It may sound like an awkward combination, but Gonzales re-working commercial hip-hop is actually quite wonderful. Sign up for his mailing list and get the new mixtape, Pianist Envy, here. Look for some real piano work over people like Busta Rhymes and 50 Cent, and what seems like a Gonzales remix of ‘Vocal Chords’ (just listening now, holy ****!) No excuse to miss this one, thanks to Asian Dan for the heads up.

Tracklist:

Tipsy
Many Men
Touch It
Vocal Chords (Claude Von Stroke)
A Milli
Grindin’
Rollin’ and Scratchin ‘
Single Ladies

If you haven’t seen this yet, it’s great fun. Andrew WK vs. Chilly Gonzales in an epic piano battle. Mr. Gonzales has been working with both Erol and Boys Noize lately, and has done a rework of “Waves” that is simply outstanding. Buy it here here or here. Rumor is that Boys Noize is working on the new Gonzales album, so we’ll see how that turns out. As an mp3 bonus, here’s an old Boys Noize remix of Gonzales, such amazing melody work on this. If you don’t have this in your iTunes library by now, just right click and save as :). Be sure to support all three of these guys as well!
