stAllio! - mash smarter not harder out now!

2008-05-01T00:11:00.001-04:00

mash smarter not harder isn't just an EP. it's an audio manifesto, a roadmap to a mashed-up future. the goal of this EP isn't just to generate downloads or make you shake your ass—though it promises to do both—but to spawn a new golden age of mashups.

with this EP, stAllio! introduces a brand-new style that takes the mashup aesthetic to the next level. samples shuffle in and out, then back in again before you even notice them. the music flips, skips, and hops between your favorite hits so effortlessly you could be forgiven for thinking it was all meant to be this way. this new style—whatever you call it: post-mashup, dance collage, new-school bootleg—mixes the energy and danceability of Girl Talk with the subversive wit of Negativland and Cassetteboy.

if you love mashups, if you used to love mashups but nowadays find them a bit boring, or if you're just interested in remixing, sampling, audio manipulation, and the like, you need to download mash smarter not harder immediately. get it now and get on the bandwagon while there's still room.

is this EP as good as we say it is? is it even possible for a record to live up to this much hype? the only way to find out is to download it right now! you've got nothing to lose, because the download is FREE!

may 1: mash smarter not harder

2008-04-28T15:47:00.000-04:00

on may 1, bad taste will release mash smarter not harder, a new EP from stAllio! that promises to take the mashup aesthetic to the next level.

if you love mashups, if you used to love mashups but nowadays find them a bit boring, or if you're just interested in remixing, sampling, audio manipulation, and the like, you'll want to download mash smarter not harder the moment it comes out.

mash smarter not harder will be released as a free mp3 download shortly after 12:00 a.m. EST on may 1, 2008. you can view the cover art now at flickr.

new bad taste releases

2008-04-01T10:03:00.000-04:00

two new bad taste releases out today!

+++

BACONHANGER - "hoosier holocauspitality" // bad taste #28

baconhanger's debut, hoosier holocauspitality, may be bad taste's most brutal, unrelentingly punishing release yet. the audio equivalent of a middle finger in your face, hoosier holocauspitality is 15 tracks of intense breakcore and gabber, jacked up on sample cutups and circuitbent toys. from start to finish, there's no time to relax, no place to hide from the aural assault.

http://badtaste4life.com/mp3/bt28/

+++

UNSZENE - "reckless stepchild" // bad taste #29

5 years after it's initial very limited release, reckless stepchild is finally unleashed to a wider audience. circuit-bent electronics & mutilated tape loops produce cascading waves of static that give way to intermittent rhythmic underpinnings in a true free-form spirit. lo-fi & raw in nature, unszene will lead you to a world of analog in decay. featuring collaborations with bobby vomit & unusable signal.

http://badtaste4life.com/mp3/bt29/

all hail infinite decay
glory be to impermanence

handmade cds: AWIA parts is parts

2007-07-17T22:53:00.000-04:00

the first 10 handmade cd copies of parts is parts by animals within animals are now available.

i actually finished making these a month or two ago, but have been waiting until i could get them scanned before posting about it, both for posterity and so that potential buyers can see what they're buying (and select the copy of their choice from the available stock).

this cd release is limited and numbered. each disc is includes fully handmade packaging and a hand-decorated cd face, and is signed by the artist (in this case, me, but other members will someday make their own). cost for this first run is $10 each.

disc #10 has already been claimed, but discs #1-#9 are now available. check out the flickr set to see all the designs, and contact stAllio! to reserve your favorite... before someone else buys it!

parts is parts now available

2007-04-20T00:12:00.001-04:00

parts is parts, the new album from collage collective animals within animals, is now available for free download from badtaste4life.com!

parts is parts is 77 and a half minutes of intense noise and ridiculous sampling from the people who brought you the 2001 collage epic mono a mono. this release blends the madcap sound of AWIA's legendary live shows with mellancamp cutups and other more "traditional" style audio collage to create AWIA's hardest, craziest release ever.

this free mp3 release will be followed up by an extremely limited run of cds with handmade cover art. stay tuned for more details about that. for now, just enjoy the mp3s!

parts is parts: coming 4/20

2007-04-08T18:13:00.000-04:00

i'm pleased to announce that parts is parts, the new full-length release by animals within animals, will be officially released to the public as a free download at 12:01a.m. EDT (or shortly after) on friday, april 20, 2007, exclusively from badtaste4life.com.

this "midnight" release means that those who live in the pacific time zone will be lucky enough to download it as early as 9:01p.m thursday night, while those who are cursed to live in europe or asia will have to wait as long as mid-morning or even friday afternoon before they get the chance. new zealand will be particularly screwed, as they won't get to download it until around 5p.m. friday evening. sucks to be them.

for the hardcore fans, the new album, AWIA's first full-length release since 2001's mono a mono, will also be released in an extremely limited run of CDRs with handmade cover art, as well as extra goodies.
