OHH! SO FAMOUS!

HMM… ON TO THE NEXT ONE.

OhhSoFamous — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 00:31:53 +0000

Ok, by now some of you may have noticed that there are no mp3s on the site… Here’s whats going on.

Yesterday I received an email from my hosting company saying that OHH! SO FAMOUS! has been taken down, contact us for more details.

So I gave them a call to see what was going on. According to them, “There were too many simultaneous connections open at the same time on a regular basis. Put in plain English, the site is getting too much traffic and has outgrown public hosting…”

I had to delete the mp3s because they were the source of the majority of the sites traffic. That being said, I need to find hosting that can support more traffic.

So after I do a little research and find a solution that supports more traffic, everything will be back to normal.

Thanks everyone for your support! We’re moving on, and getting bigger and better.

Just kick back to this one. Between the 15 degree weather outside. being sick, and the things I’ve gotten accomplished this past week, this track couldn’t come at a better time. I’m taking a deep breath and get back into things tomorrow morning.

Til next time.

OU EST LE SWIMMING POOL – DANCE THE WAY I FEEL

OhhSoFamous — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 21:12:40 +0000

Ou Est Le Swimming Pool is a Pop group out of Camden, London. These guys were first put on my radar when Tiesto released a house remix of “These New Knights”. Since then, they’ve been remixed by others such as Armand Van Helden and even tapped on to open for La Roux in early 2010.

MOCHIPET INTERVIEW

OhhSoFamous — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 03:30:59 +0000

Mochipet is a Glitch-hop producer out of the San Francisco Bay area. When he released his first album, he took time to personally mail it to anyone and everyone who requested it. Since then, he’s gained an outpour of support and toured with everyone from Big Boi to Rusko. We recently sat down with David and asked him a few questions.

Who’s on your playlist right now?

Well I actually mostly just listen to the things I’m sent on Soundcloud. It’s hard to put a spotlight on one particular artist when there are so many out there. Psymbionic has been sending me some great things lately.

What ingredients would you say led to your success?

Am I successful? (pause) Well I guess as long as I’m still making music and traveling, then I am. I think all of my songs are unique because they’re influenced by all kinds of different things. Sticking to my music and putting out a variety of things were major factors. Through that, people in the scene realized that I was going to be around for a while and started reaching out to me.

From idea to distribution, How long does a song//remix take?

Hmm.. Well it depends really, sometimes I sit down and things just fall into place. Other times, I become obsessed with a sound and it’ll take way longer. So I’d say it’s different from track to track.

The definition of “Mochi” is a type of Japanese rice cake molded into shape and a “pet” is a domesticated animal kept for companionship. Do you consider yourself a Domesticated Japanese Rice Cake kept for companionship?

Um… well I wouldn’t say I’m domesticated, just ask my ex-girlfriend, hah. On the hand I guess I’d consider myself a rice cake.

Did some of your friends star in the movie Jurassic Park? If so, anybody we might know?

I wish. I heard the T-Rex from the movie tried to crash one of my parties one time but security tossed him out before he could cause any real damage.

(Laughs) You know it’s funny, I don’t even know how this whole dinosaur thing got started. I wore the outfit to a show once and it just snowballed from there. Fast forward to today and I have posts on my wall for dinosaur shoes, backpacks, and things like that.

I need to ask you something for the sake of my curious female dinosaur readers, are you single?

Uh, Yes I am.

What are your thoughts on Britney Spears bringing Dub-step to kiss FM and other mainstream outlets?

I think it’s great. I’ve toured with Rusko and I gave him shit about it but put in his position, I’d do the same thing. I heard her single not too long ago and it’s a really well produced track.

What’s your setup like and are you more software or hardware based?

I used to be more hardware based when I started. But since then, I’ve kinda evolved and now lean more towards the software side of things. My setup is constantly changing.

Do you produce your music in the dinosaur outfit?

No, uh.. I actually do in my boxers usually. That or naked. (laughs) I mean I get in that mode where I just don’t leave the house for days and only focus on whatever I’m working on at the time. Right? If I don’t have to get out of my house why bother. Haha.

Favorite Sound you’ve created to date?

Um… Rawr? Haha.

Mochipet has a remix of Samples – “Drop Bombs” you can pick up over at Addictech or you can wait for it to hit other the outlets on the 22nd of next month courtesy of Daly City Records.

AWOLNATION – SAIL

OhhSoFamous — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 05:54:40 +0000

AWOLNATION is a refreshing new electronic band that released their “Back From Earth” EP in May of twenty ten. The album does a fantastic job of including soul-felt vocals that are often absent in electronic music. Sometimes, the expectations of the ones you love can be overwhelming and it seems impossible to shake the fear of not being able to deliver, thus “Sail” was born…

AUTOMATIC TOYS – DEEP SLEEP

OhhSoFamous — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 01:31:34 +0000

Automatic Toys is an electro rock band out of Toronto, Canada. The wobblicious “Deep Sleep” is filled with plenty of harmonic synths and the rock vocals simply set it off. These guys just posted a few new tracks on their myspace which can be heard here. Can’t wait to what these guys do next.
