Magnatune Remixed is a project overseen by producer
Victor Stone specifically
for Magnatune. Ridin the Faders 2 is a high energy blast of beats, voices and
tones featuring hundreds of samples from the Magnatune catalog. Producers Pat
Chilla the Beat Gorilla and lo tag blanco join Victor on RTF2 mashing together
rock, hip hop, world, opera, jazz and classical into a funky stew of hot
virtual wax.
Victor has released several albums on Magnatune under the name
fourstones, contributing
remix tracks to Lisa Debenedictis and Falik and
produced The Sun Will Come Out to Blind You for c. layne.
He is the lead programmer and administrator of the Creative Commons' remix
community web site ccmixter.org where you find many Magnatune artists.
It was on ccMixter that Victor befriended musician, producer and DJ
Pat Chilla the Beat Gorilla after Pat's remix won the WIRED Remix Contest
held on that site. Pat founded Run Off Records and his music can be heard on
US TV shows such as Last Comic Standing and America's Next Top Model.
His remix of Lisa Debenedictis "Brilliant Day" was used
as the soundtrack for the infamous lonelygirl15 video which garnered
over half a million downloads. RTF 2 includes a remastered
version of "Brilliant Daze (Days are Confused Mix)" as well as several
other original contributions by Pat.
lo tag blanco is an artist and musician in New York and a veteran of
the online remix community. His stand out work on ccMixter quickly got the
attention of Victor and Pat. Working remotely, lo tag contributed several
memorable beats for RTF 2, most notably for "Curl My Cranium" and "We Are
Not Evil."
Clarance Boddyker is a New York rapper/comedian from the South Bronx. He has recorded
rap projects in New York City, Australia and the Philippines. His highly personal, high
energy style has made him one of the most remixed artists on ccMixter and was the first
choice for the producers when looking for a custom rap for RTF 2. His authorship
and performance of "We Are Not Evil" makes it obvious it was the right choice.
