Boy 8-Bit Mad Decent Pod Cast and free track!!!!

By boy 8 bit | June 12, 2008

Hello

Boy 8-Bit here. First Blog post and all….

As you probably know, my first E.P. ‘Suspense Is Killing Me’ for Mad Decent has been released. You may have heard the title track in Diplo’s Turtles mix from last year - and its finally available for purchase! The E.P. also contains 2 other club influenced tracks in ‘The Cricket Scores’ and ‘Bulbs Burn Out’ and an awesome remix of ‘Suspense’ by Drop The Lime.

You can get it at all the usual places, Beatport, Beat Source, Turntable Lab and iTunes. Vinyl will be available next week.

To celebrate the release I have done a little mix for Mad Decent radio… which you can get automatically if you subscribe to the podcast or by clicking here. Its a little selection of my current favourite tracks and influences all mashed together, From old computer game music, poppy stuff like LadyHawke to the hard electro stuff like The Proxy (Who’s current tunes ‘Dance in Dark’ and Raven are huge!!) Techier stuff like Stephan Bodzin , through Popof, Bumpy Bmore kick drums and loops (DJ Sega, and Say Wut ). Melodic stuff (Oxia) through to friends and crew (Fake Blood, Crookers) and tracks that are just awesome (Focker)

I hope you enjoy it!

Tracklist:

Music from Final Fight on the Amiga
Dan Le Sac - ‘Look for the Woman’ (Fake Blood Remix)
LadyHawke - ‘Paris Is Burning’ (Peaches Remix)
The Proxy - ‘Ready To Watching’
Bodzin and Huntemann - ‘Rubin’
Popof - ‘Alcoolic’
Say Wut - ‘NFL Ho’
MIA - ‘XR’2 (Just the drums)
Dj Sega - ‘Bodies Hit The Floor’
Oxia - ‘Domino’
Rekorder - ‘Rekorder 00′
Memphis Bleak - ‘Is That your chick’
Crookers and Boy 8-Bit - ‘The Crow’
Late of The Pier - Focker (Boy 8-Bit Re-edit)
Alan Silvestri - Robot Romp (From Flight of the Navigator)

Also, I recently did a podcast for the Together Night I’m playing in London on the 28th of June… Except I didnt.. I re-used a mix I did for the Loose Cannons radio show on Kiss FM last Christmas. Basically, due to communications problems I ended up with about an hour to do the mix. So I decided to submit this one. Dont think its ever been posted anywhere, so its not as if its done the rounds. But I still feel guilty.

Finally, Diplo has asked me to post some Metal tracks. So here’s one by a Finnish band called Wintersun

Wintersun Winter Madness

It makes me feel like a Viking warrior, thats all that needs to be said. The break out of the chorus from 1:42 is totally what I’m into and then the next triplet drop with the 3 part harmonies - SAFE!!I just wish the drums were a bit louder.

If anyone is interested in me posting more metal, let me know…. Anybody?
This Blog editor is doing my head in now and I’ve talked about my self enough. Bye!

    Of course you should post more METAL! How about some Swedish death 80’s-early 90’s? I saw Diplo wearing a Bathory t-shirt so MD obviously represents that stuff.
