Mixin and matchin the masters to the max with Max Tannone

Max Tannone has a particular talent for the mash-up. I ran across one of his remix projects on the internet. I was really impressed so I tracked him down and asked him a few questions.

Where are you from?:

I am from upstate NY but now live in NYC. I actually lived in NYC a long time ago, moved away, and am now back.

How old are you?:

24.

How long have you been doing what you do?:

About 8 years. I began making really basic DJ style blends - learning how to find the tempo of an acapella and matching it to a beat. After this I began making beats. I was heavily into the Neptunes at the time, and used to read through the forums on their message board. This was around 2002 when like 45% of songs on urban radio were produced by them. Anyway, from here I just kept at it making my own tracks.

Its kind of funny because I wasn't really into doing mash-ups or anything when I made Jaydiohead. I was strictly trying to place original beats with artists and was frustrated with the whole process - so I made it out of fun and sort of became known for it. That being said I try to add a lot of my own elements, rather than just a basic "mash-up".

What made you decide to do these remix projects in the first place?:

I guess just experimentation. I remember listening to "I Might Be Wrong" by Radiohead and thinking that it basically was a hip-hop track - and I went from there. "Wrong Prayer" and "Ignorant Swan" sat for like 9 months before I made the other 8 original Jaydiohead tracks. I definitely didn't think people would be really into it.

My Beastie Boys and Mos Dub projects were both challenges. I'm just trying to find interesting ways to put tunes together, while hopefully adding some of my own touches in the process. All of these projects are like tributes to my musical heroes. I hope that doesn't sound corny.

What's next?:

To be honest, I'm not sure. I have to wait until the idea finds me...!

J.me.J is keeping it hi-fi, so that you can hear every last Glitch!

J.me.J (Integrated Grime Unit, Skanky Panky Records, Theoretic Records, Foosh, Treehouse Records)

Edmonton, AB

A DJ of 10+ yrs and producing for 8 of those, music is a natural aspect for J.me.J. A drummer since the age of 5 and picking up guitar, keyboard, saxaphone, and anything that makes a tone, he found that producing was a natural graduation. Fusing elements of classical to metal music, hip hop, and mashing the genres together, he found his niche in the glitch hop and dubstep world. Consistency, Integrity, and passion for what he does is what makes his music stand out from the rest. Tired of hearing the same old patterns and layouts of other tracks made him realize he wanted to change that. And his tracks do morph and keep u emmersed in a world of particular and well thought out sounds, with special attention to the staging and overall quality. His constant thirst for better production and sound are quickly making him a force to reckon with. Along side the crew he co-founded with Glitchy and Scratchy and Application, the Integrated Grime Unit of Vancouver is now the premier crew for all things glitch and dubstep. He is also responsible for the immerging scene in Edmonton, Alberta, mentoring the likes of up and coming artists, the Knight Riderz, and Prime of The Dub Affiliates. 2010 is proving to be a rocket start for him label wise with a release on Skanky Panky Records, theoretic records, and an upcoming EP, singles on various other labels forthcoming. Much more to come out of the studio of J.me.J!

Book these guys for your party and you will have HavocNdeeD

HavocNdeeD is a truly live Bass Music show, purely turntable-ism, Live Drumming, and Midi Controlling. Not to mention the fact that they produce killer tracks. And are truly Multi Genre Djs and Producers.

OB-one was kind enough to answer a few questions. About what HavocNdeeD is. And what they do.

How long have you each been in the game?:

-I (OB-one) have been DJ'ing for 15 years & producing for about 10 of those years. J.Paul has been DJ'ing for about 5 years but doing music most of his life with playing numerous instruments as well as being in bands for close to 12 years before turning to production.

How long have you been performing together? and do you always play with a live drum set?:

-we have been producing & performing together for just over a year now. we actually have different versions of our live set:

1) a 2x4 DJ setup

2) J.Paul w/1 turntable w/a mixer along w/a synth/midi controller & a full turntable set-up for me

3) J.Paul on a full midi drum set & a full turntable setup along w/a midi controller for me

...our goal with our live set is to be able to someday perform every aspect of our songs along the lines of pendulum

What type of bass music do you like most Dubstep, Glitch-hop, Drum n Bass, etc...:

-although our sets & production are dubstep driven, we don't really favor any particular genre as it is all related & just different bpm's to us. haha, we try not be be genre or bpm snobs

What are you musical influences?:

-we both have very diverse musical backgrounds. our influences range from reggae to punk to industrial to metal to classic hip hop. we don't believe you should ever limit yourself by being closed minded...good music is good music no matter what genre it is

cheers,
-OB-one.

A few words from wizual

A few words from WIZUAL:

My name is Joseph Juranek. I'm from the Czech Republic. I started producing 18 months ago. I started because I love the bass, power, and atmosphere of Dubstep. A month ago I started producing Glitch-Hop. I get inspiration from everything around me. Such as weather, mood, etc... I am currently starting to learn to play and gain experience for DJing. My big dream is to one day play an event in the U.S..

Taking cues form the masters with Ben Gibbard

Here is another large influence of mine Ben Gibbard. This guy has done so much that I just Wikipediaed him to get all this info together. Benjamin Gibbard (born August 11, 1976 in Bremerton, Washington) is an American musician known as a member of several successful indie rock bands. He is the lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service, also known for his project ¡All-Time Quarterback! and his first band, Pinwheel. He is married to the actress and singer Zooey Deschanel.

Gibbard spent his formative years in Bremerton, Washington during the time of the grunge musical explosion during the early 1990s. He graduated from Olympic High School in 1994. Growing up he was influenced by Elliott Smith, Nirvana, The Stone Roses, Superchunk, Built to Spill, Teenage Fanclub, Pixies, Pavement, Fugazi, and Hall & Oates. He also cites Jack Kerouac as a major influence. He studied Engineering at Western Washington University. He was raised Roman Catholic and referred to himself as "this indoctrinated Catholic even though I haven't been to church of my own volition in 10 or 15 years now." He and his band Death Cab for Cutie are also known for their contributions to veganism and animal rights. However, in a 2003 interview Gibbard stated that while he had previously been a vegan, he had recently become a pescetarian.
