugly Theme by Ennio Morricone)

Music Release: Zahelu 2154

2009-12-25T23:11:00.004+08:00

Went and watched Avatar in 3D on 22nd, and was so impressed that I needed another fix in 2D on the 23rd. For all detractors who want the RDA's ex-Marine mercenaries and the tribal inhabitants of Pandora to spurt out complex, pseudo-philosophical dialogues, please watch the movie for what it is, and enjoy the experience. James Cameron has created a masterpiece with such depth (if you're willing to "see"), that I'm finding it terribly difficult to shrug off the messages this movie contained. From a spiritual viewpoint, I'm especially fascinated by Zahelu - what a great concept - the "bond" between all living things. Also, the phrase "I see you" - much like the true meaning of "Namaste", which I was once told by a White South African convert to Hinduism is about greeting people's inner spiritual goodness. And finally, how every living thing was connected - a network of networks, sans the en masse silicon micro-chipping of all things living and dead.

Also, I've decided to rename my latest dub techno/minimalist release under the Cow Tse Tung Sound System nom de plume, using our favorite VSTi, the Cakewalk Z3TA to "Zahelu 2154" instead of the work-in-progress name of "Househunter" (I started writing this track in 2007 whilst hunting for my first home, but put it the track on the backburner, because I couldn't get the right sound from whatever VSTi I was using then). Reminds me of Panopticon and early 90s Leftfield.

Zahelu, make the bond!

Music Release: Mass Hypnotism

2009-03-02T00:17:00.004+09:00

Okay, time for a new release again. This one is called Mass Hypnotism, and is my musical commentary on the Barack Obama effect. I was very disappointed that the masses didn't pick the experience of John McCain, choosing instead to fall for Obama's populist rhetoric, but anyway, America is not my country and the trillion dollar deficit is their problem.

The track has been created using Albino and Blue VSTi's, and was composed in FL Studio, with finishing touches added in Ableton Live 6. I also used the Fruity Parametric Equalizer for the first time - and its not a bad effect at all! The genre is bigbeat, but with the dark undertones, I'd even call it an upbeat trip-hop track!

Music Release: El Stupido Los Indios Idiotas

2008-12-12T22:02:00.000+09:00

Okay, its that time again - I've had the tune in my head for at least 5-6 years, but instead of doing a Latintronica/Nortec version, I've ended up with a tribal-techno track, styled much like Kick Bong's "Progress in Happiness" and some old skool Medicine Drum, Goa Gil and the like. Makes use of a tabla based beat, interspersed with tribal sounds and pumping techno sonics. Extensive utilization of VSTi's including Rob Papen's Blue, Albino, and Swar Systems' Swarplug.

Killer Dub Of The Moment - Movado: Jehovah Guide Me

2008-05-17T22:49:00.003+08:00

Heard this awesome track on 92.1 RTR FM's dub/reggae showcase, Jamdown on Saturday evenings between 5-7 pm Perth time (podcasts available). Its called "Jehovah Guide Me" and is by Movado.

DJ Cow Tse Tung Presents The Bollywood Plagiarism Soundclash, Vol 2

2008-01-26T13:21:00.000+09:00

'Tis time for version deux to be released. Yes, from the refrains of a high-pitched, Indianized rendition of Bob Marley' "Buffalo Soldier" with lyrics talking about dates at "chowks" (roundabouts) to Jah Screechie's "Walk and Skank" becoming a refrain about a spoilt brat?!
I give up. As Indian Ropeman, aka Sanjiv Sen says on Elephant Sound, "Listen, learn, and enjoy".

Tracklist:

Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen (Baazigar) vs The Man Who Plays the Mandolino by Dean Martin
Le Pappiyan Jhappiyan (Haqeeqat) vs Tequila by The Champs
Dole Dole Dil Dole (Baazi) vs Come September by Lulu
Jab Bhi Koi Haseena (Hera Pheri) vs Return of the Mack by Mark Morrison
Aate Jaate (Maine Pyar Kiya) vs I Just Called To Say I Love You by Stevie Wonder
Hello Hello Bolke (Aakrosh) vs Buffalo Soldier by Bob Marley
Pehli Pehli Baar (Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai) vs Born To Be Alive by Patrick Hernandez
Kambakht Ishq (Pyar Tune Kya Kiya) vs Eireann by Afro Celt Sound System
Jai Maa Kali (Karan Arjun) vs Alright by East 17
Amma Dekh (Stuntman) vs On A Ragga Tip by SL2 (sampling Jah Screechie)

I must apologize for repeating the "Pehli Pehli Baar/Patrick Hernandez" track - forgot to check if it had already been included in version 1, and by the time I'd uploaded the mix (and realized my folly), I couldn't be bothered mixing this one all over again from scratch.

Music Release: Voyeur's Lullaby (Risque Business Edit)

2008-01-20T14:35:00.000+09:00

First new track for 2008! This one's called "Voyeur's Lullaby", and makes use of the Rob Papen VSTi, "Blue", the Predator VSTi, and a heavily tweaked Sytrus "Moon Ray 2" option (Additional production using Ableton Live 6). Listen online or download free mp3.

Samples Lao Ma from "Xena, Warrior Princess" saying "To conquer others is to have power. To conquer yourself is to know the way." . The cover is an alpha rendering of a shot from "Eyes Wide Shut".

Not merely "dream house" or "dream trance" but a "theme for a wet dream". That's it - my next job will be creating corny catchphrases for shitty music albums. Just say the word. FIDELIO.

Lost MP3s, Data Recovery, and LisaNova (ahhhhh)!

2007-12-05T17:45:00.000+09:00

Man, I've just lost about 110 gigs of music, including work-in-progress compositions and pirated MP3s. Damn. I'd put 'em all on an external Maxtor storage device, and one fine day, I get a Windows Write Delay error. I ignore it, unplug and replug the USB device, and one fine day, to my astonishment, the directory structure has become a massive blob of nothingness. Now that I've fucked up Superannuation/Wealth Management certification exam, I might get around to fixing my multitude of computer woes. Actually, I haven't "just" lost the data- its been lost for a week or thereabouts, hence the repeat tracks on my Last.fm XML feed. Yes, I have limited choice in music, finally. And my anivirus has run out - time to format the hard disk, or make a visit to "FreeBay". HAHA! So yes, while I really want to release a new track, my 20 or so half-ready compositions have been "lost".

Next up, Fadereu, "that" IIT dude who ran CSF/DesiMediaBitch has come up with this fascinating piece of audio-video technology.

Whilst on YouTube, I love LisaNova - she's hot, she's funny, her accents crack me up, and she's going to be famous as. Check out her skits - worth the bandwidth. And this video - Beck would be proud.

Music Release: Positivity Is Infectious (Return of the Bigbeat)

2007-11-11T21:21:00.000+09:00

I recently came across criticism of Dr Norman Vincent Peale's "Power of Positive Thinking" methodology as being nothing more than self-hypnosis. How does it matter what it borrows from or is a manifestation of, if it leads to tangible results and desired outcomes?

Track's called "Positivity Is Infectious" [had a working title of Return of the Bigbeat]. The drum loop is called "Apache" and its freely available all over the web. Production was done in FL Studio, and makes extensive use of the Blue VSTi by Rob Papen. Post production was done in Ableton Live 6, and the vocal sample is that of Wes Bentley from "American Beauty". Listen online or download free mp3.

Music release: Seraphim Descent

2007-10-28T18:02:00.000+09:00

Finally, a track release after all these months! This one was produced in FL Studio and mastered in Ableton. I call it Seraphim Descent and it sounds like old school Balearic trance with a tinge of Goa/Psy. Listen or download free mp3.

Music Release: Quality CNOTrol (In The Time Of Climate Change)

2007-06-03T18:38:00.000+08:00

Just a nice little tune I call "Quality CNOtrol". Made in FL Studio, makes extensive use of the Albino VSTi. Good old techno. Listen online, or download free mp3.

Music Release: Exporting Nepotism

2007-04-25T20:51:00.000+08:00

This one's called Exporting Nepotism. Uses the VSTis Poizone and Vanguard. Composed in FL Studio. Includes a sample from Austin Powers/Goldmember, where Goldmember, in his funny Dutch accent goes "Welcome to 1975 Austin Powers and father". I don't really know how to classify the music, but I'd say its somewhere between Goa, old school dance and house - I just call it "techno". Unclassifiable techno. Like Underworld. Or CJ Bolland? Listen online, or download free mp3.
Excuse the garish cover.

Young Folks/Ultimate House Party [Deconstruction]

2007-04-07T20:31:00.000+08:00

I was at one of these gaming stores with a friend when I heard this really catchy track I'd heard on the radio a couple of months back, but hadn't downloaded until now. Its called "Young Folks" and is by a Swedish band called Peter, Bjorn and John, featuring Victoria Bergsman. Watch the video here (courtesy Youtube).

Also, got a hold of "Love Me Now" by Secret Knowledge, which I first heard on an album called "Ultimate House Party", out on the now defunct Deconstruction [BMG] in, I'd say 1997, back in India.

It holds some good memories - besides being my initiation into the sounds of Monkey Mafia, Lionrock and Death in Vegas, I blew up half the money I was meant to give my little cousin sister for Raksha Bandhan. Luckily, she was only a week or so old, so she couldn't complain to my grandpa about the shortfall.

1 Grid, The Diablo (The Devil Rides Out Mix)

2 Way Out West Domination (Bonkers Break Beat Mix)

Music Release: Afro Dizzy Axe (Viagra Tiagra Mix)

2007-04-06T20:00:00.000+08:00

Aphrodisiacs, Afro Dizzy Axe. This one's been lying on my hard disk for a while, languishing whilst OurMedia goes into purported Alpha release mode. Seriously, that site fucking drives me nuts sometimes. Downtime, authentication issues, scripting errors, lost media. Far out.

If only Google would let you host MP3s on Blogger.
Anyway, yeah. So I'm having trouble classifying my music as always - can't seem to stick to one genre at a time, which is probably a result of listening to a variety of styles. This one shifts between ambient and dub, but isn't either, or an amalgamation.

Cannabanoid By Step (A New Kids On The Block vs Cosmosis Mashup Release)

2007-03-04T10:04:00.000+09:00

DJ Cow Tse Tung is proud to present the next in our "Another Low Quality Mix" series of crazy mashups, by bringing together one of the 90s favorite boy bands, and amongst the foremost goatrance/psy producers from the same era...

New Kids On The Block and Cosmosis meet in a mash clash of the genres, in "Cannabanoid By Step", which borrows from their respective hits, "Step By Step" and "Cannabanoid".

Qwerty Pwerty (The Digital Divide)

2007-02-09T18:31:00.000+09:00

I'm becoming the poor man's version of Bluetech, OTT, and Shpongle. Here's an ambient dub track I call "Qwerty Pwerty", which deals with the pressing issue of the ever-widening digital divide. "HOW", you might ask...well, listen to the percussion, and you'll realize I can't afford decent VSTi drumkits or virtual drum-machines.

The track's been out for a while now, but I just didn't have the time to do my one of my fake press releases on this blog. Listen, or download free mp3.

Haal Kaisa Hai Gutbuster Ka (A Bollywood Mashup featuring Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle pitted against Bentley Rhythm Ace)

2007-01-29T20:00:00.000+09:00

I can feel every muscle and sinew(ache) in my body today. Even ones I never knew existed. All thanks to a mind-boggling 6 hours of Darklight laser tagging, where I fared reasonably alright (rankings of 5, 4, 9, 14, 21, 19, 1, 3). So, as a result of not being able to move without considerable discomfort, I decided to kill time by "fixing" up some Bollywood tracks to suit my own quirky taste in music.

With the quantity of unfinished music I release in the name of experimentalism and creative overflows, I could be competing with Muslimgauze pretty soon, the only differences being that he had talent, was signed to a label and was a rebel with a cause.

We stick to the Bollywood theme, continuing from the previous couple of releases. And these aren't the regular Bollywood mashups, mixed to hip-hop beats, and some boring kid trying his hand at rapping. They all have a distinctly digital/electronic flavor to them, because that's pretty much the only kind of music I like.

The Cow Tse Tung Sound System proudly presents the next Bollywood mashup in the series, "Haal Kaisa Hai Gutbuster Ka", featuring the Asha Bhosle-Kishore Kumar hit from Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, "Haal Kaisa Hai Janab Ka" mashed up with "Theme From Gutbuster" by the prankster bigbeat duo of Bentley Rhythm Ace, ex-Pop Will Eat Itself.

Hippie Tera Mastana (A Bollywood Mashup; Kishore Kumar vs Adrian Sherwood)

2007-01-28T11:03:00.000+09:00

If you love bands like Gotan Project, and artistes like Bebel Gilberto, you'd do well to get hold of 60s and 70s Bollywood music. Anyway, so this is my first trip into supposedly lacking-in-credibility Bollywood mashup-making.

Featuring the reggae-tinged Bollywood hit, from the movie Aradhana, "Roop Tera Mastana", with On-U Sound kingpin, Adrian Sherwood's Indian tinged dub track from his fabulous solo release, Never Trust A Hippy, "Hari Up Hari", DJ Cow Tse Tung and MC Rasta D'Sasta are proud to present, "Hippie Tera Mastana", featuring vocals by Bollywood playback singer and actor, Kishore Kumar. As we lack credibility, I thought we'd go for incredibility. Listen online NOW, or download free mp3.

The Cow Tse Tung translation of the lyrics is:
"Your figure is funky
Make no mistakes while f*ckin' ".
Crude and senseless? I know - but at least I didn't write the original lyrics. Visual Bollywood mashups and spoofs available on our sister blog, The Bollywood Cowbserver, United Nations Organization certified intruder.

Moaning Cash Machine (Hard Fi vs Underworld Mashup Release)

2007-01-21T17:51:00.000+09:00

Been a while since I posted a mashup. This one pits two great British acts, and might I say, both have dance-rock allegiances.

DJ Cow Tse Tung proudly presents the next mix in the "Another Low Quality Mix" mashup series, the thumping "Moaning Cash Machine", which pits Hard-Fi's "Cash Machine" against Underworld's "Moaner" which also featured on one of the Batman movies. Listen, or download a free mp3 NOW!!

Expedition to Serpo (Ufology Politricks Edit)

2007-01-20T21:14:00.000+09:00

I find ufology fascinating, and tend to swing between the extremes of fanatical believer and die-hard skeptic. Here's a little something that makes use of my favorite preset on the Novation V-Station softsynth/VSTi, and samples Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, JFK, and Star Trek.

Samples courtesy WavSource.com. Listen online or download free mp3. As is obvious, Eat Static rank amongst my key influences.

For further details on the story behind this track, have a look at the SERPO Project, and the Roswell incident to start with.

While on paranormal phenomena, it usually freaks me out. As such, when it is debunked, I tend to feel that balance and order has been restored. Check out The Skeptic Report and the excellent work of James Randi. Also, psychic Uri Geller caught using a magnet. So much for telekinesis and whatever junk he comes up with.

Start Of A Dreadlock Holiday

2007-01-06T18:52:00.000+09:00

Might be an idea for the Cricket World Cup organizers to use this track as their official song. Yea, right!

Not my favorite mix, but someone else out there might like it - yeah, after months of avoiding this mashup, I've finally succumbed to search engine pressure (rrrrright - hardly get any visitors here)...presenting 10cc's "Dreadlock Holiday" with the Drumattic Twins' "Start of Something" in "Start Of A Dreadlock Holiday". Only one dub. Listen, or download mp3.

This is a funny-ass version of Madonna's "Hung Up" in Spanish. Watch below...

Been listening to Enter Shikari, a British trance-rock band, or so they call these guys. Not a new concept, as much as the media would have you believe, but the sound is great. "Spawn" OST reborn.

Spawn: The Album was released in July 1997 and brought together popular rock bands at the time including Metallica, Korn, Marilyn Manson and Silverchair with well known DJs and producers such as The Crystal Method, Roni Size, and Atari Teenage Riot. A similar concept was previously implemented on the rock/hip-hop fused Judgement Night soundtrack. The album debuted at #7 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and stayed in the chart for 25 weeks.

Murder By Proxy

2007-01-01T10:00:00.000+09:00

George W. Bush has avenged his father, George Bush Sr. Some call it an execution, the law catching up with the lawless. I think its murder by proxy. Shame on everyone who calls this is a victory for the righteous. This is Bush's way of salvaging some lost pride over Iraq and extracting revenge on a sworn enemy of his immediate family, not justice for Saddam Hussein's injustices.

I didn't feel like adding too many samples to this one, even though I'm building up quite a collection of Bushism WAV files/audio clips. I call the production Murder By Proxy, and you can listen to it here, or get a free MP3 here. Contains samples from the motion picture Gladiator and of course, the leader of the free world, President George W Bush of the United States of America.

Ox Fucked Graduate

2006-12-20T21:03:00.000+09:00

Cow Tse Tung Sound System and MC Rasta D'Sasta present a brand new track, "Ox Fucked Graduate", a quasi-classic-goatrance track. Listen, or download free mp3.

Also contains the following samples of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully's voices respectively (from The X-Files):

"I was drugged."
"I don't trust you."

I don't have a great tale to tell this time around - the initial riff was something I thought I'd make into an ambient track. But the arpegiatted melody tempted me to introduce a classic Goa kick (which I can't get enough of), after which I couldn't set the Sytrus presets to my liking, and ended up with instruments more apt for a Eurodance track instead. No complaints though - I'm happy with the end result. Respect to my Jamaican alter-ego, who was responsible for ensuring we had some elements of dub even in a techno/trance track, MC Rasta D'Sasta.

Don't forget to check out INXS' latest single, "Never Let You Go". Its something Salmonella Dub would've released. But hey, its great to hear a track like this from INXS. I can see the late Michael Hutchence smiling from up above. Great track - love the dubby sound. Features my beloved former motherland, and subtitles in Hindi, besides Channel [V] (India) VJ, Sarah Jane Dias. Watch the video below.

Finally, I've managed to locate lost Indian rock outfit, Colourblind (a duo comprised of Ram Sampath on vocals, keyboards & drums and Siddarth Achrekar on electric & acoustic guitar & bass ) at long, long last. After years of being underground, they've made their tracks available at this location. Check out Blast and the self-titled single if you doubt the quality of their music. Siddarth talks of why the band split...

Once and for all let me clear some facts on this board as to why we never carried on doing what we did. We were rehearsing for a major tour and i had an ear complication. I busted my ear drum which got infected and went deaf for a month in one ear. The doc gave me 2 options. To carry on or risk going deaf permanently overnight in one ear. This is the reason why the Colourblind project was scrapped and which is why we never played live after that.Besides that many of us had other career responsibilities as well and none of us had forseen the album skyrocket in popularity. For us the whole project was a fun thing and not something that we could have built our lives around, especially in India. But it was fun while it lasted. Too bad we couldnt play live which would have been fun, but not all things happen the way they should. Maybe sometime in the future, who knows? Another album perhaps :)

Not Many Soupy Captains (Scribe vs The Orb Mashup Release)

2006-12-15T22:05:00.000+09:00

Remember the Outhere Brothers, La Bouche, Real McCoy, Dr. Alban 2 Unlimited and the like? Here's a mashup ode, a revisitation, made not of dancefloor classics by the afore-mentioned bands, but instead by mixing hot Kiwi rapper, Scribe's "Not Many" with the dubby sounds of The Orb's "Captain Korma". We call it 'NOT MANY SOUPY CAPTAINS' [Korma==soup in Hindi]. Listen/Download free mp3.
Kinda like a musical chicken soup for the soul...

Is It Any Invader (I Know)? [Keane vs 808 State Mashup Release]

2006-12-13T20:35:00.000+09:00

DJ Cow Tse Tung and the Cow Tse Tung Sound System are proud to present a hot new mashup, featuring current chart-toppers, Keane's "Is It Any Wonder" versus techno daddies 808 State's "Invader [Vegas Soul Remix]" in the mashup for gatecrashers, streakers, and other such people who love butting in - "Is It Any INVADER (I know)?".

So what are you waiting for? Listen, or download free mp3 NOW, and take the remix with you the next time you gatecrash a house party, or disrupt a sporting event.

Boom shankar.

Leadership Challenge Dub

2006-12-10T11:47:00.000+09:00

Neil Barnes of Leftfield fame is BACK!! Yes, with "Rhythm and Stealth" collaborator, Nick Rappacioli and new kid on the block, Sarah Johns (great voice, pleasant looking girl), with a brand spankin' new band called "LOSTDOGFOUND". They have a demo track out, "Still You", and it is MIND BLOWING. Major label X, sign 'em up already.
"You're STILL YOU."

Back to my crappy old releases, this one's called "Leadership Challenge Dub" - yeah right. I wish I had Peter Costello's balls and John Howard's luck/grip on the seat of ultimate power. Listen, or download free mp3.

I think I need to find a proper direction with my dubs, rather than meander between ambient and psychedelic dub like that of OTT and Bluetech, and then try to move away to classic sounds like that of Lee Perry, King Tubby, Adrian Sherwood et al. Not happy with the sound. This one, for example, was meant to be a Fila Brazillia styled downbeat track, and then I just had to try out all these dub VST plugins I'd recently downloaded. Been a while since I've come up with a track that satisfies me in terms of melody and quality. Even the mashups don't do much to please me at the moment - all too simple, no rhythm, no creativity, too many FX, too much beatmapping. Sucks.

A Little Light To Take Me Up The Steps (R.X.R.A. vs Dreadzone Mashup Release!)

2006-12-10T01:58:00.000+09:00

This week, DJ Cow Tse Tung presents some Hispanic sounding dub-house (Nortec, anyone?) by Dreadzone (R.I.P. Steve Roberts) in the form of "First Steps" mashed up with a great tune off the Fifth Element OST (end credits) by Eric Serra, or R.X.R.A., "Little Light of Love". We call the mashup "A Little Light To Take Me Up The Steps", Collodel Kalamunda Edit after this great little Italian ice-cream place (we recommend the pistachio flavored gelato) in the Perth Hills suburb of Kalamunda, where we were today. Listen, or download free mp3.

Ms CTT and myself went to Rebel Sports to get ourselves Cricket Australia flags and little CA ducks - and I went...wow, Glenn McGrath dolls!
Next thing I know...SLAP.
Yes. Ms CTT it was.

Finally, a very happy birthday to GK. Hope you have a great year ahead.

DJ Cow Tse Tung's Arabic MGMXXX Two O Six - Choice Middle Eastern Flavored Cuts

2006-12-08T23:19:00.000+09:00

What can I say - I'm hooked onto these virtual DJ and music productions apps. Instead of making compilations, this Christmas, I'm doing mix CDs for close friends and family.

This particular Arabic flavored mix, that clocks in at 1:02:20 was compiled using the amazingly user-friendly Acoustica MixCraft, and features:

01. Shai No Shai - Caravan
02. Cheb Khaled - Didi
03. Rachid Taha - Ole Ole
04. Rachid Taha - Barra Barra
05. Rachid Taha - Garab
06. Mario Piu/Mauro Picotto- Arabian Pleasure (Vocal Mix)
07. Jean Michel Jarre ft Natacha Atlas - C'est La Vie
08. Dreadzone vs Cheb Mami - Mama (Arabic Remix)
09. Cheb Khaled, Faudel and Rachid Taha - Abdel Kader
10. Rachid Taha - Ya Rayah
11. Cheb Khaled - Aicha
12. Leftfield - Rino's Prayer

A journey through Arabian techno, lounge, dub, and rock. With a hint of rai.
Listen ONLINE or download free mp3.

I'd include Amr Diab, Dania etc, but their music doesn't appeal to me. I also considered including Alien Soap Opera and Eat Static (Dionysius, HELLO!?), but they're too abstract for the common ear. Might've been an idea to include "Little Light of Love" off the Fifth Element OST.

Another Space Shanty In The Wall [A Pink Floyd Vs Leftfield Mashup Release]

2006-12-03T20:10:00.000+09:00

Another mashup in the wall. Yes, here's the Pink Floyd classic, "Another Brick In The Wall" married with Leftfield's "Space Shanty". We call the lovechild "Another Space Shanty In The Wall [DJ Cow Tse Tung's 100% Flunkie Edit]" . Listen, or download free mp3. We don't need no education. Or do we?

In other news, I really like Nadia Ali, of IIO/Rapture fame. That's critical news, alright?

Fine Muslim girl, eh?

Legionnaire Abdel Kader's War (Mashup Release!)

2006-12-02T07:57:00.000+08:00

Continuing with our focus on Middle Eastern music, the Cow Tse Tung Sound System presents an Arabic/rai mashup/remix/bootleg that'll make you say, that'll make your donkey bray Sheikh Yer Bootay. This one's the lovechild of a marriage between prog and dub house pioneers, Leftfield (muchos respectos to Paul Daley and Neil Barnes) and the rai trio of Rachid Taha, Faudel, and Cheb Khaled, all famous names in their own right. Featuring the track "6/8 War" intertwined with our rai singers' collaboration, "Abdel Kader", DJ Cow Tse Tung proudly presents "Legionnaire Abdel Kader's War"...

Hezbollah Raver

2006-11-27T20:27:00.000+08:00

Man, we've all heard of Israeli armymen tripping on acid, at full moon parties in Goa and elsewhere. But what about the friendly boys from o'er the fence - the Hamas, the Hezbollah etc., huh?

This one's for fans of Arabian techno, Arabian breakbeats, and everything else that even remotely resembles the sound I'm blabbering about. I call it "Hezbollah Raver". Sounds like Muslimgauze on ecstasy. Or a really crappy Gigi D'Agostino mix. Listen, or download free mp3, girls and boys.

9 Years On [Music Release]

2006-11-26T11:41:00.000+08:00

After the recent mashup overdose, I'm back to my beloved FL Studio, tweaking and releasing tracks that were probably ready to see daylight a few weeks back. This particular track's been under composition for a little over 2 months. I can't seem to decide what genre it fits into, and whether its even ready to be published, but hey, can't be buggered working on it anymore. Its meant for someone I hadn't seen in almost a decade. I call it "9 Years On", and it probably sounds like the Crystal Method meeting some Nordic ambient outfit. Listen here, or download free mp3.

Y'know what I'd really like to do next? Work with a vocalist and a graphic designer. Collaborate. Maybe even join hands with a master-tweaker, as I focus on composition.

In other news, my car's written off thanks to a recent accident, and I now own a brand new second hand Honda Civic. Also went and saw Borat last Saturday, which was a big letdown. All the gags are on the TV adverts for the flick, which basically means you've seen it all before you've even seen it. I used to be a big Borat fan when it was a little skit on Ali G - and maybe that's how it should be. 80 odd minutes of this guy put me to sleep.

Pyrokinetic Moonwalkers' Mashup!

2006-11-21T19:43:00.000+08:00

Another mashup - its been out on my OurMedia page for a while now, but I was really busy with work, so *cough* I couldn't find the time to visit Blogger. Honestly!

So DJ Cow Tse Tung presents the original prodigy, Michael Jackson versus the other Prodigy [Liam Howlett and co.] in "Non Stop Firestarter [Pyrokinetic Moonwalker Edit]". "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" meets "Firestarter" in a thumping dancefloor hit. Listen, or download free mp3!

I Can Boogie Out Of Control (Mashup Release)

2006-11-13T01:00:00.000+08:00

The track title says it all - I can't get enough of this mashup business. Presenting DJ Cow Tse Tung's latest mashup, Baccara Vs. Chemical Brothers in "I Can Boogie Out Of Control", mashing up "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" with the Sasha-tinted Chem Bros classic, "Out Of Control". Viva La Revolucion! Listen, or download free mp3.

Hey! Ya Missing Tracey, Andre 3K?

2006-11-12T17:53:00.000+08:00

'Twas the most secret of secret dalliances in the music industry. Tracey Thorn, from Everything But The Girl and Andre 3000 from Outkast. And lovelorn Andre, what did he do to serenade his beloved? Sing her hit, "Missing" to the tune of his own hit, "Hey Ya".

Cupid incarnate, DJ Cow Tse Tung presents the Everything But The Girl vs. Outkast mashup, "Hey! Ya Missing Tracey, Andre?" Sure she is - Todd Terry's long gone. Listen online, or download free mp3.

Reminds of the time I was in a Nissan (sobs, my beloved Pulsar went to the grave last Monday) Skyline with two Bangladeshis and a Hyderabadi, who were chewing my brains off with the worst rendition of "Hey Ya" ever. Lucky Andre 3000 wasn't around - he would sure have shot them, and then not missed them.

I Kiss You In Amerika!

2006-11-11T23:45:00.000+08:00

DJ Cow Tse Tung is proud to present his first mashup ever, "I Kiss You In Amerika", featuring Underworld's fabulous "Dark and Long" and Rammstein's cheesy "We're All Living In Amerika". Mixed on Ableton Live 6.0. Listen NOW or download the free mp3.

Diwali Greetings

2006-10-22T11:57:00.000+08:00

Firstly, Diwali greetings + nave saal di mubarakaan to all and sundry.

Track release: Disinformation Dub. Free mp3 download here, listen here. Shoutouts to the 10 year old Disinfo.com and Adrian Sherwood of On-U fame. Initial release termed as the Korean Analogy Mix in (dis)honor of a recent strategy we picked up from the two Koreas. Very effective, but also very dodgy.

Related article: The Disinformation Cycle by Tim Lambert of UNSW.

Finally 10cc's "Dreadlock Holiday" video from YouTube. One of my favorite tracks of all time. Coz'...
I don't like cricket - I love it...
I don't like reggae - I love it...
Don't like Jamaica - I love her!

Double Whammy (Wheelie Edit)

2006-10-15T15:03:00.000+08:00

I'm not a big fan of psytrance, as I am of goa, but I couldn't be buggered reworking it into a goatrance track. Track's called "Double Whammy". Troubles come in pairs, hence the title. Features a sample from Back To The Future. Free mp3 here; listen here.

Celebs That Make You Go Mmmmmm...

2006-10-11T20:06:00.000+08:00

Okay, no silly crap, no nonsense today.

I'm not a student, but I was invited to spend my Saturday at the Curtin University of Technology's viticulture/agribusiness labs. The first time anyone's let the Mad Cow enter a laboratory. I felt like a scientist. I even had a lab coat on *sobs*. And of course, I made myself a name badge, "Dr. Doom". Very apt. Associate Professor of E-cow-nometrics. Impressive huh?

Anyway kids - I want you to learn a lesson from these celebrities. Reach out to your fans. Be a good, humble person. Show genuine gratitude and interest.

First up is Sanjana Jon. Not only is she a great, great woman (holds a Philosophy degree, if I remember correctly), but she's also a hot, and innovative designer, and does all this great charity stuff with the Miss Universe winners every year, besides surviving on minimal sleep, and functioning like a supermachine.
If I had piles of money, I'd buy out complete collections off her, and create Sanjana Jon museums.

Next is Mr. Deeder Zaman, who's famous for being the voice of early Asian Dub Foundation. I added him on MySpace, and the guy actually acknowledges my add request and thanks me for my support.

And then there's Sam, or Salman Gita from Loop Guru. Added him to my MySpace, and once again, there's a vote of thanks and a couple of replies to my messages. From Sam in PERSON.

This is the mark of greatness - a sign that the artiste has been through that struggle, and considers every psycho fan like me important enough to acknowledge. All this goes a long way to prove that you don't need to be a dickhead or bitch if you're famous.

GoaTranced (Mini-Me Radio Edit)

2006-10-07T23:26:00.000+08:00

Yeh, yeh, I know, not a very innovative track title. This is not my first attempt at goatrance, but definitely the best yet. I'll release a full 8+minute version later. Contains vocal clips from Kubrick/Arthur C Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey. I've finally started using FL Studio 6, Producer Edition, and it seems to be quite a good upgrade over FL Studio 5. Goatranced is available for download as a free MP3 here, or can be heard on Ourmedia. Fans of Ayahuasca, Astral Projection and Hallucinogen should enjoy it.

GO THE SYDNEY SWANS

2006-10-03T20:47:00.000+08:00

Anecdote, first.

Its June 2005, English boy Timmy, Malay boy "Carl" (his real name was Beef Rendang or something), and I&I are watching footy on T.V. Actually, I'm heating up dinner, and these two are glued to the television. A few minutes on, Tim asks me if I follow the game, and I say, "Nah mate, cricket fan here - can't understand footy at all". We all get back to whatever we're upto. 10 odd minutes on, Carl, who's been right there all along, and been listening to us, asks me, "Hey man, can you explain this game to me". Tim and me are looking at each other, and then at Carl, in a state of disbelief.

Anyway, so last year, the Sydney Swans took the premiership, but this year, the West Coast Eagles (who had a fabulous parade through the streets of Perth today) beat the Swans by 1 goal to take the 2006 premiership. I was shattered on Saturday, and spent Sunday and Monday away from the big bad world - until it dawned 'pon me what a great comeback the Swans had staged, considering the miserable first two quarters of the game.

So this one's dedicated to the Sydney Swans. From their sole supporter in the gold and blue draped city of Perth, drowning in the Swan river, only because of my Swan connexion.

GO THE SYDNEY SWANS.

Track's titled Red And White In A Puddle Of Gold and Blue - I nearly called it Sexaholic, but y'know, being Indian and all, I need to keep the kinks locked away in a vault.
Download free mp3 here. Or listen to it on Ourmedia.

Deeder is BZAKKK! Album Ki Boni Kara Do!

2006-10-02T18:11:00.000+08:00

Remember Asian Dub Foundation's ground-breaking album, Rafi's Revenge, featuring the Asian Zach De La Rocha, Deeder Zaman?

Well, the kid who walked away to do his own thing is back, and you can catch some of his tunes on his MySpace page.

Talking about "kids", there was this one, who's never-say-die spirit was inspiring, to say the least. So my pasta cousin and me were walking the mean streets of Janpath, our respective mothers busy doing what they do best - wasting their husband's hard-earned money. We guys went off, got McDonalds meals (the WORST fucking Macca's I've ever had. Next time, its Aloo Tikki BARGAR for me), and come back to find this 11-12 year old child trying to hawk a Vibrating-Massage-Hairbrush-gadget to the ladies. Starting price? INR 200. My mother clearly indicates she's not interested, but my maasi gives it a shot, and then says "no thank you". So the kid latches on to my cousin and me, and tries to sell the comb to us guys. He tries every trick in the book, starting with, "bhaiya, boni kara do" (boni being a concept that if your opening sale of the day is a good one, the rest of the day will be great for you), "bhaiya, aapko videsh mein masseuse ke paas nahin jaana padega" etc.
(bewakoof bacchey, masseuse ke paas jaane mein hi to mazaa hai).
We told him we weren't interested, but there he was, still touting the benefits his product would bring to our miserable lives.

Eventually, I got sick of it and took out a 20 to give him, and the kid goes, "mein bhikhari nahin hoon" (I'm not a beggar). Hats off to this kid. He wanted the money, yet he would only accept it as payment for a sale, not as alms or charity. My cousin and me (okay, mainly me) pestered him about his family, school etc., , eventually asking him if he thought I was an idiot, because nobody does BONI at like 4 pm in the evening, to which his counterargument was that he finishes school at 2.30, and then comes to work. As our conversation went on, he brought the price down to around 90 bucks, all in the name of BONI, and it makes me wonder whether to respect his persistence, or try and tell him to get over superstition. I chose the former...

...Mainly because my cousin and me decided that his dad, the real firangi would be a great target for the kid. So we told him the man with the money was the gorah, and he should sell it to him, 'coz we kids only had 20 odd rupees between the two of us. History repeated itself with Uncle Gorah, who was baffled by the child's non-acceptance of a "donation".

Left Janpath around 6ish, and lurking behind a wall, was our little warrior, kinda scared of my mother, but still with a glimmer of hope in his eye, that one of us would buy his funky wares.

What I'll never forget is "mein bhikari nahin hoon".
Work-ethic, self-respect, the never-say-die spirit. At such a tender age.
We bow to the little master.

Criminal Intent

2006-09-30T23:37:00.000+08:00

Everybody has a dream job. Personally, I'd like to be the equivalent of a CIO, COO or even a CFO in a criminal organization. C.T. Tung-san, CFO, Yakuza Nippon Pty. Ltd. Wiping my evil ass clean with dirty money, JPY (yen) in particular.

RESPECT!
Don't mess with me or my army of ninjas will rip you to shreds.

I mean, you can still have a great work ethic and strong values, despite being on the wrong side of the law. If the Robin Hood glamorization of crime on television and Hollywood flicks affects me to such a degree, I wonder what the extent of the impact on younger people in my generation is like. Hopefully, they're not half as gullible as I am.

Astral Intervention (Visions of Kali Edit)

2006-09-29T23:59:00.000+08:00

Like my old friend Feldfunker, I've come to the conclusion that my first release of any track is the shittiest. Which is why I give every single an "edit"/"mix" co-title. Please expect re-releases as and when I manage to make the sounds blend better.

This one's called "Astral Intervention" (no relation to the great goatrance outfit, Astral Projection!). A faux diamond. Needs a bit more work, but hey, my job is composition - somebody else can do the mixing. That's the lazy man's attitude. The track goes out to my brother.

We invoke Ma Kali for two reasons here - one, because this is an offshoot of a stagnant project, and two, because I believe those charlatans posing as astrologers need to feel the power of the Mother.

Wardriving With A Nokia E60

2006-09-26T17:43:00.000+08:00

Optus phone insurance finally did my phone swap over the weekend. Like the honest little cow that I am, I clearly told them I'd dropped my old 6820 on numerous occassions in Australia, India and Thailand. The wanker from Optus Insurance/Customer Claims Unit (1800 501 971), a curt dude called R**k goes, "dropped it overseas? Not covered, thanks and bye". Fucking asshole. I eventually lodged a complaint, and a claim, so this is a bittersweet victory of sorts. I now own a cool new Nokia E60.

While this is my first phone in over 4 years sans a traditional QWERTY, or even a modified Nokia keyboard, the mobile has some really nifty features, including:
- WLAN connectivity: I can go wardriving with my mobile!!
- Voice commands: I have like a goatrance ringtone, with this computerized voice going, "DINESH GANESH", or "JORDAN WANNABE", or whatever weird name I've tagged my contacts with. Its very "Boom Shankar". Don Shiva would be proud of me.
- Bluetooth: I can exchange pictures and shit without the need for wasting precious pennies on the dreaded MMS format.
- GPS: Haven't used this just yet - might prove to be pretty costly.
That's all I really care about. For more information, click here.

The one issue that I did encounter with the new phone was not being able to send SMSs, with a message saying "unable to send SMS" coming up every time I tried. This was easily solved by Optus Mobile support, who advised playing with my Message Centre settings, and swapping the existent number on my current Message Centre profile with one supplied by my service provider, viz. YES Optus. The name of the default message centre in this case is SMSC1, and the actual number to use is +61411990001.

In other news, I'm trying to figure out a way to restrict effects to a single Pattern in FL Studio, but I just can't get it. Maybe its time to give Acid and Reason a shot.
