Addictive TV on Channel 5's The Gadget Show tonight 8pm UK

For those that don't know (and those that do) Mark (Go Home Productions) Vidler has been involved in
a side project called Addictive TV with Graham Daniels for over 2 years now.
We've pretty much played all four corners of the globe DJ'ing and performing our Audio Visual madness
that cuts up and mashes all manner of Film, TV, Music and anything else that inspires us, into a ridiculously
visual eye & ear fest.
If you've never bothered to investigate futher then get your arse over to http://www.addictive.com/ and do
some catching up.
Anyway, a while back we were approached by The Gadget Show (Channel 5) to apply some of our AV magic
to a challenge that they had set Ortis, one of their presenters.
Well, tonight at 8pm Channel 5 (UK) you can see exactly what we did and watch the story unfold.
Turn On, Tune In and (....you know the rest)

audio editing department and duly obliged. 2 great days in Amsterdam with the W&K team ;)
The spot has gone on to do very nicely thankyou in the Cannes Lions Awards, winning a Bronze.

Go Home Productions "Smells Like Rockin' Robin" (Nirvana vs Michael Jackson) goes a bit viral...

 

Well, it's surprised me to be honest but "Smells Like Rockin' Robin" has indeed caused a bit of a stir. It's only been around for a week but has already surpassed any previous GHP YouTube effort, Twitter feed or blog posting. This is the modern world, eh? A couple of years ago I kinda got off the 'mash-up / bastard pop' crazy train cos the journey wasn't much fun anymore. The initial vibe that drew me in back in 2002 had all but evaporated and it was becoming far too 'work-like', largely due to a fault of my own creation. At the beginning of this year however, I got the bug again and created a few things that have since become 'favourites' but have not quite garnered a split reaction on this scale. Anyway, it's fun watching it all unfold. Grab the MP3 here www.exclaim.ca www.perezhilton.com www.ew.com www.diddyblog.com

NEW GHP "Carpenter's Wonderwall" download:

Another new GHP bootleg / m@sh-up "Carpenter's Wonderwall" Very simple in structure / execution and an exercise in bringing two extremes together in 'perfect?' harmony. Or...a quickie round the back of the bike shed and a lesson in how to ruin a great pop song. As usual this can be grabbed from the downloads section. Also available is a suitably 'simple' GHP video>

NEW GHP "Virgin O'Riley" download:

A brand new GHP bootleg / m@sh-up "Virgin O'Riley". Throws together Madonna and The Who (Like A Virgin // Baba O'Riley). Yes, I should be publicly hung, strung and quartered for this but somehow I couldn't really care less. You takes it, you leaves it :) You can grab it from the downloads section. Made a video for it too, which you can watch below> And yes I'm well aware that 'Baba O'Riley' wasn't used in Quadrophenia but felt it rather apt for this. In my humble opinion The Who were the greatest 'rock' band...

2010: The Year We Make Contact (again)
Imminent Disclosure...

Happy New Yearest, My Dearest!
Winter Website Warm-Up in full flow, lot's to talk about but so little time... here goes.

First, some new bootleg gear for you to grab from the downloads page.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it's been over 18 months since I last dabbled with the dark side of the m@sh: Spliced Krispies.
Dare I say that I've got a taste for it again? Indeed.
Things will definitely be more proactive in that department, certainly more than they were in 2009...
Also, news of GHP joining Addictive TV, GHP's Alicia Keys vs Stevie Wonder mash "Karmastition" being used as one of the tracks
for a finalist in Singapore Idol, an exclusive Al Murray GHP Remix on DVD and an official release for a GHP remix of seminal Punk & Dub Reggae band Ruts DC on the Echo Beach label.

The Boy is Back In Town
GHP returns with a double A-sided virtual 7" single and video

Thin Genie b/w Boys Are Back On The Bottle is a cheeky revision of an idea I had a few years ago with Thin Lizzy and Christina Aguilera. Tucked away on one of the GHP Complete albums was a work in progress called "Genie's Back In Town". I really liked the combo but the lack of an instrumental of the Thin Lizzy track hampered it. Since the Guitar Hero game however, parts have become available and the 2 mixes here are the result of me fucking around with them during the snow storm in the UK this week. "Thin Genie" gives Phil Lynott the lead, with Christina taking over on the flipside. Thanks to the continued freeze lock-in, I also ventured to create a video for the A-Side > Grab them here.

Mark Vidler Joins Addictive TV
So that's why he's been so quiet of late... Frantic Mag.Com Article

Well, it was always on the cards as they say over here.
Those of you who are familiar with all things Bootleg & M@sh-up and have dabbled in the visual side of things, should be well
aquainted with Addictive TV.
Graham Daniels & Co have touted their audio visual magic all over the globe for many a year now, also being the first outfit to
officially remix Hollwood movies including Take The Lead / Snakes On A Plane / Iron Man / Fast & Furious / Max Payne and
most recently Slumdog Millionaire.

GHP & Addictive TV first crossed paths back in 2006 when EMI Records forged ahead with releasing my Blondie vs The Doors "Rapture Riders" track officially and drafted in Addictive TV to create the music video. Since then we've both kept tabs on each others escapades and joined forces in June last year to work on upcoming audio visual projects and gigs as outlined below. First was a Redbull commissioned audio visual mix for the Redbull X-Fighters World Tour 2009 Final at Battersea Power Station last August. 90% of the audio was created by using motorbike sounds alone. We were also asked to create TV spots for FIVE's coverage of the Europa League. The entire spot was made from football sounds and crowd noises.

.

Apart from the commissioned work we've also indulged ourselves in a couple of Classic Cult TV Remix Bootlegs that are currently
going down a storm in the live sets, namely Star Trek & Thunderbirds.
Thus far I've completed ATV gigs at Koko in Camden Town (BIMA Awards Ceremony) and just recently in Moscow's exclusive
Krysha Mira Club in Russia.
On February 5th we are playing Code Live at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada.
At the end of March we are playing a few dates in Paris, France - Nouveau Casino 27th / Echonova, Vannes 28th.
On April 10th we are playing alongside DJ Yoda at the HMV Forum, Kentish Town, London.
All relevant Addictive TV gigs will be updated in the DJ Dates section.

GHP's Karmastition on Singapore Idol
Probably the wierdest fucking thing I've ever seen...

I'm still laughing in a very awkward way after watching this again... OK for those of you who were still in nappies circa 2004, I made a bootleg for Alicia Keys record label. I mixed her new single at the time 'Karma' with Stevie Wonders 'Superstition' and created: 'Karmastition'. It was widely lauded by all and sundry, promo A-listed on radio the world over, big club smash etc but Stevie's 'people' blocked it. Idiots. Still, Karmastition has transcended the ages and was recently used as a track in Singapore Idol. Fathin Amira was the contestant who 'sang' Alicia's part. I know not how she fared in the rest of the TV show but fair play to whoever suggested she tackle it! Karmastition was never released officially but if you scour the darkest depths of ebay you'll find a copy of the (un)official UK or US 12"

Exclusive Al Murray Go Home Productions Remix on DVD
Pub Landlord at The 02 Arena gets GHP remix treatment / DVD extras - Out Now Avalon Press Release

The track in question is "Broken Britain Boogie" - the anthem used on the Beautiful British Tour last year and the Go Home Productions 'Tuesday Night Dance Mix' is available as an exclusive download when you purchase the Pub Landlord At The 02 DVD.

The Ruts DC remixed by Go Home Productions Official Release
Ruts DC Reloaded album features GHP remix of "Love & Fire" - Out Now

Head honcho of the German based Roots & Dub Reggae Echo Beach label, Nicolai Beverungen, enlisted my services last year to remix a couple of tracks by artists who I couldn't turn down, Martha & The Muffins and The Ruts. The Go Home Productions Remix of Martha & The Muffins "Echo Beach" was out in 2009 and now the GHP Remix of The Ruts DC's "Love & Fire" has been officially released. Ruts DC - Rhythm Collision Re-Loaded features the GHP mix alongside versions by Dreadzone, Salz, Steve Dub, Rob Smith and Ruts DC themselves. You can hear samples of all the remixes on the Juno Downloads page. I stayed close to the dub feel of the 1982 original (as is my want) but slipped in a few modern spaced-out fx and melodica riffs for good measure. You can get the CD from Amazon or download from Juno / iTunes etc
