Well, we celebrated the passing of Parkade in style, with party that lasted over 8 HOURS!!! Massive thanks to Andy Asylum, DJNoNo Ulysses, Topher Delcon and me for the music…
Then this video might give you some laughs, or revenge. This is a video mashup/cutup I’ve done using the excellent and highly recommended Mistabishi and his insanely genius Printer Jam track, mixing in the original video at the start, but 64.6343% more Office Space, 13.45322% more cats and 14.4357% more insane YouTube people beating up printers, office equipment or other people.
I hope he nor Hospital Records mind, I really recommend you go buy ‘Drop’ the album it’s on, it’s already one of my favourite CDs of 2009 mixing dubstep, liquid and jumpup drum and bass, Burial-style ambience, and even uptempo rave/old skool dnb piano numbers. Highly recommended.
If the above wanky new open source FLV player doesn’t work for you (you can even embed this on your own sites – feel free!) then I’ve also uploaded it to Vimeo (BOO! to YouTube and Fox who nixed it immediately cos Fox won’t allow Office Space to be uploaded there) and you can download it below:
DJ Yoda should be well known to long time listeners of Radio Clash (and anyone into cutups, mashup history, turntablism or music generally), and if not, why not? Actually don’t answer that…
Anyway as part of the Data Transmission podcast he’s created a great Cut and Paste Country & Western mix mix, mixing country, blues and hiphop – sounds like an odd combination? Not really – from Wyclef’s dubplate with Kenny Rogers, to the like of Gangstagrass and millions of mashups the country/hop hybrid has been well done. Even I’ve DJ’d a few of the tracks in this mix as part of the country sets I did in Second Life.
But here are some greats – Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire goes urban, Littlest Hobo and Duellin Banjo drops, and Dolly Parton…need you want anything more?
After nearly 3 years the Parkade is no more – so come play with poledancing Daleks, pheonixes and falling giant wheels as Parkade goes out with a bang…literally.
Here’s my 2 hour (well 1:45 as I had technical difficulties at the start) mix for the last ever night of the Parkade.
Pretty proud of the last hour or so – I wanted to put as many Parkade classics but also banging tunes in one place as humanly possible…
Here are the pics from last night’s Parkade finale – yes I know it’s a ‘virtual space’ but I’ve been involved in some way or other since Andy first showed his new club to me in May 2006. It was sad to see it go, but we gave it a massive storming send off.
Thanks to those at the NuRepublik sim for letting us say goodbye, to Amanda Shinji for building the place one last time, and to Topher Delcon, Andy Asylum and Amanda for doing great sets – and the
No thanks goes to my soundcard and Winamp crashing it on Vista, which meant a quick switch around and reboot delaying my set by 15 mins…and those pesky Daleks (Derek was fairly well behaved wanting to poledance apart from his fox molestation fetish, but Charles had to be transported to another dimension for threatening to surprise someone by falling 1,000s of feet onto his or her head!).
Oh and we’re wheely sorry about the accident at the end
Audio is recorded, and I think Topher and Amanda recorded theirs, mine will follow shortly tonight.
Dov Watanabe, one of the Parkade regulars also posted some pictures and said some very nice words about our club. I remember giving out loads of t-shirts at the end of the night that I designed for the Parkade, I hope sometime in the future they’ll wear them and think happy thoughts of what we all achieved with the Parkade. To have created such fond memories makes it all worthwhile, and less sad for all of us.
