March 5th, 2010: Illinoize turns 1 year old today, and with over 50,000 downloads and still hundreds of new listeners every week, I want to say thank you! Also, everyone who has taken the time to email me, make a donation, or write about it in their magazines, blog, or tell their friends - a HUGE thank you!

I would also like to give a shout out to Asthmatic Kitty records for contacting me and extending a license for me to use Sufjan's samples - a really refreshing and awesome move from them, in a time where unfortunately a lot of record companies are still trying to resist the changes in how people listen to, distribute, and manipulate music.

If you haven't heard Illinoize yet check it out, and if you like it become a fan on facebook, and keep checking back here for updates!

Cheers

Been back in the studio cooking up another remix. Here's the spiel:

This one-off remix samples the stuttered rhodes, vocals and strings of Toronto Violinist Final Fantasy's track 'The CN Tower Belongs to The Dead' and mashes it up with the acapella 'Work It Out' from legendary MC, Q-Tip.

For now, this is just a one off track for a bit of fun, but I might include it in an upcoming project I'm working on, I haven't decided yet. You can listen to it below, or head to the download page for FLAC versions as well as the Instrumental.
