The Melker Project

THE FIRST TRACK FROM "SKEETWOOD MAC," dropping on 2/4/13!!!

Fleetwood Mac is one of the greatest bands ever. Producers rarely remix Fleetwood Mac. Why you ask? Most remixers and mashup artists focus solely on what is “hot” now – you know, pop songs and EDM “hits.” The Melker Project wanted to buck the trend and introduce mashup fans to some of the timeless classics that often go untouched in remix culture. You know, GOOD songs.

“Skeetwood Mac” is the first in a series of EPs being released by The Melker Project, each focusing on a different classic artist.  As the name implies, this EP is comprised of five Fleetwood Mac songs, each mashed up with Hip Hop and R&B standards. 

This track features the Fleetwood Mac classic "The Chain" mixed with a 2 Chainz instrumental and 3 2 Chainz verses.  "The (2) Chain (z)." Clever, right?

The Melker Project - The (2) Chain (z) ft. Fleetwood Mac & 2 Chainz

This track features one of my favorite (and less known) Fleetwood Mac songs "Never Going Back Again." The country twang made for a really interesting vibe, and Yung Joc seemed to fit perfectly.

The Melker Project - Never Goin' Down Again ft. Fleetwood Mac & Yung Joc

This one makes sense on so many levels.  First, I mixed the stems from the Fleetwood Mac classic "Rhiannon" with Rihanna's song "Cockiness." This was a serious undertaking, considering I had to remove all of the drums from Rhiannon and replay/resynch the remaining parts of the song to the Rihanna Instrumental.  

Since I have been calling myself Skeevie Tricks for quite a while (since Skeetwood Mac was born), I figured I had to mix Stevie Nicks and Tricky Daddy.  And it all came together in this track.

The Melker Project - Rhiannon & Rihanna ft. Skeevie Tricks (Stevie Nicks & Trick Daddy)

"Dreams" is one of my favorite songs of all time. It is perfect. I almost felt bad doing a mashup... almost.

For this one I chose the Ciara song "Ride," as her vocals seem to complement the Fleetwood Mac classic perfectly.  And Luda sets it off as always...
