Today is the day!

I was happy to recieve and release all of these great remixes, and I want to thank the artists for taking the time to bring this thing to life. I want to thank those who finished their remixes months ago for being quick and waiting paciently for the release; I want to thank those who were short on time but managed to finish their remixes regardless, and I want to than Mister K.H.D. for all of his support and for mixing me an ear catching mash up that serves as an excellent preview to the album. This mash up can be streamed below.

Seven Days to New Collective Audition

Posted on 10/26/2010 by Shyft

The Shyft remix album, titled ‘New Collective Audition’, is finally taking its proper shape. Just a few more submissions, which are reportedly in their final stages, are to be collected before the scheduled release date of November first. The art work is finished, and mastering begins tomorrow. Distribution shall be free, digital, and high quality as usual. A track list will be revealed with the release, since it is not yet certain if the remaining few submissions will make the dead line (but expect between twelve and seventeen tracks). They are timeless classics, though; I assure you, and I have very impressed with what I have received so far. Tell every body. Get pumped! The king of clown core remixed by up and coming names from all over Europe and America!

In other news, I think that I am going to begin posting album reviews (of non-Shyfted Minds releases) here to draw more attention, to keep the posts flowing, and to teach my self how to describe music more objectively- or at the very least seem that way.

Surprise Red Ankh Release!

Posted on 08/26/2010 by Shyft

Despite the reality of Universe and in spite of modern human technology, a Red Ankh EP has managed to travel back in time to fulfill the needs of the present moment. That’s right- SHM052 has found a way to cheat the system and see a release date before Throw Me a Happycore Record (SHM051) and the up coming Shyft remix album (SHM050). How could this happen, you might ask? Well, you will have to down load the new EP and ask it, your self! Even if it doesn’t answer, the twenty three minute plus epic, A Change of (Speechless) Reasons, is sure to please beyond question and logic. Head over to the discography page on the right for an extended description and a down load link.

Remix Album to be Released Early November, 2010

Posted on 08/23/2010 by Shyft

After some delays, the remix album is moving ahead again with the recruit of four new artists. Eight tracks are finished, two tracks are having the finishing touches applied, three tracks are just beginning, and one artist I am waiting on sample work for before being approved. If the six tracks that I am waiting on are completed before November first and suit my taste, the album will be mixed, mastered, and released. If more artists request to take part during that time, I may consider including a second ‘disk’ (this is going to be a digital only release). The confirmed (finished or near finished) remixes are as follows:

Dakkaeus – K.H.D.

Illuryzquin – DJ Istapp

The March of the Champion – T2Kazuya

Ondas – Shoujo

Rompus – K.H.D.

God Mod – Demon’s Breath

I Will Be The One – Shyft

To Destroy All Things – The Augerz

Unforgettable – DJ Istapp

The Kingdom of the Future – K.H.D.

Tracks to be completed are This is Gabber Bizzap, The Face Stealer, Ryzqk, The Sorcerer, 33, and A Warrior’s Fury. Below is a Youtube mash up of the tracks that still need to be completed for the album. All hard core artists are encouraged to send an email to Feind.Shyft@gmail.com including an mp3 of or link to their best work, if they are interested in participating. If the track that you want to remix has already been chosen, I will notify you in my response email. If you are familiar with my work and want to remix a track not listed, feel free to let me know, as I may be open to approving it.

Shyft Versus K.H.D. EP

Posted on 06/04/2010 by Shyft

A yet to be titled Extended Play is in the works by Shyft and K.H.D.. Super hardcore. Super melodic. It is scheduled to be five or six tracks long and released as catalog number SHM049 to make way for the Shyft remix album as the big fifty. The two of us have been working very quickly, which seems to be in our nature when it comes to music production, so expect it soon!

Take a listen to a preview to a brand new track and a full one (The Projekt, if you haven’t heard it yet) below:

Also, MyParasites is doing a remix contest for their track Manipulator and I submitted a gabber remix similar to the style of God Mod. Check out my submission here:

Site Updates: Discography and Literature Listing

Posted on 05/22/2010 by Shyft

Today I updated the discography page and the literature page. Previews of my new music and writing ideas are present, and I think that the discography page is more or less as complete as it can be for now. All available Shyfted Minds Music Division releases can be down loaded for free from there, though you may pay me back for the Red Ankh releases where they are hosted, if you want to. My currently published books are for sale, and can by found by following the link on the Literature Listing page or the link to my Lulu shop on the right side bar.

A New Site, A New Music Project

Posted on 05/20/2010 by Shyft

Ah. Finally a domain that looks like it belongs to me. Using a combination of WordPress and Dot.tk, I have here created a new face for Shyfted Minds. Here I will post only the most relevant of news, I suppose.

The most relevant news currently is this: I would like to announce the beginning of a new kind of music project for me, a massive collaboration- a remix album. It shall be an album consisting of remixes of some of my Shyft project’s most notable hard core/gabber tracks. I will present a track list and artist roster when those things are more certain. For now I have recruited seven hard core artists that I believe will do a good job, and I hope to have on board at least four more. Depending on the run time, I may reach out to even more, or per haps have remix artists double or triple up. I plan to do a remix, my self, as well.
