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".
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.
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. Listen now, or download your MP3 copy now.
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.
Watch the original video of Roop Tera Mastana, featuring Bollywood actor and Member of Parliament, Rajesh Khanna and Saif Ali Khan's mommy, Sharmila Tug-whore Tagore here. Or on this blog...
Happy Australia Day, and a Happy Republic Day (Indian)
I decided to make a series of megamixes where a Bollywood "inspired" copy is followed by the original. No fancy mashups - just a Pretender vs the Real McCoy battle. Future volumes to follow, depending on the response to this release, and of course user-submitted track-listings, for the next work in the series .
Sound like fun? Wait till you listen to it ;-).
