Mochipet Announces Petnation 1st Remix Mochipet is Evil

April 3, 2012 by Leave a Comment

What is Petnation?
A lot of really talented producers have asked to remix my tunes and but there have never been enough avenues for them to do it through. This is why I am starting Mochipet’s Petnation. Petnation will give up-and-coming producers as well as anyone who Loves Music a chance to remix some Mochipet tunes and get showcased doing it.

How does Petnation Work?
We will be putting remix parts for a new Mochipet Song every month, some unreleased, and some from the back catalog. Producers will get one month to remix the song and then submit it to us via this email petnation@mochipet.com. Mochipet will personally pick one winner per month to showcase on Daly City Records and promoted via Mochipet’s 20,000+ email list and Social Networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Then Every 3 months Mochipet will pick one of the past winners to do his own solo release on the new label “Petnation” a subsidiary of Daly City Records; through this we will help get your songs into Video Games, Commercials, etc. Then at the end of the Year Mochipet will pick one lucky winner to get flown out and put up to perform for a show of his choice on the new Mochipet Stage that is currently in development.

How do I get started?
Download the Remix Parts below for this Month and start having some fun with it. email it back to us at petnation@mochipet.com with the mp3 (320k), short bio, and a photo of yourself. We will be in touch if you are picked as the winner!

Why are you doing this?
Because we really do care about the music.

Mochipet Fans Come Through After His Laptop is Stolen in New Orleans

March 15, 2012 by Leave a Comment

THE BAD NEWS: A few week ago Mochipet’s Laptop was stolen in New Orleans on tour. From the artist: “Hello all! I have some bad news to report. While I was on tour last week in New Orleans someone went into my bag and Stole My Laptop. I am trying to raise funds for a new laptop as it’s a integral part of my work and life. My friend Graz suggested that I put up a page with some of my music in return for donations, so I decided to make a 26 Track collection of my work…” Less then a week after David posted this Mochipet fans rallied and spread the word raising enough to buy him a new MacBook Pro. Now David is back on track and ready to make beats for you all again and he wanted to thank his fans personally.

THE GOOD NEWS: “I can’t thank everyone enough. I never thought I could raise the money in just less then a week. My hope was to just spread awareness to other musicians and gear being stolen from shows, and on tours. Believe it or not, after everyone takes their cut, we don’t make that much money as an underground artist. Everyone doing this is just doing for the music and when people come and steal your stuff it really puts a negative feeling to the whole purpose of music, which I feel is to uplift people. I pretty much work all week and play shows on the weekends so I have no social life, but I do it because I love music. To have the fans give back like this really solidifies my purpose, it really makes me feel good about making music again, and I am really grateful for that!” – mochi

MOCHIPET & FRIENDS: PETNATION 5 BACK FROM THE DEAD!

October 12, 2011 by Leave a Comment

The notorious Bay Area crew behind MOCHIPET’S infamous underground PETNATION parties are Back from the Dead and at it again.. and this time, we’re taking you with us San Francisco!

We may have been rocked out of our secret warehouse space last year, but this year we’re back and legit as ever at PUBLIC WORKS SF and we figure what better night to come back to life, than the eve of Halloween?

We’ve rallied up the Daly City Records BASS family and are gearing up for one insane night of beats and glitched out ghouls like nothing you’ve ever seen before!

MARK INSTINCT
We’re bringing out Canada’s heaviest hitter in the bass game for this one, and he’s ready to cause some serious HEAT San Francisco! A longtime veteran of EXCISION’s Rottun Recordings, and currently part of the Subhuman crew, this man is by far a force to be reckoned with. With his fierce, penetrating beats and filthy basslines, it’s no wonder MARK INSTINCT has everyone craving more on the dancefloor… from Australia all the way to the US. Get ready Bay Area, it’s about to get deliciously GRIMEY!

DCarls

MARK INSTINCT (Rottun Recordings | Canada)

A purveyor of fierce, penetrating beats and filthy basslines, Mark Instinct is one bad muthafucka – literally. With roots in metal, hip hop, punk and drum and bass there is no sound off limits for this young producer from Calgary who’s firmly secured himself amongst some of dubstep and drum and bass’s elite. Known for his explosive stage performance and his suave nature behind the decks, you can be sure that Mark Instinct will have your dancefloor poppin. With 2011 appearances at Starscape and Shambhala, and a Australian/US Tour already under his belt, you can be sure Mark Instinct has carved a solid name in the bass game.

This past year Mark’s first EP, Get Loud, was dropped on Rottun Records and featured 5 weighty tracks that have all gotten major playback with everyone from Excision to Bare rinsing them. Currently working on EP releases for both Rottun Recordings and Subhuman Recordings, you can be sure that Mark’s next release will be showing up on Beatport’s Top 100 chart, where he’s had numerous other releases land. In addition to his upcoming releases watch for forthcoming collaborations featuring the likes of Armani Reign, Messinian and Death by Stereo’s Efrem Shulz.

DCARLS (Simplify|Baltimore)
DCarls is coming with the HEAT from Baltimore, Maryland. This talented Glitch and Dubstep producer has his second EP release on Simplifly Recordings title “Flavorhythm 2″. DCarls does not hold back on ”The Heat” in this roller coaster tune with the twists, turns, and screwing bass drops in this a hand crafted masterpiece.

There is no question as to why his tracks are flying up Beatport’s charts. Able to muscle basslines around with the best of them, his compositional and theoretical background in piano and guitar make this stuff look easy, but the intricacy and precision are unbelievable. With an infectious, heavy metal riff and pulsing drums that break down into drum & bass with great regularity, “Splash” is about as subtle as a sledgehammer.
There is no question, not a shred of doubt that this kid is a superstar waiting to break out… and we can’t wait to say “we told you so.”
