Mixtapes with a purpose!

The title sounds heroic, doesn’t it? …. We DJ’s know why we are making these mixtapes, right? We want people to enjoy our music choice and show of our skills, but most of all we want to be noticed and what would even better: we want go get booked by the biggest partys around! Some mixtapes though are not made to publicise the dj making it, but rather the event they are hosting or playing at! Anyway, I think this counts as a proper introduction for the next few mixtapes!

e-Minded
Is known as one of the guys behind Needle On The Record a well known Belgian party in Leuven. Here is his Filthy Angel Mix as a small promotion for the party concept but of course for him as well! A lot of unreleased/unsigned tracks, so definitely worth listening too.

Geht’s Noch?
The immens popular flemish duo is scoring very well with their latest release “Horny”. The track is even getting played on national radio (Studio Brussel of course). They are also working on a new concept called “This Is Belgium” the first broadcast was last week and more will come later, also keep an eye on the blog because we will post some interesting facts about it later! The mixtape ran out of download limit, so until they pass me a new link, you can only stream.

Zombies For Money!

Last week I talked about Zombies For Money, a new project from Dj Manaia and Klipar. I could start typing some stuff about their first (free!) EP, but because Manaia and Klipar sent me such a nice written introduction I’m just going to drop it here and let them do the “talking”.

What Is A Zombie?
Although there are many different definitions for the word “zombie” from a West African Snake God to a West Indian victim of voodoo, what we are really talking about here is a reanimated, human corpse that seeks to devour the flesh of living human beings.

Can Zombie Outbreaks Be Discerned In The Archaeological Record?
Hard zombie evidence is always difficult to uncover. The bones of the living dead are not physically different from those of the conventionally deceased. An archaeologist looking for evidence of zombies should look for corpses that have been either decapitated or brained. As we all know, these two methods are the only two ways of stopping the living dead. Of course, a crushed skull does not necessarily prove the presence of the undead. If possible, scholars should research the methods of warfare used by the people in question. If decapitation and braining were not part of their “M.O.,” then cranial trauma might be a red flag.

The remains of a zombie’s victim may also tell us as much, if not more, than the remains of an actual zombie. Look for bones that have been marked by human teeth but lack the scrapes of a butchering implement. This may be evidence of the living dead, since traditional human cannibals have a tendency to ‘prepare’ their meals with scrapers and other tools.

Who Are Zombies For Money?
Zombies For Money are the ultimate 21st century zombie musicians! Fighting against the system they want take control of the record world industry… And destroy it! They are Manaia Shambling and Putrid Klipar II.

Zombies For Money – Vitiated December Mixtape

Come to the Dark Side

First heard this tune at Jacked! Leuven, awesome party with Mightyfools, Project Cyborg, … and Dj Manaia. He was the one dropping this track. I told myself, damn I’ve got to know who’s edit this is. I had a small chat with DJ Manaia and …. totally forgot to ask him about it. Anyway, thank god for social networks like Facebook because Dj Manaia was so kind to reply and tell me it was a track from Klipar who Dj Manaia is currently working with on a side project called “Zombies For Money”.

The track itself then is something for the Star Wars fans among us, it’s what you might call an “updated” version of The Imperial March. Some kicks and beats, a break here and there and all I need now is my toy lightsaber!
