CGS MIXTAPE: VOL II
DOWNLOAD HERE
Here it is, mixtape 2 from CGS. I spent a whole 3 hours choosing tracks and arranging them in some kind of order. As with last time, I have tried to put together a bunch of tracks that not well known but are still good. Theres a range of different stuff on there and I hope that most people will find something they can enjoy on there. Again I have made sure all tracks are properly tagged and have embedded artwork created by yours truly.
01. Asher Roth - A Milli (Remix)
Asher Roth became well known with his song "I Love College" which I felt perfectly summed up the University experience that my friends and I have had. He is not a fantastic emcee or lyricist, but he is some what charming in his honest delivery and lack of pretention. This is his verse of the Lil Wayne track A Milli which became a bit of a going out anthem for the demons at Cortis road, as pooor Jamila at Fucking Dance could tell you. Joe doesn't like him, but I find him unoffensive and entertaining.
02. Lil Wayne - Paper Planes (Remix)
I hate MIA, I cannot fucking stand her. I think she makes terrible music with terrible lyrics of almost no substance and is only popular because people are told she's individual and artistic. SHE FUCKING SUCKS. That being said, when I heard Paper Planes I was really annoyed, because the track was great, but it had MIA's useless droney shit spewd all over it, I do though like Lil' Wayne's flow and voice, so when I stumbled across him over the Paper Planes track I was very happy. It is a ice cream and shit sandwich however, as this mix does also have and 50 Cent and Young Jeezy on it, who are both useless.
03. Ol' Dirty Bastard - Operator feat. The Clipse and Pharrell
This is one of the tracks from ODB's unreleased final solo album, which was recorded fairly close to his death. The album is hit and miss, with more hits than misses, with Operator being one of the hits. It is suitably mad, as with most of ODB's material and has really great production from Pharrell, who would later go on to be VERY successful. The full album is available through illegal means, and doesn't look like it's going to be released officially any time soon.
04. Confucius Mc - Track 4 demo
This is another demo from Confucius MC, a fantastic talent in the London rap scene and a good friend of mine. I put another one of his demos on the last CGS Mixtape, which along with this track, are my personally favourites in his material. I have had few people ask me about Confucius' stuff and have enjoyed it, so I thought "Why not pop another demo on here!". Soon I will do a write up of his two mixtapes which can be downloaded from DatPiff. He has a unique flow with complex lyrical content and socio-conscient content.
05. Fergie vs. Sonic - Glamorous
A mashup of the Fergie track and the music from Green Hill Zone in Sonic The Hedgehog. It's catchy as AIDs and works really well.
06. PoleJR - Chocolate Rain: An Original Remix by PoleJR
The classic and best Chocolate Rain DnB Remix which I went through a phase of playing lots and lots. It's hilarious.
07. Alkaline Trio - Burn (65daysofstatic Remix)
I first heard this on the Burn 7inch single, and I fucking loved it straight away. It is very emotive, has a fantastic build and is totally different, and better, than the original single from Alkaline Trio. It's very distinctively 65daysofstatic and will appeal to any fans of them, or interesting electronic music. It even has a little breakbeat flavouring at the end!
08. Soulwax - The Beatles vs. Kraftwerk
I don't know if this is actually from Soulwax but that is how it came tagged when I found it on p2p networks many years ago. I am a fan of both The Beatles and Kraftwerk so this mix caught my eye. It's a great little mashup that I used in my Snow Day video. The electronics work very well with the strings and have a fantastic effect.
09. CGM - My Violent Heart (Remix)
I went through a phase of remixing Nine Inch Nails songs as they released the multitrack files, then I became more and more frustrated with it, so I haven't done any in a while. I ended up doing about 4 or 5 different remixes. They are not all that great, but this one is one of the better ones. I never actually liked the original version of My Violent Heart so when I started on this mix I decided to try and make a version of it which I thought was better. I don't know if it is, but I still like it more.
10. The Locust - Wizards of War
A cool electro remix of a track by The Locust from their rare remix EP. It's electro and cool.
11. Cutting Pink With Knives - Aylburton
One of my favourite CPWK tracks which never got properly released, which is a shame really. It's got a really catchy melody and is perfect pop for people like me. Sadly they broke up a while ago, but you can still get their last album Populuxxe, of which this track is a cut off, from the Holy Roar Records Bigcartel, for a measly £2. The album is much the same as this, but with more blast beats and electronic induced headaches. JUST BUY IT ALL READY!
12. The Dillinger Escape Plan - I Don't Want You Playing With My Phone
This is a weird little song that DEP made for Revolver magazine, when they used to get bands to make a song in a couple of hours on their 8 track recorder and mic. Well, needless to say, DEP came along and did a ridiculous track consisting of strange vocal noises and fiddly mathy drum machine lines and guitar strums. I have never ever seen it even talked about anyway where else, or included by anyone in any discographies, so I think this is a real rarity.
13. The Shitty Limits - We Had a Gang
A UK hardcore band in a similar vein to The Bronx. They really do stand alone in the UK scene at the moment, and are really fantastic energetic garage punk hardcore. Plus, they've got all their out of print releases to download for free on their MYSPACE page, what lovely fellas! And they hate hipsters.
14. Alexisonfire - Boiled Frogs (Radio 1 Sessions)
Pretty self explanitary really. This is from the 7inch single for Boiled Frogs. It's a good performance of a good song.
15. Death From Above 1979 - Dead Wombs
Most people will recognise the intro of this track from the heavily popularised remix by the dickheads in Crystal Castles, who for some reason called their remix of this track Untrust Us. It is TOTALLY different from the remix you've probably heard. Instead of being a hipster electro dance track, it's a hipster noise rock song. I don't especially like DFA1979, but this is a good song. Nice and noisy, just how all music should be.
16. Run, Walk! - God I Hate Old Friends
RW! are one of those bands to look out for. They're young and energetic, and not to mention lovely fellas, who are making some really interesting noisy indie tunes, in a similar-ish vein to DFA1979, but much much better and more creative. They only have two members, but with their later material pull off a layered and atmospheric sound. Check them on MYSPACE and try and catch them on tour. They also have a 4 way split record coming out on Holy Roar Records soon, with 3 other awesome bands.
17. Eyvind King - I Am The Dead feat. Mike Patton
It wouldn't be a CGS mixtape without a Mike Patton rarity being thrown in. This is a very atmospheric and beautiful track with Patton providing some vocals and electronics.
18. Bon Iver - Skinny Love (Live on Later With Jools Hollands)
A heart wrenching live version of the fantatic Bon Iver song which soo many people seem to have fallen in love with. This performance seems especially emotional and is a really great counterpiece to the original.
I hope you enjoy this mix. If you do like it, or hate it, then leave a comment or hit me up on Twitter
