Mochipet Gives Away Master P on Atari in honor of Atari’s 40th Birthday!

June 28, 2012 by Leave a Comment

In honor of Video Game Giant Atari Systems 40th Birthday Mochipet is for limited time giving away his album “Master P on Atari” on his Bandcamp page! Master P on Atari was Mochipet’s  follow up to his 808 Opus “Microphonepet” gained him a spot on 2kSports’ NBA2k9 Videogame along side acts such as Beastie Boys, N.E.R.D., and The Cool Kids and now he’s back with another Glitched Out Video Game Marathon. Master P on Atari is dirtier, bassier, and spaceier, with lazers set on full destruct. You’ll hear elements of Hip Hop, Dubstep, 8bit, IDM, Metal, and Chopped and Screwed but it is still all David Y. Wang, expanding on his already immense electronic musical pallet. There might be a reason why publications such as The Clash Magazine (UK), Bay Guardian, and SFWeekly has nomited him as one of the Best Electronic Act of 2008 and one to watch for in the future!

Mochipet Featured in Freq Magazine Canada!

June 6, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Try and think of a musician these days who is more endearing than California’s David Wang, aka Mochipet. The man dons a purple dinosaur costume for his performances, has a DJ name which originates from the tiny rice mould animals he used to make with his grandmother, and is generally a cheery, optimistic dude, as evidenced by his actions following his second laptop theft.

While on tour in New Orleans, Mochipet’s laptop was stolen from a show. But, rather than wring his hands or lose his shit, he rallied by posting a 26-track collection on his Daly City Records label website alongside a new tune: “You Can Steal My Laptop But You Can’t Steal My Swing.” This came with a message: “My friend Graz suggested that I put up a page with some of my music in return for donations… so please download and enjoy the music and give what you can. If you can’t give, that’s OK too… I find the best release for something stolen from you is sometimes to give something away.”   READ ON..

Mochipet headlines the Sync Festival in Golden, BC, from June 1st to 4th, 2012.

Mochipet Featured on Cassette Blog

May 18, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Posted by cassetteblog | May 15, 2012  |

Vamos a arrancar con toda la fuerza del espíritu africano, ese ser golpeado que indiferente a la afrenta continúa festejando a puro el ritmo y alegría. Que mejor manera de encarar el martes con la reversión de sonidos de África que hacen los The Busy Twist, dúo de UK que produce una peculiar y equilibrada mezcla entre sonidos bass y folklore del continente negro.

Les compartimos “Floor Excitement EP”, su última edición, y el track “Ldn Luanda”, el cual han liberado hace poquito para bajada gratuita.
Ya que estamos revisando la visión electrónica de los ritmos africanos, vamos a visitar a Paris a Dj Mo-Laudi y le robamos de su soundcloud dos tracks buenísimo. El primero, es el remix que hizo de “Yapa”, de Le Pas Sage. Bella pieza melancólica, como la foto de un lugar colorido en el cual todavía el hombre habla con la tierra. Y “Secousse” de Secousse All stars, un kuduro energético como para ponerse a saltar.

Luego cambiamos de latitud, y nos vamos a escuchar la tremenda colaboración que han compuesto Mc Zulu y Mochipet, dos artistas que admiramos. Han llamado ska bass a este extraño estilo que producen en “Year of The Dragon (Ska Rmx)”… y si, puede ser…. la cuestión es que nunca nos hubiéramos imaginado la voz de Mc Zulu sobre un track tan rocker… y ¡menos a Mochipet haciendo esa base! Como sea, festejamos el desprejuicio de estos amigos, por que gracias a ello han producido un track veraniego que va a estar sonando en nuestras cabezas por varios meses.

Miren bien dentro de la info debajo del track (entrando en soundcloud), por que allí hay un link para bajarlo gratis.

Para cerrar dubeando, les compartimos la última edición de Urban World Records, sello de mirada mundial que continua con sus lindas y eclécticas ediciones. Ahora le ha tocado a “Less Corruption Remixes EP” de Love Avalanche feat MC BenJammin. El EP está compuesto por el track original, un regaaaaaaaaazo contundente con aire old school, y varios remixes. Las versiones pasan por varias rítmicas, como digital dancehall, moombahton, champeta, digital dub, dubstep, drum & bass y otras mutaciones. Entre los remixers podrán encontrar nombres de artistas que suenan seguido en Cassette: ACEtone Studio, Bigote, David Superpendejo, Andres Digital, Triplet Trix, DJ Trece y Paul Damerau.
