Jingle Jangle Morning Remix Party!


Everyone loves a remix. Whether its the extended club-dub 12 inch mix of Shannon’s “Let The Music Play” to the first ever mash-up, “Rebel Without A Pause”, by The Evolution Control Committee, most weirdoes agree that remixes are fun. We hear at the Velcro Lewis Group could take ‘em or leave ‘em but we are intrigued by prospective madness our fans could create if given the right tools and a little encouragement.

In September, the Velcro Lewis Group released the single, “Jingle Jangle Morning.” The song has been a staple of the band’s live performance for years and honestly, we’re getting kind of bored with it. So, now seems like the perfect time to host a re-mix party!. Let’s breathe some new life into this jam.
“Sounds fun, right?”
“Sure.”

We’ve made it easy to create your own mix of “Jingle Jangle Morning.”
Send an email HERE and we’ll send you a link to download the file folder. We will also send some words of encouragement to help you define your mix. Something like: “Rufus Thomas playing tennis in a spacesuit” or “High tea with a man-sized cockroach.” It’ll be your choice to follow our lead or not.

Once you’ve downloaded the folder:
·       Import each track into your favorite DAW (Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton, Tascam Portal, Audacity, etc).
·       Align the tracks and have at it!
·       Do WHATEVER you want with the content, we don’t care.
·       There are many ingredients to this mix so the possibilities are endless.
  • Mash it up
  • Add your own vocals or guitars
  • Rap over it
  • Dub-step it (whatever that means)
  • Mix it better than Velcro did for the original
  •  Work on it with your Gramma
  •   Whatever

We will create a digital album that will feature everyone’s mix (yes every single mix) and make it available for free download.

Deadline for submissions is April 5, 2015. (soft deadline)
