World’s first ‘mixable’ YouTube video: the future or gimmick?

• Written by: Christen Reutens
• Filed under: Videos: technology

Are remixable videos the future for electronic music? Designer Henrik Leichsenring demonstrates why interactive videos could become big in the DJ world, with this, the world’s first ever mixable YouTube video.

Remarkably Leichsenring, along with art director Sofia Gillström, have created a music video experiment on YouTube that allows users to ‘remix’ a video as it plays in real-time, using a jump-in timeline-fixed sample bank that’s embedded into the actual video.

You can play with it for yourself above (wait for the video to fully load).

Is Remute a little bit macabre? ‘Absolutely’

• Written by: Zack Rico
• Filed under: Videos: remute

As if Remute’s music wasn’t weird enough already, up creeps the Hamburg-based producer with a positively macabre low-fi video for his new single ‘Absolutely’.

At the end of a corridor we find a masked goon playing with a large medicine ball, before he’s unexpectedly strangled to death. Then a hatchet goes to work, cutting out his insides to reveal some raw meat, before it’s tossed into a frying pan with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Mmm, tasty?

This week comes more proof that UK garage is back for the bam bam, for the reload. North London’s Ms. Dynamite, one of UK garage’s most successful ever artists, has teamed up with drum & bass / breaks producer DJ Zinc for the explosive new single ‘Wile Out’ (video above). It’s safe as!

Like Ms. Dynamite, Zinc took a year or two out of the music scene in the late noughties after he grew tired of music, but now he’s back with a new sound that he likes to call ‘crack house’.

WMC track: Booka Shade, MANDY ‘Donut’

Could Get Physical’s Booka Shade and M.A.N.D.Y. revisit the hysteria that came with their 2005 electro house anthem ‘Body Language’?

We will find out over the coming weeks as their second ever joint release ‘Donut’ continues to gather steam on the Berlin posse’s newly launched label Living The Dream.

Like ‘Body Language’, ‘Donut’ sounds completely different to anything that is out there at the moment, and yet, it is instantly recognisable as a Booka Shade and M.A.N.D.Y. track. There’s something about its cute synths, and child-like innocence that makes you want to wrap it up in swaddling clothes and lie it on a record platter.

The video too, is suitably whimsical, and runs like a day in the life of a cardboard box.

Mr. C and Adultnapper’s big gamble?

• Written by: Zack Rico

It takes a brave soul to attempt to rap over a minimal house record, but if anyone was going to do it it might as well be The Shamen’s lovable rogue Mr. C.

The Londoner’s latest Sycophant Slags single ‘Keep Off’ (co-produced with Adultnapper), valiantly attempts to inject some fun into the minimal sound with rhymes such as “Mr. C’s in the house...everybody go rocking the party right”, lyrics that will probably cause the average chin-stroking minimal fan to snicker.

However, with the track’s Sky’s the limit chorus coming straight off D-Train’s 1982 dance hit ‘Keep On’, it’s clear that Mr. C and Adultnapper had their tongues firmly inside their cheeks when they put the track together.
