Spaceship Girl (MattGC Dubstep Mix) by MattGC

The first thing that came to mind when I saw this was Sophie Monk & Holly Valance. Two aesthetically pleasing (depending on your tastes) aspiring Australian actress, who never managed to make it Hollywood superstar status. Oh, and they’ve both been on Entourage EXACTLY as the video describes. Oh well, at least Holly Valance’s character slept with Eric. You can count the number of his on-screen ladies over the last 7 seasons with two hands.

The LA Homie Phenom us up on this. If this aint some Leon Smith shit, I dont know what is. Fuck Yeah.

Woaaah, this sounds NOTHING like the last time these two tom’s teamed up for the top 40 ARIA hit – The Bum Song.

Alliteration FTW!

Includes remixes from Fluke, Flynites, Fil & MattGC.

Flynites mix is sick! I’m pretty proud of my own mix too!

Perfect.

Familiar (MattGC Remix) by MattGC

I kinda dropped the ball on this one. I actually did this over 6 months ago (Before the Chuckie or Logan DeGaulle mixes), but never got around to giving it to peeps, for one reason or another. (I was moving house, I think.)

It’s still dope, and since you’ve spent the last 15 second of your life reading this, you might as well spend the next 4 minutes listening to it.

Hello Good Morning (MattGC Remix) Extended Dutch Intro by MattGC

Just me and my bossss…

By far, my favourite track on Teflon Don (althought I prefer listening to the Drizzy only version of this – Paris Morton Music) produced JUSTICE League (and clearly some additional production by 40)

There’s something weird going on here though – The clip is for the extended remix of Aston Martin Music with Drake’s verse – which never made it onto the album. But why is Ross version censored nicely, whilst Drizzy’s verse has those awful reverses to conceal the language? Did they lose the acapella for Drake’s verse? Even then, they could have used the instrumental to simply mute the offending parts of Drakes verse. I’m confused. It kinda feels like including the entire drizzy verse in the video was an after thought.

The making of the beat below is a nice insight tho:

If you havent heard both Breezy’s Yeah 3X and Calvin’s I Am Not Alone. peep them both below first

So yeah, there’s a slight change in around the 3rd bar, but stylistically, the jacking here is not even subtle. Almost identical chords, same rhythm, same sawtooth based synth, and same drop (ie, no drums). Which, essentialy, is the trade mark of Calvin Harris’ I Am Not Alone.

Before peeps jump on the Anti-breezy bandwagon, again, there is the chance he’s never heard I Am Not Alone, or even heard of Calvin Harris. The States are generally pretty ignorant to outside music, even their own big dance artists get minimal local exposure, but are arguable superstars internationally. (read: Steve Aoki and Ian Carey). Which means there’s a chance that an aspiring producer copied I Am Not Alone and sent it to Chris, who completed the record and put it out, none the wiser. Many aspiring producers try to kick start their career by mimicking popular songs in attempt to land placements. This is generally a pretty short-sighted decision, but hey, it happens.

The final piece to this theory is that surely someone at the label recognized this and should have said something, but: A – It seem like Chris has been operating outside of Jive a lot lately, just throwing out mixtapes and tracks to the internets, and forcing the label to catch up, and B - a Hit’s a hit. As long as they’re not gonna get sued, I dont think anyone at the label would have an artistic objection to this.

On the other hand, maybe Chris new exactly what he was doing, and was counting on the naive narrow minds/ears of his core (American) fanbase. He probably should have just tried to clear it (Pitbull style), but I can’t imagine that working in his favour:

Mind you, dont be too mad. Katy Perry, Taio Cruz and Rihanna all have had big records that are somewhat influenced by Calvin, albiet a little more subtly.
