we make love

Some exciting news regarding our remix project.

Pete Nickerson, a Toronto based engineer & producer, and bass player for the Toronto based band Cedar, is also going to take on Menergy!

Mr. Furious, of robodance fame, will be remixing The Tonic (one of our favourite songs to play).  Mr. Furious is a seasoned producer/dj/musician who has spent past years djing and producing drum and bass and electro.  He’s played shows with Human Kebab (from USS), Golden Girls, and TMDP, to name a few.  Terence is currently also playing in Cobra, where he is revisiting his guitar/rock roots.

Lauren Burrows, the very cool radio host from CBC Radio 3, interviewed Andrew about creative commons and our remix project.

You can hear the interview here.

(And if I sound like some heavy breathing perv, it was because I completely out of breath.  I was wrestling with my daughter - who actually hung up on Lauren the first time - when she called).

I talked to Jeff Lee of minisystem over the weekend. He’s excited about working on one of remixes, and we’re incredibly excited about having him do something with our songs.  His first release on Noise Factory, madingly, is lush, rich and melodic as all hell.  Can’t wait to hear what he does.

Like everybody else, we’re on twitter: http://twitter.com/thecrafteconomy.

All of our work is released under a Creative Commons license, but we’d also like to help people creative derivative works. To that end, let us know if you’d like to remix any of our tracks from the new EP.

We’ll send you whatever you want, you remix it in whatever way you want, and license it under the same Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 license. And if it is good, like really good, maybe we can put it on our next CD single, due for this spring (and even give you a cut of all the millions we’re making doing this music thing). Email us at theband@thecrafteconomy.com if you’d like to remix something.
