Ok. I’m giving away a brand spankin new Line 6 POD Studio UX2 recording interface ($200 value!) for the best remix that comes in. All you need to do is:

1. Create a super badass remix of one of my songs (or several remixes, there is no limit). Source files are here.

2. Submit the remix by emailing me with an MP3 attachment, or by uploading them to ccmixter.org and notifying me by email. Me and my team of remix experts will pick the most awesomest remix of the month. And give you the prize.

Hop to it!

PS. Any State Shirt remix posted on ccMixter (or sent to me) from November 11 to December 17 will be eligible. And yes, there will be another contest starting December 18!

OMG!!111 This Is Old is making it around thar interwebs.

• ccMixter is running a call for remixes and samples. First remix is in!
• On iTunes now!
• Pensatos says some nice things
• I guess I’m a rock sellout
• Metawelle.net mentioned the ccMixter remix thing. I need to brush up on my German (ok, I don’t know any German). Let’s just hope it’s good!
• WKNC in Raleigh, NC played it. WRVU in Nashville played it. KUCR in Riverside, CA played it. Thanks!

Download the audio source files from my new album and go crazy, have fun, make some remixes. Then post your remix and your own samples on ccMixter or send them to me and I’ll use your audio to create my next album!

Call for Remixes

Remix a song, post it on ccMixter, and let me know. I’ll feature all of the remixes on stateshirt.com and will be rewarding the best and most creative remixes with a few goodies and a spot on a (future) This Is Old remix album. Submit a remix before Nov 17 and be entered to win a Line 6 POD Studio UX2. Remix early and remix often!

Call for Samples

I’m creating a new album of music comprised entirely of Creative Commons licensed audio samples. It will be a process of merging, tweaking, remixing and piecing together all of your work. Could be drumbeats, guitar parts, a cappella vocals, noises, accordion, part of a song you never finished, screaming, spoken words, whatever you want to send. Submit audio samples for this project on ccMixter or send them my way. Thanks!

Audio Source files

Audio source files for the new album are now available. This includes every instrument, loop and vocal track. Have fun!

A few weeks back c.layne asked me to remix one of his songs off his new album Shark Week. I was really struck by the first song on the album “You Think You’re So Clever” so I figured that would be a good one to rip apart and reconstruct! If you haven’t already heard it, check out his new album, it’s very good. Listen to the original track and the remix below:

Kobol’s remix of State Shirt’s “Straw Man” will lead off their upcoming album Extempore. Check out the remix on their Myspace page. Extempore comes out November 6, 2007. Kobol mixes low tempo beats, freestyle jams, jazzy vibes, audio manipulation and gritty beats into an amazing musical landscape. Like their website says “A jazz album for tweekheads and an electronic album for jazzheads.” Check out their new album and the State Shirt remix!

Their last album Broken Ebony was listed on XLR8R.com’s Top 10 album picks in 2006.
