Gigi Barocco shows us how its DONE!

As a budding producer myself I understand how hard it is to balance making a technically good track while still keeping the spontoneity, flair and style alive in the track.

Enter Gigi! Compare this track to the original and he has walked the remixing tight rope, and came out with a winner. His track rips away the best parts of the original and brings something else to the table. Its not just the original, with a new bassline.







Here are the two tracks.

DCUP - Killing It!!!

Known in his home country Australia, but relatively unknown around the world but relatively unknown before the release of his infectious remix "We Speak No Americano", DCUP is definitely one to keep your eye on. Here are some of his other tracks that may or may not have slipped under your radar.

And just for fun, here is the original song DCUP sampled from for "We Speak No Americano"

Something New!?? Not really

I am a budding producer. I produce under the name "Get Low!". I follow all the big producers religiously, trying to emulate them in every way. Lately I have been amazed at how rampant sampling has become. I'm not talking about the odd drum loop or riff. I'm talking about whole songs being effectively taken!

Check these ones out!

Florence and the Machine - You got the love



Duck Sauce - Barbara Streisand



Hope this has opened your eyes! I could put many more tracks up but this is just the tip of the iceberg. I might start digging around old record crates.

This website is an exellent search engine to find out what song has been sampled or what samples a song has used!

Artist Profile - Phonat and Phonat Mashups and Remixes

Unique, innovative, rule breaking, genre-spanning…just a few of the plaudits that have been used to describe the works of Phonat, the seven foot mop-haired Italian who’s been catching the ears and attention of the ‘tastemaking set’.

Originally from Florence, Italy, Phonat (aka Michele Balduzzi) was first spotted by MofoHifi Records on MySpace and they were so impressed with the 21 year old that the loving label bosses persuaded him to leave his parents’ idyllic country farm outside Florence and move to a bed sit in Canning Town. Armed only with a five-year-old computer and an electric guitar, Phonat dutifully relocated to London in late 2007 and the rest, as they say, is history.





Now having released his highly praised debut album, ‘Phonat’, he has created a panoply of chopped up riffs swirled around murky basslines, a world where guitar-driven dancefloor fillers meet bleep-filled fantasies for fun, friendship and possibly more.

An aside note, recently Phonat was interviewed for CM Music Magazine and he gave away a big production tip. He runs almost all of his channels, even the master through CamelPhat!
