Objektiv One’s “Neon Trash”

Objektiv One — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:30:22 +0000

A couple nights ago I was up late messing around with some mash ups, and then all of the sudden I had this strange dance mix in a couple of hours. I decided to run with it, and do some artwork. So I drew up this goofy cover, and even decided to release a couple different options with the album so you can choose what cover matches your iPod or whatever it is people do now.

“If you have seen his handiwork on the MPC and/or drums, you know Objektiv One is a talented producer and musician. But he can’t help satiating his craving for creating ridiculous(ly good) mash-ups. There is just something so hilarious, yet great; kitschy, but well composed; goofy, albeit entertaining about his ability to craft something fresh and fun out as he slams together two sonically diverse tracks. Ke$ha’s trashy-as-hell “Tik Tok” becomes the disco dance anthem it was meant to be when it’s paired up with Breakbot. And that’s just one track of three on the aptly titled Neon Trash, a mixture of ambient/dance insanity.” — Andrew Martin, Potholes In My Blog

Objektiv One “World Tour (Chop Suey Slash Up)”

Objektiv One — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:43:39 +0000

Today I dropped one new mash up. This was a joint I had lingering in the vaults but didn’t know what to do with. I decided it was a cool song though and gave it to my friend The Music Ninja. I also got to do some really fresh artwork for this release. I love just doing simple hand drawn type stuff right now. Here is what the ninja had to say if you missed out too:

“A fresh and fun track by another mashup mastermind, Objektiv One. This time he is combining the two worlds of Hip/Hop’s Wale and Hard rock’s Grand Funk Railroad. The fusion results in a larger than life party tune with extra punches to kill it at your next party. Also quick fact: This mash-ups is the official 2010 party song for Ninjas all over the world.” — The Music Ninja

Objektiv One X DJ K.O. “Living Out A State Of Mind Vol. 4″

Objektiv One — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 15:57:35 +0000

DJ K.O. returns with another amazing release that I was fortunate enough to be a part of again. Through this whole series we have decided to keep the covers relatively simple and close to older jazz album covers of the 60s and 70s. Don’t sleep on this crew. DJ K.O. is amazing at scouting talent and really knows how to find emerging underground talent.

“DJ K.O. & the Elementality family return with the 4th installment in a year long series of EP’s that will be released on a monthly basis. Living Out A State of Mind Vol. 4 finds the usual suspects on the mic with production predominantly handled by Analogic this go round. Vol. 4 also introduces SeeMore, a production duo from the UK and the newest members of the Elementality family, with a select mix from their production catalog. Back on November 10, 2009, DJ K.O. embarked on a year long campaign to release 12 EP’s in 12 months. Living Out A State of Mind Vol. 4 is certain to pick up right where Vol. 1 through 3 left off. If you happened to miss any of the LOASOM releases, please feel free to head on over to Elementality Productions right now to check it out.” — Potholes In My Blog

Jabee X Objektiv One “Valentines Day EP: The Remixes”

Objektiv One — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 21:46:40 +0000

I remixed five songs for Oklahoma emcee Jabee. This project all started as me just really wanting to convey some sort of story about the idea of losing a love. Many people have gone through this phenomenon in life, and it particularly becomes heavier to deal with around Valentines Day. Hopefully this connects with some heartbroken, lonely people out there and they enjoy. None of this is meant to be emo, but rather honest about the human experience we all go through. Hopefully, it makes people laugh and nod in understanding. I used no samples on this whole project besides on the Many Gyrls remix. Anyways, check it out, its free. Enjoy it. Dedicated to all the broken hearted and all the girls I ever loved. Check the artwork I did too.

“Objektiv One returns for some post Valentine’s Day relationship advice. What began as a few remixes for emcee Jabee quickly escalated into a full on commentary into the loss of love and all matters of the heart circulating around Valentine’s Day. Presented in a tongue in cheek manor, but each remix was selected and inspired by the lyrical content of Jabee’s Valentines Day ReUp EP. Objektiv One decided to perform all the instruments on the first 4 tracks which included bass, percussion, talkbox, synths, drums, etc to add a level of intimacy for that extra Valentine’s Day loving. Dedicated to all the heartbroken and downtrodden out there. All of the instrumentals are available through the Bandcamp release as well.”

Objektiv One “Rad Jams, Bro!” Free Download

Objektiv One — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 18:05:01 +0000

“Whoever thought that mixing the hip-hop tendencies of Cassidy, Rick Ross, and Montell Jordan with the musical sophistication of Hubert Laws, Spoon, and Belle & Sebastien could lead to a radically fun album of party-ready mash-ups? Well, the always dope Objektiv One has whipped up exactly such a batch of songs for your listening pleasure. So toss aside your music snobbery and delve into Rad Jams, Bro! and allow yourself to just enjoy music for what it is for once.” — Zach Cole, Potholes In My Blog

Objektiv One “Hustlin” (The Spoon Hustler Mash Up) (Rick Ross Vs. Spoon)

Objektiv One — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:33:33 +0000

The time has come again where I release my ridiculous fun filled mash ups to the public. I still can honestly say I hate mash ups. The challenge is really in how dope or ridiculous you can make something by blending two songs together. The creativity is different from making beats. That being said I present the first leak off of my mash up EP entitled “Rad Jams, Bro!” I decided to mash Rick Ross and Spoon because I thought the product would be hilarious to say the least. Hearing Rick Ross’ deep voice over the musical stylings of one of indie rocks most cherished bands was too much for me to handle. Also, I realized I dropped this right around the corner to Spoon’s new album. There must be something in the air that tipped me off. Enjoy “Hustlin” (The Spoon Hustler Mash Up) and get to hustlin them spoons!

Objektiv One X DJ K.O. “Wut I Do” (Feat. East) & “Run & Gun” (Feat. East, Chaundon & Finale)

Objektiv One — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 14:45:29 +0000

DJ K.O. continues on his journey maintaining his path. I really have to say how impressed I am with this whole project. Mainly because visually DJ K.O. wants to stick to one concept and make it all fit together in a series. I think this is brilliant. The repetitiveness of the visuals create a brand. When you see the same style of covers day in and day out you know who is dropping it. Not to mention if you have heard any of this stuff you know its dope. Props to Elementality for keeping it going. This installment also sees some awesome guest appearances creep in with Finale and Chaundon putting it down. Thanks to Potholes and 2dope for pushing this.

Objektiv One X Curly Castro “What Is It Good For?”

Objektiv One — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 14:25:30 +0000

Curly Castro’s track actually dropped last week, but I have been preoccupied with drinking and performing outlandish shenanigans so I don’t even know if I deserve a late pass. However, I got to do the artwork for this one and it was very fun. The theme was an anti-war track and the question posed was “What Is It Good For?”. I thought the people most likely to ask that question were the soldiers who lived through battle. I wanted to try to create a story of a soldier returning home who never really wanted to go to war but ended up being drafted and going anyways. So it is reminiscent of Vietnam era as well, which I think symbolizes a lot of what we are going through now in many ways. Either way, Curly Castro delivers it with Rockess Monsta and Inglish. Get down on this track. Shout out to everyone involved in this.

Objektiv One X MidaZ X Potholes In My Blog “El MidaZ Affair”

Objektiv One — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 15:55:38 +0000

A long time ago in the 1970s I worked on my first album cover. I was really young in the game then, and it was quite a learning experience. It never surfaced because of problems that occurred with the band but alas my work has risen and the music that it accompanies is still groovy.

“Despite having one of the shorter careers out of their contemporaries, the El MidaZ Affair were one of the biggest groups of the early 1970s. Comprised of lead vocalist Javier El MidaZ, drummer Willie “Knuckles” Johnson, bassist Bobby “Too Tall” Willingston, guitarist K.C. Anderson, backup vocalist Rasheeda “Bird” Jackson, horn players Jake and Drake Wyman, and keyboard player Guter Jivelbergen, the group earned their reputation on the chittlin circuit as a must-see live act, playing festivals, state fairs, and jook joints across the south.

By the time they signed a record contract in 1973, the group was at the height of their buzz. But things took a turn for the worse. Studio sessions were tainted by drug use, alcoholism, and an unprecedented pinball machine addiction stirred inner turmoil among the band members. Though a full-length album was recorded, the band split up before it could be released and the project was shelved indefinitely. The members of the El MidaZ Affair moved on to new phases in their life, while El MidaZ himself became a recluse, never to be heard from again.

Until now.

Ladies and gentlemen, straight out of the dustiest vaults, behold the debut album from the El MidaZ Affair…not only the oldest known hip hop recording, but certainly one of the dopest.” — Potholes In My Blog

Objektiv One X DJ K.O. “Living Out A State Of Mind Pt. 2″

Objektiv One — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 17:00:31 +0000

DJ K.O. and the Elementality squad are purebred monsters. These guys never quit. Every time I inhale a breath they are dropping new material, and every time its awesome material. With the next installment in the “Living Out A State Of Mind” series complete and dropping it is becoming apparent that DJ K.O. plans to carry through his goals. A lot of times artists start doing long series over time and eventually fall off or quit, but this team is staying with it. Once again, I was able to do the artwork for this release and had fun doing it. I even took the photos on the front. Its a very basic layout built on the previous concept of the other releases. DJ K.O. likes to stick with a certain aesthetic to create cohesion and I respect that. Check it out!
