Here is an interesting
news from Kou Chou Ching, the
hippest Taiwan traditional Hip Hop joint: The French artist Volfoniq has just released an EP «DUB'IN TAIWAN»
collecting three mixes of their track ‹Your name is TAIWAN›. The album is
released by the net label Les
Cristaux Liquident (LCL) under the Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 3.0
license.
If you are a fan of Kou Chou Ching (like
myself), you might notice that the third track in «DUB'IN TAIWAN» — ‹My dub is
Taïwan: LCL edit› — is in Kou Chou Ching's double-CD album «KOU!! It's Coming
Out!!!». It is the 12th track in the 2nd CD, which itself consists entirely
of remixes made by friends of Kou Chou Ching based on their originals in the
1st CD. In «DUB'IN TAIWAN»,
however, Volfonig collaborated with Tribuman and Pier and made two new tracks: ‹Panique sur
le dancefloor› and ‹Tsunamix›.
The net label Les Cristaux Liquident (LCL) is
an artist collective based in Montpellier, France. From their
website, they stated:
Les Cristaux Liquident considers the artistic
creation as a raw material that can be reworked and whose original form can be
adapted and changed. This way of apprehending art, alongside the open culture
spirit, can give birth to new original creations that might be brought to
evolve, transform, multiply…
All the artists releasing on LCL, have chosen
the "Creative Commons" licence, a reliable way of avoiding abuses and attempts
of artwork commercialization, without closing themselves to sharing
practice.
Fearless open culture advocates and
practitioners, indeed they are!
If you wish to enjoy more remixes of ‹Your
name is TAIWAN›, you can listen to the mixes of Viba, DJ Jay Szu, and LTK
Commune, which are collected as the 2nd, the 7th, and the 17th tracks in the
2nd CD of «KOU!! It's Coming Out!!!».
(Kou Chou Ching's original ‹Your name is
TAIWAN› actually is also a mix: Their track mixed the legendary Chen Chou-Lin's
‹Moonlight Sighs› from the beginning!)

耳朵尖的讀者也許已發現， «DUB'IN TAIWAN» 專輯中的第三首 ‹My dub
is Taïwan: LCL edit› ，其實已收錄於拷秋勤金曲獎入圍專輯《拷!!出來了!!!》，是第二片 CD （友情混音版）中的第十二首。 Volfonig
這次的專輯，另外邀請了 Tribuman 和 Pier 兩位音樂人，分別再混音創作成 ‹Panique sur le
dancefloor› 以及 ‹Tsunamix› 兩曲。

(其實本尊也是混得很兇啊，一開始就用了陳秋霖先生創作的〈月夜嘆〉。沒聽過?就七種版本一起聽聽看吧！)
