Wallpaper. mashes up Fool’s Gold with Mariah Carey
November 9th, 2009
Producer / remix master extraordinaire Eric Frederic, he of the Das Racist “Combination Pizza Hut & Taco Bell” remix fame and the hot new Wallpaper. concept album ‘Doodoo Face’, is back with a new series of jams entitled “SiSTRS from different MiSTERS” with a new remix being released every two weeks. Debuting exclusively at Stereogum last week, Wallpaper.‘s mindblowing mash up of Fool’s Gold + Mariah Carey “seamlessly substitutes Mariah Carey’s “Emotions” melisma for Luke Top and Lewis Pesacov’s Hebrew-and-horns incantations.” Death + Taxes Magazine called the mashup, “Mashup of the Century.”
What was Eric Frederic thinking?
“When I first heard “Surprise Hotel,” I felt all these little thought bubbles effervescing in my brain. There is a lot to take in, on a musical level. The original vocal coats this exuberant track with a calm, peaceful beauty. So I started combing the universe for a vocal that seemed as wilin’ out as those guitar parts and roughly the same tempo and / or key. Turns out Mariah Carey’s “Emotions” is already in the exact same key (the relative minor) and dances atop the rhythm section like it was born to. This is the first segment of SiSTRS from different MiSTRS.”
Also watch for Wallpaper’s video debut for second album single “Gettin’ Drip” to hit this week. For those of you in SF, mark your calendar for Friday Nov 27 when Wallpaper rip up Regency Ballroom with Amanda Blank and Peaches!

Boy Crisis – Fountain of Youth (Wallpaper. Remix)
September 28th, 2009
Brooklyn’s own, Boy Crisis, stake their claim within internet notoriety as: “well-liked in the blogosphere”; hip and marketable to several youthy demographics, with crossover appeal; and as having an “ethnic band member.” But all silliness aside, BC does make the sort of rad tunes that are easily accepted by a plethora of kids and queens.
While summer is officially over, you can relish in days of yore or, like, um 3 months ago] by spinning the band’s easy listening lover of a song, Fountain of Youth. And while the original track is a tall drink of water that goes down ever so smooth, if it’s a pop pusher play you’re itching for, then the glitz’n'grit of Wallpaper will seal the deal.
After you hear the extra mondo funky bass added to the song, you’ll fall in love all over with it. It’s almost as if I wanted to come up with a new killer word to describe it, but…
Hell, we’re just going to go ahead and say it. This mix is a BEAST!
