the videoband: the saga continues

cut that bitch up

I mentioned THE VIDEOBAND! about a week ago. I hope I gave it ample time to sink into your marrow filled bones.

The way these guys cut/slice/rip up vocals, rhythms, and re-dub tracks is reallllly appealing to me. It’s probably just the fact that they lay a dirty, synthy, stuttery guitar sound over all their tracks. (read: vst, bag raiders, knightlife etc etc) –but I couldn’t care less.

–And I’m not complaining.

Dear Videoband,

GIVE US MORE. <3

I’m going to quote/paraphrase/borrow what CRLZZZ from hipsterrunoff said about Yelle - Ce Jeu: (ok, full quote)

“Ce Jeu” Remixes are the new “Drugs In My Body” Remixes are the new “D.A.N.C.E” Remixes are the new ______ remixes, etc etc.

INAHALE THIS MY FRIENDS!!
Yelle - Ce Jeu (slaughtered by the videoband rmx)

Up next, Rihanna - Umbrella. Now, from the day this original track was conceived I avoided it like the plague due to my hatred of everything that leaves this girl’s whorish mouth. I was surprised by a remix I heard of it on my boy CITS‘ website (rest in pieces, cits the music blog), and I told myself that remixes of Rihanna could be acceptable.

PRIME EXAMPLE: Videoband thankfully throws some more layers over her god-awful voice. Paper bagging it so to speak.

Thanks, Videoband, for making abominations like these more palatable, and making hipster children believe Rihanna could be cool.

    By the way I just posted a new mix on my site http://www.treatiseon.com that you might like. I wish I had gotten my hands on this song and the Sugababes song earlier (I only found your site today) so I could have fit it in. Anyways, have a rad day.

    you might be gay, but the fact that you can listen to umbrellas all day means you’re just tolerant.

    I don’t know if you’ve heard it, but the remix of David Guetta by The Videoband is breathtaking.
