Alice - Pogo

I was so impressed by this unique EP by POGO, aka Nick Bertke, when I heard it last week that I knew that I had to share another track with you today. In fact, I've decided to make this whole week Remix Week. Each day will focus on a different style of music remixing.

Bertke uses samples (sound clips) from Alice in Wonderland to create all new songs. About 90% of the sounds you will hear in this track, titled Alice, are from the film. I can't imagine the amount of time it would take to edit something like this. It's unique and sounds great.

The most recognizable sample in this song is a line from Very Good Advice. All four of the tracks can be downloaded for free here.

Bread and Butterflies - Pogo

Cartoon Brew pointed out this new South African artist who took samples from Alice in Wonderland and mixed them in to a song all of their own. Although it's not really a cover, it is really cool and I knew I had to share it with you as soon as I heard it!

19-year-old Nick Bertke is the genius behind this music. He says of the four tracks he recorded “90% is composed using sounds recorded from the Disney film ‘Alice In Wonderland’.” The amount of time and editing that went into these songs must be incredible. Take a listen and you'll know what I'm talking about.

In this one track, titled Bread and Butterflies, you'll hear samples from Painting the Roses the Red, Twas Brillig and Golden Afternoon. All four of the tracks can be downloaded for free here.
