For my entry in the Oom Chugga Remix Challenge I went berserk on the tape echo and emphasized my unhinged guitars and Dave Ellis’ elegant keyboards to frame Russ’ concise and poignant vocals. I added a little vocals of my own (lyrics below) and mixed it as wildly as I wanted to. Even spun some parts in backwards here and there. It was a lot of fun.
Here’s the Oom Chugga Remix Challenge Album in progress! Track 1 is the original mix, produced by Dave Ellis, who also made the audio stems for these remixes. Track 2 is Micblake and Chris Burger, mixed by Josh Lubensky. And then my new crazy one is track 3 ->
What will be next after that?! Goodness knows. Are YOU up to the Oom Chugga Remix Challenge?! Send us a hello at oomchugga @ berkeleycatrecords dot com

Lyrics (Russ):
Oom chugga oom chugga oom chugga chugga chugga
Ain’t got no money
Done lost my honey
My nose is runny
The president’s crazy
Insane
Lyrics (Din):
Cuckoo, cuckoo
What?
Meow
I can’t tell sometimes if it’s the end or the beginning
Berkeley cats in a
Berkeley hats in the
Berkeley flats makin’
Berkeley tracks, what?
(All together now)
CRAZY
