California Dreaming, by The Mamas & The Papas, and covered by a couple dozen others.  All frankensteined together into this exquisite corpse of a mashup.

"Crystal Mashamphetamine" is a 28 minute mashup mix from cut-n-paste pioneers The Evolution Control Committee.  A semi-sequel to the 2007 Ritalin Ruckus mix, Crystal Mashamphetamine recreates some of the best live mashups from our Wheel Of Mashup shows mixed on the spot using our high-tech VidiMasher 3000.  Whether you were one of the thousands in the audiences cheering us on or not, this mix is for you -- the lovers of the remix.   -- ECC (2014)

Crystal Mashamphetamine

Often songs will use a minor key for verses to build tension, which is then resolved by a happier-sounding major key for the chorus.

The Beatles' Fool On The Hill does the opposite.

No matter.  We've corrected it.

April Fool On The Hill

Subtle, this one... some don't catch the joke.This is Herbie Hancock's synth instrumental anthem "Rock It" remixed and retuned to play Harold Faltermeyer's "Axel F" synth instrumental anthem instead.  From our 2011 album All Rights Reserved.
We finally hit the download limit on this track, but have no fear -- it's now downloadable (for free) from our ECC site.  Enjoy!  http://evolution-control.com/index.php/experiments/mp3s/10091-fock-it


The ECC - Fock It

Ever heard of "Eephing"?  It's basically hiphop human beatboxing, but done by hillbillies a hundred years earlier!  This track mashes it all up -- eephing, beatboxing, Innuit throat singing, some Sanford stings, and The Fat Boys.

I'm TradeMark Gunderson.  I have a band called The Evolution Control Committee.

Since 1986, The Evolution Control Committee has steadily built a worldwide reputation as one of the world's influential and leading mash-up bands, assembling samples and sounds into cut-and-paste masterpieces.  In the early 90's The ECC set the pace with The Whipped Cream Mixes, combining the music of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass with the vocals of Public Enemy's Chuck D.  Although the word didn't exist at the time, this become credited as the first mashup, an entire music genre defined by The ECC's initial A + B formula. In 1999 The ECC upped the ante once again, releasing the single Rocked By Rape as a sort of sequel.  Combining the music of AC/DC with the vocals of newscaster Dan Rather, it made The ECC the target of legal threats from Rather's network CBS.  The record label deleted the song from their catalog, but The ECC waged a war in the press and other creative outlets such as “Napster Bombing”, a strategy they pioneered to fool music downloaders into downloading and spreading their outlaw song.  The song was defiantly included on their 2003 Seeland Records album “Plagiarhythm Nation v2.0”, which charted #1 on many college stations and #23 on the CMJ Core chart.  The ECC has appeared on air from CNN to C-SPAN and in print from Spin to the Macmillan Dictionary (look up “Plagiarhythm”), and have given over 1,000 live performances at festivals, concert halls, bars, and galleries all over the world.
