Remember Me Across The Stars

Always one to keep my tiny finger on the pulse, here's one kicking off the new collection - Imago (google it, it's my fave new word) - featuring the hot off the press (is it even out yet?) OST for new movie Oblivion from the mighty M83. And my arch-nemesis Adele. Yep, after numerous years, I've finally bitten the bullet, sold my musical soul, and mashed the one I cannot stand.

But hopefully in this form, I gave her a little 'real' emotion ;)

Remember Me Across The Stars

M83 - Starwaves
Adele - Don't You Remember



What next - something with Tony Stark on vocals and a giant Mech off the coast of Japan on drums?? Maybe....

Love Did Tear Us Apart (the video)

So, you make one of your personal all-time fave tracks and Soundcloud won't let you post it (meh). You post it on Official FM, but then they change to new Official FM and you never get around to creating a new account. So what do you do to make sure folk can hear it...

...simple. Make a quick n' easy vid for Youtube! Using the emotionally epic video for the fantastic I Am Kloot's "Proof" track, featuring Christopher Eccleston (Dr. Who FTW) - flip it backwards, time-stretch it, find you've got some powerful syncronicity going on between visuals and audio, whip in the Cola-vid logo and a quick piece of beautiful poetry from Ian Curtis himself, and Robert's your father's brother.

I won't be stopped....

One Way To Finish (the video)

I am blessed to know some Über-talented people on this scene, and one such guy is scene legend BorisB - one of the greatest video mashers of our day.

So when Boris makes you a video.. you go ape-shit crazy, dance around the room a little and then smoke a deck of cigs to recover....

Running Up That Silent Hill

Not for the first time in my career, I find myself back and trapped in the fog filled ghost town which is Silent Hill. Only this time, I've brought my good friend and protector, the mighty Fissunix. Pyramid Head doesn't stand a chance...

Set Sail For Atlantis

Inspired by the one true future Mrs. Smart, I have a dream of an island where everyone can be free. To dance the days and nights away in the Sun,. To be happy and content with no malice in life. To be whatever you want to be. That island shall be named as Mashlantis...

...and this shall be it's anthem.

Much more to come Cola-fans, keep 'em peeled! Here's to a great year for everyone. Prost!

One Way To Finish

About a month ago I was approached by my good mate Brian K. and was asked if I would like to contribute towards a highly worthy cause, the Kyle's Heart Foundation charity, who are planning a fund-raiser CD. Honoured, and to be honest - humbled, to be asked, this was the resulting track - I hope I've done you proud guys and that the CD has all the success it deserves!

The last of 2012 from the Mash Cave and possibly my personal fave of the year from me, there is only one way to finish my year and it is this....

Show some love to the guys over at www.facebook.com/KylesHeart and let's make 2013 a great year for someone who needs a little help in life.

And from me, a huge thank you to all the boys and girls of the Mashie Nation this year for your tracks, your support, your advice and your friendship (and thank you Lord Fissu for the inspiration behind this track!). I love you all.

And to the Cola-fans out there, a HUGE thank you to you guys and gals for liking what I do and supporting me this year. If you didn't listen, I wouldn't make.

Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you all much success and happiness for 2013, and I'll see you sooner than you think

Much love
Andy CLT
