Here’s a little birthday b-boy remix I put together to celebrate my trip to Mexico in 2013.
The Coasters x DJ Mighty Moves – Down in Mexico (B-boy Remix)
Sampled some drums, chopped them up and layered them over the original, and looped it a few times for b-boys & b-girls to practice to/play at jams. Enjoy!

Down in Mexico (B-Boy Remix)

Here's a new one for you! 
My b-boy remix of Ed Sheeran's new song "Sing"! 

As soon as I heard this song, I knew that it could be flipped into a dope b-boy track. It's gotten a lot of play on the radio recently, and is a great song by itself.

It already had some funky guitar stabs and some soul in it, but I felt it was missing some hard drums. I sampled and reworked the guitar hits, created some percussion, and reworked the vocal sections to give it a nice ride throughout the whole track. 

This is b-boy battle and cypher tested and ready for making dancers get funky! Enjoy!

Sing (Mighty Moves B-boy Remix)

Sixty Years (Good Long While)

Good Long While

oh, go to sleep little girl
you'll catch your curlies on the trees
night night little boy
those roots are gonna wrap you 'round your knees
oh it's a copious world
and life's a sparkle in the breeze
and in a copious world
you've still got to live those days you seize

knock knock little bird
you've dropped your feathers in a pile
oh no little worm
no one else is gonna squirm your mile
‘cause in a copious world
we're always going out of style
oh, what a copious world
we only share it for a very little while

at home
in a barrel down the falls
a lullabye has found you
you wander alone
an echo down the hall
until the tune becomes you

hang on little weed
don't let them tell you what you are
up up little tree
your tangled fingers in the stars
such a copious world
an overflowing basket of bizarre
my cornacopious world
you are the loveliest by far 

at home
in a barrel down the falls
a lullabye has found you
you wander alone
an echo down the hall
until the tune becomes you

Here's a quick-n-dirty medley of some rough mixes of the tunes from my new album

Sampler from CAN'T NOT

27 candles aglow today... "Caskets That Small" is a reflection on the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School and on guns in the USA. It is dedicated to the community of Newtown, CT... and to a world where all kids are safe.

Caskets That Small [For Sandy Hook & Newtown]

The White Barn (rough mix v1.1 - Oct 6 2012)

Just wait till you get to know me better
You’ll be so amazed what we can do
When you take the time to know me better
When you let me show myself to you.

I know your days are filled with so many things
You can’t even keep track of all the songs you sing
But I got nothing but time
I’m going to hang around
I’m going to help you build your castle 
back on the ground

There was  time when you trusted me like a friend
You never doubted but now you wonder if you can depend
Listen: We’ve got the same destination—to love and be free
And I know that you’re going to get there
You’re going to get there 
With me.

This piece was composed for my dear uncle, Ken Hatt, the husband of my father's sister, Susan.  Ken passed away in December, 2012.  He glowed.  He was deeply kind and curious, and I remember him with a big smile on his face.  Satie's Gymnopédie #1 was one of his favorite pieces, and I wrote this fantasy for him a few weeks before he passed.  I wanted to write music *from inside* the beautifully simple sound world that the original piece creates.  I played the piece today at a memorial service for him in Victoria, B.C.

Moby on 'A Case For Shame':

“I had this idea to make a video for ‘A Case For Shame’ which actually ended up informing the entire visual scheme of Innocents. In the video, someone dies – maybe they killed themselves out of a sense of shame – and they enter this other world, populated by these ghost creatures wearing masks. They look scary, but they’re actually covering their face because they’re ashamed. When you see someone wearing a scary mask, the first thought is, “What’s going on? That’s intimidating.” But they’re actually hiding – it’s the most blatant act of concealing oneself. ‘A Case For Shame” is one of two songs I collaborated on with Cold Specks. She’s quite shy, and preferred to be left alone in the studio, so I’d hit ‘record,’ go have some tea, then come back in and press ‘stop.’”
