OK, this has to be the funniest piece of prose I've ever read on the Yello digest.... You rock GCR! "riper and depper than an ocean of used diapers" is not strong enough to describe Hasselhoff output, but you do a good job. ;) I can't answer your question entirely. But from what I understand with major labels, the management usually decides who should remix whoever else, usually stipulated in the multi-year contract the band or person signed. So, that way you get a lot of interlabel remixing (i.e. remixing of artists also signed to the parent label or company). But I know that's only one facet, and I'm sure there's lots of other situations where someone else other than mgmt makes the decision...

Query to the musicianstyle groupnerds: How does Act X get into the pants of Act Y as a remixer? Who propositions whom? Does David Hasslehoff sidle up next to to Oliver Lieb at the Secret Members Only Night Train 84 Club and say, "My music stinks, and is riper and deeper than an ocean of used diapers - please rescue my song before anyone notices! Help me Oliver-wan Liebnobi, you're my only hope!" Or does Moby significantly, salaciously and solicitously wink across the outdoor bar seating area to where are seated The Other Two? Does he then saunter or sashay over to them carrying a couple of frosty glasses filled with coloful and partially frozen contents under a paper umbrella? Does he break the ice with a levelly delivered, killer [but not for animals] pickup line? Moby: "You know, I'm a remixer. [Ahhhh.] I do uhhhmmm... trancey club tracks, I do abrasive rock covers, I do ambient sleepy stuff, that type of thing. Would you like to hear something sweet? Go ahead. Take a listen. Whaddya say we uhhh... go back to your studio and uhmmm... talk?" Steven Morris: "My bandmates're there." Moby: "Bonus!" Gillain Gilbert: "You're a rascal! Hee hmm hmmm!" Or is it all done via Labels or Managers or is it lottery? What's the deal? [I mean, really, who hooked David Hasslehoff and Oliver Lieb together? What were they looking for, a total cancel-out of all of the musical energy in the known 'verse?? The king of purged-lunch-on-wax all dolled up purty for the party by the master of music! I just can't even imagine what the result must have been. I'm too afraid to purchase the single - half from the embarassment of knowingly owning any of Michael Knight's croons, and half for fear that despite his near-deific powers of musical magick, the Supreme High Elf from the Black Forest Himself might just have failed to not totally sully his image against what I can only think of as insurmountable odds. Egad! [Afternote: Anyone with direct personal experience with the tracks in question that is also not prone to deceit should consider his or her-self invited to either confirm or deny the need for the fears expressed in this matter. - Editor] Just so's this is topical, this question has arisen resultant from the current remix contests involving D+B source materials. I got to wondering, outside of a contest such as this, how does the fictional Ben The Amateur Remixer "get into the in crowd" and become our still fictional but somewhat more successful Ben The Almighty Wizard of World-reknowned Wax-whacks? Do I just call up our man Boris and say, "Hey cuz, I got your number, right, I seen you up in this magazine. Dude tole me you do some tracks, right. I wanna be like git wichoo and make some beats. So call me back I live in DC. And I like to, you know, we get togethah, we make some money. I heard you's dope, you da man. I got some fresh tracks.. and um, I make hits. I don't have no records out yet, but I make hits. So please call me back at them numbers, and if my mother say... I may be at my grandmother house... if... if my mother answer the phone she'll give you my cousin's beeper number. So let's wax this off, allright cuz? Peace out! Money nine niiiiine...." ... and then wait for his breathless and anticipation-heavy return call? Party. Rock. --gcr

Remix Contest Confusion
by Jon Kamm 08 Jul '04

08 Jul '04

Hi, I would like to clear up some confusion. The Winners I posted are for the Euro Contest not the Yello Re-Mix Contest The Yello Re-Mix Contest results will not be available until Saturday, July 17th The Euro-Mix Contest involved re-mixing a classical tune. Check out the entries here. http://www.start-ab.com/trax04/remixe2004.html The Yello Re-mix contest will have much better prizes. The main prize being a day with Dieter and Boris in their studios. Hopefully since the Euro - remix contest had 41 entries and they gave prizes to the top 5 we can look forward to maybe the top 10 entries winning something in the Yello Re-mix contest because of it's staggering number of entries (over 300) anyway we still have 11 days to be excited and root for our favorite track. Enjoy it while we can. Could be a long time until something this exciting happens again in the Yello World. , Jonathan

Hi Mark, The Polka track in the remix contest is another example. I can't hear anything in it except Dieter's vocals from the original Soul on Ice. Another example is De Phazz's remix of Squeeze Please. To me it's a different song, except that the vocals from the original track were preserved, allowing the composer to claim that it's a remix. I like the track, though. Must come down to what the market is willing to bear. - RF -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com@mailman.xmission.com]On Behalf Of Mark Pulley Sent: Monday, July 05, 2004 3:45 PM To: yello(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [Yello] snapshot On 3/7/04 10:10 PM, rfiler(a)SierraWireless.com wrote: > I am happy if a remix track contains at least one > recognizable element from the original song, but the rest is up to the > composer. But if it only contains one recogisable idea, is it still Yello, or is it someone else's track with a Yello sample in it? One dire example I can think of is To The Sea (TSWL Mix) that may as well be a completely different song. That's not to say that these 'remixes' are always bad - it all depends on whether the composer says anything new, or just turns the song into a carbon copy of the latest musical style.

RE: [Yello] Yello World Map / Winners announcement

Actually, I don't think they've picked the winners yet for the Yello Remix contest. I got from reading Jonathan's email that they had selected 5(?) winners for the Euro remix and three of those had also submitted entries for the Yello remix contest. He didn't actually say they had won yet. So we can keep talking about the remix contest :) -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com@mailman.xmission.com]On Behalf Of Tasha Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 5:20 PM To: 'The moon: beautiful.
