youtube crate digging
March 6th, 2009Now this is more like it. It’s been a while since I felt like I hit a vein of gold on the ole internet, but this is jaw-dropping solid. Using clips found deep deep in the belly of youtube, this artiste has sampled, cut, sliced and diced them to create some phat trax. Sure, it’s the same thing folks have been doing with James Brown and P-Funk samples for years, but there’s something fantastic about harnessing the collective talent of the crowd and resampling that.
The site has an album’s worth of tracks, and there’s no easy embedding, so go check it out over lunch or whatever…I’ve recorded the first track as a sample so you can see what I’m talking about, but the other tracks as just as good and some moments are better…this one is nice ‘cuz it starts slow so you can see what he’s doing, and then it kicks off into the stratosphere…
enjoy…
major hat tip to waxy…nice one…
Oh man, that is one funky internet garage band. If I put some crap up on youtube, do you think waxy will let ME join?
This is tremendous. I really like the characters. Plus the editing, the thought and the execution- wow.
Holy Shi-sizzle thats cool.
